2nd option is www.testmy.net (i didn't check this site with Z10, though).emkay47 likes this.01-23-14 03:42 PMLike 1 - Thanks for the heads up guys. Here are the results: I did two tests, one on my wifi @ home and then one with the mobile network as I'm guessing that is the one that matters.
Wifi:
Att network:
Hope that helps.

Posted via CB1001-24-14 01:04 PMLike 0 - Gotta love cali, expensive yes but nice...hmmmm that's weird, wouldn't it say hspa+...I only ask bc I buy unlocked phones for the most part and @ one point I had a 9900 and a z10 that would only show hspa+ coverage...I thought hspa+ was lower than 4G like a 3.5G but then again I'm probably wrong so feel free to correct me...its been awhile since I've had a BlackBerry with hspa+
Posted via CB10
Now, I cannot confirm this, but I assume Blackberry recognizes the HSPA and HSPA+ as 4G and identifies LTE as LTE.
Older blackberries that did not have LTE had H and H+.
For example on my android devices with AT&T I get 4G when I am in HSPA/+ and 4GLTE when I am in LTE.
Since there is no signal diagnostics or anything of that sort due to AT&T's terrible lock-down of their devices, I cannot confirm how it works.
So, unless you see H or H+ time to time, I would have to guess that 4G is actually HSPA/HSPA+.
I think you can download the app "Signal" from blackberry app world and post your findings.You mean you never saw LTE on your phone so far?I just read that you mentioned you get LTE time to time..
And, after all these things, if you are getting 10mbps with HSPA, I am thinking about getting the -3 from Amazon with their super sweet 30 day return policy and try it out! Maybe I will get good HSPA speeds in NY after all.. (nobody replied to my request in other thread, I guess there aren't many AT&T users with VZ Z30 in NYC ) I know amazon is about $80 more expensive than Verizon, but come on, return policy and no restocking fee is well worth the add'l cost.01-24-14 01:19 PMLike 0 - I wanted to follow up in a little more detail on my model. Initially I got the Verizon model. I wasn't really concerned with LTE as 4G is plenty fast for me.
I returned it because I hated the Verizon branding on the front if the phone. If I'm going to pay that much for a phone, I don't want their ugly branding on the front of it if I don't use their service. It really just bugged me.
After looking at the different carriers and frequencies they offered, the Bell model mad e the most sense for me, just from a 4G standpoint. Turns out, I got LTE as a great bonus. I live in Louisville. KY and have gotten LTE everywhere I've been with the phone, outside of a few places that I've never gotten it where they don't offer LTE. Pretty awesome and this phone gets the best reception of any phone I've ever had, and I've owned too many to list.01-24-14 02:25 PMLike 0 - I wanted to follow up in a little more detail on my model.

Question: Can you turn off LTE and limit your phone to HSPA/4G? If so, would you mind switching LTE off and running a speed test as well?01-24-14 02:40 PMLike 0 - Here's when LTE and 4G is used on Rogers. Results show the difference in speeds between the two. In some days, I can get 91 down speed in the same location for LTE.
You can force your phone to only use 4G by changing the option below.
When I was in the US last December, I bought a straight talk SIM from Walmart. They support both AT&T 4G LTE and T-Mobile 4G HSPA+ so I choose the former. I think in the Manhattan area, I got around 15 down which is not bad for surfing.

When I make a turn into my neighborhood off the ramp (NYC) my Tune In starts skipping, my bars drop and when I get into my house I get 0.5mbps speeds on LTE.
Want some eye candy to make you feel a whole lot better?? I used NJ server because NY server was giving me terrible pings.
01-24-14 03:42 PMLike 0 - Thanks, this looks awesome. And your last statement "not bad for surfing" think about all of us with AT&T who barely get 10mbps on LTE.. We still get by, some streaming here, a few skips there.

I'm in Waterloo, ON and I'm used to getting Rogers LTE signal in most areas I go to and playing Songza while driving.

Posted via CB1001-24-14 06:39 PMLike 0 - Yeah you're right about the h/h+ now that I think about it. I remember a forum member confirming that h+ was actually 4G with certain unlocked phones when used on the ATT network. It was when I researched that I read h/h+ was like a 3.5G. I get lte from time to time depending where I am but other than that I get 4G locally. I can live with that. On a side note I would pull the trigger on that amazon deal lol

I just ordered Z10 online someplace. I was waiting to receive that first, and I got a trip planned next month so I am afraid that would limit my return period.
I decided to wait until that magical 1/28 release date of official 10.2.1 and try it on Z10 and then unlock it and pass to wife, and get myself a Z30.
I hope more people can disable LTE and post speed tests with AT&T on Z30.01-24-14 06:49 PMLike 0 - OK. I will stop complaining. I thought 10 Mbps was a mediocre speed when I was in NYC since I bought a PAYG sim card and I got I think unlimited data (they throttle the speed after using 4GB) for a month. I remember that I had to use the escreen to enter the correct APN for ATT to get data since by default, the settings with the sim card only allowed 4G voice.

Well, next to AT&T stores I do see 30mbps speeds and in some rural parts of NY (like in a parking lot of a mall right outside the city) but when I am in more populated areas like midtown manhattan, certain parts of queens, etc I rarely go over 10. On my building I see 1 if am lucky, so it is a huge hit or miss and I learned to live with that. T-Mo has a much better LTE coverage out here.01-24-14 06:50 PMLike 0 - Just as an FYI AT&T doesn't allow that network option and you can't turn off LTE unless you are in the escreens Web application which is not a big deal but is a few extra steps.01-24-14 06:56 PMLike 0
