Re: LTE on Nexus 5

That would be "signal strength", not necessarily "speed"

 

So, that means you're probably a handful of hops away from the central

server, which slows things down?  Or there's something on your local tower

that hasn't been upgraded to support faster speeds?

 

 

Best I can liken it to is your wireless network card.  If you have an "N"

card in your laptop, you only get "N" speeds if everything between your

laptop and the Internets.  Wireless N speeds support 54mbps (108 in some

brand-to-brand connections).  If you have a 10mbps hub in the middle, even

though you've got a fast connection at one point, something in the middle

has slowed you down, so the final speed is limited by the slowest

connection.

 

 

Again, that's me not knowing anything about T-Mobile's infrastructure, but

hypothesizing about various known network infrastructures.
