The Wifi icons are the two fastest in your tests, you are also using wifi in this screenshot. The slower speeds on AT&Ts network are not impressive, Verizon's LTE speeds can hit well over 100Mbps, faster than your Wifi. Also, your results are FAR from typical. A look thru any of the threads here with people testing LTE speeds will tell you that. AT&T is usually well behind Verizon speeds in those posts.
Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. VZW is running a 10x10 network on 700 right now. Max is about 73 Mbps. They will add 20x20 on AWS which will double throughput.
And no ****, I'm on wifi right now. I took that screenshot at home when I'm connected to WiFi and went thru my history. The rest of the tests are on LTE. Its fine if you don't know what's going on, but just admit it without being in denial.

Im near boston and your att speeds blow my verizon lte away.
I get averege 20-30 and when im at work near the tower I can hit 55-60 and to the poster that thinks Verizon is getting 100mb its not physically possible on there network right now.
Yup. I have both in Boston and while VZW is just as reliable, AT&T blows it away in coverage and speeds. They're running a higher cell site density here than VZW. Can't go wrong with either, but I do average well over 40 Mbps in my area, even at peak times.

Nokia 928 has AWS also, as the quoted article covers. Wonder if that site is paid to post inaccurate info?
Correct. 928 and S4 have AWS. Nokia really didn't talk about it as much as Sammy

I live in VA's largest metro area, and over the last year, Verizon's LTE speeds have gone to crap. Utter crap.
AT&T's HSPA network will usually average faster. AT&T and Sprint's LTE network speeds here utterly shame Verizon's.
To me, it's almost like Verizon was in a super hurry. It seems like they rolled into this area in late 2011, put LTE on the least amount of towers they could get away with, and then rolled on out. LTE signal hasn't improved for me (or my friends) since then, which is weird, .. Verizon's voice and non-LTE data network rarely dips below 4 bars anywhere around here, whereas their LTE network has many areas with only 1-2 bars. And Verizon's LTE speed has done nothing but decline since then.
It's kind of a shame. But I guess since with their network, it's either ~500kbps "3G" or LTE, they're really under the gun to roll LTE out as fast as they can. I just hope they get off their ass and come backfill LTE here so that it's on par (coverage wise) like their competition.
I'm going to have to agree with this. My brother lives in NoVA and my VZW mifi was dirt slow in the Tysons area and once I got into DC. AT&T was great everywhere.
It looks like VZW is hitting capacity. AWS is being deployed for this reason alone.
They spaced their sites too far apart, which is a big NO NO in major metro areas. Eventually they will go back and fill them in, but VZW is still gunning for area covered fast and not how good the coverage really is. Once I leave Boston, my Mifi has trouble keeping LTE because the sites are too wide from each other. AT&T, I don't have these issues at all.
