Hello All,
I'm on new build stock LMY48M (rooted), and notice that my LTE is slowed down. I'm on unlimited data and my plan just started a new month. Over the last few days I notice my system slowing down, and now my network speeds are way down. I'm down to 12 mbps down and 6 mbps up on the high end, on the low end 6 mbps down and 8 up. When I switched to wif my phone stopped have issues, and my speed test showed 26 down and 5 up. This makes me think VZW is throttling me. If they are, is there any way to get around it?
Thanks,
collegencmc

Not sure. I'm on Verizon ULD. Houston is saturated. Running 24 down and 2 up. Actually surprised me. I'm still stock Z before stagefright. Only get band 13. Have never seen AWS.
Verizon doesn't throttle

Last night I just happened to glance at my phone and saw 4G/LTE at the top. Sure enough, I was getting LTE in the Birmingham, AL area. It has not been officially announced as far as I can determine.
I am not seeing the speeds that others have reported, but I am getting more than double my previous speeds. The internet loads faster and other data apps definitely load faster. So, I can see a significant improvement. Last night, I was getting faster upload speeds than download. This morning, it's more normal with download speeds about twice as fast as upload speeds.
Update: Initially I was seeing about 10 Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload. I did some later testing this morning and am now seeing 14-18 Mbps download speeds.
I suspsect AT&T wants to roll out LTE in more areas with the new iPhone coming out soon. People will not be happy if they don't see LTE when they turn on those new iPhone 5's.
I'm surprised Birmingham hasn't had LTE. We have it down here in Mobile.

Could be any number of reasons why they were able to implement it in Mobile before Birmingham. There are still a lot of major metropolitan areas that did not have AT&T LTE a few weeks ago when they announced a number of areas getting it. Birmingham was not on that list I saw.
Hi everyone,
I have an unlocked, rooted, running 5.0.1 Lollipop Nexus 6 that is on the Verizon Network. I also have an unlimited data plan. Ever since I upgraded to 5.0.1 I have been getting very slow upload and download speeds confirmed with the SpeedTest mobile application. I attached a screen shot for you all to see. I've tried rebooting, tried changing from Global to LTE, even turned off N6 and took out SIM card for 5 min to still no avail. Prior to the upgrade, I was averaging around 20 to 25 Mbps downloads. And I have not changed locations recently. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
I thought I was the only one with this problem, my download speeds are slow now as well. I get 6mps, when normally I get around 35mbps
Are you guys on the latest radio??

I used the radio file from the shamu-lrx22c-factory-ff173fc6.tgz image. Are there specific radios for Verizon?

Holly hell!!! Finally someone who lives in my city, I also get horrible LTE speeds...the most I get is 23mbmb...on 3g I get 25-30
Are you on the new 5.1 radio or older 5.0.1 radio? I was on the new one and my lte was horrible but flashed the old one back and they are alil better, still not great

whats horrible with 23mbps?? doesnt matter if you upload speeds are faster, 23mbps download speeds are very FAR from horrible.
what are you using to test your speeds. I use Speed Test. I get 30.31 mbps down and 24.51 mbps up in Eagan MN. This on the new M build with the 95R radio. You may want to try a different server if you are using Speed Test. Other wise it could be a problem in your area.
Perhaps LTE is loaded.....but wow complaining about 23mbps haha

Well, on Tmobile in pdx area, I got 60+ Mbps on 5.0.1, but *only* 23 Mbps on the 5.1...D build, but going to the proper 5.1...M build I am back in the 60 Mbps range, so I would say that 1/3 speed is terrible.

Without speed test no one would tell the difference lol
M is meant for tmo so of course its optimized for tmobile networks.
While on D I did not speed test so I didn't notice any speed difference.
Maybe I'm not going crazy! I'm having the same issue in Louisville, KY. Before 6 in the morning, I can manage close to 10Mbps, which is fine. After 6 in the morning, I'm lucky to get 2Mbps, often below 1Mbps. It's bad enough that I can't even stream music on Google Play when I go jogging. And, this is in a populated area in the interior of Louisville.
I'm on the 5.1 radio, but I've been having problems all month long even on my 5.0.2 radio.
Like you, my network actually runs faster in 3G than it does in LTE. I'm considering switching over the StraightTalk next month if the problem persists since I'm only getting 3g speeds at best anyways.
By the way, I'm on a Nexus 5, not the 6. So, it's not phone dependent. I just happened to stumble across your post while researching.
Does anybody know why my data on the nexus 6 is so slow only time it's decent is in the early morning hours like 2am 3am etc but I know you're gonna say well maybe the network is congested no every other phone I have gets decent speeds all day even my sons Alcatel one touch which is a hspa phone my hspa speeds are faster on my nexus than LTE, my Z3, unlocked droid maxx and lg g2 all get almost 30mbs down and bout 15up while my nexus maxes out at like 2mbs down and 8mb up. I'm on 5.1 stock unrooted

Do you have the Unlimited LTE Data plan?
I've had this as well. I'm on T-Mobile in Phoenix Arizona. When I'm out and about, I'll run speed tests and range anything from .50 Mbps to 4mbps download speeds on LTE. Well, that's assuming I can even connect to data. Usually just get the ! instead.
Yes I have unlimited LTE
I'm on unlimited. When I sideloaded the 5.0.1 D OTA update my phone was fast. When I switched to the 5.1 M update it slowed to down a lot. I flashed 5.1.1 T-Mobile update and it's still slow. It doesn't matter the time of day or server. It's just slow. Right now I'm on 5.1.1 unrooted. I'm thinking about flashing the 95R radio from the 5.0.1 update and see what happens.
Edit: My 3G is faster than my LTE. My Nexus 5 is fast.

My APN is the fast.T-Mobile.com APN that came with the phone I deleted all the other apns
im having a weird data issue too. connectivity on lte and wifi or both erratic after updating to 5.1.1 last night. going to wipe it this am and see if that fixes it.
Same here.
Since moving from my Note 3 (16 to 20 Mbps down) to my beloved Nexus 6 I am getting horrible speeds. This morning a little more than 1 Mbps. I put in a repeater to see if that would help speeds, but no. I was just assuming that I was on an oversold tower. I AM on the unlimited plan. I have also been wondering if I am throttled. I go to my father in laws house and I have gotten 50Mbps down on this Nexus. I would like to add that I don't think it is the phone. I used an adapter and put my nano Sim back in my Note 3 and got the identical results. So it leads me to look at my service being cut or my tower oversold.
Something is wrong with my APN I use the stock APN that comes on the phone it's slow but there is also an APN for metro PCs if I use that one it's get like 10mb down and up maybe I need the stock T-Mobile apn
So I'm lucky enough to live near a tower alongside a lesser traveled interstate. Past 6 months I've been with Sprint I've had excellent service. 4g LTE nearly all the time unless I'm in my basement. I actually get over 30 Mbps at my house on Sprint 4g. So what the heck would make it suddenly stop? It goes to 4g then right when I try to do something it freezes basically, the 4g spinning icon stops, and does nothing, bars drop to zero no service and then 3g kicks in. Could Sprint be throttling me? I have used a lot of data in the passed 6 months. As in average 30 gb a month.. I've updated my profile and prl still nothing.

Is your phone rooted or modified in any way? If not, dial *#*#4636#*#* choose phone info, scroll down and choose LTE only
Yeah I've been rooted since I've had this phone past 6 months. I'm pretty sure my 4g radio has an issue because it'll get signal for 10 seconds and just drops to zero. Unless Sprint is kicking me off 4g website I am quite the data hog.

update PRL from system options if you are on stock rom.
Fair usage policy is 100GB per month(for most providers), if you didn't consume it there is no problem with data hogging.
Thanks for the help but it turned out to be a sim card issue. I ordered a new one for the M8 the Sprint said it wouldn't work so that sim locked it and when I put the old sim back in and voila! 4g again! So if anyone ever runs into this try a different nano sim card. Even if Sowing says it won't work take it out put the other back in.
