Holy LTE Batman!

[CA3LE]

This my speed with Verizon in my sisters living room.  I can't wait till this is the normal, unfortunately it's dependent on the area.  

 

iPhone 5s USB tethered to rMBP, in the center of the home... lots of walls in the way.

My alternative is a 1 Mbps capped Cox connection.  I've been trying to talk my sister and brother-in-law into upgrading.

Hey, at least it's performing exactly at their package speed.  It's funny when your cell phone is 40X faster than the land connection.

The 42 Mbps you got looks like what might be about the max throughput for the iPhone 5s. That's about what I get on the 5s using WiFi thru my AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n. The AEBS is hooked to a 100 Mbps router and then the 100 Mbps cable modem. When I'm getting about 42 on the iPhone with Wifi, my Ethernet wired connected iMac gets about 52-54 Mbps, the max of my plan.....I only get that consistently from about midnight to 8 AM. When I run the iMac with WiFi running and Ethernet disconnected, I get the same numbers as with it wired. So I think the 42 Mbps number is about max for that phone. Amazing that you can get that on a phone connection. With my AT&T LTE, I'm getting about 11 Mbps avg on the iPhone.

That's about 3-4x faster than my IPhone 4 was on AT&T. If I remember right, it usually came in at about 3 Mbps.

... I've seen well over 40 Mbps on the iPhone 5. Here's on my Comcast connection.

https://testmy.net/db/gxKzfyX 70 Mbps on iPhone 5s. I've seen > 50 Mbps on LTE but I wasn't logged in so I can't find the result.

Holy crap. Must be a limitation of my AEBS + Cable Modem/ISP plan. My plan is 50 max and I exceed that (53-54 at times) on my wired iMac. But I've only seen low-mid 40s on my wireless. I have 7 things hooked to the 802.11n AEBS. Don't know if that slows it down a little or not. Even when I'm standing right next to the AEBS I rarely see above 42-43.
