my data speeds have slowed dramatically since I have switched to the unlimited plan. Why is that?

My LTE data speed had slowed months before changing to the unlimited plan. My data speeds are so slow I can't check my e-mail. I was told by a sales rep that my iPhone 5s wasn't compatible with the new LTE service, so I bought a new iPhone 6se today and my data speeds are just as bad! I live, work and travel in St George Utah (84770), and my friends who live in the same area have similar phones and Verizon have far better LTE speeds than me. I'm very upset I pay so much money for absolutely the poorest service.

Having the best speeds possible is a must, BRIHES59. We would like to work on some troubleshooting with you to ensure you have great speeds. Have you attempted any troubleshooting steps on your new phone?

ZAST808 -

We pride ourselves in our network, so it's upsetting to learn you're having speed issues since switching. Let's get to the bottom of this.

What is your zip code? Does this happen all the time or specific times of the day?

I switched to Unlimited plan just before leaving for pipeline job, my hotspot speeds before were 10-15Mbps down and 5-10Mbps up.

These are my speeds now-

I am assured that they are working to fix the issue as soon as possible, yet it seems to persist. I am sure you can imagine even the headache just to get here to type this. This is basically paying for unlimited internet to get no internet. If a tower is down then give us some [removed] satellite internet until it is fixed, it averages about the same [removed] speed as I am getting on your towers anyway at full 4g(10Mbps)

We appreciate the zip code. It definitely was helpful. Let's dig deeper. If you don't mind me asking. How much data have you used this cycle?

I've reset network setting numerous times.

I just started a new billing cycle on April 8th, since then there's been very little change in data speeds. Instead of .01Mbps, I'm getting about .50Mbps. I've only used 1.2G since the start of my new billing cycle.
