Wow @c1ph3r2u, that is 10 times slower than merely slow. So in your area you seem to have 2 issues 1) Slow speeds even when you and your colleagues have good connections (3-4 bars) = too many users; 2) in  some areas you get 0 bars = holes in coverage area. Have you checked the next closest speedtest server? I get dramatically different results here in Baltimore, MD even with relatively equidistant servers like Washington, DC versus Frederick, MD. There use to be 2 servers in Baltimore (one gave dramatically slower results than the other). But then again, if you have colleagues getting good speeds on the same server at the same instant with another carrier like ATT or TMobile......then that's another story. Allegedly, advance LTE with higher speeds, will help a lot. I'm still getting 30 to 42 mbps in the best signal strength areas in Baltimore.
