The iPhone 5 now supports LTE networks, and Rogers, Bell and Telus have done their job in setting up LTE networks coast to coast, with ongoing expansions currently underway. I asked you guys to send in your Speedtest.net screenshots to us, and here are some randomly selected tests completed on Rogers, Bell, Telus and Fido.
Want to share your LTE speeds in your area with us? Download Speedtest.net in the App Store (free), run the test over LTE, then share your download/upload speeds (you can also take a screenshot by pressing Home then Sleep/Wake quickly; for evidence) with us in the comments using this format:
Thanks everyone for sending in your screenshots. The fastest screenshot we have received was the Rogers network in Brampton, Ontario.
Below: Left: Brampton; Right: Downtown Vancouver
Who’s going to the be the LTE speed champion? GO!

Wish I could still waiting for Rogers LTE to come to Hamilton :S second biggest city in Ontario and were last on the list it seems
i feel that Hamilton is so small compared to other cities. like the mississauga seems bigger don’t you think? and Hamilton just feels compressed.
Just sucks I have a LTE phone an cant use it to its potential .
Brampton, Mississauga, etc are technically Toronto so wouldn’t count. As it stands, Hamilton is 3rd largest popultation in Ontario.
It’s the 5th biggest city: http://www.citypopulation.de/Canada-Ontario.html#Stadt_gross

Where in Montreal !? I get average of 17~20 download and 13~15 upload
Depends on congestion, more people means slower speeds. In my office I average those speeds, but at night when nobody is around then it up to 50+ (Toronto)

Try again! Go to Results tab in the app. Tap the test result. Tap the envelop near the top. Your e-mail will open, scroll down a bit and you will see a speedtest link ending with 123456.png copy that into your browser. Save the image and when you post a reply here click the picture frame right below the text on the left to upload!
Nah I thought it was gonna convert it into a link, as in my text editor it was blue text with an underline, but after posting it was only text. I quickly corrected myself 3 minutes later with Dropbox below.

I was getting just under this on Rogers in Halifax, NS too. Although sometimes my upload is only hitting 3 Mbps. Why do you suppose Rogers seems to be slower in NS than ON?

I haven’t seen anyone mention problems with their LTE
service. I’m in Edmonton and about 95% of the time I get 3G even though
I’m in the claimed coverage zone for LTE. The other 5% of the time I get
LTE but have to be in a different are of town. I see speeds of 25 to 40
Mbps and I’m with Virgin. This is so disappointing I feel like Bell
(Hell) is at it again with their false and misleading advertising that no one
is holding them accountable for… F$%*ING BASTARDS!
Rogers is the same. At home I get full 3G and 1 bar of LTE so my phone keeps changing networks and draining the battery. And this in Toronto where LTE is suppose to be everywhere!
What can i say we are at the mercy of the canadian telecom co’s who eliminated all competition and are now operating as a monopoly.. an oligopoly if you will
There’s a known issue on the Bell/Telus/Virgin network with the iPhone 5. Lots of reports of no LTE connectivity or sparodic connection. A master ticket has been opened but no ETA.
Can you let us know where we can find more info about this? Is it official somewhere?

Nice–whereabouts did you get the LTE connection?
I got the LTE connection on iPhone 5 at Tim Hortons on Gorge road and it lasted almost to the causeway, where it switched in front of the Empress to 3G. Unfortunately I can only get 3G at home in James Bay, so hopefully they will extend it, since it’s not even officially out in Victoria.

… I love LTE

I rarely have full reception bars… Anyone else having this issue??
When I’m on LTE I rarely get more than 2 bars on Rogers and yet the Download & Upload are in the D30 / U20 area? Very strange….
I just talk to the teck service at bell and he said that is a canada wide problem.The problem with the lte network regarding internet speed and antenas bars are not normal and they working to fix that in the next couple days.He said that the problem is beetween the new iphone 5 and the bell lte network.I hope it will be fix soon because its not what i expect with the lte !
1st is Rogers in the Beaches Toronto on a weekend. 2nd is Yonge and Bloor at 2PM on a weekday (lots of people out and about). Impressive.

Wow lucky you! In my building we hardly get 3G, I’m normally on E (Edge) it’s brutal….
I would love to share, but LTE hasn’t hit Edmonton on Rogers yet, unfortunately… Supposed to be October 1st, but I guess we shall see!
