IPad Mini 3 LTE Upload Speeds Slower than iPad Mini Gen 1

I have both an iPad Mini Gen 1 (non-retina) and a new iPad Mini 3.  Both units are WiFi + Cellular and are on Verizon Wireless.  The iPad Mini Gen 1 indicates full signal strength when on LTE, 5 dots.  The iPad Mini 3 indicates only 2 or 3 dots.  The difference in the number of dots, or bars, could simply be a difference in the method used to calibrate signal strength.   My first impression though was that the new Mini 3 did not have as sensitive a receiver as the Gen 1 Mini, so I decided to do some bandwidth tests.
Both units indicated a ping time averaging 40 milliseconds.  The download speeds were comparable, approximately 23 Mbps.  The upload speed for the iPad Gen 1 was approximately 20Gbps whereas the new Mini 3 was much slower, only 5Gbps.  Both my phones are also on Verizon and they gave me speed numbers like the Gen 1 mini.
So why would the new Mini 3 be so much slower when uploading, and why would the signal strength be so much weaker?  I must add that the Verizon tower I connect through is line-of-sight about 1/4 mile away on the hill behind my house.  I should have full signal strength on any device.
Getting technical here, all I can think of is that the two iPads are operating on different LTE frequency bands and not connecting through the same tower.  The iPad Mini Gen 1 can only operate on Verizon's 700MHz LTE which is band 13.  The new iPad Mini 3 can operate on either LTE band 13 or the new 1700MHz band 4.  The new 1700MHz band is now being used to alleviate congestion on the old 700MHz band.  Perhaps since my device is one of the few that can operate on the new 1700 MHz frequencies, Verizon is forcing my device to use that band?  Maybe that could account for the upload speed difference between the two devices?

I find it interesting to hear that  the new Mini 3 has this issue. I purchased two iPhone 6 pluses and activated them both around the 1st of October.. Both 6's are upgrades from 5's. I have been going round and round with both Verizon TSS and AppleCare Senior Tech Support about having 100's of dropped calls, weaker signal strength than my iphone 5's and the iphone 6's tendency to grab 3G service when both iPhone 5's  have solid LTE service. Apple engineers have had me jump through many redundant hoops including multiple restores, network resets, setting the phone up as new, having Verizon reprovision the line, I have even had one iPhone 6 replaced and tried three SIM cards. Things I have figured out on my own are that toggling Airplane Mode on/off usually makes the iPhone 6 switch back to LTE (But only for a little while. And doing this also temporily increases LTE signal strength when LTE is on 1 dot.) and as you suspect about your Mini 3 I have confirmed that the iPhone 6 Plus is almost always on Band 4 (XLTE Band) (The iPhone 6 does sometimes switch to Band 13. The iPhone 5 only supports Band 13 and therefore is always on that band).  Something to note about Band 4 vs. Band 13 is that there are two important differences in these bands. Band 4 has double the bandwidth of band 13 (20Mhz vs. 10MHz). Band 4 operates in the 1700 MHz frequency range and Band 13 operates in the 700 Mhz frequency range. One pitfall of Band 4 being in the 1700Mhz range is that the signal can travel less distance than Band 13 can in the lower 700 MHz range. Being that Band 4 has less reach it leads me to conclude that is the reason why I am seeing less signal strength on the iPhone 6 Plus (And you on the Mini 3).
**The way I finally figured out how to determine the band the iPhone's are using I found searching the web for peole experiencing my issues. Verizon could not tell me what band I was using, even when I was on the phone with them. On the iPhone there is a sequence of numbers, pound signs and asterisks that you enter in the dialer and press send. This brings up a field test that tells you many things about your network/carrier service (Many things which are Greek to me, as I am not a cellular engineer). Using this field test I have driven hundreds of miles watching what band I am on and my signal strength ( In what I assume is decibels). All that I have learned has yet to assist me in having Apple or Verizon resolve my issues.

  • Why are Tiger Connection Speeds Slower than Jaguar and PCs?

    There is no doubt in my mind that Tiger (10.4.5 and 10.4.6 in my experience) connects to the Internet at speeds which are 20-25% slower than the speeds attained in Jaguar (I have no personal experience with Panther) and by PCs.
    I have tested speeds at testmy.net and speakeasy.net on my Mac Mini running 10.4.6 (and before that 10.4.5), my iBook running 10.2.8, and my Dell Dimension 8250 running Windows XP. The iBook and Dell consistently measure 3400-3550 Kbps on a wireless connection to a LinkSys router and cable modem, whereas the Mini measures 2600-2900 Kbps (and sometimes much slower.) All three computers are next to one another, connecting to the same router and cable modem.
    These results are very consistent over dozens of trials over a long period of time. They are not an aberration.
    Any explanations or fixes? I have turned off IPv6, manually entered DNS servers in TCP/IP, tweaked settings with RMAC and Cocktail, but none of it has made a lasting difference. Interestingly, I have on a very few occasions found a speedup to PC and Jaguar levels on the first speed test only, after some of the listed adjustments.

  • Why is my second computer's (wireless) internet speed slower than my 'base' computer's (non-wireless)?

    My son has a Macbook that  he uses in another room of our house. The router is at my desk, and is wired to my desktop MacMini. Why should his internet speed be slower than mine? Is there a remedy such as switching providers or routers?

    According to the manual for the router you said you have, the maximum supported speed is 22 Mbps for 802.11b and 54Mbps for 802.11b/g - since that MacBook supports 802.11a/b/g/n, 54Mbps is the best case scenario if it's negotiating an "g" connection or 22Mbps if it gets a "b" type connection. So what is your internet connection speed? And that 22/54Mbps is best case - depends on how many wall and other obstructions it goes thru by the time it gets to his MacBook.
    If he holds down the Option key and clicks on the WiFi icon in the title bar he should see what type of connection his MacBook has negotiated with the router. For example here is what mine shows (the connection type is listed as a 802.11/g, 2.4GHz, 54Mbps, channel 11, 20 MHz, etc):
    Another thing to try and make a quick measure of the speed between his MacBook and the local router and your Mini is copy a big file from your computer to his. That will give you a good idea of the speed of his wireless connection to the router.
    Good luck...

  • What is the reason behind upload speeds lower than...

    Would anyone be able to explain it? 

    Hi Jamesey162,
    There is no reason as such. Different providers have different packages. It just depends on what package your on.
    E.g, Infinity option 2 gives 20mb upload speed but infinity option 1 only gives up to 9.5mb upload speed.
    It basically varies with providers.
    Hope this helps,
    Dominic.

    MY BT Exchange:

    According to Google maps I am 2.8 miles away but not sure on the distance when the crows flies.

    Additional Information:
    Your DSL Connection Rate :1920 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP Profile for your line is - 1500 Kbps
    So after having Plusnet for a few years and bad teething problems for most of it I decided to move to BT and have the unlimited package with the home hub 3. Plusnet provided me with speeds between 1.8Mbps - 1.9Mbps using their Thompson Router, on a D-link Router the speeds were the same. 
    I know that BT owns Plusnet but I thought why not cut out the middle man and go straight to the main supplier, considering others in my street have speeds of 2.3Mbps and over with the likes of Sky, Talk Talk and Supanet, it seemed like a no brainer to go with BT.
    My IP Profile with BT is a max 1.5Mbps and the fastest I can have is 1.44Mbps which seems strange considering I had more with plusnet? I complained to BT, the recommended way was to chat online via their chat app which to me seemed a better option. So after my first online chat I was advised that my speed was very low but to wait for 10 days for the line to stabilize from install.
    12 days later the speed hits 0.8Mbps which more than warranted my second online chat. They advised me to run the usual checks, the only thing different from my setup was the change in router switching the Plusnet out for the BT Home Hub 3. So we checked everything, Filters, Ethernet Cables, Master Socket and so on....done this so many times with Plusnet and past providers but thought it best to do it all again for the sake of the BT Customer Support.
    They decide that it's a network fault and the Noise Margin was to high, a few tweaks on their end and my speed should increase in a day or two. The next day my speed was 2.1Mbps and hooray I could now play Xbox 360 online whilst others used the computers, something I could not do without lag when the speed was 0.8 and 1.4Mbps. 
    The very next day it was back down to 1.44Mbps and for the third time I had another online chat with BT. They suggested an engineer visit my property for which he did and changed out some internal wiring as he found some errors with my line. After he done his bits and bobs my speed decreased to 1.1Mbps, but he said he had to visit the cab outside to alter some things and then notify the exchange and my speed would increase dramatically in the next 48 hours.
    The next day the speed was 1.8Mbps slowly dropping through out the day back to 1.2Mbps and stayed like that until I contacted BT for a 4th time. They ran a few tests and my speed increased but only to 1.44Mbps and this I was told was the best they could do. They advised my not to contact them again in regards to the line speed as this was the fastest I would ever get and they could no longer raise a fault with my line.
    So here I am stuck with a measly 1.44Mbps wishing I was back with Plusnet, If I attempt to play online with any Xbox 360 game it is fine until someone in the house uses a computer, even to check their emails, the lag is terrible, my wife and kids are complaining about the internet speed, I have tweaked the computers for the fastest connection possible. Even when I don't go online with the Xbox 360, we still have slow connection when two people are using the computers at the same time.
    I have the Xbox update with new dashboard and I also have the Lovefilm, 5OD, 4OD and youtube apps, works great when not using anything else, in fact love film states you can stream movies to 3 devices the same time, but this slow connection basically ties the whole of my family to use one device at a time, a shame really when we all like to do different things sometimes.

    It's been like this since install in early November, as my post states they did up my speed to just over 2mbps but it lasted one day and went back to 1.44Mbps. When the engineer came out he change some wiring for me just to be sure and said there were no errors or problems at me end, then the speed dropped to 1.2Mbps on his own device. I then complained again later that day and it went up to 1.7 ish and dropped back to my usual speed of 1.44, a speed that enables only one family member at a time to use any device, but can all use the net if we visit a basic text website with no pictures or flash.
    Our PC's and Laptops, Netbooks are all Dual Core, Windows 7 with huge drives and lots of Ram, not that this matters at this time because the engineer tested his own equipment via the master socket.
    If I read Sky news then nobody can play Xbox online or stream Lovefilm, Youtube, BBC iPlayer or use any other computer without dreadful lag and slow speed. The speed can cope fine with all over the above when only one person uses it.
    My neighbour is with Supanet and he uses his pc upstairs whilst his wife uses her laptop and their son plays online via Xbox 360 all at the same time, his speed is 2.6 at the moment and he lives next door to me?
    My other neighbour on the otherside of me has Talk Talk and they get 2.3Mbps...I mean Talk Talk gives them that speed? That truly is amazing for them but forget about BT matching any such speed, they can't even match the speeds I previously had with Plusnet and I thought they were slow

  • Airport Extreme file transfer speed slower than expected.

    I have an Airport Extreme with a 1 TB drive attached.
    I'm trying to copy a bunch of files to it with a Windows Vista computer with a D-Link wireless N dual-band adapter (connected to the 5GHZ channel, which I configured to act solely as wireless N 5 GHZ), but the transfer is only taking place at 1.3 MB/sec.
    I'd expect more in the 8-9 MB/sec range for my new router given other benchmarks I've seen. What could be going on?

  • Upload speed is extremely slow. I can't figure out why.

    My problem is my iMac uploads files slower than a modem from the 1980s.
    The download speed of my cable internet is great, no problems getting video, music, etc. But if I try and FTP or even send an email attachment larger than 35K it takes a ridiculious amount of time to do it. A 100K attachment can take several minutes. FTPing through Dreamweaver or Transmit usually results in the servers timing-out before the file is sent. The upload starts then stops, then starts, then stops (you get the idea)
    The reason I think it's my machine is my wife and I use the same network to access the internet (therefore same router and modem), and she has absolutely no problems with uploads. It also takes a very long time to copy files between our computers and I had to move our USB printer from her machine to mine because nothing would be sent when I tried to print.
    Does anybody have a suggestions? I would really appreciate any thoughts.
    Thanks so much

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    I suspect this is way beyond my expertise, but here are a few things you might not have considered:
    Have you checked both your Mac and your wife's up- and down-load speeds? The site I use is Toast, at http://performance.toast.net/
    It's worth a visit for the very cool F16 picture alone! And you can use a file of your own to test uploading. Might tell you something.
    Could it have to do with your router? I've never used one, but my son managed to get his messed-up where it was doing something similar with his 2 computers (like you, his wife's was faster . . . hmmmm.)
    Have you poked around in these forums? You'll find some similar problems, some with actual answers!
    It sounds doubtful, but have you done any upgrades, installed software, etc. lately? Have you done periodic maintenance? If not, here's a very good start:

  • IPad (and iPhone 4) upload speed on wi-fi very slow - any thoughts?

    Both my "i devices" - an iPad and iPhone 4 are very slow for upload speeds on wi-fi. For example, here are the results of using speedtest.net on my iMac 21.5", iPhone 4 and iPad just now:
    iMac: download 38.39 Mbps, upload 19.22 Mbps (so the wi-fi network itself has good upload speeds)
    iPhone 4: download 21.17 Mbps, upload 0.39 Mbps (why so slow?!)
    iPad: download 23.66 Mbps, upload 0.71 Mbps (why so slow?!)
    The wireless router is an Airport Extreme updated to the latest firmware.
    I've seen screenshots of other people's iPad and iPhone speedtest.net tests where the upload speed over wi-fi doesn't suffer compare to download like mine does, by a factor of 54!
    I've seen postings here and there by people with similar problems. Are there any solutions? Are my iPad and iPhone 4 bad? Are they incompatible with my Airport Extreme? Are there "settings" somewhere that can help with the problem?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Carolyn.
    Perhaps so. Maybe there are certain kinds of connections which are better suited for iPads and iPhones than others. But the download speed on neither device seem to have problems. It's just the upload speed.
    I did try several channels yesterday - 6 through 13 - but it didn't seem to make a difference.
    Why would trashing my Mac preference files and restarting my Mac help anything? My Mac isn't having any problems.
    Oh, by the by, on my iPhone at least I already tried resetting Network preferences. I even did a Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and re-installed my iPhone 4 from scratch. While still in a "vanilla state" before restoring from my backup, I tried testmyiphone.com via Safari and got similar results - very poor upload.
    The 3G connection also fluctuates between "so so" (1-2 Mbps down, 0.8 Mbps up) and really horrible (0.2 Mbps down and 0.05 Mbps up).
    I did just try your suggested "reset networks" on my iPad. This time I got a download of 13.26 Mbps and upload of 2.2 Mbps on the first test. On the 2nd test I got about the same download, but an upload speed of just 0.63 Mbps.
    So something's still wrong.

  • Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

    Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

    Are you on band 13 or band 4?  13 is the original LTE band and remains relatively congested. Band 4 is the XLTE band and is less congested and has higher overall potential bandwidth (15 MHz vs 10 MHz). Even so, 7 Mbps is more than enough for doing stuff on your phone and is not considered slow. 
    To check band,
    dial *3001#12345#*
    select serving cell info
    frequency band will say 13 or 4
    FInd an area with band 4 and retest.

    Select each of the items shown in RED in Activity Monitor. Click on the Quit icon in AM's toolbar then click on the Force Quit button. You only need to do this if you are unable to quit the programs in the normal way - Make the program the frontmost application, then press COMMAND-Q.
    You also have two items in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder. They should not be there. You can remove them. HP should have updated software that replaces the older driver. I'm not sure about the TiVo item, but it should not be installed in that location.
    You should check the Classroom Enrichment application for compatibility with Yosemite: See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    As for your backup needs I would suggest this:
    Repartition the Seagate backup drive. This removes all the Seagate software. If you want more control over your backups than provided by Time Machine see the following options:
    Suggested Backup Software
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Others may be found at MacUpdate.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. You can download free trial versions of all six so you can try them out and decide on the one you prefer before paying for it. I am a big fan of Carbon Copy Cloner, but that does not mean it's your best choice.
    Now given all the above consider that you can always use Time Machine. But until you get your computer straightened out I would refrain from making a backup. There's no point in restoring a malfunctioning backup made of a malfunctioning computer.

  • IPad Air wifi sync a lot slower than iPhone 5s?

    I just got my new iPhone 5s yesterday and found out that its wifi syncing to itunes is a lot faster than the iPad Air I bought a few days ago. Actually iPad Air wifi syncing is so much slower than iPhone 5s, almost half speed, just as slow as wifi syncing with my iPhone 4, is this normal?
    I've tested another iPad Air of my friend, and found out that his new iPad is as slow as mine. Anyone know WHY? Is there anything / settings we're missing?
    I have the latest AirPort Extreme as wifi router.

    It's not much help but here is another thread with similar problems.

  • Fast download but (very) slow upload speed

    I know that typically upload speeds are slower than download from most ISP in the US, but I have been doing tests the past few weeks on 3 different Mac's (and iPhone/iPad) and while my download speed is good (between 20 and 30 mbps, my upload speed never really gets past 1mpbs (.95 is about average).
    Are there any settings on my Airport Express settings that I can change or look at?  I'm running the latest Lion on two  pretty new machines and Snow Leopard on an older iMac that we have, all with very simiar results.
    Thanks.

    One area to try is to change the default (Automatic) setting for the Ethernet WAN Port in the AirPort Utility.
    I would suggest trying 1000 Mbps/Full Duplex, and then, 100 Mbps/Full Duplex to see which gives you better results.

  • Macbook pro: Extremely slow upload speed

    Hi,
    I know this question has beed raised many times before me, seemingly from hundreds or thousands of users, but none of the threads I have found has lead to any solution.
    My new Macbook Pro (15 inch), using Lion 10.7.3, is simply unable to obtain anything but an extremely slow upload speed, when using Wifi. I am using an Apple Airpor Extreme wifi device. My work PC, my older Macbook Pro (13 inch), all tablets and telephones etc hooks up to the same Wifi device and obtain all the speed they should, but my new Macbook Pro is sloooooooooooowwwww and sometimes cannot even initiated an uload speedtest at i.a. www.speedtest.net.
    As mentioned, I am aware that there are plenty of threads on this, but I am not aware of any that provides a solution.
    Is there a solution or is my new Macbook nothing but crAplle?
    Best regards,
    n

    I get that (10/2 Mbps) on all other devices, other than my new Macbook Pro.
