So, like many of you, I got my S7 Edge yesterday afternoon from the pre-order. I previously had a LG V10, and I could regularly get better than 100mbps down with the speedtest.net app, on my home tower (as well as many other towers). I saw 135x40 several times on that phone (Band 4 tower, obviously). Since getting the S7 Edge, I haven't been able to break about 40mbps down. It seems like it's less than half the download speed of the V10, in every scenario. I did a *#0011#, and although it is connected to Band 4 on a 20MHz channel, the carrier aggregation almost always says "not config". I did see it aggregate with Band 12 5MHz channel once, but it didn't seem to help the speed test much. Are the carrier aggregation capabilities of this phone less than the V10? I can't figure out why the speed tests would be so much worse. I would think that everything would be the same or better than the V10... Is it possible that moving my SIM from the V10 to the S7E (instead of using a new SIM) could've caused this?
Obviously I'm not doing anything that requires more than 20mbps of throughput, so this isn't really a deal breaker. However, it is disappointing and a bit concerning.
