My iPhone 6 has really slow data download. I only get 2-3 bars MAX with LTE and even with WiFi webpages and Facebook take forever to load. Was never like this on my iPhone 5. Currently on IOS 8.02.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8

Resetting network settings on your device will erase all current saved settings, including Wi-Fi passwords, preferred networks, and VPN settings.- Restore the iPhone as new.
- Contact your carrier to:
- Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.

- Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare.
If you are traveling internationally, you may need to turn data roaming on: Tap Settings > Cellular. Check with your carrier first to understand the cost of international data roaming.
