Hey, first post here but have been following this thread for awhile now..
Last night I was with my girl friend and she has the Photon 4G and it showed 4G on the Eastside of Milwaukee last night. I have the iPhone 5, and didn't show LTE so I take it the 4G she was receiving wasn't LTE.
Just thought I'd share that information, she was loading everything fast and my 3G download speeds still are terrible and unusable.
