You are correct I am not getting LTE speeds yet, I generally hover around 1.5-2.0mbps which is a LOT better then I had been getting for the past year. It is nice to actually be back up to the speeds I was getting a while back before something happened and killed my data. My other phone has WiMax and there is two towers in the Coachella Valley that I hit, one being in La Quinta by Costco and the other one in Cathedral City right around the Food 4 Less shopping center. My WiMax data hits around 7-8mbps which is awesome, but it is really limited in the areas I can use it and maintain the signal.
