my sister has a 5C and it switches from 3G to LTE pretty quickly once a signal is picked up. funny thing is up here in cleveland the 3G speeds are also faster than they used to be at about 1.7Mbps but there is still better WiMax coverage than LTE. there is a place my mom likes to buy smokes and i was getting about 1.4Mbps down on 3G and she was getting like 10Mbps down on WiMax. i was so jelly of the speeds.
