Currently on band 26 at Houston Intercontinental Airport. These speeds are much better than they have been in the past... Im talking much different speeds than last week...

By being where they are available?

Band 25 is Sprint's initial LTE band that is has been deploying since summer 2012. It is the most widespread at the moment.

 

Band 26 is low spectrum LTE that provides better in-building coverage and can help fill gaps between cell sites.

 

Band 41 is a repurposing of Clearwire's spectrum for high speed LTE. Currently, it can support speeds up to 70-80Mbps. As more carriers are deployed later this year and next, max speeds will approach 180Mbps. (New devices will be required to achieve those speeds).

What is the significance of which LTE band we are on? Found out today I'm on band 25. Heard something about this earlier.

No, but I recommend Lux for autobright duty (it is LOADS better than any OEM's autobright functionality) and you can have that be in your notification drop down but I use the widget on my G2 and it works great. I'll upload a couple screens of both so you can see it.
