Honestly, the choice of HSPA+ over LTE is a no-brainer. The former is plenty fast and has better coverage domestically and all over the world; the latter is a smidgeon faster in limited cases and a battery hog.
LTE offers some interesting capacity benefits for providers, but is being seriously over-marketed, as your post proves.
- thoughtsimple 14y agoThe iPhone 5 gets better battery life than the iPhone 4S when using LTE vs HSPA. My iPad 3 with AT&T LTE gets 27 Mbps down and 14 Mbps up on my most recent speed test. I doubt you will get anywhere near those speeds on HSPA+. The Nexus 4 is a weird mix of premium components with last years radios.
