Quoting from my link: > You would think that Verizon LTE is ubiquitous the way some talk about how important it is and that its speeds are absolutely crushing the competition, and you would be correct on the speeds if you counted upload speeds as equally important as download speeds. For the most part though, when people talk about speeds, they are concerned with download speeds, and that is when facts get seperated by perception quite a bit. The difference is much less perceptible for downloads, which is what most people want. More importantly, your one piece of anecdotal data is not particularly relevant when compared to the extensive data collected in a statistically significant manner by PC Mag. Edit: and like bryanlarsen said below, 3G ≠ HSPA+. HSPA+ has a maximum speed of 42 Mbps.
