Does LTE have a better connection inside buildings and such? Because my unlocked iphone on tmobile just started using 3G the other day, and its super fast... like instant and as fast as wifi. What would even be the point of LTE?

LTE isn't that big of a deal if you're using GSM, but for CDMA, it's the next thing up. CDMA is already very slow, and the technology is at its end. In other words, CDMA technology cannot be improved anymore to offer the service that GSM providers are offering on their HSPA+ Networks, let alone HSPA.
CDMA = Sprint, Verizon
To put it in perspective, T-Mobile's HSPA+ network probably gets 6-10 Mb/s. I haven't seen Verizon got past 0.55-1 Mb/s. And don't even ask me about Sprint...
On Verizon 3G, if you go to download a song or install an app, it could take several minutes. On Verizon LTE, the same things now often take 10 seconds.Does LTE have a better connection inside buildings and such?

Hmm, I don't know of any big carriers in the US that charge extra for LTE (or charge less for 3G).What good is LTE speed when your phone bill is $100 per month and all you get is a 2GB data limit.
3G speeds aren't fast everywhere.The thread-starter is absolutely right. There's no need for LTE speeds when 3G speeds of a mere 3mbps is already enough to do everything so quickly on a mobile phone.

The only useful use of LTE is for the personal hotspot feature to connect to a com/laptop for an insanely fast internet connection.

The point that is being missed entirely is that LTE adds capacity and forces carriers to add backhaul. More people can be using the network without overloading the network.
Because LTE is newer and better technology. I bet once T-Mobile gets LTE you aren't going to be asking what's the point of LTE.
LTE's faster than my home internet! Just wish I didn't have a data cap
Me too, if it wasn't capped I would get rid of my home broadband and tether.LTE's faster than my home internet! Just wish I didn't have a data cap
Once you experience a good LTE connection, everything else is just too slow.

LTE is actually faster than wifi.
Until you use it, you really don't know what your missing. Imagine streaming movies in HD INSTANTLY.
