You'll still have HSPA+DC for a maximum speed of 48Mbps.

Yeah, it's advertised on apples iPad site.

Excerpt:


"4G LTE is supported only on AT&T and Verizon networks in the U.S. and on Bell, Rogers, and Telus networks in Canada. Data plans sold separately. See your carrier for details."


I'm not sure why apple didn't include other LTE bands.....not sure if it was a cost thing or technical issue.

Which is pretty much considered 3.5G here. So yes, we have 3.5G here, but it ain't 4G like we've been waiting for.

@OP Yes you're right, and there is numerous threads talking about it.
