A quick question about 4G/LTE

[aallen14]

I just received my iphone 5 today and couldn't help but notice that it doesnt say "AT&T LTE" but "AT&T 4G". I know this may seem pretty newbish of me to ask but am I truly connected to LTE? I've done speed test and not getting close to the number i've seen other users post on this forum site. Help is appreciated!

4G is HSPA+, a lot slower than LTE

If you are seeing that, you are NOT getting LTE. If you are, it will say AT&T LTE

if youre actually getting 4G LTE it will show up as "LTE". 4G is at&ts hspa+ which is actually 3.5G tech.
