Hi everybody,
I have an AT&T LTE iPad. I live in Miami and in my part of town, I cannot get Verizon LTE service, and AT&T has not turned on LTE in Miami at all. I went with AT&T iPAD because HSPA+ in my area is MUCH faster (6 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up) than Verizon's 3G (1 Mbps down, >1 up)....
I have 1 day to exchange my iPad for the verizon version -- and I will be moving to Sarasota in 3 months, and will probably be working in the Tampa area.
Can anybody who lives there post your LTE data speeds with both companies? I wont be able to test it myself until after my 14 days are up! I do not care for the absurd speeds some people are getting (30 Mbps and up)... but I would like for my LTE to be at least +12 Mbps down... I have heard mixed reviews about AT&T LTE. Some people in Chicago (from another thread here) were getting slower LTE speeds than I currently get on HSPA+.
Hope I get some replies before my 14 days are up (tomorrow).. would hate to get to Sarasota only to find out that I have subpar LTE AT&T speeds. If I exchange to Verizon, I can keep my current ATT sim card and keep HSPA+ on my Verizon iPad in Miami until I move in 3 months! If you all tell me that AT&T is good in those areas, I will just keep what I have and not worry about exchanging anything.
PS: My folks live in Orlando so if anybody from that area wants to reply as well, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody!
