no AT&Ts LTE is 3-5 times faster.

AT&T's HSPA+ network is faster than Sprint's WiMax network.
Hell, T-Mobile's HSPA+ network smokes them both.

AT&T's LTE network is supposed to be faster than Verizon's but it hasn't been put through any real world paces yet.

But the report claims sprint get's 4-5 Mbps download rates. This is pathetic.
I'm on AT&T's HSPA (not +) network here in Phoenix and I get 4 Mbps download rates.
Much faster when I go downtown and hop on their HSPA+ network.

I don't think that's true. From my understanding they are using the same technology and equipment from the same sources, so differences would only be in implementation. That's why in Houston AT&T has great LTE speeds because they have 20Mhz band whereas in Chicago it is much slower because they only have 10Mhz band.

Haha good one. You had me going for a second until I remembered WiMax.

LTE > HSPA+ > WiMAX > HSPA > EV-DO
