I love HSPA+ :)
 
My LTE isn't always this horrible, but it's nowhere near as good as I was hoping.

This is around Long Beach.

Damn AT&T doesn't have LTE anywhere in the entire state of CO--all the other major providers do.

Still better than my iPhone 3GS's HSPA 500ms latency 200Kb/s down and 50Kb/s up.
 
uploading videos etc to dropbox has been amazing on LTE. so much faster than home wifi at 2mpbs up... 15-20 mbps up is awesome.
 
If HSPA+ streams were a consistent 12mbps I would switch from unlimited vzw to unlimited at&t for $50 a month in a heartbeat, 12mbps is still faster than my home internet.
 
We get good HSPA+ speeds in Philly so I keep LTE off most of the time to conserve battery.

Is LTE faster? Yes but not signigantly faster for me to be on it all the time. HSPA+ gets the job done well.
