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.
I get that same speed with 1 bar of LTE on Verizon. 2 bars and I'm already at double that speed. 3 bars and I'm nearing 30Mbps down. 4-5 bars and I get anywhere between 32-45Mbps. LTE what?
