It is! Popping up more and more in Dallas. Around Thanksgiving, that entire shopping area did not have CA. Speed tests would hit around 40+ Mbps on either band 2 or band 17.

In Charlotte, NC.
When I had Verizon last year I could barely even hold an LTE signal inside my apartment and often found myself bouncing around from 3G to 1X. Peak speeds with LTE were usually around 25mbps. This is probably the result of their AWS upgrades (XLTE).
LTE test inside the Macy's at Volusia Mall in Daytona Beach, FL. My 6+ alternates between 1-2 bars of LTE but mostly 2-3 of HSPA (which gets close to 8Mbps down).
You should be getting close to double that at times, as many parts of NYC have the ability for people to get 100Mbps+, and I've seen many people post speed tests with those results. I was in Times Square 2 weekends ago and got 20Mbps down.
I see like 30Mbps down at times highest I've gotten was like 40Mbps. I've seen others on here get 100Mbps or even more with Verizon.
AT&T continues to struggle in crowded areas where they only have 10x10 on band 17. This was in St. Augustine, FL yesterday (yes, it's a Note 4, but...). My 6+ on T-Mobile was pulling much faster speeds.
West Miami-Dade, Florida. I'm very pleased to see these results as I could rarely break 10mbps a few months ago. AT&T has definitely done some upgrading around here.
Also a couple weeks ago I did a comparison test between the iPhone 5 and 6 in the same location. Got 30-ish megabits on the 6 vs about 3 or 4mbps on the 5. The 6's improved radio really shows!

Incorrect. They enabled it a few months ago.
It's pretty slick because all of the LTE AT&T iPhones support every band they need now. 2/4/17/5
Where did you find that page? I pulled mine from Apple's iPhone 5 tech specs page: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP655

Google iphone 5 LTE bands, go to the apple link, and scroll down to the AT&T variant.

Ah, that's good to know. That makes it very much relevant for T-Mobile as well thanks to band 2 LTE support.
Really? I figured any newer A1428 would just support all of the newer band additions.
I'm seeing 40mbps speeds and more bars on the FIU University Park campus than I used to in the same location.
I think AT&T is upgrading their network in the area. It's about time all that money we're paying for our plans is put to good use.
