A few LTE facts

While LTE offers theoretical maximum speeds of up to 150 Mbps, the global average that users experience is less than 10 Mbps. The ten largest US cities all get less than 10Mbps in average download speeds. One report puts the average download speeds of the following US LTE networks as follows: T-Mobile: 11.2 Mbps, AT&T: 8.9 Mbps and Verizon: 7.6 Mbps. So, if your LTE network delivers an average of 5 to 7 Mbps, you are doing good actually.

With those speeds, streaming media and downloading all but the heaviest files is a breeze.
