Yeah I used to think that was a big deal, but its really not. I regularly get 15 mb/s with a ~50ms ping on tmobile hspa+, and verizon's LTE network is now oversaturated to the point that its not much faster, other than a slightly better ping. thats not worth paying the verizon tax IMO
edit: anecdote: just asked a coworker with a verizon lte phone to do a speedtest, which surprised me (esp the ping)
him: (8x on verizon)![[Image: wp_ss_20130829_0002.png]](https://imtransfer.shapeservices.net/uploads/2155137778757576118/wp_ss_20130829_0002.png)
me: (nexus 4 on tmobile)![[Image: Screenshot_2013-08-29-10-51-18.png]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IAQUI1fHPLA/Uh9gUBl5pCI/AAAAAAAAAkM/UwwRzWjhiPs/w664-h1106-no/Screenshot_2013-08-29-10-51-18.png)
