Brian Klug, Senior Smartphone Editor for AnandTech, just tweeted out a warning regarding the 4.2.2 update:

"So if you care about LTE Band 4 working on your Nexus 4, hold off on 4.2.2 OTA. It?s gone as far as I can tell." (source)

I figured I'd post this in here just so everyone can see it before it's (possibly) too late.

Edit:
Here's a proper article to explain it all: AnandTech - Nexus 4 JDQ39 4.2.2 OTA Update Removes Unofficial LTE on Band 4

Edit2:
You can restore LTE functionality in Android 4.2.2 by flashing one of the older radios.

What yeah right? Google and LG were obligated by law to remove the capability, or have the device recertified. People should be shocked it lasted this long. (Brian Klug was, if you read his twitter)

Welp, it's not an FCC certified LTE device... Not shocking. Can't say I was interested in LTE limited to solely band 4 anyways. I suppose the folk up north (read: Canadians) may be less than thrilled, though.
