Is there a way to see the data connection speed (G/E/3G/H/H+/4G) in lollipop

After I upgraded my nexus 5 to android 5.0 I have the very nice material design notification icons, but unfortunatelly they "lost" some important (well at least interesting) information about the data connections's speed. Up to android 4.4.4 there was a small letter on the icon indicating the connection technology (that pretty much correlates with the speed)

Is there a way to turn that letter indicator back on? Or is there an app for it?

There is no cellular data connection when there is an active Wi-Fi connection. So, disable Wi-Fi (or move out of range) and you should see those letters reappear.
