I'm going to let you in on a secret here. Whether your down speed is 10 mbps or 30 mbps, won't make a difference just surfing the web, streaming you tube, and the like. Why? cause those speeds are mainly faster than what your ISP gives you in internet speed. You will though, see a difference if your downloading a GB's worth of data to your phone such as a movie...then the extra speed is nominal. Otherwise it's moot.
Gator352,
Humbly disagree,
With T-mobile HSPA + I average about 12MB down. With LTE I Ave 30MB down.
I notice loading time on Netflix is noticeably faster on LTE. Also, about 3-5 seconds after selecting a movie? The whole movie loads up.you can actually slide the movie time cursor all the way to the end of the movie and let it go and the movie will play with about a half second of buffer. Almost instant. With HSPA +
There will be a buffer of about 5-10
Seconds.
LTE is always almost instant.
However, having HSPA + as a back
Up when LTE drops out is a great option to have
