What LTE Bands does the GPE support?

[mmaestro]

Hey all. I bought a GPE One M8 a couple of months ago after my Nexus 4 took a dive and bootloops no matter what I do. Looking at Google's page, it says it supports only 2 LTE bands: 700 and AWS. Well, I just went on vacation to the UK, and bought a SIM card on Three UK. Low and behold, I got LTE in London. But Three's LTE bands are 800 and 1800: I'd expected I'd only get 3G. What's up with that? Is the Google Play page wrong and the device supports more bands?

From the AC Blog:

GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA: 850/AWS/1900/2100 with HSPA+ up to 21Mbps
LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 (B17/B5/B4/B2, carrier aggregation B4+17;B2+17), + roaming 2600/1800 (B7/B3)

Thanks. That would explain it. Weird that the Play Store specs are wrong, though.

Would this work on T Mobile in the US?

Yes, it does. That's the carrier I use mine on, in fact.
