Verizon turns on carrier aggregation

[dpham00]

Spotted this...looks like Verizon has finally enabled carrier aggregation

What's shown is a 20mhz band 4 aggregated with a 10mhz band 13 carrier, for a theoretical yield of 225mbps.

A fellow member posted this a few days ago. A single 20mhz band 4 carrier is only capable of 150mbps theoretically,so this is definitely carrier aggregation.

Depends what you do -- Tasks still take the same amount of data.

Not a problem on over half a dozen or lines which have unlimited data...

And speed is only one aspect, but the easiest one to see.

Does anyone know how to get to this screen to see what band I am using?

If a rooted Samsung device, *#0011#


You can also use lte discovery or signal check pro to see the band

Faster speeds, more stability.

Would this affect voice at all? I work in a basement and have had stellar reception up until a couple weeks ago. Now I have to go upstairs/to a window to talk. But my data is fine in the basement?
