The "4G" is faster than their LTE. What the heck?

This is not uncommon. I've actually turned off LTE. Here in South Africa I'm getting comparable download speeds on HSPA+.
I just miss out on the faster upload speeds.
Apparently the LTE download speeds are comparable to HSPA+ due to the lack of LTE spectrum.
Exxod, where are you located? You may be in an area where AT&T only owns a 5x5 block of spectrum for LTE.
In my sector of the country, AT&T LTE is in the 40-50 Mbps range. That's because they have 10x10 spectrum here.
Also, I can change speed test servers and usually get far different ranges of speed.
They've recently rolled out LTE here -- just last year, actually.

Does anyone think that speed test will ever get updated for the iPhone 5?
