Agreed - sorry.  Should have added that I found out his cable service was
taking SD and upscaling it and calling it HD.  In the same vein, maybe
you've just had a bad LTE experience because the carrier implementation was
crappy.  Part of the problem with 4G is the lack of a definition about what
it means from a speed standpoint.  In the US, Verizon's 4G network not only
has a lot more coverage than AT&T but functional speeds are a lot better.
 And AT&T has a lot less bandwidth to work with, so in areas with a lot
users (say San Fran) it's a much worse experience than elsewhere where the
density of users isn't as high.
