At this point, LTE is nothing more than just a gimmick pushed more as a marketing tool rather than anything useful.

I put LTE in the same vein as "Retina" display gimmick created by Apple. I have an iPad 3 (I had 2 previously) and simply the difference between a 1500p to a 1080p is impossible to notice for human eyes in a screen as small as 9.7 inch, yet the majority buy into the gimmick.

In USA, both Verizon and AT&T have a quota of 5GB for $50 with LTE plans, which is unbelievably ridiculous considering the high speed of LTE, you could finish your bandwidth in matter of minutes.

If we're supposed to use LTE only for browsing and video, well, 3G has absolutely no issue with either of those, as I currently have uMobile's 3G and it does the job perfectly in those regards, so exactly, why would I need to change to LTE if the only thing I gain is worse battery life?
