"Update: AT&T is currently using 10x10 spectrum in all 4G LTE markets except Athens, Ga., Chapel Hill, N.C., Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, Raleigh, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, where they're using 5x5, according to an AT&T spokesman."Reply
This is legit 4G LTE? Not just "enhanced backhaul"? Should I see any difference on my iPhone 4 (non -S)? Just ran speedtest in San Fran and got 3.14 Mbps/0.94 Mbps.Reply
Your iPhone doesn't have LTE; so unless your 3g is congested and enough people with ATT LTE devices are in your area that their switching makes a significant decrease in 3g traffic you'll see no benefit.Reply

Iphone4 doesn't do LTE ReplySouka - Sunday, January 08, 2012 - link
and neither does the 4sFunny....I know of at least two people who upgraded their "old" iPhone 4 with a 4s because they think it's an LTE device.
