I am hating LTE on my ipad. I don't know what games Verizon is playing - but the same content on LTE using much larger bandwidth. I can understand a movie on netflix - you get better quality on 4g and less frame loss.

But I download an issue of National Geographic on Zinio - and it goes from 300 MB on 3g to 850 MB on LTE - not the size of the file, but the bandwidth used to download it. I send a 5MB attachment through mail and, on LTE, it sucks up 20 MB of traffic.

In short, where I usually never got to my 2GB limit on my previous iPad, I now hit the 5GB cap on LTE in 10 days, with the same behavior.

Ok, rant off. It's fast. That's true.
