The real issue is coverage, not highest-available speed. It doesn't matter if Verizon puts up a tower that lets you download 10GB per second if you live in an area that Verizon doesn't care about servicing.

It doesn't matter if Verizon lets you download 10G a second if the average 10G/month data plan costs hundreds
