Verizon 4G XLTE

August 9, 2014 forum topics
The wireless carriers have been pushing 4G LTE, Long Term Evolution, technology for a while now. Verizon is now promoting XLTE claiming transfer speeds twice as fast as LTE. They said it was 5 – 10 or 12 Mbps DOWN and 2Mbps UP which doesn’t sound much different than LTE’s specs when it was rolled out. They also said that their New York market was getting three times LTE speeds. Hopefully XLTE is backwards compatible with existing devices and not another forced upgrade requirement. Is anybody currently using XLTE for personal use, LIVE backpacks, PC FTP or streaming for internet liveshots? If so, is it really that much faster? Thanks
