Default Should I9305 say "4G" or "LTE" in bar on top speed?

Just a general question, will the I9305 say "LTE" or just "4G" in the top bar when maximum reception is reached? I have stock rom TGY. I live in Toronto and have only seen "4G" display on mine with Fido... but I have seen the domestic versions of friends display "LTE" with same service and location as me? Is it because international standard name is "4G" not "LTE" like in Hong Kong?

I believe that it depends on your modem, I have had LTE before but also 4G but I never really thought about it that much

I believe that depends on your service provider. This varies depending from what kind of '4G' or LTE signal your provider is offering. The best thing you can do is to test the speed of your connection if you are really getting above the 3G speed. Download speedtest from Playstore and see.

I believe I have had both 4G and LTE at different times, same provider so I think it is just ROM or modem specific. Unless the tower configurations can be a variable
