Default Odd LTE Signals

I live in Austin and in short we do not get LTE coverage (hopefully soon). Latley I've been seeing 4G: LTE at odd hours of the day. Is anyone else getting these false positives? (If it is LTE it doesn't seem as fast as advertised)

testing the network?

theres differences in what att can offer for speeds due to spectrum, i've read all the details, but forgive me i can't remember them right now, perhaps someone else can chime in with it, but there is a reason why some att lte markets aern't very fast, and why some are very fast

Well hopefully the move from "testing" to implementing it soon.

How fast is it? I second what someone else said about it possibly being in some sort of testing. Makes sense.

Don't have pictures of the tests and currently have a phone in some sort of looping mode because I forgot not to overclock past 1.7 on Da_G...

Lol, I just recovered from my soft brick. Couldn't get to the boot animation. ADB saved the day!

I also go to UT but I currently have the LTE signal in north Austin at 51st/Cameron. I took some screen shots of the speed test. Not very good results. I was getting 2000+kb/s in Houston. Huge difference so I would also figure its maybe a test?
