Good to hear. My mi max 2 should arrive on wednesday and since I'm on att I can test it out as well. I'm hoping I have similar luck.

Also, could you tell us what city you were able to get 4G in?

I don't have the Mi Max 2, but the Zenfone 3 Ultra which has similar bands. I lack all the LTE Bands except for Band 5. I can confirm that in all major cities I have been to I get LTE through band 5. Heck, even in my city which is only about 300,000 strong I get 4G/LTE in half of it. Seems like AT&T is really ramping up their band 5 LTE service.

Thanks for sharing the info. I looked up your phone and if you have the global version it appears you have more LTE bands available than the Mi Max 2. Namely bands 2,4 and 17. While ATT does provide LTE for band 5 I won't get my hopes too much for LTE. As long as I can get strong HSPA+ that's enough for my needs

I think you were looking up the specs of the Zenfone 3 Deluxe, not the Ultra. There is no version of the Ultra that has bands 2,4, and 17. Trust me I'd buy it if they did.

Looks like you're right. I should've checked the asus site instead of the 3rd party sites below. Lesson learned

At any rate, got the phone today so I should be able to test tonight!

Finally got some time to set it up. I can confirm 4G (HSPA+) in South Jersey. Hopefully, I can go to philly this weekend to test for LTE connectivity.

Does it say 4G or H+ as the indicator? If it says 4G then you are getting LTE already. The international phones say 4G and the american phones say LTE.
For me, it says H+. However, I haven't had a chance to go to the city yet. I would say though that my nexus 6p gets LTE in the primary area I use it in but when I switch the sim card into the mi max 2 it only gets H+ in this area.

right now i am travelling on I -94 Wisconsin- Minnesota- North Dakota, and most of the time my indicator tells me 4g....

Sorry to bump an old thread but I was in Texas last week and I picked up 4G in San Antonio.

Also back in Illinois I am picking up 4G here. This started after the last phone update.
