VZW Note 3 LTE-A

[W00fah]

I might be picking up a Note 3 today and I was curious if it supports Big Reds upcoming LTE-A network. If I remember correctly it's LTE Band 13. Does anyone know for sure if it is supported? I'm sure this would be good to know for others too.

Yes, it is.

Why does LTE-A matter over regular LTE? Just wondering how exactly that benefits us, the VZW customer.

Future proofing the device, until now I think the S4 was the only device that supports LTE-A.

Lte-a is just faster LTE, hence the a means advanced. Verizon hasnt turned it on yet, but luckily it shouldn't be that much longer because they dont have to modify any current towers to use it.

@Despyse Thanks for the quick reply.
@inco9into99 LTE-A is much faster and can handle more bandwidth.

I read somewhere that when they hook up the LTE-A they may charge extra for it. Could use it also to force people off unlimited too.

I personally have capped data so that wouldn't bother me, but of course that sucks hard for others. I haven't seen anywhere where it says that Verizon will do that. But I wouldn't be surprised.
