Verizon is probably going to only be able to do 5 MHz or 10 MHz channels at best. And nobody knows yet how much interference and other issues will keep speeds down (especially if everyone has an Apple tablet and keeps it on all the time). But to Karl's point -- it will probably also be expensive, so maybe VZN will use a high price to keep its network from being saturated.

Verizon has dedicated 700mhz licensed spectrum for LTE, they can do much more than 10mhz channels with their 700mhz which is now a free band and different from the cell and PCS bands. -- I get 29 MPG in my Toyota Highlander Hybrid!

So, How Fast Will LTE Be, Really? > It all depends on the spectrum used
