They may be a "clear leader in LTE", but it's only because Verizon NEEDS this upgrade badly. Their 3G network cannot keep up with demand.
I have both AT&T (iPhone) and Verizon (iPad). On AT&T I honestly don't care if LTE pops up or not. "4G" HSPA speeds work fine for most purposes. On Verizon, if I see "3G", I know I'm in for a pitiful browsing experience unless I'm in an unpopulated area or it's the wee hours of the morning. Despite the amount of LTE that Verizon has deployed so far, I still see a lot of 3G. On the route from LA to Mammoth Lakes there were long stretches where I only had 1xRTT, where my AT&T iPhone had HSPA the whole way.
"Mid 2013" can't get here soon enough.
