Too bad they weren't expanding like this 12 months ago, but at least now they are a solid competitor to Verizon.

Coverage around here is pretty good, but I still get some 4G rather than LTE. But no complaints.

Actually, they were. Maybe not where it matters to you but it's a big country. The conversion to LTE has been going in stages where the backhaul was upgraded first. Then HSPA+ was installed to give customers faster service and provide a strong fallback system when LTE drops or isn't available. LTE started going live shortly after the first backhaul upgrades were done a couple of years ago.
