I was able to get "LTE" speed when i first got the phone
A week later Google sent out a firmware update, disabling the phone from gaining access to high speeds

I didn't think the phone was physically able to get LTE... unless maybe you were on that network but getting 3g speeds? I could be spewing bs since I know little about that kind of thing :p

You can still bypass the LTE capability even after the update. Just flash the 4.2.1 radio to your device http://hippowise.com/how-to-permanen...4-2-2-nexus-4/

Coles notes on this:
- Nexus 4 has similar internals to the LG Optimus G
- LG Optimus G has a 4G-capable modem
- Nexus 4's modem is the same as the Optimus G's, but the 4G was disabled by Google
- Flashing the appropriate modem firmware re-enables 4G functionality

Yeah I didn't realize till I read the link mohammyt posted, but since I don't plan on getting 4g I am not affected anyways
