I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon started rolling out LTE Advanced soon. They have money to blow for years.

Verizon's 3G speeds are like LTE when compares to Sprint's "3G."

In my area, 3G never gets over 1mbps, while i constantly get 20+ mbps on lte

Actually, Verizon 3G sucks pretty badly too- it's neck and neck with Sprint. Their LTE beats Sprint's WiMax though.

papa smurf I have both and honestly they are about the same. I do live in a network vision market and sprint 3g is usually 800k to 1400k there 4g is much faster I got a 29mbps down and 11mbps up the other day on sprint LTE 4g. My verizon phone performes almost identically on 3g it does not have 4g

FYI Currently in order to have a substainable VoLTE a carrier would need Advanced LTE to deply make it work. Also Verizon has already anounced months ago that they will deploy VoLTE with Advanced LTE this year

The roll-out wont be instant, but it should be fairly quick because the services requires upgrades to current systems rather than building it from the ground up. Also, major metro areas will be prioritized.
