4G has much better latency than HSPA+ for me. Video streaming is much smoother and breaks up less. FaceTime is much better than on HSPA+. If I see 4G in my status bar, I know my connection is going to be at least as good as coffee shop WiFi.

It contends better too, which affects everyone.

I have unlimited LTE for £15/mo (Three UK) so I don't need to worry about paying for the data.

You have unlimited until they decide you're using too much.

Not true, I've pushed over 2TB (as in, 2000GB) in one month over 3G/4G and they haven't complained.
