US Data Roaming ... LTE or 3G?

JackQuint — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:44:15 GMT

Was looking at the data add-ons for US roaming. I do not need voice or messaging just data. Does anyone know if these are LTE or 3g?

@JackQuint PM doesn't really mention that. You will be in AT&T or T-Mobile network.

I think both are LTE.

@JackQuint I'm pretty sure this response from @Triguy is correct: I don't think AT&T or T-Mo would bother trying to determine the person's data details from their Canadian plan and throttle accordingly.

@will13am @Luddite @NDesai @ShawnC13 @SD08 @mimmo do you guys know any different?

No idea. As I run a full speed LTE plan, I am won't be able to offer any useful information even if I did roam in the US.

I never ddi a speed test when i was in the usa always trying to minimse data usage as roaming data is precious especilaly if you are on the talk text and data plan.
