Verizon XLTE?

Sorry if this has been brought up already, but I am starting to see a few articles online about a roll out of "XLTE" in May, which is their AWS spectrum? I see the M8 and S5 devices will support it, but any idea which markets/cities will be able to access this? Just curious. Thanks!

Verizon has been rolling out LTE over AWS since late last year. And more phones than those two can use AWS spectrum. My G2 can it's right in the specs.[ Network: CDMA, GSM, LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz),]. So I'm not sure what this XLTE is about.

Yeah I've read that. But the fact remain Verizon launched LTE over AWS nearly 6 months ago. And there are many phones that can use it not just 2 that they mention. Those are the parts I'm not getting.

I have two question cell service is spotty here in castro valley. It has improved with samsung pico cell . the last samsung product I'll own BYTW.

This XLTE , i think it should been called AWS but its marketing. I have HTC one M7 but you list of devices only lists the M* not M7 as capable of using this service . How many more devices will be retrofitted or have capability built in ?

or is this another ploy where you have to buy new equipment to enjoy this offering. This seems to be more of the case of "Planned" obsolesce of devices.

This has been a plan for many years.

Here's a list of more that can be used on Xlte.
