I thought you said that only Cat6-8 were LTE-A? The Snapdragon 800 is only CAT-4, so is there more to it than that?

This is true, but how much bandwidth is there to go around, really? DC-HSDPA+ is meant to be 42Mbit but I rarely ever see it break double digits. Not only are you dealing with the perils of a wireless technology, you're also competing with sometimes hundreds of other people. I would like to know how much capacity the various spectrum blocks can truly have.
