Touch have released 4G on mobile phones. I have a 4G capable phone so I headed down and got a compatible sim card. I tethered my LTE connection to my laptop and ran a speed test, you can see it below.

Almost 2.5MBs per second you can effectively consume your alotted quota for the 19 dollar plan in less than 4 minutes.
I have the I9505 and can access 4G if I wanted to but I just don't need it. If I needed the speed, I'd use it to watch videos. If I was watching videos, I'd be paying hundreds of dollars for the very cheap bandwidth from our very fair and caring mobile network operators. 3G does just fine with everything else I use it for.

I agree with the users who said the effort put into 4G should have gone into improving our DSL. I don't even have DSL. I have the "internet guy."

Hello!
I don't understand the new device + data plans deals https://www.alfa.com.lb/LTEDevices/About.aspx
So to get 10% (1$) on a 150mb 4G plan I have to:
-Buy the phone from them
-Buy the 1.5GB plan
:/
????
At 30$ per month you have the phone + unlimited 4G in France,here you have the device for 650$ (HTC One) + 100$ per month,they really think we don't see what's happening in real and normal countries?
Is the minster still on twitter? We should make a petition or something they give us 500MB 4g plans? Are they serious? We should petition for a 10 dollar 1g 4g plan at the very least.

@vegetaleb Actually the 4G is limited, but it's 20 GB so...
I think we should petition for unlimited ADSL.
Unlimited ADSL is working after 11pm though we are many years behind Europe and US in terms of speed.
The advantage of unlimited 3G/4G is the use of GPS maps in cars

4G/LTE is now supported on All iphone 5s models, 5c and model limited on 5. However the only reason to make it work is to upgrade your IOS to 7.1 which the apple agreement states with ALFA telecom, and this is set LTE per profile version on iPhones.

[updates]However I got it working on 7.0.4 retaining JB. Peace!
can you share with us how you did this ?

Hello guys I was wondering what settings does one need to enter in LTE cellular settings under iOS. An iPhone more precisely.
And oh do I really need to get a new SIM card?
Thanks!

Let's start a petition for upgrading the 500mb per 10$ plan to 1.5gb
Apps like facebook use 3x more data now than it was last year

I've been downloading 60gb over 4g.
Peak speed was about 13mbps (at night, in fact around dawn)
during the day it varied between 4~8mbps.
Not that bad right?
@ballad It seems "plans" are a BIG Lie.
I got an sms that I've reached the limit of 60GB whilte at 56GB..
"4gb men hon, 4gb men honik.." I bet they're ripping from all the bundle as well..
No wonder they are making millions.
One of their tricks is assigning 60000MB instead of 60GB which is around 58.6GB.
What a blast..
I wish i got 58.6 at least :/

Wooo 20mbps over 4g with a 1.5GB data cap for 19$. Sounds awesome, I bet i'll enjoy my 4 minutes of 4G...
