Pop the sim in my wife's iPhone 6 and my LTE coverage is abysmal. I got one bar on the ground floor; rest of the house is 4g with barely any signal in the basement. Speedtest on 4g is about 2.5 down. So definitely band 12 that the iPhone 6s has is making a huge difference. So I would need to upgrade 4 phones to get the band 12 functionality. Tomorrow I test at work. I can live with using wifi at home; however at work I need LTE.

We have a house in the country with OTA internet from a rural provider. The quality comes and goes with the number of people on the pipe. Peak has been 10 Mbs down, slumping to 1 Mbs with lots of people on. I got one of these from T Mo, and my 6 gb ipad mini works as my backup when speeds grind to a halt.
