I was just saying if you could max out that bandwidth.</p> <p>Also, video streaming apps often push through higher content when you have a faster connection. I chewed through 2GB of data in an hour streaming basketball with the NCAA app over LTE. I disable LTE and used HSPA+ and only went through about 400MB the next hour.
