Firstly, substantial increases in peak LTE speeds do not equate to similar increases in network capacity. LTE maximises the data rate available to end users that experience excellent radio conditions (for example close to a base station). However, mobile users that experience poor signal conditions will continue to achieve relatively poor data rates. Hence, it is only a lucky few within a base station coverage area that will experience data rates approaching the peak rates possible. It is true that these users will increase the average throughput delivered by the base station, but by nowhere near the magnitude suggested by the peak data rates.

Secondly, the highest LTE speeds are only achieved through the use of large spectrum allocations – ideally 2x20MHz – which is four times the 2x5MHz spectrum used by W-CDMA and HSPA.
