Try it on T-Mobile DC-HSPA+. You’ll get double-digit bandwidth.
I just read Anandtech’s Nexus 4 review, and they have a very rigorous treatment of the LTE situation. Google would have to offer a separate model with separate internals requiring separate FCC certification for every LTE carrier in the world.
If you want AT&T LTE on unlocked devices like the Nexus series, then let AT&T know that their HSPA implementation sucks and they need to either implement DC-HSPA+ (again, like every other UMTS provider in the world) or create an actual interoperable LTE spec with Verizon and Sprint and the European and Asian carriers.
LTE is not really a standard the way GSM and HSPA are. It’s more an umbrella term for a huge number of radio technologies that are largely incompatible.
