Whether you want to get overly technical and explain how LTE isn’t technically 4G or simply don’t care, begging on hands and knees for something faster to come along, one thing is for certain: we all want LTE. Article after article has been written, telling of how LTE will save the planet and maybe even aid in solving world peace. But how does it actually fare in real world scenarios?

Update 2: By now, everyone should be back up. If not, well, hit up VZW customer service. Apparently the issue was relegated to the east coast, not national. Are you back up?

**Update: According to Sony’s blog DON’T use your PS3 until Sony says otherwise. Quite a bug we have here, isn’t it? **Update #2: It seems Sony has fixed the bug, it seems that users might have lost their trophies, but our friends over at Joystick have a Q&A on what to do. Anyone here happen to be playing some marginally popular PS3 game yesterday just to have the Playstation Network up and die on you? After the rage subsided, did you happen to notice...
