Apparently LTE is avaiable in a pocket full of places here in Toronto as I found out today but no HSPA+ or HSPA, nor 4G display showing. It's either a quick bleep of LTE then back to 3G. What's up with that Bell? Or is it Apple to blame? Back to Rogers I go?
Update #5
I guess it was too good to be true 😟 Now 6 days since I got my replacement iPhone 5, I'm still having the same issues. I'm losing service 2-3 times per day. I've been paying more attention to when it happens, and it will occur when there is a switch from 3G to LTE. Clearly this phone has problems switching between the two. After I lose service the only way to get it back is to reboot the phone. Short term solution is to disable LTE, which will eliminate the problem. Of course, the iPhone 5 shouldnt' be advertised as an LTE phone if it doesn't work properly! This is the first time I'm very unhappy with an Apple product. I know people will say this is a network issue, and I agree that LTE coverage is spotty. But the phone should still be able to manage switching between 3G and LTE much better. Should've just stuck with my reliable iPhone 4.
Apparently many are having these same issues:

I think its not a hardware problem. Because my SGS3 also had the same problem. I lived in mississauga. When i check Telus LTE coverage i'm definitely in the coverage, but i consider myself lucky if i can catch 5% of my daily usage in LTE network.....
You do realize HSPA+ is 3G right?
I just got my iPhone 5 yesterday and noticed I was mostly on 3G on Telus. Good to see that I'm not the only one.
Got the same problem with Bell
Just got my I5 last month
In winnipeg Manitoba
False advertisement I would say
Never got LTE once only 3g in a big advertise area . It is all over the TV with this 4G network WHAT ????????
We should get some money back for this advertisement.........
Hey buddy !! finally I got LTE on iPhone 5 bell carrier ,I phone bell costmer service fix my LTE ,them give a reason is the iphone 5 from apple store the Bell no guaranty you can got LTE only iPhone from Bell,so you guys have to phone Bell ask them reset your network for 4G LTE.
My friend has an iPhone 5 on the Telus Mobility network in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (more specifically in Kanata). His iPhone actually is able to hold a LTE connection depending on the tower we're nearest (his LTE speeds are close to 40 Mbps down and around 20 Mbps up), which makes me wonder if some of the Telus towers have problems broadcasting LTE signals. When we're at the Kanata Centrum (basically the centre of Kanata) he gets almost full LTE signal from Telus (there's a tower within a kilometre of the Centrum), but in several other places in Kanata (not near Kanata Centrum) it depends on the tower. According to the Telus website all of Kanata (and the rest of Ottawa) should have LTE, but the fact that my friend gets LTE with some towers (and is able to hold a LTE connection) and not others almost makes me believe it could be a Telus tower issue.
No 4G Bell ????
