iPhone 5 lte signal/reception problem

I picked up my Verizon iPhone 5 today. When it's on 3G ill have full signal (5 bars) and the Internet works great. When I go into settings & change to LTE my signal will drop down to 2 bars. And this consistently happens in different cities. Why is this? Does anyone else notice this on their iphone 5? I tried resetting and turning the phone off and on and still same problem. It even goes as bad as 1 bar of reception on lte.


Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 6

At home outside of Wilmington, DE I have 4 solid LTE bars and get between 5-9 down. At work in Wilmington I have 2 bars LTE and get between 1-5 down. Poor LTE either way. For what its worth, Galaxy SIII on Att LTE screams in wilmington at about 30 down.


Also in Wilmington with the weak signal I lose LTE, go to "o" and 3G etc, etc , etc.


Anyway, finally decided to replace the HW. I will let you know. Arrives Friday.
