What is the highest speed you get if you disable 4g on the US-version? Do you still get H+, only H, only #g or what?
Thanks
H+ I believe.
Thanks, would be great if someone could confirm by actually turning off 4g and see if they still get H+

why would h+ be affected by your 4g setting?
Just a rumour I read. H+ is considered LTE on the US version. Hope it's wrong.

No its not. HSPA+ is not considered LTE in any country. Some countries consider HSPA+ to be 4g, but that's not accurate. All LTE is 4g, not all 4G is LTE.

Back when the iPhone 4S first came out, AT&T made the handset show "4G" when it was using HSPA+. this confused some users into thinking the 4S was an LTE device. I wonder if OP is referring to something like that?

Possibly. This is why I mentioned that some countries inaccurately referred to HSPA+ as 4G and that although all LTE is 4G, not all 4G is LTE. I want to be clear that 4G, LTE and HSPA+ are not synonymous. they are all different things.
Essentially:
2G = GPRS and (2.5G) Edge
3G = 3G, (3.5G) HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA
4G = LTE, WiMax

AS OP my main concearn was that I would not get H+ from a US-version here in Norway (have imported, not recieved yet), and would be stuck with very low 3G-speeds. Now I have seen other in Norway reporting at least 6 mbps speeds, possibly more. I get around 12-13 on H+ with my old SGS2, and would hope Nexus 5 with LTE disabled would get me the same speeds. LTE is not very important for me.

Yes it has h+, when ever I'm in a non LTE area that's what it defaults to. Granted I'm in the USA on att and your in Norway so I'm not sure what there H bands are, look it up and reference the n5 specs to get your answer.

Yep, there are only 2 models of N5. D820 US and D821 RoW. The only difference is the LTE frequencies they can handle. H+ works on both models across the same frequencies.

You should get similar or faster H+ speeds than your galaxy s2.

Here's a comparison for you.
North America (D820) Nexus 5 model:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Outside North America (D821) Nexus 5 model:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
As you can see, all the WCDMA bands on the D821 exist on the D820, which means you will still get 3G, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA
Thanx guys!
I'm in Dominican Republic right now but my Skyrocket not receive a HSPA+ speed internet because the HSPA+ frecuencys in this country is in 900Mhz. Can i do something to change the frequencys band in my skyrocket to get HSPA+ in 900Mhz?
Thanks!!
It only gets 2g on 900mhz
