LM1200 AT&T 4G, but not LTE, maybe

I am using the 'Broadband' APN and it connected without issue.  However, the LM1200 shows 4G.  Should it show 4G LTE?  I am only getting 20Mbps down from the modem, if I do a similar speedtest from my galaxy phone, I get about 100.  Anyone ever seen anything like this?

    4G and LTE are the same. LM1200 is generic sku, it uses 4G as RAT icon.

     

    The maximum speed of LM1200 is 150Mbps. It can't be compared with your phone that is capable of higher speed.

     

    Thanks

      Based on what you're saying, I should accept that I receive 90Mbps on phone but only 20% of that on a dedicated modem?

      If the modem is capable of 150 then it should be capable of 90?

        Not sure which Galaxy phone you are using. If you know the maximum TP the Galaxy phone can support, you may not be happy with the 100Mbps performance. Same with the LM1200. The data performance is mainly determined by the network conditions in your location.
