Why would anyone care about the band more than they care about the speed?
 
I'm confused by your explanation because your first paragraph above says
that the lower band Verizon speeds are faster than the lower band T-Mobile
speeds and then in the next sentence you say that a doubling of speed
wouldn't be noticed.

It's more likely the other way around, isn't it?

Aren't people more likely to care a lot less about the band their phone
users (which they can barely see at the top of the phone) versus the actual
speeds they get?
