This will rely heavily on the network design decisions made. Where I live, the digital TV switchover happened after LTE buildout was well on it's way, so all those juicy 700 MHz bands went to LTE. I literally can't remember the last time I saw my phone on 3G here, even out in the countryside with marginal coverage/dropouts. It's been at least 4 years.
