Why does my iPhone 5 not get 4g?

My iPhone 5 that is on Verizon doesn't get 4g. I only get LTE or 3G. Any help would be great, thanks

LTE is what you need

LTE is 4G

LTE is 4G.

LTE is not 4G. Internet speeds are as follow for the iPhone 5:
(slowest to fastest)

- GPRS
- 4G
- Wi-Fi
- LTE

4G replaces 3G as the cellular internet source when LTE is not available. If you have LTE, it means you have the fastest speed and 4G is not needed in your location.
