Huh? That option is nowhere to be found in Any Cut.
EDIT: Network Signal Info is showing the LTE network as being MetroPCS. I am also in Sacramento.

It would depend on area which towers you would get. Metro ppiggybacks off verizon towers where they dont have em for 3g and 4g/lte.
basically when you see that your are roaming or in a partner coverage area.

So that would mean that we can flash a Verizon LTE handset to Metro and still have working LTE?

Are your speeds the same as ours? Just curious if it would run faster at all through their towers instead of Metro.

My impression(Through my guys at a Metro store in Metro Detroit) is that any phone now can be flashed over to MetroPCS

Nope, you cannot flash GSM phones over. And if you flash an LTE phone the LTE may not work since each carrier uses a different band for LTE. The only way it would work is if you can change the LTE band on the phone. This is just like how an AT&T iPhone that is unlocked will not get 3G on T-Mobile.
