No lte band 30 on att with M9?

ATT has said multiple times they are rolling out their 2.3ghz (band 30) lte this year
with the first of it going live this summer. Looking on ATT's website the One M9
does not list band 30 as supported. Yet the new S6 and S6 edge do.

Why would HTC not include band 30 when they would have known
it's going live soon. I can't imagine ATT would have told Samsung but not HTC.
I know LTE in my area from ATT is on band 4 and not the usual 17. So I'm thinking
30 is going to help boost capacity here and perhaps speed.

HTC One M9 LTE bands supported: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 29
S6 bands supported: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 29, 30

Try the unlocked or Devloper Edition (which lists band 30):

A call to both AT&T & HTC is in order.
My guess is this:
The bandwidth listing on AT&T is a cut & paste job from another AT&T device.
