Nexus 4 shown working on Canadian LTE through simple carrier menu code (video)

Want LTE on your new Nexus 4? Well, you might have to move country. Unless it's some elaborate post-Thanksgiving hoax from our Canadian neighbors, several Telus customers have demonstrated that the LTE chip hiding inside the Nexus 4 does work, and have connected to some impressive 4G data speeds. This is all done through the carrier menu, accessed by dialing "*#*#4636#*".

Tapping on the preferred network type option, you can select either LTE on its own, or a mix of LTE, GSM and CDMA. According to the videos, the Google phone then taps into the LTE network available, and you're good to go. We've so far been unable to replicate it in the UK, which doesn't use the same Band 4 LTE (1700MHz and 2100MHz) of Canadian carriers Bell and Telus, but two working videos are already doing the rounds. We've included them both below.
