I am in Winnipeg and I have a recently purchased, unlocked Galaxy S II LTE (aka skyrocket) and have just signed up for the $10 unlimited browsing. Expected only Edge, but my phone clearly has the 4G symbol whenever I access data, and although not as good as WIFI, it seams pretty spritely. Some previous posts indicated that we temporarily had 3g/4g access and then it was removed. Can anyone else confirm that Speakout browsing currently has 4G access?

It is probably 3G HSDPA you are actually using on the phone. Carriers and phone makers tend to be fast and loose when they define 4G.
In any case, Rogers has been known to bump Speakout users on it's 3G network, but can bump them back to 2G if it suits them. Saying that, 3G and 4G are much more efficient on the spectrum, so Rogers would rather you on that network if the capacity allows for it.

I think you need port another carrier LTE Sim card to 7-11 to use LTE on Speakout

That's not accurate. You can not port another carrier's sim card to use LTE on SpeakOut. For instance, if you have a Bell/LTE sim card in your phone/device, then you are accessing the Bell/LTE network. You can only port numbers to and from SpeakOut. Until we hear it differently on the official site, SpeakOut is a 2G provider.

I thought SIM is just an ID system. My 15+ years old SIM(when there wasn't even EDGE) still works fine on HSPA network. it is the phone that matters AFAIK. Of course, whether rogers have policy to restrict certain SIM(the ID) to use 4G is another issue.
