iPad2's Bell SIM card in iPad3?

Hi guys,
Forgive the ignorance here.
I have a 3G iPad 2 and have installed Bell's micro-sim card (also have a Roger's microsim but the connection here in Montreal was horrible).
Do you think the same card can be used in the new iPad3 and get 4G speed?
Thanks

Should work fine. Not sure if you'll get LTE speeds though - they may require separate plans/SIMs for that. I know some older Rogers SIMs aren't LTE compatible.

Thanks John. While ever so tempted to click on that "Pre-Order" button, think I'll wait to read the experience folks are having with Bell.
Cheers.

It will work, and if you don't get LTE with that SIM, Bell should give you a new SIM for free.

I wouldn't wait if you are getting lots of bars now with Bell.

Both Telus and Rogers told me that you can use the old Micro-SIM, but you will get 3G speeds. To get LTE speeds you need the LTE Micro-SIM (You get one of the new LTE Micro-SIMs for almost free with the iPad purchase in any case)
