Its not on your coverage map Verizon, but thanks So anyone around here, check your phone
They announced it as a target market for end of the year expansion, but to be on so soon? Hmm, I'll check when I go to Allentown this weekend.
Yup im on it right now... Speakeasy has me at a clean 40mb down, 20 up LOL...

tether it to your computer and give an accurate number... the buffers on a cell phone give false reading ... our probably around 15 down and 6 up which is still fast as hell
ha, this thread made me turn LTE back on to see if they had flipped anything here in Raleigh, NC. But they haven't.
ha they turned it off again lol... bastards. On all day and boom went off
I'm here in Kutztown, was going to check. Since you said it is now off, I'll just keep my 4G disabled...
What part of the Lehigh Valley, if you don't mind me asking?
Also, on a side note, for those of you in non-4G areas, wanting an easier way to disable your 4G, there is an app that easily does it for you. Its called Phone info, and it is free in the Market made by a company called "[email protected]" Enjoy.
I'm in the scranton/wilkes-barre area. Wtf verizon. If they get it, so should I! LOL
Edit: see it's off now. Maybe it's coming sooner than we thought

Verizon did just add the Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton Leigh Valley area to their list of cities getting 4G, if they turned it on this is great news. I am in Clinton, NJ half the year, it's the middle of nowhere but 4G is a few miles from my house to the east, and Easton is just like 20-30 minutes to the west, maybe 15-20 miles. If the 4G spreads east and west to meet up by May I will be very happy.
Sweet! I'm in the Emmaus area. Going to check it out soon.

I am also here in the Lehigh Valley more specifically Bethlehem and I also saw that 4G was available through my Thunderbolt however at night my phone no longer showed that 4G was available but this morning my phone is showing that I am connected to 4G again.
Getting 4G today in Allentown but not last night in Emmaus. Will try again tonight at home.
Awesome. I have yet to notice any 4G. I live on Bethlehem, but I work out in fogelsville by rt 100. Where in Bethlehem did you see it?

Im getting it throughout bethlehem.. all the way from southside up to wegmans. Its blazing! Just wish they would keep it on lol... yesterday they turned it off around 7pm. I frowned.
Most likely they're just doing rolling tests to see if there are even people connecting to 4G and to make sure the network is stable.

Im in south Bethlehem and going through speedtest.net the website I was seeing speed around 30 down and 5 up. However my Thunderbolt no longer shows 4G it stopped showing it around 2:50 today
30 MB down, that is just sick speeds. I live in suburb of Boston and my brother in law brought his new Thunderbolt over to my house to make me pissed, he did, I'm getting about 5.5 MB down on my rooted and loaded Nexus One and thinking that was pretty damn fast he showed me that Verizon's new 4G was in fact on in my area showing about 2-3 bars inside my house and he was getting a whopping 16 MB down and some crazy # that must be wrong. Very impressive phone, I will have one by tomorrow evening. $30.00 for unlimited data is a fantastic deal. Outside he was showing 4 bars and something like 20+ MB down. Unbelievable. Absolutely fantastic device, HTC and Google make the best phones IMO.
Sadly No sign of 4G here in Bethlehem today even though there was 4G yesterday and tuesday
I had 4g yesterday in Easton, but not today!
I'm in Kutztown/Reading. Anybody else having an issue with their 3G data around here?

Dang it I missed it!!
They have turned it on once before for a few min about a month so maybe we are getting close to having the switch flipped on in gville/sptbg area! I hate that I missed it this time!
I am near downtown greenville and it came on for about a few min and went out got a chance to do a speed test I was getting 6 to 10mbps down was not getting upload

I read an article on google that stated verizon's 4g will hit surrounding areas when greenville, sc receives 4g, including clemson university. With that being said, i have noticed an increase in 3g/1x fluctuations this and last week as well.
I don't see why they didn't include Anderson in the list I saw. I saw mauldiin simpsonville easley fountain inn and some more suburbs in greenville. Heck if they added Anderson they would have most of the upstate market. Tonight I been noticing a lot of 3G drops outs

It Looks like the Greenville/Spartanburg area is getting 4G on the 16th of June Verizon Wireless Twitted it along with 21 new market areas!
Are you sure Greenville/Spartanburg was on the list?? I didn't see it on Android Central's list for the 16th a couple days ago.
I hope, I hope you're right!!
Your Right!! I hadn't seen the latest!! Thanks for making my day!! HAHAHA

It's also on verizon wireless news Center http://news.vzw.com/news/2011/05/pr2011-05-20g.html
Also these surrounding areas i would picture Travelers Rest and Easley will be in there since Central SC which is WAY smaller than Easley is also gonna be Covered because these towns are part of the Greenville Metro statistical area (aka Suburbs) but here is what they posted on thier News Center
The deployment of Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE in Greenville-Spartanburg also provides LTE coverage throughout the surrounding areas of Clemson, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Greer, Taylors, Inman, Central, Liberty (Which i will think this will include Easley since is along HWY 123 and in Pickens County just adding my guessing in), Mauldin, Wellford, Inman, Berea, Lyman, Startex, Roebuck, and White Stone.
With all these Cities and surroundings that Pretty much covers the Whole Upstate at least around the I-85 Corridor of South Carolina just needs to get to Gaffney and Anderson area's this is like a huge LTE cut on
I was connected to 4g for a few hours early this morning in Mauldin before it went back off.

Ha ha yeah. It is. So far the only speeds that match it is Fios (and docsis3.0 speeds). but they don't have that everywhere.
I guess I should clarify.. I dont give a crap about anything faster than 5mb down...it's upload speeds that matter to me.
Cablemodem speeds. Road Runner btw

This is GREAT NEWS!! I live in Racine ...just south of Milwaukee wonder if this means we will have it soon?! I work in Zion ,Ill and have 4g there. Anyways ...thanks for the heads up!
Ohh wow. That upload is slower than my dsl.
I wish ISPs would start focusing on upload speeds too. With all this talk about cloud computing and certain ISPs providing like 50GB of online backup space, you'd think we can get a decent upload speed.

All of downtown, the third ward, and the airport have had it for at least the few weeks that I've had my TB. I dropped my wife off at the airport a couple weeks ago at around 5am. Pulled 28.8, 25, and 22 DL on separate tries. I picked her up in the afternoon the next day and got 10-15 DL. Very impresssed.

There has been 4g in Milwaukee since the tb was released. It has been my experience that it goes west about to 35th and south to around College. I do occasionally get 4g going more south and west but it seems to be strongest in dt Milwaukee.

4G is trash...at least for me...I live in Greenfield and even in strong areas of 4G coverage I cannot complete a single large download...tried different handsets, SIM cards, ROMs and radios...it's the towers.

Speaking of LTE in Milwaukee...
Either a lot more are running on the LTE now in Milwaukee, or the radio's in our LTE phones are being capped. I've been noticing some pretty bad performance some days. Even with full strength, only pulling 2mbps down yet 13mbps up..
I sure hope 4G spreads all the way between Green Bay and Milwaukee someday - I am about halfway between the two cities and really wanting that extra G! Lol

I'm kinda SOL when it comes to ANY stable data at house.
I live in semi-rural area of Racine, and my house is almost a Verizon dead spot.
I can sit in my house and only get 1-3 bars of 3G, and maybe 1.2mbps down at MAX.
However I can walk to either edge of my 8 acre property and pick up the LTE, and get 1-2 bars and pull 5-10mbps.
Same here but I live in the city of Milwaukee

So 4G is starting to come online in Salt Lake ahead of tomorrow's official launch. Seems pretty fast and the tower hand-off has been pretty good from the little I've seen. While I'm not sure about the northern boundries the southern boundries are supposed to be to about 7800 south which leaves a large part of the Valley without 4G (bummer). I live right at about 7800 south and 2700 West and this morning my Thunderbolt would flicker between 4G and 3G depending on which tower I was connected to. I certainly hope it was due to the service just starting to come online and not due to the fact that I'm right on the boundry for the 4G service. I guess we'll see how the coverage looks in the morning when it "officially" launches.
My office which is about 6200 South and 3000 East is getting strong 4G without any flickering or hiccups.
Who else is Salt Lake is getting 4G and where do you think the boundries are?
Creek Road and Highland drive (about 8000 south 2000 east), getting strong signal. Not sure what the closest tower would be...

No luck down here in Draper, but hopefully when Provo/Orem rolls out it reaches from the city to the valley
I commute in from Grantsville everyday, via 80.
I got 4G at about 215 and 80, and it stuck all the way up to the 4500 S exit off of 15, and to where I work on 3900 and State.
Was on it all day, streaming Audiogalaxy, Pandora and Google Music. No hiccups, at all.
I will say, when I walked into work this morning, I had a full 100% charge on my extended 2750 battery, and I just let it run down, which took about 6 and a half hours, Lol! 4G is quite the battery hog.
Running the newest virusrom beta (gb), and imo's newest kernel. Usually get 20+ hours on a mix of wifi and 3g.

So when I left me house this morning I didn't have 4G (7800 south & 2700 west). Disappointing, but what can I do? At work (where I get great 4G coverage) I checked the Verizon website and their coverage maps it says my home is well within the 4G coverage area (sorry Draper, no luck).
Is there a chance they are still rolling it out and we'll see more of the valley come online throughout the day or do you think this is it and the Verizon map is wrong?

Just purchased my TB from the VZW store yesterday from the Murray store (State & 63rd), and I was able to get 4G in the store. Drove home to 10th W & 70th S (5 min) and no 4G.
I work at the VA hospital and get a strong signal here but where I live it goes back and fourth but mostly just 3t and it should be in the boundaries. I live about 30th south 30th east. I am going that it will get stronger, but it may just be wishful thinking.

I think Verizon's map is very generous with what areas are 4g. Murray should be completely covered according to their map. Unfortunately Draper falls into a hole while there is some coverage in a neat little circle around it... Here's hoping we get some more love this way, if not I live down off state and center in Orem so when Provo/Orem rolls out I'm good :| I hope.

Spoke to a Verizon Guy
So I was chatting with a Verizon Guy and he was telling me that they will continue to expand LTE until they hit the point of the mountain and some of Draper. He says they are still working on upgrading towers and every Sunday they flip a few more on. I guess there are quite a few towers that are ready for LTE further south but they don't want to have dead spots in the middle so they are upgrading to towers inbetween and letting it creep further and further south as they go. He told me they had some problems with the Tower at Jordan Landing but that once that one came on they could expand into South Sandy immediately.
I know my on again and off again 4G on 7800 South and 2700 West is now fully ON and I'm finding the signal further and further south.
He also said that they will likely turn on the Provo/Orem towers in late July.
Are you guys seeing 4G continue to expand its footprint?
SWEET!
Getting it here in Draper, right by the point of the mountain. Good thing too, cause it made little sense that there is a Verizon store here by the Harmon's that had to explain to it's customers that 4g was just up the road...
I have full bars at my place off 7800s 1300w. Today I'm not getting anything at all. 3G is extremely slow today as well. There are some gaps out towards the point of the mountain in Magna and Riverton/Herriman as well.

AT&T's backhaul is overloaded in a lot of areas, NYC is notorious for this.
i.e. your connection to the towers is wicked fast, but the towers' connection to the rest of the world is crap.

What did you expect? 4G everywhere as soon as the Tbolt went on sale? They're basically building a new network from the ground up. Verizon doesn't send out emails welcoming people to 4Gland. It usually just happens overnight. Here in Ohio, its almost impossible to avoid LTE inside a city. Even a small one like fostoria, OH. Some places won't see it for years yet. It's not false advertising. I didn't expect to see it where I'm at anytime soon, then they started doing nightly testing and it was live in a month. You just have to relax your expectations.
