4G in Milwaukee!! - Thunderbolt General

Just got 4g turned up, I'm in Milwaukee WI!!! I'm in West Allis, a suburb of Milwaukee, about 10 minutes west of downtown.
It's faster by speed test than my cablemodem. how f'd is that?!

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
T-bolt.

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.

That's great news! Unfortunately I'm not seeming to pick up a signal and I'm in Brown Deer (northern milwaukee county). I will have to try when I go closer to downtown tonight. Are you getting a consistent signal or was it only for a bit? I don't believe anything has been announced yet.

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.

I'm deeper into the city, not far from miller park and still not getting a signal. Do you guys have your phones set to CDMA/LTE auto or just straight LTE mode? I want my 4glte!

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.

i'm in Waukesha. Considering buying this phone.

Cool, I live in Racine too!

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.
Not impressed and wish I kept my Droid Incredible

Congrats I noticed 4G working in Green Bay about a month ago, if I member correctly I was drinking a lil so got more excited than I should of

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

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
Also I been noticing 3g going down to 1x and back up to 3g for the past week anyone else had this happen?

oooooh. Maybe if Greenville is close then Charleston is right there with them. I should start turning on 4g to see if it works
I thought you meant Greenville, NC... damn.
Coming soon to a greenville / spartanburg place near you! YES!
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
I'm in Travelers Rest/Furman area, wonder if the 4G will stretch to me? i'm only 15 min to downtown.
I live in Easley and I really hope it reaches out there because I will get rid of my DSL through AT&T.

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.

Verizon LTE Coming to "a mess of cities and towns" Thursday

http://twitter.com/#!/VerizonWireless/status/59968063570837504
Anybody see a press release for this on where it is coming? I would love to see it in Springfield, MA! I doubt it though as I haven't seen it come on for "testing" as some other cities have.
Would love for Portland, OR to be one of them.

I've seen a couple of postings that folks around here (Portland) have had 4G on and off over the past couple weeks. Was in a VZW corporate store (Bridgeport) the other day and the tech person noted that it had been on and off lately--she assumed for testing.
It's been on at PDX for sometime, as I'm sure you know. I hope the signal spreads to SW of the city where I am.

I don't think that's it. Expect to see the vast majority of cities from the initial update to the LTE coverage list (not this most recent one) receive their connectivity on Thursday. And expect a lot more of those mini-press releases. They'll probably do one for each major area that gets 4G LTE turned on.
edit: Like I said, they've already got two more tweets up with areas that are getting it, plus two more mini-press releases.

Flint, MI, my home town, is one of the cities on that initial list I referred to. I have a feeling they'll light it up on Thursday, which is the same day I'm heading home for Easter. I'm gonna have to come up with some money for a Thunderbolt quick, haha.
I'm really curious to see what kind of LTE signal strength I get at my home, though. Currently, I get an average of 1 bar of signal strength on 3G. In one corner of my upstairs bedroom, 2 bars. Downstairs there are dead zones everywhere (including for voice. Mom still doesn't understand that she needs to stay in one place when she calls me on her cell phone from home, or else I can't hear her!). My understanding is that 4G LTE has a bit more range to it than 3G, and that you'll still get decent transfer rates when you have low signal strength due to the different way LTE sends data packets. I really hope I can finally get some decent data speeds at my house now.
I wonder what the I-78 corridor is, does that mean they are covering the highway between the 3 cities? Because I thought they were covering the whole area of the cities so it would be one big blob. The only other meaning I can infer is that they plan to cover I-78 for the extra 15-20 miles or so from easton to where their NYC coverage runs out. I guess we'll see exactly what happens on the 21st, I can't wait.

What 4G speeds are you guys pulling off?(:

NOT A USEFUL Q&A JUST FOR FUN.
No 4g were I'm at. Sadly :/
But I want to see what speeds you guys are getting off on 4G.

Trust me, it's WAY better than Sprint's WiMax. I came from an Evo and I know that for sure.
Also just FYI, the overall signal quality in LA isn't as good as in San Diego, but not to the level where you will have problems.
I get about 16 down and 4 up. I live outside of Baltimore and seem to have 4g everywhere I travel. Washington DC coverage seems to be hit or miss though. The speeds of this device are incredible.

I've done speedtests all over L.A. and the slowest I've gotten is here at work in a brick building next to a hill with bad reception for all carriers, and I get about 8/1 here. Everywhere else I get much better speeds, sometimes 20+/10+.
Well I happen to work next to the Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah so I only get 4G coverage at work. I take that back, I think the coverage is there because I work next to one of Verizon's largest call centers. Regardless my speeds are lopsided.
I'm getting about 12.5MB/second Down and 26.5MB/second Up
Most of you guys have BS scores. You cant use speedtests app... even the 2.0 version is crap.

That being said Im getting around 18 down, 3-4 up in the Lehigh Valley PA.
Interesting story from Wired.
Kind of sad how slow the rest are compared to Verizon...

Verizon has 700mhz for the spectrum their LTE network is on. Sprint's WiMax is on 2500mhz, the highest of all for cell phone coverage, thus is absolutely sucks indoors worse than anything else. Sprint's 3G is on 1900 which is also sucky and worse than tmobile's 1700 for 3G which AT&T is looking to buy to put their LTE on. Verizon by far is going to have the best 4g coverage for a multitude of reasons.

The speedtest app has been working correctly for me for awhile now. I just pulled identical speeds using the speedtest app, speedtest.net, and speakeasy.net. The Speakeasy test is also powered by Ookla, the same people who make the speedtest app and the speedtest.net website, they're all the same.

my speeds kind of doubled. I'm in the east bay (Fremont, near San Jose) i only had 1 bar but managed a steady 3.4mbps down and 1.2mbps up. I usually get half of that with 1 bar of 4g reception. I did not test while I was out and about today, but Fremont was not one of the 55 cities.
i need to speedtest once i get back into the city (SF), but unfortunately in big cities the data demand is consistently high, so a boost may not be noticed, but I'm sure it'll increase data speed stability.
Looking good so far tho!

I'm not from LA, Just visiting. I'm getting 2 to 6Mbps here. I guess you could say that's not bad, but the answer to the OP question is I haven't noticed any increase in the last couple days. From what I have experienced, TMO is advertising "AMERICA's LARGEST 4G NETWORK" When actually its truly only a 3.5G network in selected markets neglecting the majority of the rest of the country and leaving us with an unreliable 2G network. At least some of the other providers can say they have a large portion of the country covered by at least 3G. TMO does have a good looking woman spouting their lies for them though.

thats a can that doesnt need to be opened. there is no "TRUE" 4G tech thats readily deployed right now.
I dont care what they call it. They can call its it worms for all i care lol. 4-10mbps is fast enough for any mobile application.
And last thing, all of these are theoretical speeds are in perfect conditions, no loads, etc. I dont think any of these supposed breakneck speeds VZ, ATT, Tmob, or Sprint advertises will actually happen in real world use. 42mbps? Yeah right TMob!! Ive never seen over 11mbps on TM or Sprint 4G.

the speeds at state are random - as backed up by Tmo's own coverage map. you're much better off testing it at Stones Town.
If I were you, I would keep the MT4G. I regret exchanging mine for the SGS4G.
I am seeing about a 3-5mbps increase in tulsa. I average around 15 and before was around 12.
Funny thing is, started testing yesterday... They must have forgotten to do Chicago, even though it is listed. I'm right down town in the loop, at least my speeds are consistant... 1.09 down and 0.25 up. If anything, I am seeing a major speed de-crease. Hell, In naperville, IL, I have speed tests clocked from several months a go, 1 at 7.1 Mbps down and 3.4 Mbps up. Currently in naperville, tests range from 1 Mbps down all the way up to 7.3 Mbps down.
Chicago, no go. I sent tmo a tweet asking what the deal was and if they accidently included chicago in the list or if it is broken already... 24 hours later, they ignored the comment...probably because they know its true.
I love tmo...but seriously, whats with all they hype if theyre not gonna stand by it, everywhere mentioned in the press release.

[Q] 4G Salt Lake -Where are the boundries

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...
Stops up around north salt lake,about a mile past where 15 and 215 join,had 4g in layton yesterday for about an hour

Hum drum...
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.

Same as you. I was going north on Beck St. And lost it right around Staker or after.

I get it in Holladay. For some reason today the 4g does not want to start on. If I switch to 3g I am good but not 4g. Amy one else having those issues?

Rio Tinto Stadium.
it seems like the 4G footprint is continuing to expand at least a little. While I still don't have full 4G at my house yet it seems like the signal seems to be getting more widespread than it was last week.
Are you seeing 4G in any places it wasn't in last week at launch?

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.
