Just wanted to tell anyone in the Southwestern PA area that Allegheny and Washington county are both now completely blanketed in 4g.
I live in Northern Washington and have had 3g until this morning but have had 4g now for around 4 or 5 hours so I'm guessing that it is now live and I can now confirm both counties with full 4g coverage.
Nice ... Now when I visit my parents I'll be set!

Hey all.
How's the 4G coverage in the SF Bay Area, specifically in the BART subway system in downtown San Francisco and in the transbay tube (underwater tunnel)?
I ask because a few years ago they wired the subway and Verizon gets a good 3G signal underground now, so I am wondering if they wired it for LTE also? If you commute through this area and have a TBolt or VZW data card, do you get LTE in these areas?
I'm considering a TBolt and I work in downtown SF and commute via BART, so that's why I am asking. Thanks.
im in the same boat as you. in the city in buildings 4g coverage is excellent. In the tunnels you will get only 3g. I am suprised at how good the coverage is in the east bay. I have 4g all around, in valleys and pretty much everywhere (excepy my house which has no signal ever
anyway, no 4g in tunnels.
4G work EVERYWHERE I've been in the bay area. I been in East Bay, San Bruno, San Fran, Palo Alto, San Jose, etc. Only issue is that 4G sucks battery fast. I've disabled it and run 3G to get all day battery life.
VZ's 4G coverage in the Bay Area seriously rocks. I get coverage EVERYWHERE!! all the dead spots i had with AT&T are gone.
Been to South Bay, East Bay and SF. never lost 4G even once and building penetration is very good.

Looks like someone needs to update their profile
so i live in beaverton and noticed my 4g was on
ok maybe not.......... i guess they were testing i called and asked they said yes... then they turned it off 45 minutes later so i called a local store they said there just testing in the area
Testing in Vancouver
They have it on hit and miss across the river here in Vancouver, too. I have it fairly consistently at my house, but lose it elsewhere. The handoff from 4g to 3g is killing me. I lose data entirely for 60-120 seconds with regularity.
4g on in some spots.
definitely 4g in the pdx (by airport) area. i go to school at ITT tech @ Cascade station, But i live in Vancouver, WA by the mall. I also get 4g at my house. I've been doing some testing and the only areas with 4g turned on are places that have a verizon store near by. i assume that they turned on the closest 4g tower to the stores demostrate 4g speeds.
areas near here that i know have 4g include:
Portland PDX - near the airport (verizon store @ cascade station)
Fishers Landing area in Vancouver (Verizon store on 164th)
Vancouver Mall area (verizon store @ vancouver plaza)
Downtown vancouver (not sure of a verizon store here, but i know there is one across the bridge in Jantzen beach, OR)
i seem to finally be receiving 4G coverage here in San Diego (north county coastal). speeds are no where near as impressive as the 4G they have in downtown San Diego though.
in downtown SD was able to download a 700MB file in about 5 minutes. here in the N.C. coastal area it takes about 20 minutes. still, better then the 1 1/2 - 2 hours it took on 3G.
weird thing though, according to the verizon 4g coverage map on verizon's website, it still says that there is no 4G in my area yet + i was at a verizon store earlier and the 4G phones they have on display still say 3G.
does it have something to do with updating to the new radio(possibly being able to pick up a 4G that isn't officially turned on in this area yet?) i'm also on a sense 3.5 rom.

The radio might have something to do with it, but there's no way to know for sure. It's kinda pokey in the beginning.
Where in north county? In Oceanside and no 4g yet.
Odds are, they're simply turning it on tower by tower or possibly just testing it. Until it's fully up and running, do NOT expect VZW to say they have 4G in your area or update their online maps.
Should they run radio ads saying "Enjoy amazing 4G speeds on Verizon's network, but only in voxigenboy's general area" ?

I'm in Carlsbad (92008) but also tested in Oceanside (92054). 4G all the way.
the radio I'm using is that newer 9## one.. its not the MR 3.5
there was a link to it in that sense 3.5 look-a-like rom thread.
oddly enough, even though Oceanside is closer to the towers I've been getting a stronger signal in Carlsbad. for instance, that Angelo's Burgers in South O, I used to get full 3G reception there.. now on 4G the signal there sucks.
then the Carlsbad library on CVB, it used to have a ****ty 3G signal... now the 4G there is very strong.
Weird, I'm on the fringe of Oceanside but I haven't noticed 4g anywhere i've been. Even downtown. Seen it in some parts of Carlsbad but haven't been around there too recently.
4g seems weird. I am in a strong 4g area but do not get it at my house but do at the station about 2 miles down the road I do.

^What he said. 4G came and went for about 3 weeks in Indy before it was officially here.
Im disappointed, I live about 45 mins outside of Savannah Georgia, and still no LTE... Only place I pick it up is when I head to Jacksonville/St Augustine area... ISO my LTE
still no LTE
There's still no LTE in 92056, 92058, 92057 or anywhere else in Oceanside. Maybe they were just testing it. Vista, Fallbrook and Camp Pendleton still dont have it either. I noticed that Verizon recently lit up all of Riverside County west of the mountains but it seems like they are doing a poor job in San Diego. They are adding one or two cities at a time. Hopefully, that Riverside County crew will move into our area and show the lazy San Diego Verizon workers how to upgrade a network.
You guys are complaining I am in NJ in the state of Verizon's headquters and we have up north and heading toward phillips that's it and in every time they turn on more radios never do they mention NJ so I am thinking 2013
Sent by me, for me and i love you
Im getting lte speeds in Brooklyn. anyone else? did it go live today?
No not yet. Damn can't wait lol. BTW what color sim card you have.

Reading reports of Phoenix and San Diego too. A big announcement is coming.
In NYC, no LTE here.
LTE is on in NY, but its also still in the testing phase. So not all the towers are active and it isnt running at full capacity yet. Check out engadget for more info
No LTE in Los Angeles yet! Damn it, I just moved out of San Diego.
Just got about 12mb up and 12 down in Manhattan by 23rd street.
Been getting 20 down and 10 up in lower manhattan and borough Park, Brooklyn
Love it!
I think only the tower in midtown is on?
OK have LTE now, have 28D/14U, near Ridgewood. I think only turned on for a few hours since I didn't get LTE in the afternoon.
I work in Grand Central Terminal, no LTE inside platform area (but excellent att coverage) but LTE outside! very nice

Anyone have an idea when LTE will be available in the San Fernando Valley? I don't understand how AT&T could ignore two-thirds of the City of Los Angeles?
On HSPA+ I'm getting about 5-6 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. But part of the joy of owning a One X is its LTE capabilities.
It's weird that Verizon did the SFV with their LTE rollout, but AT&T ignored it. I think if you head south to ventura blvd/405 area, there is LTE.
I asked this question as I live here too. They said since they have 50ish towers out here they're doing them all and don't expect it done Until the end if the year.

Well, it's about the end of the year and no hint of LTE in The Valley. Usually you hear people mention brief spottings of LTE service as the towers are tested before the official launch. In Santa Clarita, I saw Verizon LTE service full time for two weeks before VZW announced it as officially available.

There is no LTE service anywhere north of Sunset Blvd, according to their coverage maps.

The Valley's less than half of the actual city's population these days. Either way, they may be ignoring the ~1.75 million residents of The Valley, but when you consider the ~13 million in the LA/OC county areas, most of which are covered now, AT&T's proudly calling LA an LTE city and not in any rush to finish up it seems.
On the brighter side, I've seen reports (and photos) of new LTE compatible panels on AT&T towers near Balboa & the I5, and even up in Santa Clarita near Lyons and the I5. There's also a completely new tower someone's thrown up at Devonshire/Reseda, hopefully it's AT&T LTE.
LTE in the San Fernando Valley
LTE is finally rolling out in the San Fernando Valley.
I was in North Hollywood, Reseda, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, and Encino last night and all these places were covered in LTE. Signal strength was great and download speeds are amazingly fast. I live in Sherman Oaks and I'm seeing speeds as high as 30 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up in my home. I was seeing 5 down in NoHo, but that may have only been because I caught the beginning of the rollout in my area. Very exciting.
Note: I have a friend that lives in Northridge that claims she did not see LTE out in that area.
