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.

Tosa was turned on today! I noticed Cudahy had it when I was there Sunday. That was surprising....

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

LTE in the Lehigh Valley PA was slower than a dog this morning. Literally couldnt do anything with it - 3G was way faster. FIgured it was a problem on their end and it would be fixed. I normally get 15-18 down, 5 up on speakeasy.net...
Just tried LTE to see if its fixed...now getting 35 down 6 up on speakeasy...
Guess they upgraded something???
There has been many problems with the network over the past few days. Give it some time for Verizon to work out the problems. We are Guinea pigs anyways.

Weekend of April 8/9, I was in A-Town, a mile west of Dorney Park, visiting Mom.
Downloads were 30-40mbps.. so what you are seeing isn't new to me
Oh, btw, speakeasy testing to phily gives me slower speeds than testing to Baltimore for some reason.
I work in Allentown and live in N Whitehall Township so I can speak to these issues as well.
From about yesterday around 4:30 PM until today around 2:30 PM I had 1X and even 3G wasn't stable. I figured it was my phone so I've been working with it to work out the issues but now I figure it's the network. LTE came back in Allentown around 2:30 and it was solid until I left around 4:30.
Now that I'm back up in N Whitehall Twp I've fallen back to 1X/3G and have no LTE. This is on my Bolt and on my Mifi so I figure it's maintenance.
I did have a meeting with Verizon yesterday at our office and they did mention they were doing maintenance in our area but from what I could tell it was working in Allentown this afternoon. Hopefully it comes back tonight here in NW!
living in Bethlehem right here and everything seems fine to me
Drove I476 north... lost 4g just before Villanova/St David (exit 13)... didn't have it again until I got off the turnpike in Allentown.
Have had 4g at Mom's, a couple miles west of Dorney Park...
i've been up and down on mine

Thats what she said.
I haven't had 4G at home all weekend on my Bolt or my LTE Mifi. I'm just glad it's not the phone.

Did anybody notice their 4g LTE come on in Raleigh for about 15 minutes thhis afternoon, then go back off??
No clue. I'll be in Raleigh next weekend, be cool to check out 4g if it's running then. I'm in Fayetteville, we're supposed to get it summertime
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I didn't see it but I was at work in zebulon not at home in the afternoon. That'd be awesome if they bring it up in the next couple weeks. Very exciting to hear.
I was in the Verizon store yesterday and they said Raliegh will be getting it next then here in Greensboro in June or July !!!
3G here in Raleigh this morning, but interested!
No LTE today, but around the same time as yesterday I had major data drops
I got 4G for about an hour in North Raleigh 3 weeks ago. Didn't see any last night, but I wasn't on my phone too much *shrug*

I have been getting 4g lte in all day today in Raleigh over by Brier Creek. Also in Durham on hwy 70 between I-85 all the way to Brier Creek. It is fast...the fastest I got was 21.5 down and 5 up here is pic to prove it.
Any 4G today in Raleigh/Durham?
Thanks

Not today so I guess it was testing...but I am thinking we should have it by the end of the May.
I just read the article in the news&observer paper this morning...
Verizon will activate its high-speed LTE wireless network in the Fayetteville-Lumberton area on Thursday. The technology has demonstrated speeds up to 10times faster than the company's current 3G network
So hopefully Raleigh isn't too far behind!!!!
Thanks
I saw the tweet too...hoping that Raleigh is going to get it...we were on the original list...kinda crappy that this "technology hotbed" is behind lumberton and wilmington
Just a note to Raleigh folks, turn your 4G radio on. I've got solid LTE signal in zebulon!
ok, looks like I lied. Walked outside and the 4G LTE icon popped up. Guess it's too weak for me to get inside at my office in Garner. Only 1.5-2Mbps down so I'm guessing they're still fine tuning things.
LTE in Durham and Chapel hill
I noticed it on yeasterday for about 15 minutes then it went off.
Ya, went back off after half hour.
Didn't see raleigh on the list for June that came out today...what's up Verizon??

Verizon's 4G LTE network is now up and running ahead of schedule! It was supposed to be up at the end of the month but here I get to utilize my TB to its fullest potential half a month early! So far surfing the web is amazing, Hulu and Netflix stream flawlessly and downloads fly. Now to see how bad my battery life ends up...
4G LTE with 3 bars of signal using SpeedTest.net app:
Ping - 302ms
Download - 4762kbps
Upload - 3795kbps

Grats! Now we need it in more parts of Indy (i.e. the parts I'm in, not downtown and by the airport).
Congrats! still cant get any sign of it in Noblesville.
Likewise none here either in noblesville
Seen it from indy to westfield Monday, soon as I got home no more 4G
Can't wait for this ****
Seems most of Indy is supposed to be covered now. I get a 4g signal about one block from my house but, sadly, no 4g at my house. Still, far better rollout than AT&T's "4g" service. The suburbs are probably next on the list.
the Verizon press release says 4G within the 465 loop
I had it to westfield a couple days before it was "officially" released, but now I don't!!
my guess is they attenuated the signal strength back some to limit signal loss in the burbs, who really knows, except them
http://news.vzw.com/news/2011/05/pr2011-05-23a.html
BINGO!!
got 4G LTE in westfield right now!!!
so excited, hope its at work too, in noblesville
Man, you guys are lucky. I don't even know when Indy is getting Wimax, let alone Danville and Avon.

I'm jelly bro hopefully New Mexico will be soon

Hope Michigan gets its lights turned on soon!
*waves with 4G speed in Madison*
Congrats on that!!! Your gonna love it
This is so noob but is Brookfield anywhere near kenosha? Chicago 4g cuts out a few miles south
(i don't live in wisc so i wouldn't know where you are in relation )
Kenosha is on as well, saw it yesterday afternoon.
The SpeedTest.Net app gave me the following results:
10951 kbps download , 4827 kbps upload on 4G
LTE confirmed here in Milwaukee, although the official day isn't until tomorrow. I've noticed my phone swapping between 4G and 3G while in doors, but outside it stays solid on LTE. My speeds are about 9-10 down and 5-6 up. Nice!
central CT is supposed to get it tomorrow but we've had it for 3 days!

Lol its ok and no. Brookfield is about 30 min from there (depending on how you drive ). Its just outside Milwaukee.
Menomonee Falls is Live as well
Now im glad I dumped Sprint last month for my T-Bolt..actually wait I was glad before, sub 300kb downloads,sometimes even hitting sub 100kb were upsetting me and my Evo and Verizon fixed that all up
Careful what you ask for...it's like Crack.
Been on it since day 1 with my bolt in Metro Detroit.
Traveling outside the area...sucks...

That's sweet! I just hope they it add it a couple hundred miles north for me
I remember this month was supposed to be the massive Wisconsin rollout, and im sure most of us arent complaining it was 2 days early lol.. Oddly enough I just tested the 4G against my WiFi connection off my road runner with turbo boost, and the LTE smokes it
LTE kicked on at 4:50 PM today in Lansing, MI, and it's also live in East Lansing, MI. I've seen speeds as high as 18 Mb/sec down and 4 Mb/sec up right at the state capitol building, and 24 Mb/sec down and 3.5 Mb/sec up at my apartment in East Lansing. Signal strength here is fluctuating from 2 and 4 bars, but everything is really damn fast. I'm streaming HD Netflix right now when I can't even do that on my wired connection here, haha!
Maybe it's just me, but my battery life is not that bad at all. In fact, thus far based on this week's performance it hasn't been any worse than 3G. This could be because I am in-doors and the phone occasionally drops back to 3G for short periods of time, but I recall my phone going dead in 6-7 hours when they first started turning on LTE for testing last month. Could the dreaded battery drain have been a LTE network issue and not a Thunberbolt/call phone issue?
Please report back your battery life!
I've typically made it through my work day (9-5) and returned home with 65-70% battery left before LTE kicked on. It is just before 2:00 PM now, and I'm looking at my Thunderbolt and seeing 51% battery life remaining.
