That means verizon is testing 4g in ur area and it should be live soon
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.
Come on Boiling Springs!!

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.
zolazar - i live in easley too. small world.

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.

Hardly a "mess of new cities and towns". A mess to me would be 10-15+. Not 5...back to waiting I guess.

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.

Columbia and Hilton Head get it, but I'm in Charleston
They dont have any sites in virginia. Northern va is part of the dc area and bristol is part of the bristol tenn area. So they have a very long freaking way to go here.

Pshh Columbia and Hilton Head who in the heck lives in Hilton Head i figured Greenville SC would get it before Columbia because Greenville is a major Market area
lol been on in the Lehigh Valley for 3 weeks now. Funny
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

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??

Just read in the heraldsun.com, VZW just announced 4G available in the Raleigh/Durham area on July 21.
I will be in Durham all week, can't wait for it to go live. Also saw the Winston Salem post that's its going live. I live in Winston and glad I will hopefully not have to go back to 3g when I get home.

Just in time for me to move from Raleigh back into an area that has had 4G all along lol
Good for you guys! We've had it here in Charlotte for quite a while and it really does live up to all the hype. The LTE handsets actually get better speeds than our LTE modems at work. My brother-in-law lives in Cary, so I'm hoping it's included in the coverage area.
Anyone actually seen 4g kick in yet. I am right next to duke university and still on 3g. Figured it would be active if it was actually happening today. 6 pm local time.

It happened to me too. !!!!
So I wonder when the "new" towers are supposed to go live...my service couldn't be any worse the past few weeks both in rtp and apex, apex being so bad I get 450-500kb down on 3g, all phones not just tbolt
So this supports the suggestion that it'll be up this week, but coming along with some trouble, I'm curious if others are seeing the same.
I had 4g for a good 3 hours this morning at work in Zebulon, got anywhere between 11 and 18 mbps down via speakeasy. That I assume was them cycling/testing towers some more. Problem is, for the last 2 hours I've had no data at all, no 3g, not even text messaging. Seem to have voice signal but that's it. Anybody else seen the same this morning?

Durham/Morrisville seems to be fine when it comes to 4G. The download speeds are pretty sub-par from what I've seen reported before in other LTE areas (getting about 4-4.5mbps), but I'm assuming they are just testing the network today and have it limited a bit. 3G seems to be messing up with slow speeds/connectivity issues but voice is alright.
Hells yeah!

Active in Bloomington / Normal too, occurred overnight!
Meanwhile.....
Thriving metropolises like Fostoria, OH have had it most of the year now. Technology doesn't seem to reach IL very fast. Huge portions of that state still don't have EVDO.
so what gives?... how do we know when 4G is going to be available if Verizon says they don't have that information?....
I'm in San Diego county and have been waiting 7 months now for 4G. Ill occasionally hear that some 4G update is coming soon & people here making posts when they have it.. but still.. ghetto 3G for me.
is there even a way to find out or just wait around until we either suddenly notice our phone says 4G or get an announcement email from Verizon?
oh and speaking of thriving metrpolis'... how come I have a cousin that lives in a tiny town of like 20,000 people and has 4G, and I live in a place 500,000 people and no 4G....
damn you Verizon and your false advertising!....
I'm sorry t-mobile and my galaxy s....

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.
I live near downtown san diego. I get great 4G service typically but when I go to places like escondido, other does suck. Ive been told by multiple reps that 4G will be nationwide by end of 2012.

I'm in the Quad Cities which is one of the areas that was supposed to get it on the 15th of this month. I've seen my phone connect a couple/few times but not for very long at all. I've done a couple speed tests too and it would only come back as like 5 or 6 meg down which can't be right. Anyone else in this area having similar issues? I've tried different radios on my phone and still the same thing...
