4g is great around Chicago. Oak Brook should be covered without an issue. 3g speeds are hit or miss depending on congestion. Signal is great but speeds can lag.

I have 4G coverage out in Naperville. Was in Oakbrook today with full 4G bars. Have never had a problem with 4G even when I got the EVO back in June of last year.

Ditto your c covered in chicago

I'm in NJ and still have 1x, going on 27 hours now. Not back everywhere yet.
It came back in Maryland at about 1:54 AM EDT (give or take 5 minutes, as I wasn't checking connectivity constantly).
Was it even down for 24 hours? I don't think I noticed it being down on Tuesday evening, and I was up until about 3 AM Wednesday morning.
Anyway, the stability and speed are pretty good.
LA Still 1x
Miami, Fl. I'm back on 4G as well.
Tampa FL here and I have 4G back, but its going out and back in, but i do indeed have it finally after around 27 hours without.
West LA area here, I have 3G back but no 4G.
Columbus OHIO.... the folks here in the switch mentioned possible firewall issues as a root cause...

Calling all Arkansans! What are your data speeds? :)

I want to use this thread to gather a number of members' experiences with data speeds in Arkansas. I'd like to also welcome anyone who's done a speedtest while in Arkansas . When reading through numerous other threads about data speeds, most people are obviously in areas not even remotely close to mine. And since cellular data is so dependent, in part, on location, I want to narrow down the results to digest.
Overall (at my home), I average about 1.5 mbps down and 1 mbps up. During time periods where I get good results, I average about 3 mbps down and 1.1-1.2 mbps up. However, while in another part of my city, I average 4-5 mbps down and 1.1 mbps up at any time of day.
I'd like to know if any other Arkansans are getting better speeds, or worse, on average (and include location & time of day). Thanks in advance.
I was just there. I went to Mena from Texas. Highway 71 I believe.
A little before I got out of texas, I lost hspa. Pretty much as soon as I hit Arkansas, I went to edge. I did a couple of speed tests along the way and the best I got, sadly, was 45kbps down and 44kbps up with a 250ms ping. Hell , even the internet where I was at was only 256k down. Don't know what the upload was. Was kind of nice though. No cell phone, cell service and a bunch of trees and peace and quiet........
I am in Russell illegal and get 4.5mb/s down and 2.0mb/s up

Interesting. I have a couple of questions .
What rom, radio/ril, and apn settings are you using?
I'm more interested in your upload. Have you always been able to get 1.3+ mbps up? If not, what did you do to achieve this?
Thanks in advance .
NW AR... Averaging .5 probably up and down. Very disappointing.

On top of that, my battery is draining fast
I can't even catch 3g inside my building like I used to with my incredible. Antenna must be weaker or some ****

You using the stock battery cover or one from another manufacture? It's known that some non-OEM battery covers don't give the best connection to the antenna in the cover.

I am in Florida and I got no network. Just love it. I tend to wonder how good could LTE be once they complete their last wave of phones after the year. Its always up and down.

No 4g in Omaha NE...

Does anyone know when there will be 4g towers for Verizon in Omaha? Super tired of buying 4g devices and scooting along at what seems like a snails pace nowadays on 3g.

There is 4G LTE all over Omaha. I was using it just the other day. Look at the coverage map on Verizon's site.
Theoretically there's supposed to be 4g coverage wherever Verizon has 3g currently by the end of 2013. Dunno if that was just the rep spring his mouth off or if its true. I'm not holding my breath tho.

Well that's terribly annoying. Waiting another year+ before I get to actually use my devices to full potential... Awesome!
What??
I was in Omaha all summer and I had it almost everywhere.
Great speeds at my work too
Edit: almost everywhere I went at least...

I am sure that is the new XLTE. It's been in parts of Chicago, New York and LA on the Droids since the November OTA update, when the AWS bands were activated with a radio firmware update. 50/25 is much better than most people see on the old 700 Mhz LTE.
anyone know when upstate SC is gonna get xLTE? as a side-note when Seneca/Clemson got 4G LTE, (literally the day of) I was getting 24-28 mps down according to speed test. Now It is half of that (traffic). It was literally ridiculous how blazing fast it was.
