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...

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.

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.

tether it to your computer and give an accurate number... the buffers on a cell phone give false reading ... our probably around 15 down and 6 up which is still fast as hell
ha, this thread made me turn LTE back on to see if they had flipped anything here in Raleigh, NC. But they haven't.
ha they turned it off again lol... bastards. On all day and boom went off
I'm here in Kutztown, was going to check. Since you said it is now off, I'll just keep my 4G disabled...
What part of the Lehigh Valley, if you don't mind me asking?
Also, on a side note, for those of you in non-4G areas, wanting an easier way to disable your 4G, there is an app that easily does it for you. Its called Phone info, and it is free in the Market made by a company called "[email protected]" Enjoy.

Verizon did just add the Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton Leigh Valley area to their list of cities getting 4G, if they turned it on this is great news. I am in Clinton, NJ half the year, it's the middle of nowhere but 4G is a few miles from my house to the east, and Easton is just like 20-30 minutes to the west, maybe 15-20 miles. If the 4G spreads east and west to meet up by May I will be very happy.

Im in south Bethlehem and going through speedtest.net the website I was seeing speed around 30 down and 5 up. However my Thunderbolt no longer shows 4G it stopped showing it around 2:50 today
30 MB down, that is just sick speeds. I live in suburb of Boston and my brother in law brought his new Thunderbolt over to my house to make me pissed, he did, I'm getting about 5.5 MB down on my rooted and loaded Nexus One and thinking that was pretty damn fast he showed me that Verizon's new 4G was in fact on in my area showing about 2-3 bars inside my house and he was getting a whopping 16 MB down and some crazy # that must be wrong. Very impressive phone, I will have one by tomorrow evening. $30.00 for unlimited data is a fantastic deal. Outside he was showing 4 bars and something like 20+ MB down. Unbelievable. Absolutely fantastic device, HTC and Google make the best phones IMO.
Sadly No sign of 4G here in Bethlehem today even though there was 4G yesterday and tuesday
I had 4g yesterday in Easton, but not today!

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Great news for the people of Colorado Springs, Colorado. 4G has hit different parts of the city. I was driving up at have hit 4G twice. 4G is still spotty and will be released to the entire city, with an official release by the end of the year. You can find 4G coverage in parts of Briargate (locals will know this area) and parts of downtown. I only had 4G for a matter of minutes, but after being with Denver and messing around with 4G I am very excited to have LTE in the area.
I'm jealous. Where I work in Northglenn (about 6 miles north of downtown Denver) I had 4G for a good two weeks but it has disappeared.

That's what I'm hoping too.....its just around the corner and I am surprised Colo Spgs, is getting it so early.
I was under the impression that VZ stated in an official release (prior to the TB release) that COS was getting 4G in the first half of 2011. So I'm not so sure we can call this early...but I'm excited to see it fully implemented.
From what I hear from a buddy, Ft Collins is just about to be turned on full time, hopefully both cities get flipped on together. Wish Verizon wasn't so "hush hush" about proposed dates.

Richmond VA has 4G mainly in Mechanicsville and the VCU area. Spoty in the North Highland Park area and the West End is straight 3G (although the West End got a glimpse of 4G for a day around the end of July)
In Northern VA it stops at around Woodbridge, a little spoty in Dale City however. Not sure how far west but I do believe Leesburg, Ashburn and Sterling all have 4G. If the person above is right who said Richmond would be complete around October, then it shouldn't be long after for Fredericksburg to be upgraded as well as its the mid way point between DC and Richmond on I-95.

Going west on Rt. 7 or the Dulles Greenway, 4G drops out in the middle of Ashburn, and unfortunately does not reach Leesburg and towns west at this time. And at the point you lose 4G, there is a dead period of about 30 seconds or so with no network connection at all, so something isn't working quite right in the network handoff to 3G. I've also lost voice calls during this tower transfer as well, though it's not as bad as it used to be.
Even in Sterling near Dulles Airport, 4G occasionally drops, but is generally reliable, although resetting the Network Mode on the phone's settings is sometimes necessary to get 4G there when traveling from a 3G area. Probably due to it being a border region.

I turned on my 4g around VCU today. I can confirm that it works.
I drove through the western tip of Virginia this weekend (around Rt 23/Interstate 26) and probably obvious to anyone that knows the geography of Virginia, there is no LTE there. I can't even remember if they have 3g there, haha. I don't recall any LTE until you hit either Charlotte, NC or Greenville, SC heading south and nothing until Columbus, OH or Cincinnati, OH heading north.
Blacksburg and Christiansburg have had total 4G coverage for over a month now, since before the semester started.
It seems like places with high profile athletic teams are getting most of this current expansion wave. Blacksburg was probably an ideal market for stress testing because the towns population triples when the students return, and then almost doubles again during football games.

If only we had actually won...we might actually have 4G by now.
Richmond 4G Update: I noticed stronger 4G reception in the Highland Park area today. And parts of the West End are getting lit up but once you get to West Broad/ Parham Rd going towards Short Pump, it goes back to 3G.
Anyone from the Richmond area want to help make a 4G map? VZW does not have us on their planned 4G roll out for 2011 and there is no indication of 4G on their map even though VCU has had 4G for about 2 months now. This user created map will help visitors and others know where to expect 4G signals.
