I was excited to see the 4G icon, so I called Verizon to confirm that it is permanent and not just a test. So far, been getting amazing speeds. 7 mbps down, 2 mbps up.

mine popped up at 6 i went in the gym with gym and when i started working out i had 4g. ran speedtest and got 19m that could be dangerous
I was waiting for it to kick in today. But Verizon surprised me with the turn on a day early. Woot. Loving the speed boost for sure.
Im glad my fellow Ohians are catching up to the west of me
Well it is great to hear that 4g is finally avail to different company besides tmobile in the miami valley i hope you guys enjoy but hey once you blow up your contract with data overages and need an out come c me for cricket
What areas of Dayton at you getting the hookup? My parents live in Germantown so I highly doubt I'll get anything when visiting but I'm curious to know if it's just the city limits or surrounding areas as well. I live in Columbus but can get 4G at work in Dublin/Hilliard too.

I was in Troy/Piqua yesterday. Sorry no yummy 4G lovin' up that far. Ironically, the wife and I both had to restart our phones when we came back to Dayton before they would resume 4G service. Hopefully the next bug fix will resolve that.
I'm in the Cincinnati Hamilton area, had 4g since day 1. Glad to see Dayton join [email protected] dexter, I have an extra t- bolt laying around I been wanting to try to flash to cricket. If you dont mind getting ahold of me for a how to that would be great, if not that's cool to.

I second this, great price every month, tho verizon with my company discount is honestly about the same, but the 3G/4G was terrible, and everyone trying to sell me that in home cell module thing, that only helps phone calls, because it would fix my "4G" and therefor I shouldn't leave them. Left them same day for a Thunderbolt with verizon, and in there survey asking why I left, I explained that every employee I talked to was a moron.
Did I also mention I had a Sprint "Manager" start cursing me out because I called him an idiot for telling me the only way I can get 4G is to have my phone off for about 12 hours straight every day?
seriously the worst provider ever. AT&T was better than Sprint, and I told them that
You made out on that trade even with the money involved. Congrats!

I'm in Jonesboro AR. Jonesboro was one of the first places on Alltel to get EvDO back in the day. I guess Verizon has pretty much forgotten about Jonesboro AR.
Hell most if the cities surrounding Knoxville have it. Oak ridge for example.
They had actually turned it on at 2am Monday morning... I thought it was a test but it stayed on!! We weren't supposed to get it for a few more days too!
Best speed test I had was 20mbs down and 9mbs up.

They provided a list of who they said would get LTE by the end of 2011. Memphis was on the list. When I bought my Bolt, the salesman in Cordova told me that we'd have LTE by the end of June. LIAR! lol
I can guarantee however that you will get it when you get it. 100% sure of that.

Hey Thunderbolt users! I currently have a Droid Incredible and my upgrade is due in 3 weeks. I was thinking of getting a 4G device and the Thunderbolt would have to be the best out and I don't care for the Bionic. I hate Motorola.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was a Thunderbolt user in the Arlington/Mansfield, TX area that could tell me about the 4G coverage. Is it spotty, slow, etc? I know Dallas/Ft. Worth has 4G coverage (and extended signal areas according to the verizon website), but I don't think I live close enough reach just the Dallas/Ft. Worth signal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you don't have 4G yet wait for the HTC vigor to come. It's gonna blow the thunderbolt away.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I'm trying to find out if my area is covered or not and I think I'm waiting for the vigor anyway. I guess I'll just have to go ask the Verizon guys this week. Do you happen to know when the vigor is colony out? I heard fall, but you know rumors.

I'm in the DC area, haven't gotten to try my GS3 on the Metro (maybe tonight), but if it's anything like when I had my T-Mobile G2, the GS3 should work even better. In some of the busier stations my G2 would actually get full "4G" service, so I'm assuming that my Verizon GS3 would get full service as well since Verizon was already a working network in the Metro system well before they started adding cell stations for other carriers to work.
I'm in NOVA but travel to DC often, you shouldn't worry at all man. I get full 4g on the metro and mostly everywhere else in DC.

Used mine up in DC a few days ago, 4G was perfect
So how long did your area (City/Town) take to fully turn on your 4G? Reason I'm asking is because today all day I had 4G which I was shocked to see because I'm not in a 4G area. Obviously this means that they are testing it I would assume?

I'm over in Oregon and there is still no 4G i my area. From what I heard is that Verizon contracted a company to lay the cables and then they sub contracted it to Century Link. Well CL dropped the ball and now we have to wait even longer for 4G.
