Got off work and when I go home that little 4G was on! I did about 8 speed tests and the highest was almost 16 mgs. Averaged about 10. Wow, this rocks!

Good to hear, I'll be there in a week and it'll be my first 4G experience on my Thunderbolt. I hoped it would go live before the 16th.

Now that we have had our phones for a few weeks is anyone else out there amazed at how good the coverage is on the new 4G network. Coming from Sprint with the EVO I am just amazed. Been two 3 different 4G cities in 3 states and have been impressed everywhere. Anyone else?

man i wish i were in a 4g area. sadly, i only have 3g here in northwest indiana but chicago has 4g so i am hoping that 4g will be here within the end of the year.
how does 3g compare to 4g for you?

I travel between NY and Philadelphia for work on weekly bases and basically have nonstop 4G coverage.
the entire east coast of FL is blanketed with 4g and working there way west
unfortunately my house is in the grey area
its honestly the biggest cell phone revolution since 3G lol... its really incredible.
I had 4G for about 10 minutes yesterday morning, then they turned it off. I was pissed. Guess they were testing. I hope that means they're going to light it up soon.
I was only pulling about 4.5-6.5 Mb/s.

It will be that way for 4 weeks or so, thats what they did here. They will up the speeds also after they load test etc. After that period of time they just leave it on

Lol I live in the heart of Boston downtown to be precise and there's 4g everywhere here. Am very impress but I feel like when ever my phone drops 4g for whatever reason 3g seems so slow now. But some time I have to force the phone to 3g just conserve battery that's a damn shame Verizon because 4g is amazing. But Verizon still have to optimize the yell out of it beside the battery drain some time it hangs before starting to download data or load a page, got embarrass trying to show off to a friend. But no problem with 4g here wow you guys without 4g are definitely missing out but at least you got the unlimited 4g plan before it they change it.

Same situation here.... :/
,
I am right in the city of chicago but outside downtown. I had sprint and the evo and their 4g was seriously terrible. Could only get a poor connection when the phone was balanced on the window ledge with the window open. The 4g would not go through the newer vinyl windows. I also could never get a signal inside most other buildings. I could literally only get it reliably when I was totally out in the open (even outside my house at ground level I could not get a connection). So, wimax on sprint's frequency sucks. I paid my $140 etf and switched to verizon where I pay $10 less per month f*** sprint.
verizon LTE 4g coverage is just amazing. Im on it right now in an interior room of my apartment nowhere near a window. I get 4g everywhere I go, I am never nervous about the connection dropping. This is how a network should function. Sprint is just awful and i will never use them again in my life. I would seriously get a land line before I got sprint wireless again. Verizon is so impressive to me.

I spoke to a rep yesterday saying that Syracuse will be online with Verizon LTE by the end of June - about ten minutes ago I had 4G LTE signal with approx 10 Mb/s DL and 5 Mb/s UL. It lasted for about 5 minutes and then went back to 3G. My guess is they are going through final base-station/radio testing before turning it on.
I've been posting for the past 3 months about 4G being on once in a while in Syracuse.
Even had it in Watertown last week for 15 minutes.
Life is good, and is getting better!
4G in watertown...never thought that place would see 4g lol

Yup, towers were upgraded last summer. :-D

My parents live outside of Binghamton and I when I go to visit I go through Albany. I think they need to show some love in the Southern Tier but Syracuse is getting very close. That being said, I want to get some towers up here in Maine but that isnt likely any time soon.
yeah I've been hearing June or July since winter so I'm hopeful... and it's nice to see others on here from Syracuse!
It popped on and off a few days ago in Syracuse.
Edit. Just repeating what op said. Didn't realize syr had this many.
I'd like to see it in Rome. Haha

Nice. I live in Rome for the time being until I finish my degree and move to Rochester. Btw... 4g in Rochester is lightning fast.

I wouldn't be surprise if they had it at the border in Massena, they have it at the border in Alex Bay, too.

I work near Downtown Syracuse and my 4G icon appeared again this morning, this time for a bit longer than it did earlier in the month. My business rep. did tell me LTE will be here by the end of summer (this was back in like February)... whenever I see "4G" pop up on my phone, I email her as she has a TBolt. She doesn't confirm anything, but does say that if I am getting LTE connectivity, that is a good sign that they are testing and the activation is coming soon!
I wonder how far out of Syracuse it will reach. I have family in Pennellville and Central Square.
Does anyone currently have the Skyrocket in the Phoenix area? I'm curious about data speeds compared to my Infuse without lte yet. I currently get an average of 3.5+ down and 2.5 +/- up.

I live in Tempe, and I'm buying both the Skyrocket and the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE tomorrow, so I'll run some speeds tests and let you know.
I used to have a GS2 (HSPA+), and the software limited only the browser being able to utilize full HSPA+. On that phone, in good signal areas, I saw 6-11Mbps down and 1-1.5Mbps up. I'm hoping the software on the Skyrocket is better! I can't wait until AT&T gives phoenix LTE!
Well, ive had it only for a day, but my speeds have been good. 3.2-4.7mbps down and 1.5mbps up. My house doesnt get the best signal. Will update Tuesday when I'm at the office, where i tend to get my best speeds.

My bad for not getting back to you yesterday. Busy Day. At work yesterday I saw 6-9Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up. Better than at home. Like in said I've seen as high as 11Mbps down on the GS2. Just depends on your area. Will be awesome when we get LTE!

On my way home tonight, noticed the LTE icon for the first time on my skyrocket. I am close to the Phoenix Airport. Great download speeds!! AT&T hasn't even announced LTE service out here yet - so this was a big surprise! Here is a screen shot.

Can't believe these speeds. Downloaded Angry Birds from the market in about 2-3 seconds. Incredible!!

Check this speed out. Over 60mbps
i just looked on my phone and it said lte, ran a speed test and im getting 20 down and up. im so happy.
Where are you at exactly? I'm in Monroeville, about 10 miles east of downtown, and my speeds are pathetic.

Just came to say the same. I'm in Shaler, and just got 35 megs down and 15 up... much faster than my FiOS. Sweet!
