Since the launch of the very first broadband lte hotspots and the thunderbolt Oahu had lte sites in only 2 locations; Mililani Tech and near Honolulu International Airport.
I've been leaving my lte off as a daily driver and just using cdma (auto) to help save the battery. Usually every 3 days or so I try and set to lte only to test and see if VZW decided to turn on the rest of the island with lte. Woke up this morning and I had no idea what compelled me to try it but I did... BOOM I see the most magnificent icon that I've never seen in my area. That 4g lte icon. Woke me up better than coffee could ever do.
It's now all over the island. =)
That's so cool, damn I'm cover when I go over vacations lol
Just moved to Hawaii this week, and was pretty happy to see LTE up and running well ahead of the announced July 21st date. I'm noticing a huge difference between here and Pensacola/Houston/San Antonio... latency in those areas was ~100ms or less, but everywhere I've tested in Honolulu, I'm getting results around 400ms. Not that it's terribly relevant to me, but I'm curious. Any ideas why?
Yah, its been on and off for a while not. A few weeks ago they announced it was officially launching on July 31st and its been on since.
I really don't recommend leaving your phone connected to 4g... My phone lasts all of half a day, I charge it at work after lunch and again before I go to bed. I don't talk on my phone at all or play much games on it lol.
Just left oahu. When I landed 2 weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised that they had 4g.

They announced it as a target market for end of the year expansion, but to be on so soon? Hmm, I'll check when I go to Allentown this weekend.
Yup im on it right now... Speakeasy has me at a clean 40mb down, 20 up LOL...

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.
I'm in the scranton/wilkes-barre area. Wtf verizon. If they get it, so should I! LOL
Edit: see it's off now. Maybe it's coming sooner than we thought

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.
Sweet! I'm in the Emmaus area. Going to check it out soon.

I am also here in the Lehigh Valley more specifically Bethlehem and I also saw that 4G was available through my Thunderbolt however at night my phone no longer showed that 4G was available but this morning my phone is showing that I am connected to 4G again.
Getting 4G today in Allentown but not last night in Emmaus. Will try again tonight at home.
Awesome. I have yet to notice any 4G. I live on Bethlehem, but I work out in fogelsville by rt 100. Where in Bethlehem did you see it?

Im getting it throughout bethlehem.. all the way from southside up to wegmans. Its blazing! Just wish they would keep it on lol... yesterday they turned it off around 7pm. I frowned.
Most likely they're just doing rolling tests to see if there are even people connecting to 4G and to make sure the network is stable.

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'm in Kutztown/Reading. Anybody else having an issue with their 3G data around here?
Today is the first day I have gotten 4g in Greenville, sc anyone elses pop up with it today

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?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
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.
LTE in the Lehigh Valley PA was slower than a dog this morning. Literally couldnt do anything with it - 3G was way faster. FIgured it was a problem on their end and it would be fixed. I normally get 15-18 down, 5 up on speakeasy.net...
Just tried LTE to see if its fixed...now getting 35 down 6 up on speakeasy...
Guess they upgraded something???
There has been many problems with the network over the past few days. Give it some time for Verizon to work out the problems. We are Guinea pigs anyways.

Weekend of April 8/9, I was in A-Town, a mile west of Dorney Park, visiting Mom.
Downloads were 30-40mbps.. so what you are seeing isn't new to me
Oh, btw, speakeasy testing to phily gives me slower speeds than testing to Baltimore for some reason.
I work in Allentown and live in N Whitehall Township so I can speak to these issues as well.
From about yesterday around 4:30 PM until today around 2:30 PM I had 1X and even 3G wasn't stable. I figured it was my phone so I've been working with it to work out the issues but now I figure it's the network. LTE came back in Allentown around 2:30 and it was solid until I left around 4:30.
Now that I'm back up in N Whitehall Twp I've fallen back to 1X/3G and have no LTE. This is on my Bolt and on my Mifi so I figure it's maintenance.
I did have a meeting with Verizon yesterday at our office and they did mention they were doing maintenance in our area but from what I could tell it was working in Allentown this afternoon. Hopefully it comes back tonight here in NW!
living in Bethlehem right here and everything seems fine to me
Drove I476 north... lost 4g just before Villanova/St David (exit 13)... didn't have it again until I got off the turnpike in Allentown.
Have had 4g at Mom's, a couple miles west of Dorney Park...
i've been up and down on mine

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*

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??

Verizon's 4G LTE network is now up and running ahead of schedule! It was supposed to be up at the end of the month but here I get to utilize my TB to its fullest potential half a month early! So far surfing the web is amazing, Hulu and Netflix stream flawlessly and downloads fly. Now to see how bad my battery life ends up...
4G LTE with 3 bars of signal using SpeedTest.net app:
Ping - 302ms
Download - 4762kbps
Upload - 3795kbps

Grats! Now we need it in more parts of Indy (i.e. the parts I'm in, not downtown and by the airport).
Congrats! still cant get any sign of it in Noblesville.
Likewise none here either in noblesville
Seen it from indy to westfield Monday, soon as I got home no more 4G
Can't wait for this ****
Seems most of Indy is supposed to be covered now. I get a 4g signal about one block from my house but, sadly, no 4g at my house. Still, far better rollout than AT&T's "4g" service. The suburbs are probably next on the list.
the Verizon press release says 4G within the 465 loop
I had it to westfield a couple days before it was "officially" released, but now I don't!!
my guess is they attenuated the signal strength back some to limit signal loss in the burbs, who really knows, except them
http://news.vzw.com/news/2011/05/pr2011-05-23a.html
BINGO!!
got 4G LTE in westfield right now!!!
so excited, hope its at work too, in noblesville
Man, you guys are lucky. I don't even know when Indy is getting Wimax, let alone Danville and Avon.
