I was in Durham yesterday and today till about 10am and never went into 4g. It supposed to go live Thursday there and here at my house in Winston Salem. I've had it go live a. Puppet times in the last month and averaged 16 megs down and about 5 up. Looking forward to them getting it going.
Dumb me forgot that I set it to cdma only this morning to try and save battery since I forgot my car charger. Just swapped over and instantly got 4g here in Winston. Only getting 10 megs down at my house but considering I live in a hole and only got about 400 k down on 3g I would say its a noticeable improvement.

My mom's Charge is holding the 4G data connection just fine. My Thunderbolt is still dropping it... rather annoying.

You will see periods of LTE in 4G areas that are scheduled to launch this year before it is fully turned on and announced i have seen this happen in Olympia WA as well which is the next scheduled area to launch this year for WA

switch your phone to LTE mode. mine rarely/never switches to LTE anywhere in my city, but when I set it to LTE mode it switches right away as long as there is coverage.
Weird weird! They must have only been testing a small area. Traveled (on Sunday) about 3 miles from my home and the 4G LTE connection was gone. By 10PM that same day it was gone altogether.

That's why everyone gets married early here, and believe me from what I've heard, kids here are just as screwed up as everywhere else lmao. If they don't get it up here I'll at least have it in in a few months when I move to NYC.

Dayton, OH 4G LTE up and running!!

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.

you only get 1x internet on cricket if you flash over a thunderbolt. Not really worth it. It will be almost useless.

Wilkes-Barre, PA is up and running since this morning. Here is hoping they don't turn it back off. It was on for a couple weeks before the announce date in the Allentown/Lehigh area also. I got 8mbps down on a quick test. Just upgraded the MIFI to a 4g MIFI too.
Scranton has been up since this morning... Nice speeds too..
Hopefully we can get some 4g love here in Western, PA as well.
Well I saw hazleton mentioned on the same bracket as wb/ scranton so I hope they just takin longer cuz its further east. How does the phone transition to 4g when on WiFi? Or you wouldn't notice cuz its not using WiFi instead of tower connections?

[Q] 4G Coverage- Arlington/Mansfield, TX

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.

Yes you will get 4g coverage in that area.

I live right on the boarder of those two cities and I get great 4G. So you should be set. Although I can't guarantee anything if you live out in the far depths of Mansfield.

I get 4G basically from Dallas to just east of Aledo, and from Lake Worth area (820 and Jacksboro) down to Ball Park and 30 in Arlington. Haven't gone much further south than that while looking though.

No worries. There are a few 3G areas in there of course, but they're minimal at best.

4G LTE

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 had never noticed them testing in my area (Duluth, mn) until the day they said it was scheduled to be turned on.

Yeah I didn't think they did but this is the second time in the last month that it's been switched on for a bit and then just randomly goes away. Speeds were amazing today though when It was on :thumbup:

In my town it has taken over a year yo get good 4g service from Verizon. A yr ago I had to put my phone in the Window to get one bar of 4g ad now today I get full service anywhere in my place. The best download speed I have gotten was 19mbps.. But that was at night and the network wasn't loaded down

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.
4G was on when I moved here. Awesome signal everywhere!! That's what I love about living near D.C.

This is true. I wish Apple would have implemented NFC in the iPhone 5. You know if they would have, it would soon be supported all over!! As much as we all don't like to believe it, Apple/iPhone influences a lot of technology in other fields.
