I am making a move to las vegas i was wondering if any one was out there that could let me in on how the cell coverage is and if the 4g is up and running well out there? any info besides the basic verizon map would be appreciated.
Thank you !

i was in Vegas in May and the 4G service was horrendous. There was coverage everywhere and I always had 2 bars at least, but the data connection wouldnt pass any data. I spent the whole weekened on 3G because of the horrendous spotty 4G service.
We met up with a buddy who lives in Vegas who had recently got a TB. He could not stand the phone. He kept talking about crying to Verizon so he could get a Iphone4... I was like, "BUT BUT 4G!!!" and then I realized the 4G barely works for him.
I dunno, maybe its better now.
4G is developed and fast in Las Vegas. 10 - 17Mbps down and 7 - 10Mbps up is my experience. Keep in mind that this is in North Las Vegas.

Thanks for the info, we are south of the strip hopefully the service will be decent. Thanks again everyone!
I was in Downtown Vegas for a week and the 4G was great, I used it to tether while in the room.
I live in Las Vegas and Verizon has the best coverage. I have had T-mobile, Att and Sprint. 4G is ok. Best around the freeways. I live in the (South of the 215) Southwest and the coverage for 4g is spotty but better than anything else I have had. Most major areas have good 4g Coverage.

Same exact thing I thought it was the rom I was using....like may 19th or so around then....how funny it drove me nuts
i was there for edc and 4g sucked on the strip and sucked at the motorspeedway (but to be fair with 100,000 people all the services sucked).
Was also there last week and once again it sucked all along the strip..

Ha ha yeah. It is. So far the only speeds that match it is Fios (and docsis3.0 speeds). but they don't have that everywhere.
I guess I should clarify.. I dont give a crap about anything faster than 5mb down...it's upload speeds that matter to me.
Cablemodem speeds. Road Runner btw
T-bolt.
This is GREAT NEWS!! I live in Racine ...just south of Milwaukee wonder if this means we will have it soon?! I work in Zion ,Ill and have 4g there. Anyways ...thanks for the heads up!
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.

All of downtown, the third ward, and the airport have had it for at least the few weeks that I've had my TB. I dropped my wife off at the airport a couple weeks ago at around 5am. Pulled 28.8, 25, and 22 DL on separate tries. I picked her up in the afternoon the next day and got 10-15 DL. Very impresssed.

There has been 4g in Milwaukee since the tb was released. It has been my experience that it goes west about to 35th and south to around College. I do occasionally get 4g going more south and west but it seems to be strongest in dt Milwaukee.
i'm in Waukesha. Considering buying this phone.

4G is trash...at least for me...I live in Greenfield and even in strong areas of 4G coverage I cannot complete a single large download...tried different handsets, SIM cards, ROMs and radios...it's the towers.
Not impressed and wish I kept my Droid Incredible

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.
Same here but I live in the city of Milwaukee

am i the only one who wonders why Verizon has added no lte to Virginia...not VA beach Richmond or north VA...any idea why?
There is 4g in Richmond, and DC I believe. I was at Busch Gardens yesterday and I had 4G. After the tunnel 4G died.
Shoot I'm in northeast Ohio and we have none. My buddy lives in chesapeake Va actually on landing creek and he has natelos wireless if I spelled that right and said his phone speed is soo slow. I told him that Verizon should have LTE there, but I guess I was bullshing LOL. Oh well.

really? I was at Busch gardens on Saturday, and not only did I not have 4g, I barely had 3g.
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.

I guess it is good for us here in Richmond that VCU went to the Final Four.
I believe he is telling the truth. I have seen a lot of Verizon workers at tower sites around Richmond lately.

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.

The cities included in this initial wave are Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Although users in those metro areas will still have very few LTE devices to choose from. Unlike Verizon, which has multiple LTE handsets, AT&T has no phones compatible with the new network. AT&T launched a data stick and a portable hotspot for the LTE network last month. The carrier has also started selling a massively overpriced Android tablet, the HTC Jetstream.
sweet im in San Antonio for a little while, now for AT&T to get some phones for me to use !!!
Now if they could hurry up and increase the HSPA+ speeds. I'm still only getting 3.5mb download and 1mb upload in downtown Dallas.... iPhone 3gs gets about the same download speed, although only half of the upload speed.
Come to the other side of the Metroplex. Downtown Fort Worth and I am getting 5-7mb down, 1.1-1.3 up. I can't wait for the Holiday with LTE. That will be SO sweet.

I know the Inspire is not a LTE phone, but just launching the network upgrade has helped me to see vastly improved data speeds. I also know the Speed test app is not accurate, but I have never seen it pull these kind of speeds, especially consistently.
Well, I would like if it came out in Madison soon... (and when AT&T has more LTE Android phones)

As mentioned, you would need a LTE phone first. But, being an hour away from Houston, I wouldn't run out and buy one when they become available. I live in the outskirt of Houston and HSPA+ is non existent at home. In Houston where I work, as posted, I am just now seeing the true benefit of HSPA+. Probably some bottlenecks from ongoing upgrades being freed up, maybe a little congestion as well.

Knowing how AT&T operates, I'd imagine they opened up more bandwidth to the land-based lines to the area first to make sure their LTE debut went well and you're just seeing some of that extra bandwidth.

I'm not as stupid as you. I know when I'm on wifi. Here is the proof.
Here are some from earlier today. The first two were indoors, a large metal building with offices above on the second floor. The first run was bad, only 2800kbps, but I did hit 4916kbps on the second. I then went outdoors and tested a lil slower than yesterday, but not by much, 6485-7767kbps. I know we can't put too much stock in the Speed Test app, but there is some consistency and I'm getting much higher runs than I had been. Also, it seems to be reading my wifi at home with some accuracy.

Show me where I made that statement. I stated that since the LTE launch, my data speeds have suddenly increased and I'm finally seeing true hspa+, and that is a fact. I provided a couple of possible reasons for this, as someone else cited a possibility as well. I know what you saw. You saw the hosted by Comcast in the screenshot. Lol. Anybody with half a brain would know that there would have been a wifi icon in the status bar if I was on wifi. Next time you open your mouth, try not to put your foot in it. Your little signature says it all. Just because you are in a crummy area, doesn't mean it is like that everywheres.
Check my screenshot of prior tests and tell me if you see any improvement compared to yesterday and today. LOL.

I'm good. I just don't appreciate someone implying I'm either stupid or I'm a liar. It certainly isn't inconceivable that while AT&T was building the LTE network here in Houston, they were improving the backhaul for hspa+. Whatever the source of the improvement, I'm thrilled to see true hspa+ speeds. It is something I never expected to see with my Inspire.

I am just curious of other people experience with T-Mobile's reception in Scottsdale or Phoenix Arizona. I have been with T-Mobile for many years with many phones and I always have had this problem, I know this is the G2x forum, but I am using a G2x so guess it is ok to ask here. Almost any department store I go into I lose my T-Mobile signal. I see many other people on their phones talking with no trouble at all. As soon as I leave the store my signal goes right back up to full.
See my sig for my phone info.
