Active in Bloomington / Normal too, occurred overnight!
Meanwhile.....
Thriving metropolises like Fostoria, OH have had it most of the year now. Technology doesn't seem to reach IL very fast. Huge portions of that state still don't have EVDO.
so what gives?... how do we know when 4G is going to be available if Verizon says they don't have that information?....
I'm in San Diego county and have been waiting 7 months now for 4G. Ill occasionally hear that some 4G update is coming soon & people here making posts when they have it.. but still.. ghetto 3G for me.
is there even a way to find out or just wait around until we either suddenly notice our phone says 4G or get an announcement email from Verizon?
oh and speaking of thriving metrpolis'... how come I have a cousin that lives in a tiny town of like 20,000 people and has 4G, and I live in a place 500,000 people and no 4G....
damn you Verizon and your false advertising!....

What did you expect? 4G everywhere as soon as the Tbolt went on sale? They're basically building a new network from the ground up. Verizon doesn't send out emails welcoming people to 4Gland. It usually just happens overnight. Here in Ohio, its almost impossible to avoid LTE inside a city. Even a small one like fostoria, OH. Some places won't see it for years yet. It's not false advertising. I didn't expect to see it where I'm at anytime soon, then they started doing nightly testing and it was live in a month. You just have to relax your expectations.
I live near downtown san diego. I get great 4G service typically but when I go to places like escondido, other does suck. Ive been told by multiple reps that 4G will be nationwide by end of 2012.

I'm in the Quad Cities which is one of the areas that was supposed to get it on the 15th of this month. I've seen my phone connect a couple/few times but not for very long at all. I've done a couple speed tests too and it would only come back as like 5 or 6 meg down which can't be right. Anyone else in this area having similar issues? I've tried different radios on my phone and still the same thing...

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

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?

Anybody see a press release for this on where it is coming? I would love to see it in Springfield, MA! I doubt it though as I haven't seen it come on for "testing" as some other cities have.
Would love for Portland, OR to be one of them.

I've seen a couple of postings that folks around here (Portland) have had 4G on and off over the past couple weeks. Was in a VZW corporate store (Bridgeport) the other day and the tech person noted that it had been on and off lately--she assumed for testing.
It's been on at PDX for sometime, as I'm sure you know. I hope the signal spreads to SW of the city where I am.

I don't think that's it. Expect to see the vast majority of cities from the initial update to the LTE coverage list (not this most recent one) receive their connectivity on Thursday. And expect a lot more of those mini-press releases. They'll probably do one for each major area that gets 4G LTE turned on.
edit: Like I said, they've already got two more tweets up with areas that are getting it, plus two more mini-press releases.

Flint, MI, my home town, is one of the cities on that initial list I referred to. I have a feeling they'll light it up on Thursday, which is the same day I'm heading home for Easter. I'm gonna have to come up with some money for a Thunderbolt quick, haha.
I'm really curious to see what kind of LTE signal strength I get at my home, though. Currently, I get an average of 1 bar of signal strength on 3G. In one corner of my upstairs bedroom, 2 bars. Downstairs there are dead zones everywhere (including for voice. Mom still doesn't understand that she needs to stay in one place when she calls me on her cell phone from home, or else I can't hear her!). My understanding is that 4G LTE has a bit more range to it than 3G, and that you'll still get decent transfer rates when you have low signal strength due to the different way LTE sends data packets. I really hope I can finally get some decent data speeds at my house now.
I wonder what the I-78 corridor is, does that mean they are covering the highway between the 3 cities? Because I thought they were covering the whole area of the cities so it would be one big blob. The only other meaning I can infer is that they plan to cover I-78 for the extra 15-20 miles or so from easton to where their NYC coverage runs out. I guess we'll see exactly what happens on the 21st, I can't wait.

Great news for the people of Colorado Springs, Colorado. 4G has hit different parts of the city. I was driving up at have hit 4G twice. 4G is still spotty and will be released to the entire city, with an official release by the end of the year. You can find 4G coverage in parts of Briargate (locals will know this area) and parts of downtown. I only had 4G for a matter of minutes, but after being with Denver and messing around with 4G I am very excited to have LTE in the area.
I'm jealous. Where I work in Northglenn (about 6 miles north of downtown Denver) I had 4G for a good two weeks but it has disappeared.

That's what I'm hoping too.....its just around the corner and I am surprised Colo Spgs, is getting it so early.
I was under the impression that VZ stated in an official release (prior to the TB release) that COS was getting 4G in the first half of 2011. So I'm not so sure we can call this early...but I'm excited to see it fully implemented.
From what I hear from a buddy, Ft Collins is just about to be turned on full time, hopefully both cities get flipped on together. Wish Verizon wasn't so "hush hush" about proposed dates.

Just read in the heraldsun.com, VZW just announced 4G available in the Raleigh/Durham area on July 21.
I will be in Durham all week, can't wait for it to go live. Also saw the Winston Salem post that's its going live. I live in Winston and glad I will hopefully not have to go back to 3g when I get home.

Good for you guys! We've had it here in Charlotte for quite a while and it really does live up to all the hype. The LTE handsets actually get better speeds than our LTE modems at work. My brother-in-law lives in Cary, so I'm hoping it's included in the coverage area.
Anyone actually seen 4g kick in yet. I am right next to duke university and still on 3g. Figured it would be active if it was actually happening today. 6 pm local time.

So I wonder when the "new" towers are supposed to go live...my service couldn't be any worse the past few weeks both in rtp and apex, apex being so bad I get 450-500kb down on 3g, all phones not just tbolt
So this supports the suggestion that it'll be up this week, but coming along with some trouble, I'm curious if others are seeing the same.
I had 4g for a good 3 hours this morning at work in Zebulon, got anywhere between 11 and 18 mbps down via speakeasy. That I assume was them cycling/testing towers some more. Problem is, for the last 2 hours I've had no data at all, no 3g, not even text messaging. Seem to have voice signal but that's it. Anybody else seen the same this morning?

Durham/Morrisville seems to be fine when it comes to 4G. The download speeds are pretty sub-par from what I've seen reported before in other LTE areas (getting about 4-4.5mbps), but I'm assuming they are just testing the network today and have it limited a bit. 3G seems to be messing up with slow speeds/connectivity issues but voice is alright.
