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

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.

Some one mentioned 4g in Watertown..awesome...maybe i'll see it here in Potsdam next year,but i'm not gonna hold my breath!
I went to school in potsdam..surprised that place even had 3g

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.

Which cities? I live in hazleton which is due for 4g on the 21st, and I haven't noticed the 4g tests periods at all yet

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?

Anyone happen to know if it will go as far east as Reading?

4g just turned on in pardeesville tonight, which is on the outskirts of hazleton. Got 9.1 mbps down.

Good to see someone else from my neck of the woods!
I remember Verizon saying they'd get to everyone by '13. They have it at my work in Paoli, but not in Exton...

AT&T appears to have flipped the switch on LTE in Seattle. After work today I noticed the little LTE symbol, ran a speed test, and was getting 40mbps down, 20 up. Not bad!
Awesome

Are you sure that it is truly live? I've seen the LTE icon light up on my phone for a couple of days and then go away as if they were testing it out.
I live in Bothell, and I am getting lte at home, but I work in Tacoma and still only pull 4G there, any idea if Tacoma will go live as well?

No clue. I didn't even know they were flipping the switch in Seattle until I looked at my phone.
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 get anywhere from 40 - 50 mbps 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.

I hate to say it, but the iPhone helped with this issue. A lot of new towers were brought online for their 4G launch.

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.

Haha. Can't answer these. Had full time 4G in Houston since Tbolt was released. Have to drive 50 miles to find 3G.
Well seems like my city is lit up I've held 4G all day and I love it! I'm in cali in the high desert so its super exciting to finally have it. Honestly don't even wanna turn wifi on :beer:

Hear that. Have unlimited data. No reason to ever use wifi as long as 4G is hot. :laugh:
I have had my GSIII for appox 3 weeks now. I had a galaxy nexus, and i was very impressed with the LTE speeds at about 32MBPS!
Well i have beat that speed, by a land slide. Post your speeds!

The best I ever got on my GS3 is in my sig. Usually about a little less than half that much on AVG.
Ive got about 40/20 before but usually its around 20/15 for me

Best I have had was 60 down and 25 up! 4G was super fast that night.

47/21 for me,
avg is 30/10
The best I have in my SpeedTest history is 33/14.5.
What I'm most proud of is what I get at home. I'm in a really fringe area. Turn left or right out of my complex and go about a few hundred feet and you're in a dead zone. It's kinda hilly so my house must be in a sweet spot.
Anyway, with my Galaxy Nexus I would average about 4/1.5. I would occasionally see 5-6/2 but not often. And as soon as I even looked at my phone it would drop to 3g. With my GS3 my best speed at home with the phone in the same spot as GNex was 21/4! I average 15/5 there usually. Not too shabby considering I am way out in the boonies.
About 35/20 is the best I've seen, but I only really tested it when I first got a 4g phone.
35-40 in the good areas. 20-28 avg. 10-12 in some bad areas.
It's funny how we have been spoiled with the fast speeds. I feel let down when mine is below 20mbps. I would have killed for those speeds in the 3g days.
12/6 with full bars. Rarely is it better than 25/10. The LTE blows here. My buddys TMo S3 gets 25/15 constantly.
I got 64mbps down.

You'll really have to be careful with your data cap. My LTE at home makes me wish my cable modem was as fast. Sucks having to go on WiFi now.

I've been as high as 66 down but usually around 60-64 down is normal. This is a normal screen shot from home.
Don't know what's wrong with the upload speed.

I average about 55/25 at home and 35/10 at work. To be fair if I had a decent slingshot I could nail my VZW tower from my backyard.
My best is 15 down. Average is like 4.. lol
just deleted my logs but...
My area just went 4g 3 weeks ago and outdoors I'm averaging around 30Mbps/16Mbps.
Indoors it's more like 13/4.
I'm happy but I'm sure Verizon is getting annoyed with my unlimited data usage in the SpeedTest app!!
