Can we start one? Just info people are hearing about LTE coming to their area.
I'll start by adding that I am in a HSPA+ area Danbury, Connecticut. I get anywhere from 3-6 mbps download speed. The mayor on his twitter account said AT&T is testing in the area, and that it will be here sooner rather than later. When I went to FCC Spectrum Dashboard, I found that AT&T has two 700Mhz towers registered for Bridgeport, Danbury, and Stamford.

I'd love to see if AT&T has a planned roadmap or something. All I know is full rollout by 2013. Verizon got LTE into my area (Fresno, CA) in the middle of June. That's about 3-4 months after the Thunderbolt came out. If AT&T followed that, it would be coming soon, but I've heard nothing.
I get 3 to 5 with 3g in Melissa, TX. 16mbps with HSPA+. When I go into the city it's 26 to 56mbps.
We are not just north of Dallas. We are Melissa, TX.

I have never gotten more than 16-18 in Los Angeles or Phoenix.
Living in Minnesota, a Non LTE area for AT&T I hadn't experienced it on my Skyrocket . However I had to travel to KC for the weekend and put the SR through a string of tests. All I can say is HOLY HELL, LTE is amazing. Here is a screen capture of many of the tests.
I have isolated one of the tests, if accurate is unbelievable. I tested in Northern KC to Downtown to out in the suburbs like Independence.
Any info on lte in central Arkansas? More specifically Conway? I've heard rumors..

I live in Corning, about 5 hours west of NYC. Get ATT '4G' HSPA... not HSPA+.
Get about 5MB down and 1.2MB up on a good day.. normally it's like 2.5 down and 1 up though. Can't wait until I get to go to NYC and test out the LTE there.
The fact that ATT has just started rolling out LTE means that when you DO get a signal, it will be extremely nice as not a lot of people are utilizing it yet. Also, you'll get LTE in areas that don't officially have it yet (as they're in the middle of rolling out the network) which is always a nice surprise.
I was in Queens few weeks ago and got to try LTE. I got between 23-30Mbps with 3 bars. Can't wait for Connecticut to get LTE.
I was at my moms work, just waiting for her to get her check, and randomly did a speedtest.
64 down, 23 up.
I'll post a SS later, since I'm at school using the computers, and don't have my cable on me.
I'm in Houston and average around 18 Mbps down/10Mbps up. Highest I've seen here was 35 Mbps at the airport. LTE coverage is pretty good all over the metropolitan area, and HSPA+ speeds are usually around 8 Mbps where LTE isn't available.

^^^ THIS. I got ridiculously fast speeds here in Orlando as well. Faster then my broadband cable modem at home. lol .. Not sure if it's because the network itself is super fast, or there just aren't that many people using LTE here yet...Probably a little of both.
only getting around 3 d 1u here in boulder,co, but im moving to hawaii in 6months so hopefully they'll be increasing speeds there

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

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.

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

my speeds kind of doubled. I'm in the east bay (Fremont, near San Jose) i only had 1 bar but managed a steady 3.4mbps down and 1.2mbps up. I usually get half of that with 1 bar of 4g reception. I did not test while I was out and about today, but Fremont was not one of the 55 cities.
i need to speedtest once i get back into the city (SF), but unfortunately in big cities the data demand is consistently high, so a boost may not be noticed, but I'm sure it'll increase data speed stability.
Looking good so far tho!

I'm not from LA, Just visiting. I'm getting 2 to 6Mbps here. I guess you could say that's not bad, but the answer to the OP question is I haven't noticed any increase in the last couple days. From what I have experienced, TMO is advertising "AMERICA's LARGEST 4G NETWORK" When actually its truly only a 3.5G network in selected markets neglecting the majority of the rest of the country and leaving us with an unreliable 2G network. At least some of the other providers can say they have a large portion of the country covered by at least 3G. TMO does have a good looking woman spouting their lies for them though.

thats a can that doesnt need to be opened. there is no "TRUE" 4G tech thats readily deployed right now.
I dont care what they call it. They can call its it worms for all i care lol. 4-10mbps is fast enough for any mobile application.
And last thing, all of these are theoretical speeds are in perfect conditions, no loads, etc. I dont think any of these supposed breakneck speeds VZ, ATT, Tmob, or Sprint advertises will actually happen in real world use. 42mbps? Yeah right TMob!! Ive never seen over 11mbps on TM or Sprint 4G.
Wow it's a Bay Area party in here! I live and work in Oakland but go to SF State and will check my MT4G speeds today when I leave the house.

the speeds at state are random - as backed up by Tmo's own coverage map. you're much better off testing it at Stones Town.
If I were you, I would keep the MT4G. I regret exchanging mine for the SGS4G.
I am seeing about a 3-5mbps increase in tulsa. I average around 15 and before was around 12.
Funny thing is, started testing yesterday... They must have forgotten to do Chicago, even though it is listed. I'm right down town in the loop, at least my speeds are consistant... 1.09 down and 0.25 up. If anything, I am seeing a major speed de-crease. Hell, In naperville, IL, I have speed tests clocked from several months a go, 1 at 7.1 Mbps down and 3.4 Mbps up. Currently in naperville, tests range from 1 Mbps down all the way up to 7.3 Mbps down.
Chicago, no go. I sent tmo a tweet asking what the deal was and if they accidently included chicago in the list or if it is broken already... 24 hours later, they ignored the comment...probably because they know its true.
I love tmo...but seriously, whats with all they hype if theyre not gonna stand by it, everywhere mentioned in the press release.
-been w/ tmo for 7 or so years now, right after they changed over from voice stream. I dont plan on leaving, just wondering where our love is here in Chicago and surrounding areas.

LTE confirmed here in Milwaukee, although the official day isn't until tomorrow. I've noticed my phone swapping between 4G and 3G while in doors, but outside it stays solid on LTE. My speeds are about 9-10 down and 5-6 up. Nice!

I remember this month was supposed to be the massive Wisconsin rollout, and im sure most of us arent complaining it was 2 days early lol.. Oddly enough I just tested the 4G against my WiFi connection off my road runner with turbo boost, and the LTE smokes it
LTE kicked on at 4:50 PM today in Lansing, MI, and it's also live in East Lansing, MI. I've seen speeds as high as 18 Mb/sec down and 4 Mb/sec up right at the state capitol building, and 24 Mb/sec down and 3.5 Mb/sec up at my apartment in East Lansing. Signal strength here is fluctuating from 2 and 4 bars, but everything is really damn fast. I'm streaming HD Netflix right now when I can't even do that on my wired connection here, haha!
Maybe it's just me, but my battery life is not that bad at all. In fact, thus far based on this week's performance it hasn't been any worse than 3G. This could be because I am in-doors and the phone occasionally drops back to 3G for short periods of time, but I recall my phone going dead in 6-7 hours when they first started turning on LTE for testing last month. Could the dreaded battery drain have been a LTE network issue and not a Thunberbolt/call phone issue?
Please report back your battery life!
I've typically made it through my work day (9-5) and returned home with 65-70% battery left before LTE kicked on. It is just before 2:00 PM now, and I'm looking at my Thunderbolt and seeing 51% battery life remaining.
Unless my phone is playing a cruel joke, I'm on 4G right now.

It was just announced the past day or two that LTE is going to be active in Springfield and Kansas City MO starting November 17th. Verizon is probably running the necessary field tests to make sure that their network buildout in those area's can handle the traffic, etc hence the reason you are probably on 4G right now.
Haven't been to Springfield to test, but I was in St. Louis over the weekend and got some pretty amazing speeds there.
Up to 40Mbps, the Internet was flying by so fast, I didn't know what to do with all the speed. XD
I just got 4G the other day for the first time on my Charge in Nixa, MO
Jealous. The 4g in the STL area has become quite saturated.
Yep, 4G is up and running fine in Nixa! 22.4 Mbps down, 16.4 Mbps up. Speedtests are consistent at those speeds
HTC Thunderbolt and Motorola Droid Bionic
Should have mentioned this when Verizon told me but...
4G LTE just went live in Kansas City, MO.
Was previously told that it would go live today (November 7th), 10 days earlier than the planned November 17th date. Pretty awesome. Getting decent speeds here.
4.5mbps down in 4g in okc. While in small town outside of okc on hspa+ I get 8-10mbps down. What a joke ATT. Y'all are really sucking. Going to be looking at Verizon soon.

depending on your time and location; I've beaten my co-workers' iphone 4 and two iphone4s on speedtest.net's app. but you have to factor the load of the network stop putting blame.
two iphone4's on AT&T , one iphone4 on VZW. only the vzw iphone4 was matching closest to speeds like mine.
4g or 4g lte? Big Big difference if its one or the other. I average 3-5 megs down on 4g here in Conway. I've peaked at over 10 megs down a few times though. We haven't gotten lte upgrades on our towers yet but when we do I expect I'll see 20+ megs down at least!
In Philly,
depending on the day, the time, the location, whether I wear my socks, etc...I can get between 1 and 9 mbps down, 1-3 up.
In South Jersey at my folks (who live in the woods), I can get 4-5 down. 3 miles away out on the marsh, I get over 10.
LTE-long term evolution. Suuucks....actually its ATT.

I average 25 mbps down in dallas on ATT LTE. When i drove through OKC i was getting about 15 down. Having used Verizon, i hate their coverage and their service. If you dont get their LTE, their 3g is 1mbps tops. I dont understand why everyone bashes on ATT.
Edit:
And Verizon's LTE is about 12 average on a good day. Peak of 18, low of 5.
how can anyone complain about 4.5 mbps down on their phone ???
goodluck with verizon, if you dont get an LTE signal your download speed is going to be less than 1mbps.

so was I . I would get 1.8mbps at my house (on 3g) on sprint but anywhere else i was that was not 4G i would get 15kpbs to about 600kpbs. It was painful.
On the 4g network (hspa+) i usually get anywhere from 3 to 9 mb/s, but when i hit the 4g lte area in NYC i see speeds anywhere from 20 mb/s on the outskirts of the city to 50+ mb/s in the center of the city, also depends on how much load is on the network. If your on a custom gingerbread rom try using the V6 supercharger 3g booster script with script manager and try playing around with the options, i usually choose the known maxed out values for the best possible speeds

That's sad.
Important thing with Att is reliability. Verizon lte was out several times in a short period of time. And you get they're crap version of 3g as a backup if that. I'm assuming all the cdma iPhone users are clogging it.
AT&T gets hspa+ as a backup if anything happens to lte, although there aren't any reports of outages with it as of yet. Enhanced 3g is more than enough for me, i use my phone to browse the internet, not tether or stream.
