SO I’m going to NASCAR for 4 days at California Speedway. I though I heard that they bring mobile towers to add coverage for event like this. Does anyone know if that is true and of so do they ad 4G?
Thanks for your input!
Anyone?????
Yes they do. I can tell you from going to Texas they have portable towers everywhere, you even get full bars in the tunnels.

Did they also have 4G on those towers?

Now that we have had our phones for a few weeks is anyone else out there amazed at how good the coverage is on the new 4G network. Coming from Sprint with the EVO I am just amazed. Been two 3 different 4G cities in 3 states and have been impressed everywhere. Anyone else?

man i wish i were in a 4g area. sadly, i only have 3g here in northwest indiana but chicago has 4g so i am hoping that 4g will be here within the end of the year.
how does 3g compare to 4g for you?

I travel between NY and Philadelphia for work on weekly bases and basically have nonstop 4G coverage.
the entire east coast of FL is blanketed with 4g and working there way west
unfortunately my house is in the grey area
its honestly the biggest cell phone revolution since 3G lol... its really incredible.
I had 4G for about 10 minutes yesterday morning, then they turned it off. I was pissed. Guess they were testing. I hope that means they're going to light it up soon.
I was only pulling about 4.5-6.5 Mb/s.

It will be that way for 4 weeks or so, thats what they did here. They will up the speeds also after they load test etc. After that period of time they just leave it on

Lol I live in the heart of Boston downtown to be precise and there's 4g everywhere here. Am very impress but I feel like when ever my phone drops 4g for whatever reason 3g seems so slow now. But some time I have to force the phone to 3g just conserve battery that's a damn shame Verizon because 4g is amazing. But Verizon still have to optimize the yell out of it beside the battery drain some time it hangs before starting to download data or load a page, got embarrass trying to show off to a friend. But no problem with 4g here wow you guys without 4g are definitely missing out but at least you got the unlimited 4g plan before it they change it.

Same situation here.... :/
,
I am right in the city of chicago but outside downtown. I had sprint and the evo and their 4g was seriously terrible. Could only get a poor connection when the phone was balanced on the window ledge with the window open. The 4g would not go through the newer vinyl windows. I also could never get a signal inside most other buildings. I could literally only get it reliably when I was totally out in the open (even outside my house at ground level I could not get a connection). So, wimax on sprint's frequency sucks. I paid my $140 etf and switched to verizon where I pay $10 less per month f*** sprint.
verizon LTE 4g coverage is just amazing. Im on it right now in an interior room of my apartment nowhere near a window. I get 4g everywhere I go, I am never nervous about the connection dropping. This is how a network should function. Sprint is just awful and i will never use them again in my life. I would seriously get a land line before I got sprint wireless again. Verizon is so impressive to me.

We have limited 4G coverage in Tyler, TX. It's based around the mall. But that's about it.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I wanted very badly to be able to switch from AT&T to Sprint. I tried it for about three days but I was roaming in my living room. And I live on South Broadway. That was the end of 2011.
Sometimes I can connect to it out in the parking lot of my job down off duncan street.

I've been waiting for a loooong time for sprint 4G to come to phoenix, but I'm not sure its ever going to happen.
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.

1x and 3g are currently working in hawaii. I already called technical support. They have no reports of any current outages or planned maintenance. I did get a lot of calls from friends with lte phone calling me to confirm if mines were out as well.
I will report back when it is up and running. (I need to get netflix back up to watch my season of Chobits)
Lte is back up and everything is alright in the world.

Yea, I hate to champion one corrupt corporation over another, but I'd much rather be on at&t's network since the fall-back network is still leaps and bounds faster than Verizon's fall-back network (and they have had a number of outages on their LTE network this year so far). Fortunately I live in San Antonio so I have access to 3 major carriers' LTE networks.
That said, at&t can piss off with their restrictive policies. I only hate Verizon slightly more.
But my God 25mbs is amazing if could offer that every where I pay tom more I just wish my wifi that fast

I get LTE for AT&T in weird places here. I live in Oklahoma and get LTE of course in the bigger areas but sometimes LTE 4g in like small towns kind of cool but kind of weird.
You think 25Mbps is fast, check my sig...
Lol yeah. I just came back from Anaheim. Hot damn. 16 Mbps. But speed test used up 30 MB of data... I'm now being charged $30 for using 204.6 MB of data. >_>
