Any Peeps living anywhere between Mentor Ohio and Ashtabula County?
My TB and wife's Droid 4 lit up 4g for about half a day yesterday(4/18). Its been down now since 4pm yesterday. I have noticed my Signal strength on 3G is been bouncing up and down, normally I get full bars.
So I'm thinking they're testing the towers and getting set to light them up.
Its good news for anyone living in NE Ohio.
Right on dude, 4g rawks!

I live near Euclid, about 15 minutes from mentor. I believe we have 4G near myself, I have an Inc 2, and I remember them working on a tower about a month ago, its about time they add it over there...

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.

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!

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

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.
We have limited 4G coverage in Tyler, TX. It's based around the mall. But that's about it.

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.

That's awesome you have it there... what's the speed on it?
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.
Anyone else stuck on 3G in the twin cities area?
i know this is a bit late, but mine is working fine.
no Problems here
Worked all day today for me in Apple Valley and Chanhassen.

Suck Verizon dry if you still have unlimited. Never use WiFi and tether just for fun.

I remember when I got 4G in March 2011, Thunderbolt day 1!
4G is awesome, and dont know how I could go back. The other day I got 58.66 download and 20.79 upload in the far west suburbs of Chicago!
cool man. I got the thunderbolt when it first came out & had to wait nearly a year for 4g.
saw someone on craigslist was selling a gs3 & offered to trade him both my razr & rezound phones for it. he ended up taking just the razr + $60 in trade(still have my rezound).
hopefully this phone is awesome(unlike that horrid galaxy nexus) ;D
I got 4G everywhere except my house... It's a deadzone in my house only. My driveway however.. Great coverage

By better you mean it doesn't drop signal for no reason? Haha or that the camera is 2x better? But yes it is a lot better.

I pre ordered my galaxy s3 AFTER the deadline to keep unlimited data but for some weird reason I still have unlimited data? Which is also why I pretty much tether every day and download torrents on my phone on the fly when I'm not near my laptop.

Great News Good 4U Rock On Dude.:victory:
I'm on east coast just starting to get 4G now. Before
this had to drive 30 miles or more to see 4G. Funny all
this while VZ is announcing 4G now available in place's like
Mud Barf,Missouri pop.64 , Foggy Valley Arkansas pop. 4.5.:cyclops:
Can't figure why it's taking so long to finish their home state.
But That's Just My Opinion. I Could Be Wrong.....
I remember first seeing the 4g on my charge here in Albuquerque. It was about 2 am, by morning it was gone, guess they where just testing. A couple weeks after that it turned back on, and stayed.

Sounds like me and T-Mobile. I tried T-Mo a couple of years back and I found a dead zone around my house, unlike you, it extended about 2 blocks to the west, north and south and about 1/2 block to the east.
I've never understood dead spots, I'm right in the middle of a triangle of T-Mo antennas and I suspect that may relate to the dead spot?
My sister's house in California is a dead spot for VZW! She has a GREAT Sprint signal but her house is in a direct line to a Sprint tower with a VZW tower right in line behind it, I have to believe that the Sprint tower somehow blocks the VZW signal? I only have to move 50 yards away to get a VERY strong VZW signal.
Anyone have any explanation as to how one tower can block another or why being in the center of a 3 tower triangle can kill a signal?
I just ass-U-me it's voodoo!
I have 4G at the university I attend and my house just got 4G last week. Holy crap!

I thought about a range extender at my house, but I'm not shelling out a few hundred for that ****. I can use WiFi at my house. Plus I'm military and move all the time. By this time next year I'll be in Rota Spain and it won't matter then because there is no VZW
