Do you happen to know anyone from the Tisher last name? Saw you were from N. Olmstead on the weather app.

And uh, AT&T, anytime you want to grace that state sandwiched between NY and MA with LTE, ummm.. we'd be VERY appreciative. Just a suggestion..

Not to rub it in, but crazy fast LTE speeds in the boston metro area. 20-30mbps down average, high score of around 57mbps.

Columbus generally turn up shortly after the Cleveland market. I live in the Mentor area, 20 minutes east of Cleveland and it is on here as well. I was speed test on my Vivid, Lumia and Skyrocket and was averaging around 20-30Mbps and maxing at 50 on the Skyrocket.
On a side note, has anyone experienced terrible battery life with that widget?

CT. If Vermont (or New Hampshire) gets it first we riot (maybe.)
I got to experience LTE speeds when I was in NY and ATL recently and I averaged over 30mbps. I'm sure this is to do with the networks not being taxed so much. I can't wait for the new iPhone to be released which will slow down those LTE speeds due to excessive bandwidth use, much like they did to their 3G network. Knowing my luck we will get the iPhone 5 before we get LTE here.

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?

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.

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.

Im glad my fellow Ohians are catching up to the west of me

What areas of Dayton at you getting the hookup? My parents live in Germantown so I highly doubt I'll get anything when visiting but I'm curious to know if it's just the city limits or surrounding areas as well. I live in Columbus but can get 4G at work in Dublin/Hilliard too.

So this is running in the East Bay? Im in Hayward, just ordered my SR.
Drove into SF today for work and tested it out when i had full signal. Managed to get 52mb down
I was in Santa Clara and didn't get a signal. So, it looks like the city, peninsula, and east bay right now.

I'm on east coast just starting to get 4G now. Before

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!
