I'm a field tech for Rogers in the Montreal area. Don't think it's a question of just installing the technology. You have to remember this is a very difficult fiscal year for us, budgets are cut like you wouldn't believe. We had to cut down on everything because of the 700 freq bid next year. There's no point in expanding drastically because if we get a part of that 700mhz freq, we will have to reconfigure a lot of sites. The equipment can do 700mhz but the antennas can't. With the current 2100/2600mhz set-up right now, that's a lot of sites my friend!
So the expansion has slowed down a lot over the last few months and no the iPhone 5 won't help your cause
EDIT: also, when we test a new technology, we don't bring it on air for all to see and shut it down after. We test it in reserve mode, our SIMs are class 15 which allows us to access a reserved network.

I was waiting for it to kick in today. But Verizon surprised me with the turn on a day early. Woot. Loving the speed boost for sure.
Im glad my fellow Ohians are catching up to the west of me
Well it is great to hear that 4g is finally avail to different company besides tmobile in the miami valley i hope you guys enjoy but hey once you blow up your contract with data overages and need an out come c me for cricket
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.

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'm in the DC area, haven't gotten to try my GS3 on the Metro (maybe tonight), but if it's anything like when I had my T-Mobile G2, the GS3 should work even better. In some of the busier stations my G2 would actually get full "4G" service, so I'm assuming that my Verizon GS3 would get full service as well since Verizon was already a working network in the Metro system well before they started adding cell stations for other carriers to work.
I'm in NOVA but travel to DC often, you shouldn't worry at all man. I get full 4g on the metro and mostly everywhere else in DC.

Where are you seeing all these lte issues? Beside even if it is dropping its better than Sprints NO LTE.
I have seen people complaining that it keeps kicking them down to 3g. But you are right the speed difference is huge. And no I don't have to pay an etf. I just have to send then all of my phones. Witch sux I just got the sgs3 two weeks ago

A lot of the lte drop you may be hearing of comes from the cynogen mods and aokp roms. But Verizon has the most solid lte coverage out there.
Plus like it was stated. I'd rather lte drop but have lte as apposed to no lte and real slow 3g speeds from Sprint

I am using AOKP Milestone 6, and after tinkering with a couple things, I have a solid 4G connection. No unexplained drops to 3G in a 4G area for me.
And I agree with what's stated above. There is no way you'll want 3G once you get used to 4G.
stock Rom at the moment works best on this phone I would just stay with that till development matures a bit.

You made a huge mistake switching to tmobile!!
There is nothing called "combo" when it comes to using Skyrocket with t mobile (and in my opinion it makes things worse as you might have to troubleshoot both sides radio and rom problems) ... It is just the radio that can be fine or not depending on the area , and in some areas now t mobile switched their data freq to 1900Mhz so even stock UCLF6,UCLI3 or UCLL3 can work , including 4G
