So how long did your area (City/Town) take to fully turn on your 4G? Reason I'm asking is because today all day I had 4G which I was shocked to see because I'm not in a 4G area. Obviously this means that they are testing it I would assume?

I had never noticed them testing in my area (Duluth, mn) until the day they said it was scheduled to be turned on.

Yeah I didn't think they did but this is the second time in the last month that it's been switched on for a bit and then just randomly goes away. Speeds were amazing today though when It was on :thumbup:

In my town it has taken over a year yo get good 4g service from Verizon. A yr ago I had to put my phone in the Window to get one bar of 4g ad now today I get full service anywhere in my place. The best download speed I have gotten was 19mbps.. But that was at night and the network wasn't loaded down

I'm over in Oregon and there is still no 4G i my area. From what I heard is that Verizon contracted a company to lay the cables and then they sub contracted it to Century Link. Well CL dropped the ball and now we have to wait even longer for 4G.
4G was on when I moved here. Awesome signal everywhere!! That's what I love about living near D.C.

This is true. I wish Apple would have implemented NFC in the iPhone 5. You know if they would have, it would soon be supported all over!! As much as we all don't like to believe it, Apple/iPhone influences a lot of technology in other fields.

switch your phone to LTE mode. mine rarely/never switches to LTE anywhere in my city, but when I set it to LTE mode it switches right away as long as there is coverage.
Weird weird! They must have only been testing a small area. Traveled (on Sunday) about 3 miles from my home and the 4G LTE connection was gone. By 10PM that same day it was gone altogether.

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.

They provided a list of who they said would get LTE by the end of 2011. Memphis was on the list. When I bought my Bolt, the salesman in Cordova told me that we'd have LTE by the end of June. LIAR! lol
I can guarantee however that you will get it when you get it. 100% sure of that.

I think they are expanding in Syracuse, not rolling it out. I am pretty sure they already have 4G. I am about 70 miles south of Syracuse and I am not expecting anything different by us. I am pretty sure that 4G has much shorter range so changes further away don't really impact surrounding areas.

I was always under the impression that the nearest tower was in Utica, which was why we got 4G service in Syracuse. I could be totally wrong, though.

Weird that they have that map there but it doesn't actually show all the current 4G. There is a lot more than they're showing on there.

Well according to the article in the OP, Syracuse is listed under the category of "expand the existing 4G LTE"...take that for what it is worth I guess.
I don't see what the fuss is about unless your on a grandfathered unlimited plan since with the new shared plans, Verizon lets you surf the web and check your email, anything else will drain your mbs for each month. Its totally bassakwards, they put up more towers rolling out 4GLTE, but with their new limitations, 4G speed is kind of irrelivent if you hardly get the chance to use it IMO.

I have a year left on my unlimited contract with verizon if they ever switch me to a limited data plan ill leave. do they care maybe not but i am not gonna watch a youtube video then run to see where my data limit is on a damn widget for $29.99 a month data. its insane to me that people are willing to do this.
i dont use alot of data maybe 4gb a month my moms line uses about 2gb were both unlimited but its the idea that we would have to worry about how much data were using when i pay more for my phones internet then i do on my homes internet i shouldn't have to think about it. its my account with 3 lines i pay for my moms line fyi.
sorry i went off topic ;P

47/21 for me,
avg is 30/10
The best I have in my SpeedTest history is 33/14.5.
What I'm most proud of is what I get at home. I'm in a really fringe area. Turn left or right out of my complex and go about a few hundred feet and you're in a dead zone. It's kinda hilly so my house must be in a sweet spot.
Anyway, with my Galaxy Nexus I would average about 4/1.5. I would occasionally see 5-6/2 but not often. And as soon as I even looked at my phone it would drop to 3g. With my GS3 my best speed at home with the phone in the same spot as GNex was 21/4! I average 15/5 there usually. Not too shabby considering I am way out in the boonies.
About 35/20 is the best I've seen, but I only really tested it when I first got a 4g phone.
35-40 in the good areas. 20-28 avg. 10-12 in some bad areas.
It's funny how we have been spoiled with the fast speeds. I feel let down when mine is below 20mbps. I would have killed for those speeds in the 3g days.
12/6 with full bars. Rarely is it better than 25/10. The LTE blows here. My buddys TMo S3 gets 25/15 constantly.
