I'd love to know, too. I've seen a bunch of spots on Sensorly that people have reported w/ LTE, but I've not been able to connect to any yet.
Ugh, lucky.
We have LTE in Waco, but its soooo slow. I get 200-400kbps in most of the city. Houston is a bit faster, averaging at like 600kbps.
I'm in North Park, but commute to work every day. The area with coverage is in Grantville, the trolley station that is west of SDSU. Every day it is consistent. I've actually narrowed it down to the exact base station if anyone wishes to know...

North Park, but the coverage is from an American Tower Corp. Base station in the Grantville area, the valley between Qualcomm Stadium and SDSU...
I got 4G a few weeks ago at a Cocos off of Lake Murray. Was in and out signal though. I live in La Mesa just minutes away and don't get a signal.

Yeah, you were receiving the remnants of the signal from the Grantville area down the hill a bit...but there is a 4G tower in La Mesa that is on and off at the moment too...they are beta testing it right now (according to a Sprint RF Engineer).
Here, check out this speed! Posted today at 9:50 PM...
So far speeds seem very consistent...
Of course, thats 4 bars as compared to one on my first post...wonder what full signal strength would run...
...and just to show the consistency...in the AM...
I have been some lte action in Florida. Didn't expect that.

Also, just traveled down to Chula Vista (H Street and 3rd Ave.) 4G LTE service is on there as well, but intermittent; I could tell they were turning the service on and off...but LTE is on the way here in SD.

I'm usually always on Wifi at home, but I finally caught a 4G signal here in La Mesa. Only 2-3 bars and went out after a few minutes but finally,some hope in 4G. After going 2+ yrs with the Evo waiting for 4G I was still skeptical with Sprint and San Diego coverage.

Well, 3G and phone service is choppy all over the city right now as they rollout Sprint Vision (LTE).
If you experience any interruption in service, call Sprint and when you get an agent ask to talk to a supervisor. If you are insistent they will provide a credit to your account for each day that your service is down or messed up. This tactic is especially useful when they have a tower undergoing a service outage due to equipment repair. Pay attention, San Diego has many ZIP codes; they like to try and say this only applies to the ZIP where your billing address is located. Not true. I tell them San Diego is my home, and that I pay for Sprint service and utilize my phone for business purposes here...If you are travelling through the city and notice messed up calls or data, take notice of the ZIP you are in and call them and get your discount, it,s usually good for the amount of days the tower is out. I regularly squeeze $15 to $20 off my bill every month!
So no 4g in Oceanside, in fact pretty crappy cell service. But here I am in Julian with 4g and great cell service. Who would have guessed

So I work right across from Montgomery Field in Serra Mesa/Kearney Mesa. Today my phone kept switching on and off 4G service, guess they're ready to turn on LTE service in that area now, FYI. It was just beta tests, so speed tests at this point are would most likely not be indicative of actual speeds when fully functional, but who knows...

Got a 4G signal downtown around 7th and B. Signal was strong but speedtests were slow at about 2 Mbps up and down. I was at a mtg around Scripps Poway Parkway just off of I-15 and got an LTE signal with superfast speeds at 25.73 Mbps down and 5.17 up.
I'm still switching to VZW though. I'm done with Sprint and their terrible business decisions.

It seems Verizon aims to cover just about any large-medium-sized cities in the US....
Lets look at this map: http://network4g.verizonwireless.com/pdf/VZW_4G_LTE_Coverage_Map.pdf
- Bristol?... 1st of all, that has a population of around 30k... That'sa not even really Virginia! Seriously?...
According to that map, Washington is the only part of Virginia Verizon covers now. There's no other stars on the map for Virginia.. wtf? Verizon doesn't even PLAN to cover Virginia outside of Washington, DC for the rest of the year??!?! Washington DC has a population of around 700k. Hampton Roads: Nearly 2 million! Not only that, but Hampton Roads is home to the world's largest naval air base! And Verizon just decided "Meh, screw them!"??!?
I'm sorry if I'm ranting but Verizon's choice of cities to cover... lots of them just simply don't even make sense!
Can someone enlighten me on this?
No love for Richmond either...
Same boat. I'm pretty incredulous that there is not a single Virginia city on any Verizon LTE list..
Pretty sad
Lolz maybe we could do a change.org-like petition thing (the reason I mentioned Memphis was cause I was raised there, not many people even have smartphones over there!)
It probably also depends on the amount of people in a given area that actually have VZW. Just because it might have 2 million people, doesn't mean that Verizon is widely used there.
i live near exit 247 on Rte 64 east newport news and I have 4g Lte started today

You just made me **** brix 0.0
Did you do a speedtest? :3 And how far did it reach? Btw, not that its my business, but what were you doing to notice 4G while driving? 0.0 Haha lolwardriving
lol I wasn't driving. I was using Google services for location.
Download speeds between 6-15.9 mbps. Upload speeds from 2-6.7mbps
From what I have seen it doesn't go too far away from this location. I got for a sec while trying to get on Fort Eustis back gate. Lost 4G while traveling in Williamsburg. Perfect 4G signal while at home.
Now I want a Thunderbolt ish
Just an Update I still have 4G service at my location. Download speed top out at 25mbps.
I can second mdbrotha. There is LTE service between The Lee Hall and Ft. Eustis exits on 64. I notice it on my phone right before the big storm. I was only getting LTE at the Wendy's on Warwick Blvd.
I went into a Verizon store yesterday and told a rep that I was get LTE at this one location and he told me that LTE was turned on at the tower at the Lee Hall exit. The rep said LTE was going to be turned on Sept. 30 and that it would roll down from Toano to Va Beach. I hope this brings a smile to a lot of people waiting for some Hampton Roads info. I will put up some screen shot as soon as I reach 8 post.
Yea I just bought a Bionic and the rep said that most all of Hampton Rds would get in in October
So I went into a Verizon store yesterday and heard one of the reps say the Newport News area will get 4G in about 2 weeks or so.
After he was done with the lady I asked him a few questions. I mentioned that I had 4g in my area. He knew the area that I lived at, mention that I am around on of the trial sites (which I figured) and said I should have perfect 4g connectivity (which I do)

If Hampton Roads area gets LTE by October I might switch from Tmobile to Verizon. Verizon is the only cell company expanding their 4G footprint.

I work on base to and mine came on after lunch. I live in Hampton, in the Willow Oaks/Fox Hill area and I have 4G in my house right now.
Hampton Roads LTE
I live in Norfolk near the base, and can confirm 4G there this morning. None in Downtown Newport News by the shipyard yet though.
I have had 4G on all day from Fox Hill area all the way to Ft. Eustis. I still have 4G on base right now. Maybe Verizon turned it on.
Anymore updates? I live 3 minutes from Norfolk International Airport, and don't have a 4G phone (yet). To be more specific, I live near Diamond Springs road. Anyone experience 4G in these areas yet? I know it gets turned on on the 20th, but I'm sure its already mostly on now, and I'm itching to know if its working in my area yet lol
Hey all. Looks like those of us in the 80906 area have 4G. Just got home to run a few tests. The first two are testing the server in Denver and the others are the closest one in the Springs.

I feel as though this is just a test and bandwidth is capped. At the end of the tests there is a huge spike.
Here's another test
Those images uploaded instantly
I think they are testing LTE in Knoxville, TN tonight because we aren't supposed to have it for a few more days.
Best test I got was 14.06mbs download and 9.15mbs upload.
The test average 12mbs down and 7-8 up.
*EDIT*
Speed seems to be fluctuating now.
Think the last one was a fluke lolz

Same here. It's going to be awesome. I just hope it reaches Oak Ridge. If not I hope they eventually expand it to reach there.
I think the fluctuation in my speeds are due to poor reception. Only getting 1-2 bars. Usually have all bars...
Tested just now, I'm getting 3052kbps down and 2594kbps up. I'm at Fillmore and Cascade just a bit north of downtown.
I had it this morning but lost it
I had LTE at my house in Colorado Springs but I lost it this afternoon. Must be doing some testing since we still have a couple days left. Anyone lose or gain 4G in the Springs?? I'm in Banning Lewis Ranch which is right next to Falcon which shows that they're covering more than just down town! Sweet!
Zoom, Zoom, Zoom.
4G seems to be working in way more places that 3g never worked in. This is at my work in a block/brick building in the 80910.

Drving around town all day today. 4g is very spotty on powers rd near the base. Signal bars here is good. Here's to hoping they'll fix this soon. I'm already plagued by horrible signal ON the base. In their press release in March they said Peterson would be covered. Oh well.

My thunderbolt has a full bars of 4g on minute then 3g the next. I never get more then 5mbps down and maybe 1.5 down. I have done speed test all over town with the same lame results. Does anyone know if it will get faster I've seen 4g on this phone get past 20mbps I hope it gets faster in the springs.

Yup, I'm in the same boat you're in. My house is fully blanketed in 4g, but it switches back and forth constantly. I have the Droid charge. Fastest download was 10Mb but average is around 3-5.
ouch op, that is 3g speeds.

Has anybody seen better 4G speeds in Colorado springs yet I'm still running .5-3.5 mbps down and about 1mbps up with a ping of 500 ms. This is pretty lame I've checked all over town and I get about the same. I called Verizon and the were no help the standard restart your phone make sure your 4G is on , then they were gonna call me back in 48 its been 2 weeks.

You heard it here first!!!
I restarted my phone, and what do you know...! LTE came alive in San Diego, NY, Phoenix, and now Los Angeles! WTG AT&T!
First test,
10-11mbps down, 1.5-2.5mbps up. 1-2 bars, Gardena, California. 75-96 ping.
I could only get speedtest app to connect to servers in Kansas. So I wifi tethered my device to my computer, and I'm getting better pings, but roughly same performance testing to the nearest physical servers.
Yesterday, I was getting HSPA+ at 1mbps down at the very same location.
sweet..AT&T will throttle you in no time..like the rest of us LTE users.
I plan on using only 2GB a month at most for business use, web surfing, and maybe an occasional youtube. I don't think I'll get throttled.
LTE is live in San Pedro. Fast but like Chicago not impressive really. I'll give att the benefit of the doubt until they can somehow get more spectrum (or utilize new qualcomm spectrum).
LTE is live in Redondo Beach. 30down/9up so far.

Whoa, I'm glad I just saw this thread. I've been on Wifi since I'm at home and work all day.
Getting LTE here in Palms (Culver City), too. But speeds are only about 8mbps down (vs. 2-3mbps on HSPA+). I think each area in LA is different. In a diff part of LA, i had about 6mbps on HSPA+. Will have to try it out more later.
Although download speeds sound low, latency seems non-existent. Did a quick search on google maps and loaded espn's full desktop site, and everything immediately loaded.

Yeah, that's what I LOVE about LTE. HSPA+ might at times report <100ms ping, but it sure doesn't feel like it. LTE reports ping around 75, but it feels as fast as my home internet with 20ms ping.
Guys, unless AT&T can snag more spectrum, don't expect to see anything above 15 down, because they probably have 10MHz of spectrum on the west coast, which is BARELY enough for LTE. That qualcomm spectrum should help out though.....

Yeah Sprint is a joke. What's nice about AT&T is when you step outside an LTE area you have H+ to fall back on. I can easily pull 7-10 mbps down on HSPA+.
I'm also very fortunate to still have unlimited data on AT&T. With these blazing LTE results, I am sure some will go through their data in a day or two.
Can I ask which data plan you are on?

That's hilarious. Coming from a WiMax phone, 7-10 Mbps was my max on WiMax. I know their 4G LTE will be better, but damn... they released their press release for my market back last October and there's still no movement on it 7 months later. I got tired of waiting (because they don't sell WiMax phones anymore), so I'd have to drop to their terrible 1Mbps 3G.
Well, I knew that would be a downfall (I opted for the 3 Gig plan). I could always bump up to the 5G (I think) plan for $15 more. Luckily my work & house has good broadband, so that should tide me over for the most part. If I really needed to stream something, my wife has the Unlimited Data still and I could always use hers.

GSM is the superior technology which allows for H+. As much as I have been craving T-Mobile lately, I will be sticking with AT&T. Sprint and T-Mobile are crap carriers in the process of upgrading all their existing cell sites to compete with the big boys. Until that is done, I kinda feel sorry for their smartphone subscribers.

Yeah Sprint is a joke. What's nice about AT&T is when you step outside an LTE area you have H+ to fall back on. I can easily pull 7-10 mbps down on HSPA+.
I'm also very fortunate to still have unlimited data on AT&T. With these blazing LTE results, I am sure some will go through their data in a day or two.
Can I ask which data plan you are on?

Yeah... I'm going to be another statistic for the next quarter: http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/24/sprint-earnings-q1-2013/ It's sad. I guess loyalty only gets you so far until you start lagging behind your competitors. I was with them for 13 years.
Very happy with my new service though. The most important thing is that I have cell signal in my home and work... basically in buildings. Sprint's coverage was so bad indoors, it would zap my battery trying to look for cell service constantly.

Which region has the very worst Verizon 4g network speeds?? I'm betting it's right here in Western New York. Can anyone top this?

Pulling 5.83 down here. But with full signal, so pretty close.

I used to often get 0.5-0.6 at peak hours when I worked in the mall (Aurora, IL), but it is a mall so there's that.

I've had sub 2Mb before, but that was on my GNex. I'm in NE Ohio. On my M8 I've seen speeds up in the 30-40's, and speeds down to ~5-6 Mb. I haven't really paid attention to see if it's related to what area I'm in, or the time of day, or what. But it can fluctuate a lot, obviously.
Past several days I've had around .2-.6 down at home. Elsewhere its 45-55 down though. I'm in south Dayton, OH.
Just an educated thought here.. but if they enabled ~700mhz AWS bands at all in the area you live in... it could be interference caused by local cable tv signals. If the cable signals in your area are in any way shape or form leaking.. it will cause problems. These frequencies now overlap.

Before AWS NYC and metro NJ...especially Newark NJ were under 1 meg down during peak hours
Now it's ridiculously fast.
Although I have noticed a slight improve since XLTE being released,
upstate NY here
just ran test
8.59mb down
10.45mb up
I have gotten fast speeds at the UB south campus. 29 down, 10 up. That was with 4 bars showing. Everywhere else, its still slow.

I've seen 29 down/10 up in Kenmore/Tonawanda on my One M8.

Wow. Looks like I'll feel like I'm back with Sprint when I go to new York this August for vacation. Some places here in California I pull over 100 down. But usually never less than 20 in worse areas. I think the east coast is just too crowded with buildings to get a good signal. The heavily populated areas don't help either

Has anyone actually found a way to determine the current band we're connected to without guessing by the speeds?

Got a 1.61 up and a 1.52 down yesterday. I am almost always on WiFi, I turned off WiFi just to run the test and I was shocked as you might guess!
I'm in Phoenix, Arizona.
Charging a monthly fee for a feature we can't really use. Interesting business model.

I just measured a half a megabit. Verizon sucks donkey schlong with there saturated network. I am in shelby mi. I tested 3g and its way faster
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Ever since they turned on 4G in my area, Blackstone, Virginia, the network has sucked. I use to have full 3G everywhere and now it is spotty 3G and rarely 4G mostly 1x in the house . Yet they seem to show no network issues in my area,even though everyone complains.
In my area (Santa Clara) I usually get 2.5mbps.
Buuuuut I'll take that over sprints .02mbps I used to get here....

They must be doing major network work. Last few days at work near Long Beach, CA I'm lucky to get 2-3 bars 3G, sometimes 1 bar 4G. I use to get 2-4 bars 4G all over work since day one this phone came out. Last 5 days have been craps service! Checked online and many confirm this so not just me. People say they call customer service to only get the run around so who the hell knows what's really going on?
I swear, leaving AT&T for Verizon so I could get this device was the biggest mistake. Never had AT&T issues with network and Verizon acts like their the best in the country! Best at wasting money on T.V. ads instead of investing it in their network I guess. Damn false hope switching to Verizon.

What carrier?
I'm in Phoenix, Arizona and I get 35.59 down and 14.34 up (102ms) in 85302 and 20.95 down and 11.50 up (59ms) in 85301. Weird how down south I'm getting slower speeds but better latency...
I'll have to test other parts of the Metro Area...I'm going to be around Sun City next week so we'll see what speeds the oldies are getting

Verizon, of course.
Just got .74 mbps down and .21 mbps up, that's on 3g.
Rebooted, got .21 mbps down and .25 mbps up.
When I rebooted it did show LTE for a second or two before dropping back to 3g.
I'm not complaining, I get NO SIGNAL at all in my house with T-Mobile!
No wonder I'm always on WiFi! <G>
Got it to show LTE! 2.02 down, 1.01 up.
Pathetic.
