at&t LTE coming to Seattle in 2012 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

About freaking time at&t!
http://betanews.com/newswire/2012/09/06/att-4g-lte-coming-to-seattle-in-2012/
Amazon (HQ in Seattle) just announced Kindle Fire 4G LTE so I'm sure that provided some impetus for at&t.

att is sooooooo far behind with their LTE deployment. I am in Milwaukee, VZW T-Mobile, and heck, even US Cell have LTE coverage here, not at&t.
yikes.

at&t advertises HSPA+ as 4G. What a crock.

You want to know what is sad? Anchorage, AK where I live got LTE before Seattle. I thought there's no way in hell we'd get it this fast. Of course it is some gimped LTE. Only get 18 down and 9 up on off peak hours. I usually get around 8 and 8 during the day.

In the Dimond area I am getting consistent 20-35 down and 11 up.
Edit: I was surprised when I saw 4G pop up. Tested my speed, BAM.
Alaska with LTE, hah.

Thankfully, Portland is supposed to get it too around the same time as Seattle.
About time! Seriously, I believe Verizon has it almost all the way up and down the I-5 corridor.
AT&T + Portland is just awful, though. My friend with T-Mobile gets lightning fast 4G (AWS) all over town (although with some of the usual T-Mobile signal issues) and as soon as I get to downtown Portland it gets so congested that I can't even use my data without it feeling like Dial-Up. Can't wait for them to get off their lazy butt and deploy this stuff. Their HSPA+ network is too damn congested all the time. Stinkin' iPhones hoggin' all the towers

just showed up as LTE on a galaxy note in bellevue... got 20 down and 9 up

Ya but I never added that to my Galaxy Nexus lol. I've never touched my APN settings on this. Only on my G2.
what area are you in? Tmo will offer in house booster kits, I got mine for free and I'm in area that has pretty decent coverage!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I live in indiana, close to cincinnati. I get coverage at home but only 2g. I work in cincinnati and coverage is good there, 4g in most areas 3g in others. Its the best monthly rate i can find ($30/mo for unlimited text, 5gb data and 100 min) but not sure if it's worth having a top of the line phone stick on a 2g network most of the time. Now im on cincinnati bell, it's pretty good. I'll try tmobile out a month before i cancel, see if the saved money is worth the decreased coverage

I wouldn't mind only having 2G at home as whenever I'm there I have WiFi. As long as I have 3G out of the house that's what matters.
Of course its always a cost/benefit analysis. I'm also on the $30 T-Mobile plan and it saves a ton of $$.

LTE coming to metro Detroit very very soon.

So for anyone here that lives in metro Detroit if they woke up this morning and ran a speed test they would see that we have LTE now. It hasn't been announced by at&t yet so I assume they're just testing it but the speeds are incredible I'll post a screenshot of my speed test results. It definitely drains the battery a lot more I noticed though. By the way for anyone familiar with the area I'm down river in Southgate.

Wow this is great news! I'm from Detroit but in SoCal on a work assignment but I'll be back next year so its good to know we'll have lte when I get there. There wasn't any lte in all of Michigan when I left.

i stay in clinton twp and work in st clair shores, hopefully we get some luv too!!!!
I live in the st. clair shores too and work out in Detroit or macomb depending on the day, no lte for me yet but super exciting.
Im in Bloomfield Hills. I don't get LTE HSPA+/4G yes but no 4G LTE. Southfield, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Bloomfield (West, Township, Hills) are all areas that are well covered and should have LTE if there is a Detroit Market. Downriver and Southgate is the last place I would expect to get it first. I did not even get LTE in downtown Detroit. So far I did not get LTE at my Dads office in Trenton either. Their may me locations where they are testing the market and they have not expanded it yet. However they have added 12 new markets and are expanding so hopefully we are in the next wave.
on the at&t message boards on their site there was reports of downriver area lte testing now this so it should be very soon.

Can you link me to that please.

If you are on Pennsylvania Rd. between Fort St. & Allen Rd. you should be able to pick it up. I noticed it switched to HSPA+ when I crossed Allen Rd. heading west. I don't really know what the coverage area actually is. If you got it at Old Chicago then that is good. I work in Garden City and we don't have LTE here just HSPA+.

How's your LTE speed?

My Epic 4g gets pretty good 4g wimax reception around Atlanta. But the 3g is the suck in my neighborhood.
I'm deciding against Sprint and Verizon sgs3. I've read enough complaint articles and blog posts (from the summer) about Sprint's lack of LTE that has me concerned about reupping with them.
Thoughts?
Thanks

I have the s3 and im in wichita falls tx and speeds are blazig fast! WAY faster than 3G even if i only have like 2 bars of 4G. From what I can tell sprint 4G is scarce but when you get it you get it! Im getting almost 3mb/s somedays. nowhere near the advertised 6 but its way better then the 200kb/s on 3G.
While on a call this past morning.

Unfortunately I must have deleted my screen shot, but 32 mbps down and 14 up in the northwest burbs of Chicago. Pretty consistent speeds at the moment but surrounding areas get varied results.

Most of the DC Metro Area has LTE, and has had it for quite some time. So, I'm not sure what the store manager meant, unless he was referring to smaller pockets within DC that somehow didn't have LTE.

Now That LTE Is In Atlanta Should I?

Change my apn's from epc. to fast. and change my radio from LTE/GSM/WCDMA over to LTE only or LTE/WCDMA?
I'm getting 3 and 4 bars at right around 28Mbps, I was hoping there's someway I could max it up to mid 30's or 40's and 50's. So I was wondering, if changing any of this would do that, or if it'd get progressively faster slowly on it's own since it was apparently released a day or so ago here I take it.
It's real spotty around Atlanta kinda hit or miss really some of the spots I was getting LTE yesterday I'm not getting LTE today.

Yea I noticed throughout the whole day stationary at work, I'd jump back and forth from fully topped out edge/3g to lte I'd stay on edge/3g for about 15 or 20 minutes, then it'd skip back over to lte. Sometimes if I rebooted I'd pick lte back up immediately.
Kennesaw and Acworth here with only 3 bars:

I've got an AT&T Note 2 and am using NoVella, I'm wondering and am curious what speeds other Atlanta Note 2 users are getting, if they're also seeing 28mbps and it hopefully will gradually increase more and more to 50mbps eventually.

I've got a Note II, and I'm in Smyrna, GA. The LTE signal here is intermittent, been on and off since midnight Tuesday. I've gotten as high as 30 Mbps up, 16Mbps down, but not with much consistency. We'll just have to be patient, I suspect, to see where coverage and speeds settle.
LTE is pumping hard in Buckhead.
