LTE in CINCINNATI!!!! (Kinda has a ring to it) - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Never have had the opportunity to use LTE before. Its never been available in an area I've lived. Tonight I went out to my car on break at my job and I seen something I had never seen before in my status bar. Ran a speed test and got 30mb/s download!!!! Love it Wondering if anyone else in Cincinnati , Ohio or Northern Kentucky are seeing LTE for the first time?

Ya, I seen an article a week or 2 ago that showed some new cities that were set to get it and Cincy wasn't on the list but we were on a list of cities scheduled to get it by the end of 2012. I guess Christmas cam early. Lol.

Hey tiffany. I was going to post the same thing last night. #awesomesauce. I saw it waiting for the wife at her job in Fairfield yesterday and tested it on her phone too.

I got to use it in Cleveland about two months ago. I topped out at 43 down. I live in Columbus so I'm still waiting. I see that they've installed the LTE panels, I'm just waiting for it to be turned on. Any day now!

I'm hoping we get it soon too, I live in Newark just east of Columbus, HSPA+ is good enough for me right now I top out at 12mbs down

I am getting very good numbers on my speed test results. They are comparable to Verizon LTE.

Ya, its awesome. I came from Sprint so when I first switched to AT&T and had HSPA+ I did a speed test and got like 7mb/s when I was use to getting like 300kb/s. I started freaking out when I seen that. Now seeing 20-30mb/s is just insane to me. Glad I'm not the only one and I hope its not just some test where it gets switched back off.

Got it last night while leaving work in Milford and had it all the way home in Norwood and then back to work but it reverted back about 2 hours ago. (wait now that I'm typing this i notice its back up ) Couple of nerd friends in the area posted about it on FB too I can't tell the real speed cause the damn gallery downloaded 2 gb of data and ran me over my 5GB. Speaking of which does anyone have any idea how to get around that?

The signal is still going strong in Fields Ertel!

Its pretty nice, my phone has faster speeds then my home net lol 25mb/s vs 30-40mb/s on LTE

I'm in Clifton right now.

Well crap I guess I have to crawl up to Cago and hook an N router into my server. Though does the E4GT do 2x2 if not all you will get is 150 Mbps tops.
My web server when it was in NY:
Now in Chicago:
Dont ask about the distance... well ask internap lol it had some NY to DC tests ~50 miles well shorter than they really were.
If only I could get some 1 Gbps home fiber to a decent backbone, that would be sweet.
My Phone at home, work, or burger kings drive thru take your pick:
Old versus recent
So are we going to do anything with these or should I just give a universal "Cool story, bro."
help me out here
Pretty sure I win. And I'm in the city. Lol.

Philadelphia and LTE

Hey, has anybody noticed any lte testing in philly area? Does anybody know if we're next for the turn on?
yes I get LTE in Northeast today, just a moment.
Good to know that even if for a moment, I will have LTE
This is great news! I wonder if the signal will be strong enough yo reach me across the bridge and up near Burlington city. Maybe I won't be limited to get it when I go in for food or Phillies. lol

rofl i called an at&t rep today and asked him to give me a guesstamate of when lte will be available in jersey he says to me "Im going to be honest with you sir..... you live in jersey....... jerseys always last....." lmfao i wished i could shoot myself
Take this with a grain of salt, but I know a well ranked agent who is pretty close with a certain "Tiffany" who some of you may have heard of, and supposedly the Phila switch is going to be flipped sometime in the third week of August. Don't get your hopes too high because there are bound to be hiccups along the way, but I'm sure I'll hear more as we move into August. CANT WAIT!!!
Edit: Just in time for shared everything plans lol.. At least it's going to be optional.
How will I be able to tell if I have LTE active will it say it next to the 4G icon?

well i was never technically on 4g down here but i went from about 6-8mbps to 20 mbps
they turned it on from miami north to west palm and I am in the most northern part so im assuming the fort lauderdale - miami area probably has the better speeds than i do here, but it is alot faster

Same here I'm in Philadelphia. Don't quite get why at&t skipped us in the first deployment.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Metro areas that had "sufficient" 3G coverage were automatically skipped through the first and sometimes second pass of LTE implementation.
Squeakiest wheels got the grease first, is what I've heard and read.
Incidentally, don't be too upset about this, as LTE (from personal experience) has not been all that great anyway. I've been in Chi, Miami/Ft.Laud, DC and Baltimore and only in one of those markets (frigging Baltimore of all places!!) was I getting better than 11Mbps down and better than 6Mbps up (i got 17Mbps down, 10Mbps up). Both DC and Miami/Ft.Laud were marginally slower than my home WiFi which is typically around 10Mbps down and 6Mbps up, and Chicago was absolutely pathetic all three times I've been there since Feb, coming in roughly on par with Philly-area HSPA+/4G.
Incidentally, my experience has been with this phone as well as my Note i717, both top-end devices.
Plus, remember that even a strong LTE signal (let alone a weak one, god forbid....) will drain the piss out of your battery, a heck of a lot quicker than good old fashioned HSPA+.
Just my $.02.

That is awesome!
I'm down in Owatonna/Mankato and they don't even have VZW 4G down here yet. The lady at the AT&T store said that it would be rolled out by the end of 2012, but I don't know how much she really knows hehe. HSDPA is pretty good down here though, only place I've dropped to edge is driving in between Lesuer, Steele, and Waseca county.
I hope southern MN gets lit soon. I hear that AT&T doesn't have the greatest data coverage in Iowa/Wisconsin.
Ohh WoW .. my brother should be excited to hear this .. he has the One X and has been waiting patiently for LTE in his area.
Wha?? I work downtown and i'm not getting LTE. I'm genuinely excited though if its that close.

Since they are just testing it would make sense to do it early in the morning so that it affects least number of users.
This was at airport in case you are wondering.

Awesome! I'll be at the Minneapolis Int'l Monday! Will be my first LTE experience I guess.
I let Minneapolis to head to Chicago for the week. To my surprise at security check when I pulled out my Note to scan my Delta boarding pass I saw LTE lit up. Speed was amazing as I have seen in KC and Chicago before. However, when I go to my gate in G Concourse LTE was gone. Hopefully this means its coming soon.
Attached are two screencaptures. One proves its MSP and the other shows speed test. My phone also rolled to EST time zone as well.
Interesting.! No go in Minnetonka

Well thats fantastic...at least when I go home I know I will have LTE...not so much where I am stationed but im a glass half fll kind of guy..ha
I was hoping Minneapolis would get it sooner than later. It is a major metropolitan area.

Its currently airport only. I believe it's part of the MSP remodel. You can see a set of antennas near the G gates if you look out of the window at the parking garage.

Incredibly slow 3G data; is Sprint throttling me?

So, for the majority of last month I recall having absolute **** speeds on 3G ranging from 20 to 70 Kbps occasionally reaching to something like 120Kbps. This is in my normal coverage area where I can often get from 1100 to 1800 Kbps. I had thought that I might be getting throttled since I used a total of like 14GB of 3G last month. The new billing cycle started today and I'm still getting the same horrid speeds. What gives? I've already reflashed my ROM and modem without any benefit. Anyone else know what could be going on?

Sprint is the problem. LOL I'm not sure have you tried contacting Sprint? I'm jelly that you can even achieve 1200kbps.

I tried Sprint briefly years ago, sounds like they haven't improved much since then.
if not for the LTE in my area (san antonio) sprint would be unusable.
It sounds like 1X data speeds and not 3G, some of the stock roms display a 3G icon even when connected to 1X data. If you use the speedtest app
it will show a graph of the results, if the speed graph looks like it hits a ceiling around 100k,.it is probably connected to 1X data.
If you see multiple spikes in the graph well above 100k, it is probably a crappy connection/signal.
Same here. I'm on Virgin Mobile, but it's apart of Sprint too. It's been crappy for the past week.

I'm on Sprint. Get about 500 to 1000kbits on 3G in my area. I understand they're not great in all areas, but the price is good.

So. Uh. If that isn't the best speed test you've ever seen? I think Jellybro has the 1x indicator fix and the normal upload speeds seem to indicate I'm on 3G. Sprint dude just said to take it to a store. I guess I'll do that. Unless going back to complete stock might fox something. I'll try that next.

In NYC? Really? They're rolling it out there right now. There's good coverage in the Bronx according to Sensorly, and there is progress in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Unless you can somehow get a hold of an S4 in the next 3 or 4 months, I doubt you'll have the S4 before LTE.

Hey, I don't get it where I am normally... (Home nor work) which is really depressing... EVERYWHERE else that I go that is slightly outside of the norm though it seems to be 4G heaven...
I live on the outskirts of Marengo, IL and looking at the 4G coverage map is really depressing... we're like... in between rockford and elgin, which... both have 4G and it reaches JUST to us... but drops out between... how aggravating.
It was silly, I went down to my Aunt's in Indiana for Xmas and got 4G like the WHOLE trip between my house and her house... At my house... 3G/1X... At her house... Barely able to maintain a 1X Data connection at all, I just shut it off... Literally a mile away from her house... back in 4G land... like... wtf! Same thing with my parents house in Plainfield... The ENTIRE way down there... 4G... her house? Barely getting 3G... Sprint just hates me and my family. Lol.
They have told me that they are working on the towers near my house though, so that's a plus, and on top of that the CS rep told me that they put a mark on my account that when it's complete, I can call back in and have them credit me for the "down" time. So again, will be nice to have a month or two of 4G for free when it's done.
Please post LTE discussions in the LTE Sticky thread
Thanks
