Birmingham, AL LTE reporting in - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Very nice, performance is amazing!

In Gadsden, and jealous. I'll have to find an excuse to go to Bham now

What part of Birmingham are you in? I'm in Hoover and pulling the speeds below.

I was at work near Brookwood hospital with my screenshot.
I'll check it at home but looks like it's available there too!

It goes down I20 at least from my exit the Leeds/Moody exit, down I65 from I459 to outside Birmingham, and all down highway 31 from starting in Vestavia. I didn't go to Hoover today, but I rode those interstates and down 31 into Birmingham testing this morning.

It runs all the way down 459 south to Mccalla and over into Hueytown as well. Although the speeds seem to be a good bit lower in those areas. Even with a full 5 bars the highest I reached was 20/5.

Everyone in AZ should flash Blaze 4G Modem

I've experienced a huge inscrease in both download and upload speeds. Not only that.. my connection has actually been reliable and it has ZERO LAG! I thought it was a T-Mobile issue but this fixed it for me.
Thanks goes out to M&S

I think speeds are so subjective. I've gotten 12 down 5 up at my work at the 101/I17 interchange, then .3 down .05 up within a 10 minute window....

The title clearly says AZ as in Arizona.
Hand palm in face
Edit: and i agree with op. Never had more than 1mb down at work but got 8 and 9 today. zero bars but data much faster

For me its been amazing. I've never had instant connection to the internet. Before I had to wait 5 seconds or so for it to connect. And its averaging 8mb higher on downloads

Uptime

I am really impressed with how stable the galaxy nexus is. I'm currently at 101+ hours of uptime while my phone remains smooth as silk. What are some of your numbers?

Somebody on here already posted something like this. he went 41 days without reboot. It was still smooth but MMS would force close so he had to reboot.

Well, that was pre-jellybean. I didn't see another thread like this so sorry if I'm being redundant. I just wanted to get some numbers from others and see what kinds of uptimes we are getting.

I go about 400-500 hours a lot. But I hit those numbers on my nexus one too. The gnex is rock solid stable and android really has matured.

Crazy theory, but.......

Ok so i have noticed something, I'm in virginia beach and my data speeds are faster when charging. Also they slowdown as the battery goes down. I did 3 speed test while at 45% 30% 15% and my speeds where 0.55 mbps 0.25 mbps and 0.01 mbps. Now I'm charging and i did 3 test (same app and my phone is in the same location) and just got 1.01 mbps 1.10 mbps and 1.35 mbps. So does the amount of voltage in the battery affect the amount of power to the radio? This is the first phone it's done it on..... Like my CPU doesn't get slower as the battery goes down so why are my data speeds?
Edit: I'm on the LG8 modem. Those where my download speeds.

I noticed that I had data problems when my battery was very low. I was wondering the same thing. I actually had what seemed to be my modem not even working when the battery was super low. Like data locked up completely.

here is the whole link http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...network-visionlte-deployment-schedule-update/
but the part to look at is this:
"If Sprint waits for 50% completion to launch the Norfolk market, it would make the launch month to be November (should the OEM stay on schedule). If they plan on a 40% market completion for launch, that would be October. You may think that 40% - 50% site completion is not enough to launch LTE service, but it would provide pretty good coverage."
so depending on how much of the towers will be LTE means how long we have to wait.... it will be before 2013 and before December 2012
EDIT: a sprint rep told me we would have WiMax in 2011 (actually it was around this time that we would be getting it), look where we are now.....

Just north of Baltimore. Lots of wind and moderate rain. Not getting slammed as bad as we did last year this time. The blizzard put 2.5 feet of snow on my kitchen roof and caved it in. The best is yet to come according to the news.

Im in brooklyn NY and the wind here has been crazy so far on my block 3 cars and one house porch smashed in by huge tree branches. But just 15 min ago the best (or worst ) one, a whole tree with the concrete block surrounding it gets knocked over across the whole street and into the yard across it just missing the house by a few feet.
As a side note low light pictures with my SG3 are not bad .....
North East MD here..just wanted to give a shout out to verizon for letting a sprint customer roam on their service...sprint service stayed working but was so bad with 1 bar ..luckily my note and gs3 would jump on the verizon network and my speeds would increase by 10 (3g)...i know some folks might be tired of hearing me say it but sprint should be ashamed of themselves for calling what i have "premium data"..and charging me accordingly...
I read about it online today and didn't realize how bad it was along the coast! Prayers go out to those affected by this storm

He means Florida, near Kennedy Space center. Called the space coast because of the space shuttles.
Interesting added fact: Area code for the location is 321.
