Yay for it coming to St. Louis. If only.the Note were available on a data-only plan...

When networks are new like that, they are not bogged-down at all and are extremely fun to use. I may be visiting my sister down in Naples Florida later this year and may have to swing by an ATT store to speed test some of their phones.

Yeeha! Saint Louis, awesome! Now, if only we knew when exactly it was coming here...

I wish they would hit some larger cities. It is surprising that Minneapolis and other larger cities are not first on the list. Lucky for me I will be travelling more for work to Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City so my fill of LTE will happen until then.

lol why would you put lte in any city in indiana other than indianapolis first really Bloomington, Lafayette and Muncie alll 3 of those cities dont even equal half the population in indianapolis

Because there are major college campuses there. They are doing just like VZW did. You hit the college towns first so the students get excited about it and you have a shot at them posting to the social network feeds about it thus causing increased interest in ATT LTE and lead to more LTE phone sales.

As a fellow St. Louisan and Cardinals Fan, this is great! makes it more easier to get the Note lol

Good Lord I am waiting for LTE to hit Minneapolis! I might have to make the switch to Verizon soon.

Thank God they're putting LTE in the college towns in Indiana. Their 3G network is way too populated in those areas.. I go to school in Bloomington and it's almost impossible to not drop a call anywhere near campus..

Im surprised, they still have not mention Providence, RI. A few days ago I was in the mall, did a speed test on the Galaxy Note with around 2-3 bars and it flew all the way up to 35mbps then leveled out at 32mbps.

It doesn't matter how far behind they are with Verizon, the main thing is that they're building out their LTE footprint. What I love about Charlotte, NC is that we usually get all the new wireless technology here, so we already have 4G from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile.
