The original post ment cities not states. New York is not a city, its a state, New York City is a city (brooklyn, queens, bronx, manhatten, staten island) Illinois is not a city, Chicago is a city. The only city he got correct was L.A.

Stop trying to justify it being correct. I know NY is a damn state, but in this case they are referring to the "city" of New York. The Big Apple.

Not sure why you were thumbed down....faster service is always welcomed...How fast you can go on a phone on a LTE 4G network depends upon:

1) Phone
a) Software
b) Hardware

2) Network

3) Location

Whoever thumbed me down must've mistaken me for someone that gives a s**t. I guess someone has the impression that it actually means something, lol. Usually when I post it's a day or two later till I come back and the articles are already off the front page so i never see what anyone writes back or tumb-up/down status. I just had this article open from earlier.

What does this have to do with iPhone? You seem to be unhealthily obsessed with Apple. Get help.

ATT wants to advertise 4G for the iPhone 4S due to HSPDA.

Too bad HSPA+ is the slowest of the 4G technologies, and AT&T's HSPA+ is the slowest in America. iPhone users will have to wait till Q3 next year to get LTE, and that's kind of depressing.

If it was up to me, I wouldn't allow the wireless companies to use 4G. Instead, I would ask them to use 3G+, 3.5G, etc. HSPDA allows for 14.4 Mbps and that is plenty fast compared to 3G. Right now, 2.0 to 3.0 Mbps is great for general web surfing. Thanks to Verizon's 10 to 12 Mbps speeds on my mobile hitspot, I am having a difficult time with 600 kbps speed from Sprint on my Triumph.

You mean overpriced? I do not see how Verizon is better in that they charge you out the glutton for everything, their speed is so much inferior, and they butcher their Android phones with Bing.
