New markets are being graced with Verizon's 4G LTE presence starting on August 18
Share:
Starting on August 18th, there are a bunch of new markets across the country gaining 4G LTE connectivity – these include Bakersfield, Salinas, and Monterey, Ca.; Collins, Co.; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Worcester, Mass.; Omaha, Neb.; Ithaca, N.Y.; Columbus, Ohio; Altoona and Johnstown, Pa.; and Provo/Orem, Utah. Moreover, Big Red is also planning on expanding their footprint in current markets that include MetroWest, Mass.; Nyack, West Nyack, Orangeburg, Pearl River, and Spring Valley, N.Y.; and Cincinnati, Ohio.
So there you have it folks, it’s more of a reason why customers in these areas should plan ahead and think about scooping up any of their 4G LTE devices because we’re confident that they’ll be impressed by the results.

That's just not fair!! How is AT&T and Sprint(HaHa) ever supposed to catch up with VZW if they keep going full tilt into 4G. WiMax/ShmiMax will be converted to LTE by Sprint and AT&T is planning on full coverage LTE by 2018, LOL! Follow the leader chumps.

Perhaps AT&T should just invest their ongoing quarterly profits from standing still into an agreement to use Verizon's towers. That's a better strategy than adding two LTE markets a year for the next 200 years.

Verizon's 4g sucks they can't make any of the dual core phones working on it so what's the point of having :( the HTC thunderbolt was invented with a dual core processor and got downgraded to snapdragon processor verizon can't seem to get the dual core processor working with a 4g network and never mine updating the dam phone up date the batterys first LOL

Huh? Is this english?
4G sucks because the phone sucks? The point of 4G is so you can download your Angry Birds faster than anyone else - if you are in a 4G area, at which case, I'm sure you do. So 4G works just fine. Whether your game works as well as you want it to; take it up with the phone manufacturer.

Why would someone with a "verizon" user name be bashing Verizon?

Just focus on getting in and out, and be thankful you don't have to stay there.

What does that say about your girlfriend that you should be thankful you don't have to stay there?

What about Buffalo!? Does anyone know officially why LTE won't come to Buffalo, NY(No Sarcasm Please!)!? Any links would be good also. I know this city sucks a$$ and I would gladly move if I could now.

I'm still trying to figure out the pattern to the LTE rollout. Here in Texas, it was first launched in the three largest cities (Houston, DFW, San Antonio), which made sense, but then the next wave launched LTE in smaller towns like Temple/Killeen (Ft. Hood) and Bryan/College Station (Texas A&M). Meanwhile, mid-size cities like Austin (my location), Waco, and El Paso seem forgotten. I guess I expected any city along the I-35 corridor to be fast-tracked for LTE. Oh well...one day.

There's many factors to which markets get rolled out. Sometimes it's not the most populated because the network may be overloaded and LTE will take pressure off the overloaded 3G. There's also the factors of getting agreements in place for roaming or permissions to build out towers if needed.
I'm very impressed with how fast VZW 4G is being rolled out. They'll have most of the US covered by years end.

why does Portland Oregon have LTE but the capitol of Oregon does not??

THANK YOU! Salem (and Dallas!) need to get LTE!!! I live in Dallas, but work in Salem, so either would be fine.
When I was upgrading my phone, I asked the guy in the Verizon store when Salem will be getting LTE. He said within a year. Hopefully it's not too long. My Droid Charge wants its 4G!
