Verizon to add LTE service to two more cities over the next two months
Share:
On December 15th, Verizon's LTE service gets turned on in city number 179, Indiana, Pennsylvania. The list of surrounding areas that will have the service include White Township, the Indiana University of PA campus, Homer City and Blairsville.
Verizon's LTE service should provide speeds of 5 to 12 Mbps on the downlink and 2 to 5Mbps on the uplink and is as much as 10 times faster than 3G service. We are coming up on the one-year anniversary of Big Red's initial LTE launch on December 5th and the carrier has given itself a nice head start on other carriers rolling out LTE service including AT&T and MetroPCS.

Agreed I have the bionic.. Amazing phone lol. Late release but I couldn't be more pleased. And the patch is getting pushed out in a week so the occasional loss of 4g should be good. But tbh people trash it when rooted and using a custom kernel.. so snappy lol when friends with the iphone 4s are amazed.

Do we remember the droid bionic...pshhh...just cuz yall get any and every new phone sent to you all doesnt mean that real people arent sporting their bionic proudly! It has its issues as Im sure the Razr is about to....let alone anything HTC puts out...but it\'s a fast phone. Coming from the LG Ally and many coming from droid OG et al, I\'m sure we\'re doing fine with our Bionic. Especially when they send this OTA....

Wow VZ is just killing it int the LTE business. It's ashame that AT&T just never initaite network upgrades like this. I mean I know that they are moving forward but VZ is a Whole year ahead. If I were the stockholders I would be demaning answers for AT&T's ceo, cfo and the board proto!!.
