4G teases Gainesville, Fl

[pyro530]

4G LTE symbol showed up on my phone tonight. Had to get a speed test. Pretty impressive...

Too bad it's gone now

45 minutes or so from Gainesville here. A rep told me that Gainesville would definitely be getting 4G very soon. I'm already covered.

Absolutely! Go Gators!

I wish I could be at the O&B game tomorrow, but I'll have to settle for watching it on TV.

4G is up and running strong here in jacksonville.

How about a Florida Thunderbolt Club? We can all get together, maybe at World of Beer, for a beer sometime?

Same thing happened in Tallahassee a couple weeks ago and we were told by Verizon reps that they were testing the 4g network. Still not on in the capital city.

I saw 4G for a second today around 10:30 while on campus. I wasn't able to do a speedtest or even try it out... but I saw the symbol. Lol.

It showed up here in Norwalk, CT around 10 this morning, and it is still going. I guess I shouldn't be surprised if it is gone tomorrow.

I'm a rep for Verizon in Gainesville and from what I understand there are a few test sites in Gainesville. So, it is very well possible you will hit 4G here from time to time until the rumored launch date in August.

Again all this is rumored from other reps and nothing is for sure.

In case someone didn't see it, Verizon confirmed (via Twitter) 4G for Gainesville launching Thursday!

I hope I'm next in line for 4G. Go Gators.

GO GATORS!!!

Maybe 4G LTE will be there by the time I drive up for football again?

BTW...Stubbies is the place for beers. Yes...my name is on the wall.

As of around 11:00PM Tuesday night, 4G is up and running strong in Gainesville, Florida.

Speed test app on my thunderbolt is show a maximum of 19.85 Mbps down and 9.87 Mbps up in with 4 bars.

My thunderbolt hooked up to my computer through easy tether is showing a maximum download speed of 9Mbps. The mobile hotspot gives me about 14mbps max download speed. Both easily fast enough to watch netflix in HD.

On the fringe of 4G coverage near Santa Fe College where I work, I can get 4G with the switch app. (by putting it to LTE only mode) Otherwise it tends to want to go back to 3G. Even still, using easytether, I get 6Mbps download speed on my computer! On the very edge of coverage!

Anyway, I'm a new member. I've been following this thread for info ever since I found the site and thread looking for info when 4G blipped on in Gatortown!
