T-Mobile LTE in Portland, OR

[intyleritrusted]

it appears that it was just launched in this market. I am in Vancouver Washington, a suburb of Portland and just noticed LTE on my N4 which has LTE permanently enabled.

Same here. I'm in Southeast Portland and I'm getting 30 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up on my new T-Mobile Galaxy S4. The icon clearly says 4g LTE. I'm only getting slightly faster (34Mbps) over wireless 802.11ac!! Amazing!!

Update:

Added some screenshots. Upload speed doesn't seem quite as good during the daytime but it's still nice.

Ohhhh yaaaaaa baby!!!!

I can confirm.... LTE in Portland! Didn't see it on any rollout list...but it is here....and it is fast!

Just noticed the 4G LTE icon on my S4... I'm in Sellwood and speeds are faster than my Comcast connection!

This is good...hopefully is not just a test or something...

I still say my HSPA+ speeds are plenty fast, but I'm jealous anyway. Damn this Nexus 4!

I never really thought of Vancouver as a suburb of Portland, but it totally is, isn't it? It's just a very awkward one, being across the river and in another state.

I've also been getting the 4G LTE symbol on my Galaxy Note 2 in the downtown area and the NE quadrant - between 15-30 Mbps download speeds. I'm glad I finally switched from Sprint in March, because even T-mobile's 4G HSPA+ has been far superior to Sprint's 4G WIMAX here in Portland. I never experienced the speeds that the original HTC EVO 4G promised with Sprint, and it?s LTE upgrade here is still probably a year away.

This is GREAT news! I live in KC which has LTE, but am moving to Portland in September. I thought I'd be missing out on LTE BUT I WON'T! Awesome. HTC One, btw.

Holy nuts, 30 down?! That's amazing!! I can't wait until they fire it up for real here in Nashville, it's been on here since mid-afternoon but it hasn't been THAT fast, lol!

what rom are you running? Assuming it is rooted to gain LTE radio, am currently in Portland too and am looking for a quick functional switch.

sorry accidently posted outside of replying, I am looking for an LTE activating ROM for my N4, which do you use?
