Verizon 4G blankets more locations, July 21st
Verizon has been making great efforts, to cover our states with as much 4G as they can, in a fairly short period of time. They remain well on track to meet their goal of adding 4G LTE to 175 markets by the end of the year. Starting July 21st, they are again adding another new set of locations to their 4G/LTE map.
These cities include:
• Wilkes-Barre, PA
• Charleston, WV
• Wichita, KS
• Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
• Louisville, KY as well as Los Angeles and San Diego, CA are set to receive further expansion.
Verizon customers in the areas mentioned above can get excited about the 12Mbps real-word downlink speeds and up to 5Mbps uplink speeds. If you are interested in an LTE device, Verizon currently has three in its roster: the Samsung Droid Charge, the HTC Thunderbolt, and the LG Revolution. We will continue to keep you updated on Verizon’s plans to bring 4G LTE to the rest of America.
How will Verizon’s LTE offering stack up to rival T-Mobile’s improved HSPA+ network?
Is Verizon's 4G in your neighborhood yet?
Will you stay with Verizon for it's LTE services, or will their new tiered pricing, chase you somewhere else?
Let me know in the comments below.

Just a question but is Sprint expanding on its WiMax 4G coverage still? I heard a rumor that they were. I was picking up a 4G signal in some parts of San Diego but i thought i might have been seeing things. An how many Markets does Sprint have that has 4G?
An to answer your question, I would hate to be a new activation to Verizon with their soon plan change. all that 4G speeds an you have to monitor how much you use.
still no word on when Iowa will see first 4g service….nice to see VZW going a there usual snail pace…..
@PPCFreak,
Don’t worry, I live in CT, 45min inbetween Hartford and Providence, I bet you’ll get LTE service before me.
I have to use a network extender to get fairly good service in my home. So by major cities and you’ll see it before I do.
I have been with Verizon for about 5 Years now. This new Tiered data plan I believe is going to push me away. I am seriously thinking of moving over to Sprint when the Photon 4G comes out.
