Do a speed test. just turned on tonight around 9?

Let me know what the status is. Just wanted to inform the people of this forum

AT&T has launched LTE in Tyler/Longview area! Maybe they will make a network announcement soon on their website. Still speeds are a little faster on Verizon in East Tyler. Could be cause so many devices were connecting to the new LTE network.

I knew T-Mobile was stepping up their game. I do agree T-Mobile does have fewer towers in Tyler than any carrier. Here at my Apartment T-Mobile is useless. I might get 1 bar of 4G if i go outside. Not only that but this is a big college apartment complex. Old Omen and University here. Surprisingly T-Mobile is the only carrier that gets service in my house in Rockwall. They've stepped up in the past 2 years and added more towers in the area. Let's hope this continues into the Tyler area as well. I hate to say it but i'd rather see them get ranked number 3 in the U.S.

I use AT&T. I have nothing Sprint. I have; T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon devices

Yeah I know. I just moved here for School. From Rockwall

There goes my hopes of getting LTE here in Tyler before I move back to the DFW area. Been here for two years. Absolutely insane.

Anyone know when the AT&T spectrum deal with Verizon is to be completed in the Tyler area to turn on AT&T LTE? By the examples of the speed tests done on the Sprint Network, T-mobile is by far faster. I would like to see Sprint gain faster speeds especially on LTE. No wonder they rolled out unlimited plans for life. Then, when you fall off their network you "roam" on Verizon for example using lower 3G speeds. Whereas on AT&T you fall back on 4G HSPA+ which a whole lot faster than getting 1-2 mbps down. Verizon in East Texas by far has the most advanced network speeds judging that I'm using an iPad.

I wanted to join this thread along with ya'll. I was doing some research to find out when AT&T is finally getting LTE in Tyler but have had no luck. Tyler and Longview are stuck without LTE. Its pretty funny looking at it on the map. No offense but if Sprint or T-mobile gets LTE in Tyler before AT&T I'm just gonna have to leave the big blue carrier. That would be a sad story. I do not own anything Sprint. I have a Verizon iPad running LTE and a T-mobile 4G HSPA+ hotspot pre paid device. I live near the UT campus. T-Mobile is the only carrier that has poor reception where i live. I have heard from many people in Tyler that Sprint is the worst in this area. I suppose this could be lack of towers or data? I've looked on the root metrics map that gives the rating and Verizon is #1 for this area. I'd be more than happy to check for ya'll if anything has been done or even take pictures. I'm a college student taking online classes therefore leaving me plenty of time in the day to swing by and get more information. Thanks Richard
