I carpool from Discover Mills, and when riding to work, I frequently on my old EVO whipped out the speed test on every 4G wimax signal I got. My problem with that then was it was spotty and inconsistent, gaping holes up and down I 85. So bad that I couldn't even watch a youtube video because as soon as I got 4G (wimax) it was gone while in a car. Downtown it wouldn't penetrate my building unless I pressed my phone against the window. So if LTE is gonna be like that...I'm done. Somebody in a previous post told me to lighten up cause we don't pay extra for this. I call a BS on that, the $10 extra is likely for the 4G, I know they said it was for unlimited service, but how can you ever get extraordinary amounts of data, if your download speed is .30 kbps? I'm in for 2 years though...thanks to EVOlte.

The rollout isn't done until the end of the year so its to be expected. If its December and the coverage is still spotty then I'd be disappointed but as of right now I'm hopeful.

I just turned off my Evo 4G and activated my Evo 4G LTE to test LTE

So I checked in Lawrenceville (Discovery Mills) last night - No LTE

Right now I'm at St. Joseph's (400 & 285/Johnson Ferry Rd) - No LTE

 

Saucratiz - where are you getting the LTE only option? I just have CDMA/LTE or CDMA only.

Coverage is spotty. I live close to Discover Mills and I can get a strong 4G signal in my house (avg 20 Mbps with 32 being the highest). If I go a half of mile away from my house in any direction..back on 3G.

I work in Sandy Springs at 285/400 and can get a 4G decent signal in my office (avg about 6 Mbps). But I was only getting 3G at the intersection of Hammond Dr and Peachtree Dunwoody.

Maybe I'm really lucky to get it both at home and at work (although I use wifi at both so I don't really need it).

Well maybe a few spots. I had it at the Walgreen's on Buford hwy, but not off Old Peachtree between Sugarloaf and Bunten...yet

Correct. I have good coverage at home but I live near the Walgreens. I went to the Kroger on Sugarloaf yesterday and didn't get LTE.

Well if Suwanee & Lawrenceville have it hopefully Duluth is next

Duluth already has it. Been getting LTE since about 4 pm.

The bottom speed was a 3G test I did yesterday. Everything else is LTE.

Why am I not getting that speed? I have 4/5 bar.

Don't know. Are you in Gwinnett County?

LTE is live in Duluth area. Averaging between 18-25 Mbps from Speedtest.net. Fastest I've gotten so far was 32Mbps. All tests were done inside my basement.
