A friend of mine went and upgraded his phone yesterday at a Sprint store and he said that the employees were all talking about the LTE service in Charlottesville going live on 2/11/14. I'm contemplating making the switch to Verizon to same some money and consolidate some bills as I already have a LTE MiFi through them cause I needed high speed connectivity for work, and Sprint's 3G in the area just wasn't covering it....
