It also seems like coverage has been improved. Perhaps a function of the upgrades or maybe they actually added towers. They really do not offer any sort of information.

There is 4GLTE in Clifton forge and iron gate (Shentel), tiny towns compared to places like Roanoke, Christiansburg and Lynchburg. I have found eHRPD in Roanoke. It is available when the radio is initializing and then it falls back to evdo .

Long time lurker here, from the Roanoke, VA Area.

During nTelos second quarter earnings call, they were asked about their LTE plans. They did not want to comment, at the time, but said that they would unveil their road map for LTE very soon, as they are putting their resources into upgrading their mobile backhaul. I know this isn't exactly what we wanted to hear, but at least we know that there is a plan. Here's the link to the transcript :

There is also the fact that they will be carrying the iPhone 5. Apple tends to be very bullish about what they expect from carriers, so I'm guessing that they had to offer a concrete road map to LTE, in order to get apple to allow them to resell it.
