At 12:13 AM today, Skynet 4G LTE went active in my place in River North. All of a sudden my phone just went from Wi-Fi to 4G and still at this moment the 4G is active. The download speeds have varied between 5MB and 12MB and upload speeds have stayed between 10-12MB.

And with this screenshot, I'm not sure how my day can get better and it's only 45 minutes old:

My office is in the Sears Tower...been telecommuting for a few months now, so no LTE reports from there, but on the old EVO Wimax, I got zero Wimax 4G signal on the east side of the building (about 30 floors up). We then got moved to the west side and with a desk facing the windows, I got a pinch of Wimax about 2/3rds of the time. Moving the phone a few inches to the left or right could make or break a 4G connect.

 

Will have to head back downtown one of these days when there's a bit more LTE action going.

I got this at 7:41 yesterday morning again at Monroe and Clinton (follow up from the same spot on 10/10/12):

I also got a whiff of 4G at Adams and Wacker around 1:30 PM and wasn't sure if it was the same tower since the connection didn't last long enough.

Long time watcher, but I felt the need to make an account and post this:

Clinton and Monroe, West Loop, creeping into the Loop. My phone suddenly changed to 4G for about a minute and I was able to run a test and get this screen shot. Slow download, but better than nothing. Dare I say the end is nigh?
