So here's some tests since I got home. Only went over 2 Mbps once, but overall not bad. Sent from my JB iPhone 4S using Forum Runner

Well, definitely looks like the backhaul is in place there. Maybe LTE testing will kickoff soon, and you'll get to test it. Keep us posted. Robert - Had one question for you. Last night when I noticed my phone dropping off 3G for switching to the new backhaul... there was not a soul at the site. Is this something that is done remotely?

Were the speeds faster in the evening? If so, that might be due to a lighter load on the tower you were accessing. Or, you might be accessing a different tower in Palatine. Like for me, not all towers in Aurora are complete. There's another tower about 1.5 miles away from the tower I access, and that one is still on the legacy backhaul. So, odds are, not all towers in a specific "city" are going live on the new backhaul at the same time.

LOL, yes... Imagine that! My regular 9-5 gig is at a tech support call center. I don't DJ as much as I used to... moving into management has really taken a toll on my free time these days

I didn't think to have him check this morning. Can't check now since we're both at work, but once we get home, I'll post some more results from my phone, and what he's getting as well. P.S. - In case anyone lives in the Aurora/South Naperville/Montgomery/Oswego area, this is tower CH03XC684. Located basically on the intersection of Eola and Hafenrichter Roads. Feel free to speedtest it if you're in the area! (if anyone has an LTE capable phone, I'm dying to know if that's live on this tower)

Here's the speedtest screenshots from this morning. Got a peak of 2.45 Mbps... sooo excited about this! Here's the 3 tests I ran back to back.

No worries! Turns out it might have been some sort of fluke or maybe a hiccup of bringing the new backhaul live. I just tested this morning and am consistently getting speeds faster than 2 mbps down. It's really amazing! For some reason forum runner is not letting me attach pics... I'll do it later when I get to a pc. Sent from my JB iPhone 4S using Forum Runner

I just ousted Patrick R. as the mayor of Marinkovich/Ryan Home on @foursquare! http://t.co/J48Qmhci

Update: So after updating the PRL a bunch of times and rebooting, my iPhone is finally latching on to 3G. However... The 3G speeds are weird. Ping times are rock solid (between 90 and 110ms)... However download speeds are struggling to hit 1mbps but upload consistently is hitting 1mbps. My partner updated his PRL for the heck of it and now his iPhone can't latch onto 3G. Perhaps this PRL is no good or out of date for the network upgrade?? I've attached a speedtest screenshot. Sent from my JB iPhone 4S using Forum Runner

Okay now this is getting weird. My iPhone refuses to hold onto 3G, while my work blackberry is now picking up 3G and speed testing a consistent 1.1-1.5 mbps down. My partners iPhone is definitely showing signs the new backhaul is live. He's getting between 1.5 - 2.5 Mbps down on 3G. I've updated my iPhone with ##update# and rebooted... Still nothing. Running field test and watching the Evdo status is nuts. It's keeps jumping between channel 725, 550, 675, 650... All over the place. Any ideas what's going on?

Well, seems like something is going on here in Aurora, specifically with site CH03XC684. Around 9:20pm, 3G dropped and I can only get 1x at this point. I know it's not my location since my home is only 1700~ feet from the tower. I'm really hoping they're cutting over to the new backhaul. I'll be periodically speed testing tonight.... Stay tuned for results. Sent from my JB iPhone 4S using Forum Runner
