Had 4G service on I94 between State rd and Saline Ann Arbor. Didnt have time to stop and map it, but I did get a speed test at around 5.2 mpbs down and 2.3 up while going 75 mph. Very exciting! I may or may not have freaked out when I saw the 4G icon next to my bars

Nice! I went up there the other day but as soon as it connected to 4G it booted me down to 3G

I've noticed the purple keeps creeping out farther from Howell. Is that still the same towers and people are just getting readings farther away? Or is it spread to Brighton lol

For sure. That would be awesome. Honestly lately my 3g speeds have been decent enough but to have lte would be awesome!

Meh, nvm. I think it was just my phone

Not sure if its just me or what, but since around 4 pm today in A2 I haven't had data at all. Could be my phone but I've never had this happen before...

Lol let's go BLUUEEE!!!

Yeah this is all very exciting. Cant wait to start seeing some purple in A2!

Howell is about 30 minutes from me and I've been looking for an excuse to go on a nice cruise in the LS. Might have to go check it out if we can get a location

I'm not sure what happened but my 3g speeds have gone from averaging 150kbps to 1.5mbps in my little town just south of Ann Arbor (Saline for those of you that know the area). Whether they are doing NV or not I don't know, but they clearly did something and I'm a content customer again

Whats the news on the Galaxy Nexus? Is it playing nice with LTE? (though I suppose I am running ROMs so that could effect that)

How often do our phones natively look for 4g? I mean, they must check every now and then right?

I agree. I was typing faster than I was thinking. That was a bad example Lol

Sorry for clarifying.... No, that was a bad way to make my point, sorry about that. What I should have said was this; If someone is loading a little bit of information from the internet (like people do with facebook all the time) on a lower bandwidth (as long as it isn't too low) lower latency connection compared to a higher bandwidth higher latency connection, the phone with the 'slower' connection is going to appear faster to the average user. Heres an example of the a study that says checking the weather is the number one thing people do on their smartphone (http://www.huffingto..._n_1818632.html). If they are updating a moving weather map or something of the sort that might take a bit of data, but if they are just refreshing some weather stats do you really think the higher bandwidth comes into play (if lets say we have a 700kbps/60ms compared to 20mbps/200ms)? I would argue 6 of those top 'things people do on their smartphones' aren't very data intensive and dont need a high bandwidth connection, meaning latency would probably be more helpful in making the phone appear to be faster. Many things people do on their phones are small data things, not large data things (though watching video is number two on that list)

What? That Verizon has lower latency than Sprint?
