I was able to 16.5 Mb/s yesterday. With Thunderstick's Full Blown ROM I was only getting 6.

Lol... One of the nice parts of living in a slightly rural area where most people don't have 4g phones

Yeah but wait for a year and everyone will have a 4g phone and the speeds will drop. Then you will be the last to get a needed infrastructure upgrade since you're rural. Been there, done that. :D

Honestly, it will be a long time before they upgrade again. Look how long 3g has been around. Even if a bunch more people get on 4g its not a big deal because the population is still smaller than most areas.

That's great news. When did you start seeing it? My wife's razr didn't show it as of last week. What area specifically in lynchburg? They just recently have been wiring the towers and replacing the antennas, so I'm not surprised you are seeing it.

Yeah over here on Timberlake road I have seen the 4g symbol show up twice that I've noticed. Once at 4 am and it was up for about 30 mins and a second time this week for a couple mins in the afternoon

4mbps down, that's it? That's really slow. Two weeks ago I was getting 4G on Rivermont Avenue and was able to pull down 16mbps. How was your signal strength? I wonder if you were far from the tower.

    Richmond VA has 4G mainly in Mechanicsville and the VCU area. Spoty in the North Highland Park area and the West End is straight 3G (although the West End got a glimpse of 4G for a day around the end of July)

    In Northern VA it stops at around Woodbridge, a little spoty in Dale City however. Not sure how far west but I do believe Leesburg, Ashburn and Sterling all have 4G. If the person above is right who said Richmond would be complete around October, then it shouldn't be long after for Fredericksburg to be upgraded as well as its the mid way point between DC and Richmond on I-95.

    I believe he is telling the truth. I have seen a lot of Verizon workers at tower sites around Richmond lately.

    EDIT: this was a response to ghstrdr1985's last response. The quote didn't go thru I guess.
