Who here has consistent 4G LTE Cellular Data?
I have seen 4G LTE coverage maps of Sprint/Verizon and both are spotty at best.

I have Sprint and have 3G coverage and roaming. My coworkers on Verizon and ATT also have 3G coverage also. Sucks that technology improvements are slow to reach my area. I know metro areas are first to adopt/receive new tech. I hate those damn 4G LTE Ads. There is no 4G LTE service with any carrier in this little valley. (Coachella Valley)

Driving up to Oregon this summer to visit a friend. Sure hope I can test this new fangled "4G LTE" service on my stops through Sacramento/San Franciso/San Jose.

I've got LTE with AT&T on an iPhone 5.

46Mbps at my office. 26Mbps at home. Faster than my cable modem.

But voice-service is not so reliable as with my iPhone 4. Calls drop very often.

I'm a little LTE in the loafers......does that count.......???

I am supposed to have it on Sprint, but I barely get 3g

Doc, forgot where you are, but that is some nice speed.

Sprint was supposed to roll out 4G to more locations nationwide last year, but it hasnt happened.

Well, in Los Angeles, I find Verizon LTE to be very widespread and reliable (use it on my iPad, mobile hotspot, and USB modems). AT&T LTE on my iPhone? Not so much. I often find myself turning it off because I'm getting no data and revert to the HSPA+ 4G network in order to get data to work.

It's where I'm at fortunately. They sped up 3G some kind of way too.

With my AT$T plan with 200 MBs/month, I could care less that my iPhone 5 isn't accessing 4G LTE.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

Verizon on the iPad 3. It's solid and reliable. Only rare visits to 3G land.

Coverage is very region specific, unless we are referencing the same places frequented by the OP, our anecdotal experiences won't be of much help in deciding what carrier to choose.

No kidding. Those users on tight data caps aren't getting much benefit from LTE.

Not deciding what carrier to go with, just wondering how widespread 4G LTE is and the connection quality.

I have a $50 unlimited data/text Sprint SERO premium plan with an iPhone 5. I don't plan to leave Sprint anytime soon. Wife pays $65 with a corporate/government discount for unlimited data/text on her iPhone 4s.

Kids get impressive 4G coverage from VZW in NE Ohio. I have to encourage them to not go over our data cap.

ATT. Works great except when it doesn't

AT&T has pretty good LTE coverage, but combined with the 4G HSPA+ it is widespread.

LTE gets me 15 Mbps down and 5 up at home, 31Mbps down and 11 up at my mom's house.

My DSL is good for 6 down and .7 up.

Vz here on iPhone. No problems.
