Buying my Thunderbolt in July is finally paying off! Can't wait.

Go up to the Notre Dame area. They've had 4g for quite a few weeks now.

 

[Pyroponce]

I know Verizon's been testing it around Notre Dame, and I'll get the signal intermittently because of that, but I'm never on that side of town. It'll be nice to have those speeds wherever I go, including Elkhart when I see my parents.

Well I'm in Plymouth and I think we're still analog down here, so I am blinded by hatred and jealousy.

You think we're that advanced? I'm thinking some spots are still being covered by tin cans and a piece of string. Warsaw was just as bad (same with quite a few spots along 30 going to Ft. Wayne).

The area around Rochester is way way worse. No Verizon 3g signal down there at all. I feel like it's the mid 90's when I have to drive down there.

Well if you get away from the big BOOM TOWN of Rochester, quite a few of the residents seem to think it is mid 90s or earlier. An aunt and uncle had a place on Bruce Lake and there seemed to be a slight time warp in quite a few places.
