Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Data Issues Confirmed (Update: Back To Normal)
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 28, 2011 0 Comments">0
After spending the whole day running constant LTE speed tests, today is a bit different. In places that normally have 4G coverage by Verizon, we are lucky to be getting any data connection at all on our Galaxy Nexus. 3G is working fine for the most part in Silicon Valley around the Googleplex, but the same cannot be said in other parts of the country. This is not the first time Verizon admitted to having data troubles. In fact, exactly a week ago today, Verizon’s 4G LTE network was having the same troubles like the ones today. But rest assured, …
Verizon 4G LTE Speed Test Results (New York City)
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 28, 2011 4 Comments">4
After a few years of development, tons of commercials, and a lot of patient waiting, 4G LTE is finally here, for Verizon customers at least. And although not everyone is seeing the “up to 10x faster speeds”, I assure you LTE has landed. During my trip to New York City over the weekend, I was sure that my Galaxy Nexus would be picking up LTE speeds. Using Ookla’s Speedtest.net application, I tested my data download and upload speeds numerous times. The results varied depending on my location, but no matter where I was, it was easy to see difference between …

Of course, yesterday, December 22nd, was the rumored date of release. However, the day has come and gone without any definitive word from Verizon or Motorola. Despite the lack of info from big red, a piece of informations, shown above, has escaped from Verizon’s headquarters. It is pretty clear that the Droid 4 will be landing in Verizon on or around February 2nd, 2012. This quick change of release dates should …

For a while now, AT&T has been making some noise about their 4G network. And no, we’re no longer talking about their fake “4G” HSPA+ network. We are talking about big league connectivity, aka LTE (Long Term Evolution). On their website, AT&T states that they will cover over 70 million Americans and 15 cities by the end of 2011. John Stephens, the wireless provider’s CFO / SVP, announced at the UBS 39th Annual Global Media and Communications Conference that they are currently testing their LTE network in New York City. Although there is no official date set for the release …
Sprint LTE Set to Land in 2012 – New Phones On the Way Too
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 11, 2011 1 Comments">1
Just recently, we wrote an article about all of the U.S. LTE wireless providers. It was easy to tell that Verizon had a firm grip on the LTE market in America. However, almost every other provider behind Verizon was either working on an LTE network, or building upon its current 4G network. However, Sprint, America’s third most popular wireless provier, was not working on an LTE network to our knowledge at the time of the article’s publication. Instead, Sprint had decided to lengthen their WiMAX deal with Clearwire. As soon as you think that Sprint is going to stay with …

LTE: Verizon Versus the Rest of the Pack
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 04, 2011 5 Comments">5
As soon as you turn on your TV nowadays, chances are you are going to get blasted with tons of 4G or LTE commercials from all of the best wireless providers. Therefore, you are probably wondering which provider has the best 4G “LTE” network. First, we think it would be nice to define the terms “4G” and “LTE”: 4G: is the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to the 3G and 2G families of standards. LTE: This is also known as “3GPP Long Term Evolution”. Because LTE does not comply with the 4G standards, it is …

by Alexander Maxham on Oct 24, 2011 0 Comments">0
Last week Sprint announced a new member of the EVO family, the HTC EVO Design 4G. If you remember, in 2010 when the original HTC EVO 4G was released, it changed the Android world. It was way ahead of any other phone out there at the time. Both the Motorola Admiral and HTC EVO Design 4G are available for $99.99 on a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. The EVO Design 4G is a world phone with a 4.0-inch qHD display and a 1.2GHz CPU – not dual core, unfortunately. The Motorola Admiral features a processor with the same …
Sprint Axes Unlimited Data for Some Users
by Alexander Maxham on Oct 22, 2011 5 Comments">5
We were already sure that Sprint would be killing unlimited data pretty soon, but this looks to be the first step in the process. Sprint is now axing unlimited data for Mobile Broadband plans – as seen in the picture above. Instead of getting your allotment of 3G and unlimited 4G you are getting your allotment of 3G combined with 4G. For example if you have the 3GB of 3G plan it would be 3GB of both 3G and 4G together. It is important to note here that this does not affect your smartphone data plan, and for those of you with …
Verizon Wireless Users Experience Outage Last Night?
by Alexander Maxham on Oct 17, 2011 1 Comments">1
We’ve seen across many sites (including Twitter) that some Verizon Wireless users were having outages with their 4G service. It looks like its back up now for the most of you – but there might be a few that are still without any - gasp – 4G coverage . On the bright side, at least you can receive emails, etc., unlike when RIM had their huge outage last week, which lasted an unbelievable 3.5 days (Monday through Wednesday afternoon worldwide). Hopefully Verizon’s IT department has rectified this problem so every one has their 4G LTE service back as soon as possible. Let …

In this piece, we compare it to Apple’s latest – the iPhone 4S. Which one will come out on top?
