Verizon is adding even more cities to its 4G LTE coverage map, bringing the next-gen network to a total of 258 markets nationwide.

Dear. Verizon hattiesburg and Jackson for crying out loud!
Whoo more hagerstown love!!
…they are the, top dogs for a reason…
maybe im wrong about this but even though i love that verizon is on top of their stuff with getting 4g out and reliable service. it’s still not good enough for me to switch from a GSM carrier.
and i’d be willing to bet my life that i’d get screwed just as much as AT&T would screw me. except with verizon it would be a whole new mess of issues that i dont know how to deal with. i do think GSM is going to triumph in the end but verizon is pretty deeply embedded which blows because theyre just going to sit in the way as long as they can im sure.
a word to verizon (and all CDMA carriers that apply): i dont want you to have control over my phone, if i dont like your service and stop paying my bill because you suck – i want to be able to take my phone to another carrier. i would much rather be able to take my phone to any carrier instead of buying a special cdma version for your network (your phones dont work with other cdma carriers, as far as i know).
Just left Sprint for Verizon on the 28th, bought my Rezound at the corporate store in Eugene, and noticed that it was connecting to LTE, so I figured it wasn’t long before Eugene was officially turned on.
What sucks is almost every city around me has 4G. Im in Lynchburg VA and its just sad how long its taking for them to expand it only a little ways down the road from Roanoke or Richmond
insane…
Population-
Williston ND: 14,716
Dickinson ND: 17,787
Mitchell SD: 15,254
Total: 47,757 All getting VZW 4g
Bismarck, ND: 108,779 and no 4g
Can someone please explain how and why this makes any sense? 3 cities all in the same region with a combined population of half of the state capitol get 4g… What genius overthinker at VZW read this plan and ok’ed it? Please VZW fire them and hire a monkey or squirel, they would do a better job.
