Oklahoma City has LTE but it doesn't show up no matter how far you zoom in, maybe they turned it off! LOL

Nope, not on Chrome or Firefox. Strange.

P.S. Notice how you drop to EDGE about 40 miles out from downtown OKC. Some of that wonderful AT&T coverage. LOL

It isn't just there. Indy, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Dallas and others have EDGE just miles outside LTE.

Sadly, it appears they have stopped rolling out HSPA+ entirely, only backhauling existing HSPA+.

I like that you mention Dallas as if this problem is a big deal. If you've ever traveled around the Texas Triangle, you'd know that virtually all parts of it are covered with HSPA+. The EDGE-only areas contain very, very few people. Those parts are literally deserted places.

We live in South Jersey, originally from
Philly. So I spend a lot of time on the road for the USPS as a tractor trailer driver. In Philly AT&T has always been good in data but in South Jersey not as good as Philly.

AT&T must have done some upgrades in South Jersey cause in the last week I'm getting fantastic speeds consistently in South Jersey on my iPhone 4S. I've always gotten 2-3 down in Philly consistently.

Yeah it's pretty depressing. I am told by the network tech in my area that we will have 3G in my area (northern MI) by this summer. But so far, they haven't expanded any 3G it seems. So I don't have too much confidence anymore in his statements

I didn't think AT&T was expanding just upgrading existing.

That's what people on here are saying, it's nonsense. I can name lots of expansion around here recently. That's not to say that they've definitely slowed down converting GSM-only areas to UMTS, they have. But they sure haven't stopped growing.

More like not suprising that at&t hasnt done anything. I would have noticed the changes if upgrades were done even without the map as it is, i still have to deal with dropped calls and rely on the M cell for indoor coverage and to reduce dropped calls.

At least we now have decent idea of how big LTE is in SoCal. A big improvement over the PR hype.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. The map doesn't show 4G LTE anywhere for me, and I've tried both IE and Safari, but it's simply not there. Probably some bug that was introduced with the upgrade. But I don't understand why some people see it and some don't.

for some reason it only renders in IE, why they would code it like that is beyond me.

It's working fine for me on both Firefox & Safari on OS X Lion.

It's also working fine for me in Google Chrome on Windows 7 SP1.

**Jordan T** · 04-20-2012, 11:14 PM

Works fine for me in Chrome on Lion. Verizon's new map update, however, broke THEIR maps for my in Safari and Chrome - now they only work in Firefox. Go figure. 'Twas the week for cell carriers to create browser compatibility problems I guess...
