    LTE Growing in PA on the 25TH - Philadelphia Market

    I was told today the Philly market is expanding on the 25th. I am not sure if Verizon usually announces all expansions or not. Regardless I mentioned in another thread a few days ago that I was seeing intermittent LTE in areas further outside the city. It looks like this could be why. Should be a fairly large radius covered around the city once this goes live.

    Any idea what areas this could be? It's hard to be excited anymore about LTE in my area since I'll probably never see the LTE iPhone on Verizon if they jack the data rates up too high. Sigh

    He told me it was Northwest of the city. My best guess is possibly filling in the area from Montgomeryville over to King of Prussia area and maybe starting up 476 to tie the coverage in with the Lehigh Valley. The info is from our Verizon Business rep, so maybe slightly more reliable than a CSR's information, but still a wait and see. He has been accurate before and he has missed before on everything from coverage to launch dates.

    The area you are describing is where I am located, in Skippack, PA and there is LTE coverage within 5-6 miles in 3 directions here.

    It did not go live with LTE at least here in Skippack today.

    Anyone else in this area seeing any expanded LTE coverage today?

    I can confirm LTE went live on Tuesday afternoon in Exton.
    I get a strong signal at RT 30 and Whitford Rd. The signal drops to 3G as you go north towards the PA Tpk. Haven’t checked the other directions…

    Montgomeryville area is definitely live now. I have 3-4 bars of LTE all around today.
