Default VZW LTE Deployment

Hold on to your hats for VZW LTE deployment and the first devices (of which I hope is an amazing new Blackberry!!)

I am lucky enough to live in an area that is in the first markets (Rochester) and of course I had to upgrade one of my employer's USB devices to test on.

30 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up with only 3 bars of signal where I was. This was on multiple tests from a couple different speedtest sites. I didn't have time to mess around with a lot of tests for differing signal strength yet, but holy cow that is amazing. Blows my cable connection out of the water!

$50 per month for a 5 GB limit and $80 for a 10 GB limit.

It will take quite a mobile device to simply handle the data that can be brought down at this bandwidth.

I am impressed.
