How Fast In What Areas?

[Piederman]

Got a question: I keep hearing (and reading) about how blazing fast the Thunderbolt is, and how so many people are wowed by it. Fair enough. But here's my question: Is this only in the 4G areas? And, if so, where are these 4G areas?

The reason I ask is because I currently have an HTC Inspire, and am considering switching to Verizon from AT&T in order to get the Thunderbolt, but only because of how fast I've heard it is. As I do not live in a big city, will I notice any difference where I live (and spend 90% of my life)?

This is an important factor in my decision. Thanks!

are you wanting to know if the lte is fast or if the phone itself is fast?

Yes this phone typically gets praise in 4G areas where u can really notice the speeds. I currently live in a 4g area and whenever i turn it on 3G there is a huge difference in internet speeds. Verizon has a place on their website where u can check the 4g areas Coverage Locator - Verizon Wireless

Yeah this thing is blazing fast on 4g lte. I consistently get 15 to 23 mb down and over 20 up. In fact 15 is the lowest down speed ive gotten. i use the hotspot feature all the time now cause my schools internet sucks. Im definitely going to pay the extra 20 or so a month once may 15th comes around.
