No 4G roaming on Cincinnati Bell

[armyof12monkey]

I purchased the unlocked HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus for use on Cincinnati Bell's network. I live in Montgomery, Ala., but Cincinnati Bell's 4G roaming network extends down here. Unfortunately, all I can access is the EDGE network.

A Cincinnati Bell rep says it's because it's something to do with the roaming member towers not working with unlocked phones and needing to use a Cincinnati Bell branded phone.

I imagine that's some marketing ploy and can be fixed, though I wouldn't even know where to begin to fix it. I imagine it's a software thing -- is there something I can do, maybe root the phone and alter the code to allow 4G roaming?

Help is much appreciated.

Did you ever get this solved? If not, let me know and I'll tell you how to fix it.

mbwelch, I have not. I am back in my native Cincinnati, but I still don't get 4G service. It only says "H" by the bars, not "H+" or "4G" and the data connection is slower than wifi.
