Was just at roosevelt field. Had full lte service. Hit 50 mbps. Looks like once you start going east of roosevelt field, you start dropping bars until it switches back to 4g.

I was excited to see LTE turned on near my office today (Garden City/Uniondale) I was hoping it went throughout Nassau County, but unfortunately it dopped to 4G just west of the Wantagh Pkwy on the Northern State.

Do we have any idea if this still testing or a genuine rollout? If a rollout, anybody have any idea when the rest of Nassau will get LTE?

It should be a roll out......I keep hearing by the end of this year.

Off topic question...How did you get that Silver Apple badge wallpaper for iPhone i want one.

----------

I'm in oceanside and my iPhone 5 has been bouncing on and off of LTE all day. I hope that means they are getting ready to launch.

At least you guys are bouncing....I still go from 4G with LTE off to 4G with LTE on:D

I only seem to get 2 bars inside and 3 outside but i think once they are done it will be 5 bars....i cant wait even with just 2 bars the download is pretty fast.

I'm in Bellerose between Union Turnpike and Hillside, I get on and off LTE, mostly LTE but sometimes it'll be 4G for a little in certain places.
 
I've been experiencing the same spotty LTE on and off from approx 7PM until 12 AM - yesterday. I have 't seen LTE this morning yet.

The areas I had LTE last night were from Elmont, heading east to the Garden City Park/Westbury area. Some areas had a full, exciting 5 bars! Others [namely my neighborhood], had 1, 2, 3.

I'm Hoping, like the rest of you, that once they fully implement this, we will all have a full 5 bars of rip-roaring LTE!

There's LTE on my block in Hempstead, off Front St. I was blazing a dubbie in a car with friends when I noticed it. :) We tested it against my friends iPhone 4s and all I can say, 'LTE=WIFI.'

@Cscottrun. There are no yellow dots on Long Island. The only yellow dots I see are in Connecticut, above Long Island.

It's 1:59pm and I have LTE and had it all morning but only 2 bars. However I noticed that the 4G has seemed to only get 2 bars as well since LTE has been being spotted.

you have to zoom in to long island to see all the yellow dots. But i dont think they have anything to do with LTE
