The AT&T website shows LTE ending in the hills and none of the Valley covered...
I probably should have looked at that before deciding to stick with AT&T.

We have LTE from Verizon and AT&T here in OC but I think I am going to be glad that I switched to Verizon.
im on verizon and i tried running speedtest in different parts of LA(downtown, east la, south central, watts, compton, long beach primarily) and didnt manage to get anything over 5Mb. most of it was 2-3Mb. dont get me wrong its still a huge upgrade over sprint 3g just was expecting a little more
Yup, it seems the SF Valley doesn't have LTE yet. You'd think they'd have it in time for the iPhone 5 launch.
Anyone here have grandfathered unlimited iphone data? I had with my previous iPhone and upgraded to iPhone 5. When I check online to change features or view my services it does not show a data plan. When I am on the change feature screen it just offers unlimited data for non smart phones. Does the "Data Unlimited for iPhone on 4G LTE $30" show up in your features?
No. It doesn't. But if you go to your ATT app, data usage, it will say you've used blank amount out of 9999GB.
I don't get a section for data usage on the my AT&T app. It just shows my text messages used.
After I called AT&T to confirm my data plan the rep said I have Data Unlimited for iPhone on 4G LTE
In the My AT&T APP it says used 0 MB of unlimited. This feature was added on 9.21.12 and may be prorated.

I spoke to a rep that said "There's a tower planned to bring LTE to Studio City by the end of the year". Not sure if they were just saying that since I mentioned switching to Verizon, or if there actually is one planned. Plus, would "a tower" meet the needs for the area or does it require multiple towers?

And now an online chat with tech support said "We plan to have LTE rolled out in your area by the end of the first quarter 2013."

Yeah, can't believe no lte in the valley anywhere west of glendale. I'm taking my phone back and switching to Verizon. Rep was trying to downplay it like it was no big deal.
I had to call after it sat on 4G all day, in an area which has complete coverage. It's a reset on your dataplan and re-register you to the network. At least that's what they said they done with me to get only LTE... flying now.
I have AT$T with the grandfathered unlimited data. Drove from Corona to Newport Beach and never saw the LTE icon appear. It was 4g all throughout the drive. Speedtest also shows average of 3mbps down. Very disappointing AT$T

I had to call with my grandfathered plan. Does the map show that there is LTE coverage? If so, call Customer Care (not on your iPhone, as they had to reset stuff on my account).
What exactly did they change? I've spoken with Tech Support twice now and they have no clue. In fact they confirmed that I am in the LTE area and are perplexed as to why I'm not getting LTE.
