Where can I learn more about LTE coverage and build out schedules in the US?
Solution 1:
Not much in the way of a major community database of real-world speeds, sadly. Here are some other resources:
- Verizon's LTE coverage map
- AT&T's HSPA+ coverage map (and overview)
- Overview of all major carriers, and another (older)
- More general information on current/planned deployments
- Verizon coverage map with speed tests - Minneapolis/St. Paul area only.
You might also use the FCC's GIS data to find out more about what towers already exist. Presumably, they're not going to build new towers for LTE - just add antennae to existing sites.
