Verizon Wireless managed to release their 4G LTE network in the Grand Rapids area ahead of schedule on Wednesday. In their original plans the service wasn't to go live until June 16th, which was part of another 21 market 4G LTE deployment. This early launch is reportedly covering Cascade Township, East Grand Rapids, Kentwood and Wyoming, however, the Verizon coverage map hasn't been updated yet. If you're in a 4G area you can typically expect to see between 5-12Mbps download and 2-5Mbps upload, in fact many users across the U.S. are reporting even faster speeds!
Their 4G LTE network is currently available in 55 markets and some of the cities in the Michigan area slated to go live on June 16th are:
- Flint, Flushing and Grand Blanc.
- Lansing, Dewitt, Dimondale, East Lansing, Haslett, Holt, Laingsburg, Okemos and Waverly.
- Ann Arbor, Brighton, Plymouth, Walled Lake and Ypsilanti
