Get ready for another round of LTE launches everyone!
Last week Verizon Wireless launched 4G LTE in 28 new markets and they're already announcing new launch markets set to go live on August 18th. The list below has been compiled by Droid Life and isn't official yet, but indicated by a variety of sources. Verizon's 4G LTE network is designed to deliver between 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up.

Matt, I know this has been discussed before somewhere but can a MiFi 2200 crd receive 4G service? If not can I upgrade at no charge under a current Verizon plan?

No, the MiFi 2200 is a 3G only modem and you'd need to upgrade to a 3G/4G device like the Mifi 4510L. There are cheaper devices, but this would be the best one that offers you the same feature set as the MiFi 2200 plus a 3G/4G antenna port!

We had a MiFi 2200 3G and then here a while back Jo was helping the wife of one of our National Guard officers who was being deployed. (He is one of Jo's co-workers.) Anyway, after seeing the speed of the new 4G unit, we upgraded to one ourselves. It works very good.
We have a trip planned to the Colorado Springs area in October, so it looks like we'll get to see if we can get 4G outside of the city itself. We'll be at Mountaindale RV Park, which is about 15 miles from Colorado Springs.

Mountaindale will not be covered by the 4G roll out. Neither will Woodland Park, where I am now.
