AT&T Launches LTE in Columbus, Oh

Posted on 16th November 2012

AT&T announced earlier this year, that will will have their LTE service launched before the end of the in multiple markets. One of those was here in Columbus, Oh. Since the iPhone 5 has been in my pocket, I have enjoyed a fairly fast hspa+ network. Today, The LTE network was activated.

The network does not yet seem to be at full speed as I have seen around 30-50 Mbps in other markets. Speedtest.net shows around 20 Mbps this morning.

All in all, LTE is live. Now if only AT&T would make Internet FaceTime a no pay option, we all would be set. Sprint’s turn soon? Who knows.

Weeks with the iPhone 5

Posted on 11th November 2012

This includes the fabled new maps application, find my friends, and widescreen retina display.
