Albany, Ithaca, Syracuse, and Rochester will all have VZW 4G by the end of 2011. But no Buffalo love. > **[Verizon Announces Additional 4G LTE Cities for 2011, 145 Markets...](https://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/www.droid-life.com/2011/03/22/verizon-announces-additional-4g-lte-cities-for-2011/_index.html)** > > With the release of the HTC Thunderbolt last week, Verizon wants to make sure that more of you can take advantage of its ridiculous 4G LTE speeds.

I’m assuming they are migrating West. Ithaca? Syracuse? over Buffalo. Fuck that shit. ---

You can get 5 band ones for \<$300. Great investments in today’s world. Put a few in at some offices for that reason. Lol. They are pretty good range too. Usually about 150 feet. ---

If you have some decent electronic and soldering knowledge I’m sure you can make one yourself. Tons of military development went into these a while back for use over seas. It’s finally been reverse engineered by the Chinese and is cheap to even buy yourself. Here’s one that’s 100 [http://www.fububling.com/cephsibl4ram.html](http://www.fububling.com/cephsibl4ram.html) This one looks much better with a claimed 3 watt signal output [http://www.1sexykiss.com/product\_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products\_id=942](http://www.1sexykiss.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=942) I’m surprised it’s taking this long to get out there. They’ve had these overseas for close to a decade now with a realistic 50m range at least ---

it would be nice if we could get some decent 3g speeds in more areas before they worry about 4g. I’m lucky to get 50 kB/s at home.
