Diary of a Los Angeles Based 4G Seeker

We’re currently playing with a Samsung Epic 4G here at YourTechReport, and driving around LA looking for 4G signal TOTALLY takes me back to my days of war-driving for wifi. Not that I EVER mooched other peoples wifi… [wink-wink]

It’s kind of a thrill when you fire up the 4G radio, and see the phone obtain an IP address, and when you can get it, 4G is stinking FAST.

So far I’ve found pockets of 4G at:

Hollywood @ Sunset & Vine – Very good signal 4Mbps streaming download speed

Culver City @ Venice & Sepulveda – Good signal 3Mbps

Burbank @ Burbank & Buena Vista – Poor signal, phantom connections, can’t keep sustained signal long enough to test download.

So my fellow Los Angelenos, is 4G lit up anywhere else I should test? Preferably someplace with really good pubs?

And for those of you NOT in LA, have you jumped on the 4G bandwagon yet?
