Good thing I live in the city right next to the #6 city in the US(use to be #5), but we got rev-a in my area right when they were talking about releasing it. lol.

I don't really see a problem with so many cell towers as one, they provide TONS of service to other cell phone companies......I mean shoot, Alltel has
always been ran off of Verizon's cell towers since the day it started.
All of those service they provide equals more income, which equals more towers and more money to spend on making them better.
Therefore the only thing that is stopping them from being able to get it done right now, is not wanting to shelling out the cash.

It's kinda interesting that I have got speeds right around the broadband speed, which is 768kbps according to their site, and fast 3g is 1000kbps.
I kept clearing the cache so it was legitimate, but what's really funny about it is I had one bar out of my 5 total that I could have.
I've never had problems with speed or any kind of problems with Verizon over other companies....except customer service at times (since it became Verizon, but with Alltel there was no customer service problems if you called the 1-800 number, the stores were a pain though).
