Nope, not even close. In most of its markets, USCC has only 6 MHz downlink bandwidth of Lower 700 MHz spectrum. LTE requires the max 20 MHz downlink bandwidth to even approach 100 Mbps peak throughput.
LTE is scaleable by bandwidth. Not all LTE deployments are created equal.

That may be the case now. But not after U.S. Cellular is done upgrading their current network to support "true" 4G speeds. U.S. Cellulars LTE will be ...
Re: "I understand fair price and how both companies should gain something from this"
I'll tell you what Cellular South has to offer Verizon... The tons of cash it'll pay out to them to roam on their "data" network which is the same as their "voice" network. Stop being so cynical and let the smaller carriers have the same benefits.
Re: I side with VZW and AT&T

The large companies don't want to expand into some of the low profit rural areas. Small regional carriers provide service to those customers when no one else will, but the larger carriers won't let those customers roam when they leave home. If you live in a small town you might only have one choice for service and the small carrier is only licensed to provide rural service, they can't expand their infrastructure. The airwaves belong to the ...
Re: What incentive do small carriers have...
This article applies to regional carriers using verizon and att's network outside of their own markets... Most rural carriers I know offer 3G speeds in their own markets. At least in the state where I live.
Re: What incentive do small carriers have...
Smaller carriers can't just up and build networks in areas they wish to. In order for "smaller carriers" to establish a new market, they must acquire the spectrum for that desired market. Which is most likely already owned by Verizon. So yes, they have to strike up a roaming agreement with Big Red to allow their customers access while outside of their home area. This is not "bad business" it's the only way to provide ...
Re: Lame FCC

It's not VZW or AT&T fault that these local carriers don't want to invest in building towers around the country. There's a reason why these big 2 spend the money to expand in order to be #1.
If any agreement is reached then just give them 10kbps speed while on roaming.
Well, smaller carriers only have networks established in their own markets. For example, U.S. Cellular just can't start building cell cites and towers in Florida because they ...
Awesome!!!
This is great for U.S. Cellular! Even though they are a regional carrier with 6 million customers. They will be an option for customers in the surrounding areas looking to jump ship from T-Mobile regarding the merger. With At&T having to give up some spectrum this will be a great opportunity for U.S. Cellular to widen their network capabilities. Proving more solutions for customers looking elsewhere after the "merger" completes! Props to U.S. Cellular to remain competitive ...
Hi
Do subscribers really care about this? I'm curious to know.
Re: Their the worse!!
Come to U.S. Cellular!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll treat you right!!!!!! :) :) :)
HTC Desire > HTC Incredible
The HTC Desire will stomp all over the Incredible. Just like Verizon to release a phone with little testing. Don't get me wrong, it looks sweet from the outside. But wait for all the issues to come along with it. Now the best news I've heard all year is that the HTC Desire will be coming to U.S. Cellular from leaks I've seen online. PhoneArena rated it damn near perfect and said it's the ...
