  • You mixed Iowa and Idaho in that list...
  • Hawaii (and its cities ) is also listed under Georgia.
  • Whoops. Fixed, thanks!
  • Same with Louisiana. It is mixed with Kentucky.
  • No Louisiana Sent from the iMore App
  • Verizon moved Liberal, Kansas into Oklahoma. Probably to make the sad list of Oklahoma Cities with the new XLTE look better.
  • Not bad, I live in Mobile, AL. We were getting to the point that we were getting congested and I was often dropping to 20 or even as low as 7 MB down. I appear to be at 30ish MB down again since this change.
