Where or where did my LTE go!!
Rebooted my phone at 5am as I prepared to go to work, as I reboot every morning. You all should be rebooting your Android phones once a day folks, they work much better that way. Anyway, and I notices that I way on a 1x signal. After rebooting twice with no change, I called Verizon to find out that 4G LTE is down nation wide. He said they are having a problem with the 4G and it could be affecting 3g as well. I'm in Houston, and I tell you that 3g is affected. 1x , I can get out of my car and walk faster than 1x. COME ON VERIZON, GET IT FIXED!!! This is going to be a long day. The Verizon guy said it might be a good day to get closer to your coworkers. I don't think so!
I feel your pain. I too am in Houston, up at 5am with a 30 mile commute into town. No 4G. Rebooted. 1X only. Owch. I normally get 4 bars in town with crazy speeds. I guess I was bragging a bit too much over the last few weeks and the karma kicked in.
On a side note I also own a mustang:

TB uses a different kind of 3G. Called eHPRD iirc.
Sent from my brain using my fingers.
My work Blackberry also has 3G. From what I've read it looks like the TB has a "special" 3G that's out in conjunction with the LTE. I'm stuck on 1X here in Houston as well on my TB. Laptop air cards also took a giant hit.

Because the thunderbolt runs off a different 3G, called eHPRD

Yes I am BB admin and my Verizon work BB has 3G no setting change, but yes, TB with LTE 4G capabilities suffers when this happens, I did the ##778# hack and now have 3 G works fine, will switch back later to see if fixed.
No 3G here in DC.....At least I have wifi
