The numbers from Verizon 4G are out and they look good. Based on testing in the Boston and Seattle areas, Verizon is saying publicly that average network speeds for a real life 4G network will be 5-12 Mbps for downloads and 2-5 Mbps for uploads.

That would make Verizon 4G one of the fastest phone networks in North America. The new network is due for launch in around 30 cities later this year, initially for non-phone devices like modems – Verizon compatible 4G phones aren’t expected in stores until 2011.
