Verizon's map is a little optimistic. If allowed to zoom in to street level magnification detail, one would see that, while yes, LTE covers a broad area, more detailed areas would show varying levels of signal strength. Verizon's signal is not the same strength over the entire covered area on the map. The possibility to receive stronger signal exists in that entire area, but low lying land, dense building areas, and proximity to other interferences would show less red and more white and lighter red areas. It only shows where you will get possible LTE from the large base area.
