Birmingham is getting it sometime this year according to Verizon, when it unknown, it could be on now and in testing, it could be coming on in 6 months from now. Someone in the area with a 4g phone might be able to say if it is ever on/testing or not at least.
As for Auburn, it isn't listed and the closest city to Auburn getting 4G this year on verizon is Montgomery, so unless verizon adds cities or Montgomery gets a huge 4G coverage range, don't expect Auburn to see it anytime this year.
