I figured it would be cool to see how many people actually have and use 4G that come here.
I've had a 4G phone since launch day of the Evo 4G and have never been in a 4G area. BTW I'm not *****ing I bought my phones because I thought the hardware was very good and never expected to see 4G. Thats why I have a 30mb/sec home broadband connection lol.
I honestly always forget to use it. My 3g is fast enough anyways
I only use it when i tether and if 4g is available when i tether

When I'm on a Sense ROM and not home or out using Wi-Fi, I'll use 4G. Looking forward to LTE though.
I keep mine on all the time 4g is reliable around here.

Funny, my story is exactly the same. Always have a 4G phone, but have never had 4G coverage. I sometimes get 4G when I go to Columbus, but I don't go very often. Cincinnati also has it, but I don't travel there often either. I have 30mb broadband at home and an airrave, so my 3G speeds are good at home. Around town 3G is awful here. Even if I have a strong signal the 3G speeds are absolute ****. Hopefully the Network Vision will make it better, but I'll believe it when I see it.
I use it as much as possible. I mean, I get 5mb down out in town. So it makes downloading high definition porn a lot easier. XD
I use 4g a few times a week. I don't turn it on unless I'm downloading roms. otherwise uses to much battery and takes to long to turn on compaired to wifi. I get 7mb down on 4g, so its not like it isn't quick enough for a phone. My broadband is 10mb. 3g is usually fast enough. By the time I turn on 4g and start a download 3g usually is finished. For apps from the market that is.

I have been consistently getting speeds lower than 80kbps down and 600up for over a month now. They haven't done anything no mater how much I call. They finally put in a tower ticket so it would be fixed in 72 hrs and I was to be notified that never happened. I'm terminating my service I can't justify paying for such low speeds. An the best part is its just the one tower right near my home the one up the road works fine.

I just did the math, downloading that slow 24 hours a day for 30 days you only use 18GB +/- so I'm not sure I understand the people that say they'd cancel if sprint removed unlimited plans. You wouldn't hit the cap at current speeds. Now if you are one of the people that actually get market average speeds I could understand that logic, but the rest of us would much rather have high speed...
I want to switch to Verizon, I just can't afford double cost for half the minutes, and data. I'm unlimited everything with sprint. I would trade it for a tiered plan that had Verizon service...just not at double the cost. Verizon has great service but for how cheap it is to run these networks they are priced too high.
you can also check here for tower maintence which is a little more specific than that other link posted before.

Could always jump to VZW and enjoy their constant outages while I understand that crappy of a speed is as bad as a outage still. Lol hopefully there are some upgrades for ur towers soon.

I don't know, I'm no where near my cap and just tested my 4G speed and was only getting 0.17M download. Complete garbage.
I haven't really tested it since the OTA updated the radio, possible that messed it up?

I think something might be going on with Verizon. I'm on an unlimited plan and still have only hit about 5gb so far this month anyway, but for some reason today I have had horrible 4g speeds. I can't even listen to Google Music right now because it just keeps stopping to buffer.
It's probably just the 4G in your area man. Some people get great speeds while others get complete garbage. Hopefully in time they will improve their standard of 4G service for all.

My 4G has been excellent in the past. I've gotten as high as 28M down and 14M up. But I haven't ran any speed test since before the OTA update till today. Today I only got 0.17M down. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it does in the next few days.

Also, before the OTA my wifi at home would do 15M down, which is what my cable speed is. Now it won't do over 5M down, while my laptop does the full 15M. I think the new radio update is cutting the speed.

I'm under the impression that when you get throttled, it's only if the tower you are on is under heavy load. Also, I'm sure they are not going to throttle you until you get into the top percentage of data users, and your on an unlimited plan. Att throttles there heavy users all the time, Verizon only when you are on a tower running close to capacity. This is all just what my understanding is, not an actual fact.
possibly throttling for me as well, I was at 20gigs
I dropped LTE briefly today in Michigan.
Still getting 30mbs down and at 17gbs used so far on unlimited. Netflix and Rom downloads to get me through the school day
there is no throttle if you are on a tiered data plan. however if you are on an unlimited, while it has not been done yet... VZW does have the right to slow you or whomever to a slower share of speed if the tower/network path is overcrowded. However, we are no where near capacity anywhere. capacity isn't the issue, it is just the coverage isnt as strong yet since the primary goal is full coverage of 3g footprint, then making signal stronger, overlapping etc...
I'm on unlimited and I am currently at 11gb data used with couple days left and just tested speed and have 15.5 up 11.6 down. I think it depends how much is being pulled from the tower at any given time.

For the first time I'm in a city with 4g. Excitedly I check my phone... Full bars yea! So I open a web page and I see it isn't much faster the 3g so I do a speed test and prove my hypothesis. After 3 test I don't see a huge difference is that a tower thing or what I don't care I use WiFi at home and don't really need that much speed when I am away from my house or school I just expected more.

Try downloading a Rom on 3g vs 4g. At roughly 500mb 3g would take hours. With my lower then average 4g area at my house it still only takes a few minutes. If I go to certain areas around town its even faster.
My 4G is faster than the wifi in my house about 8/10 times with the average around 15-20mbps with the highest I've gotten is around 40.
I'm able to download a 500mb file in about 5 minutes or less.
My 4g smokes my Comcast line, and I have the faster residential since I have Directv. I get low end 8-10 and I have found over 40 a couple times around Metro Detroit.

I also agree that it depends on the city. I'm in Houston and see a dramatic difference between my 3g and 4g. I could never go back to just 3g now and for the rare occurance I'm not in a 4g area, I usually won't even mess with my phone.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
my 4g varies from .85 to 30 mbps down. Just hit or miss. Depends on the time of day I guess.
It all depends on location. It could be the towers, the signal strength, or how many people are using 4G in that location. When I'm at work I usually only pull 8-10 Mbps, but in other areas I've gotten around 20 Mbps. Not quite as fast as my home internet, but very close. I wish I were fortunate to live some place where I could pull 40+ Mbps speeds like I see some people do, but alas, it wasn't meant to be...

Where I live I only get 3G.
When I work in Houston my 4G averages about 22Mb/s, but when I have to work in Texas City (an hour down the road from Houston) and the 4G tower there gives me about 16Mb/s. Both of which blow my 3G speeds away.
I guess different towers just work better.
I spent some time in Northwest Houston recently and my 3G connection acted awfully strange. If I opened settings, it would frequently say "disconnected" under mobile network and would not sync gmail, open web, etc. It would frequently try to connect and stay on for a short bit (very slow connection) but go away again quickly.
I updated profile, prl, rebooted multiple times, but finally just gave up while I was there. Most of the time this was happening, I had 4 or 5 bars of signal and could make phone calls without any issues whatsoever.
Is this a Sprint Network NW Houston issue or is this an EVO LTE issue?
I did switch the network to CDMA only hoping this would help and it made no difference.
from what ive been reading this is common for locations that are doing work on getting the LTE upgraded on that tower. Phone is not the issue. I have seen similar stuff around here in Boston. Could be a good sign i am thinking.

There was a 3G outage yesterday afternoon that caused all of Houston 3G to fail. It was fixed around 1400.
That's standard Houston as of late. It varies. The past few days have been better, but last week was awful. Couldn't hold a 3g connection at all. Probably related to the tower upgrades.

Is it common that when the roll out vision data speeds go to crap before they get better? It's funny as it only seems to be in this 2 mile range around my work. By my house, I'm getting 3G speeds above 1400kbps (which I've never got before). I've told Sprint that, told them that I've updated my profile, basically told them everything and that I just want them to tell an engineer despite what their system shows, that their is slow data in this address range... Still nothing.
Guess I'll just get my contract terminated for roaming...

I've told Sprint that, told them that I've updated my profile, basically told them everything and that I just want them to tell an engineer despite what their system shows, that their is slow data in this address range... Still nothing.
Guess I'll just get my contract terminated for roaming...

I have read that speeds can be affected during the switch over. In my personal experience, it also depends on geographic location. I live in Lake Worth FL, I get 2mb down and almost 900kb up from my house on 3g. Now, I work in North Miami Beach, I'm lucky if I get 100kb down and 3 kb up down here, even on 5 bars. This is even before the LTE rollout. Just because you have a good signal, doesn't mean your data will be fast. I think some areas may be over subscribed, they just don't have the bandwidth available for all their devices in some areas. Hopefully this will get better as they rollout LTE in my area.
If they are upgrading to vision it would be more likely that your speeds would fluctuate rather then stay at a constant low. They may be repairing towers in that area and pushing the load onto remaining towers. That essentially cripples available bandwidth. Had to put up with a similar issue for almost 3 straight months. They should tell you if there are any repairs or improvements being done. Have you tried having your call escalated?

+1 on this. That was going to be my recommendation as well.
CR will probably credit you which looks like you are entitled with the crappy service. And yes, data gets worse during NV upgrades, especially when they are working on the backhaul to the towers. It gets worse before it gets better then you will know its almost time to light up LTE. in short, nothing much more you can do other than leave Sprint but I'm thinking it will be regretted in the end.

When you say respond what exactly are you wanting them to do?

Uh, fix it. No one should have data this slow consistently. Every single second. I understand periods of slowness, but this is absurd.
And, it looks like they fixed it last night... Back to normal 400-600kbps.
I've had data that slow at home for close to 15 months, all I got was an Airave (sounds like a motto on a t-shirt).

lol there are places that have had data that slow for 2+ years now with no fixes from sprint.
Get an Airave!, I just moved to a remote area of Hawaii, no data and 1bar at best. Two days after calling for an airave I recieved it. Now 5bars and full 3g. Best part is its free!
