So I wake up. And in this ONe location which service is always hit and miss. It keeps swithing between lte and normal hspa. When its got the lte under it. When I try to use data it takes a sec and drops back down. Imnot in a big city nor am I in a upcoming market. My town just got 3G a few months ago. I'm about and hour and few from and lte market.

Since you said it is in a marginal reception area, maybe it is roaming to another carrier - one that may be testing LTE in your area?
Like Verizon? I know were GSM but I'm not up to date on lte networks

I live in Jersey City, NJ, which is suppose to have LTE coverage. But I just get LTE when outside...and in the house 4g is as good as 3g (on my captivate)....
Interesting thread. That number thin sounds freaky. I would too assume its some sort if strange roaming. Possibly a military base nearby?

I had the exact same thing last night, but the numbers were different. Here we have a local-ish company that does wireless internet and I had a feeling I was picking up some sort of signal from them.

Is there anyone who lives in upstate NY that can share how there data speeds are? I bought a One X on AT&T and am seriously thinking of switching to Sprint. We can't even root our phones let alone unlock the bootloader. I'm just worried about Sprint's data speeds. All the tech sites trash it. Thanks.
Depends where you live. Were I live Sprint is the fastest of the big carrier's. I average 2.2mbps. Att here is just awful with limited signal.
Also isn't ny on the first round of updates so that would mean they should have good speends by the end of the year.

Just to be clear. The first rounds are for New York "CITY" and not New York state AKA up state New York.
It's been a while since I've lived in upstate new york. Why not go to one of the sprint stores or best buys and ask to run speedtest on their phones.
I could see them using airaves in the stores. I have no idea if they do or not but i wouldn't be surprised.

This! They do! Sprint is slow, very very slow. Here in Colorado it is abysmal.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Pretty hit or miss, it can be pretty decent or downright horrible. At work I get around 1.3mbps or near 2, but at home and a lot of other places it's painfully slow. I just ran the speedtest app and I averaged ~120kbps down, 200kbps up and 250 ping...
I think it's safe to say that you will get MUCH worse data speeds than what you're currently getting. Your signal strength should be on par though, and you won't have as many drop calls.
Besides what the fanboys here tell you, it's pretty generally accepted that sprint's data speeds are absolutely horrendous. I've never been to NY so I can't say this with 100% accuracy but it is a pretty darn safe assumption.
I'm in Houston which is one of sprints biggest markets and even here just about everywhere I go the speeds are terrible. Not as bad as some people who get like .1kbs and .2 but they are still waaay below 1mps.
There have been small pockets where I get 1-2mbps but those are soo inconsistent that it's not even practical

Where do you live, Rochester? Speeds in Buffalo vary, that's the best I can tell you. My EVO 3D got significantly better speeds than my EVO LTE does. I'm just hoping that will change after an update or two. Rochester and Syracuse got WiMax pretty quickly though so I would imagine LTE isn't too far away.

No, he's not included. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and NYC are the major markets in NY.

sadly for me though, i only live 30 miles away from a major City (San Antonio) in Texas. i Live in Floresville or Wilson County, There is Already AT&T 4G service here, Sprint here is pretty good and we Just recently got a Verizon Wireless store here but have always had their service here since the dialup days. i have seen plenty of Verizon service Vans on my drive around town but we still have no 4G. but when im in S.A my speeds reach at Least.. well you can see in my Sig lol
and my HomeNetwork is the fastest net they have down here. at its peak it'll reach 1 megabyte/sec
OH and BTW, T-Mobile here SUUUUUX. at its peak it'll reach 0.04 Mbp's/sec.
lol Random thought here: i remember when we used to think 3G was the fastest and now With 4G LTE we're like HAAA 3G is Slowwww. but then i think the same thing is gonna happen again in the future when 5G is here lol
Don't get it at home, but I get it at college. It certainly is nice, but even at college I don't really use it because the campus is blanketed in 100mbps WiFi.
I read that our towers are supposed to go live the end of august well here we are anyone been picking up LTE yet?

I actually have an airave, and it works great. The problem is when I am in any building such as BestBuy or Wal-mart, and want to price match something. Or I am in a shoe store and want to find out if Amazon has it for cheaper. Just yesterday I was at Kohl's, and they told me that they had a coupon online. I of course could not get data on mine or my wife's phone, so I could not pull up the coupon. I cannot even begin to tell you how badly I want LTE. I just hope the indoor signal is better.

Sometimes companies tell you what you want to hear to silence you. Are they working on towers? Yes. Will it roll out in October for NYC? Probably not.

With the launch of LTE, DFW was on the list of having LTE. Phone never connected to LTE. After serveral phone calls, I was told the same thing, that the networks where being upgraded and scheduled to be completed in December. I see LTE every now and then now, but not long enough to get any use out of it. Speed Test showed it to be slower than 3G when I was able to connect. I got credit for 4 months (AUG -NOV) until LTE is fully up and running.

how do you know that it will be live in 2 weeks?
If Sprint gave you an exact date, and especially from a representative over the phone, they're definitely lying to you.
While I seriously doubt that's the date, I sure hope it is. I am sick of slower than dialup speeds on 3G and constant weak signal.
NYC and several other major cities have been announced to go live within the next several months, which means NYC can get it earlier than scheduled.....Finally able to use phone to the fullest
Has anyone in the NYC area gotten LTE signals yet? Wonder if they will test it before going live.

Largely depends on whether you're considered part of the "chicago" market which is supposed to be around september.
If you aren't part of that rollout.....Not anytime soon.
damn u have to be kidding me!! well i live like 20 mins from chicago. hope that the tower signal travel will travel far enought.
Well right now lte is about 10 miles or so west of palatine so it's just a matter of time. Now as far as Chicago getting lte I hate to say it but I don't think we might have lte this year . My office where I work has a sprint tower on it and a tech was out working on it and he was saying lte for Chicago might not happen this year with all the work they still have to do to the towers. I was also that Illinois already has 40% lte coverage so that's kind of good but could always be better
OP u say your from palatine well I am to so if u want to talk for some reason pm maybe we can get together sometime

If they're 40% done with Illinois, they could easily go live this month. Many of the first round LTE markets went live with much less than 40 percent complete. They won't be DONE with Chicago this year, but I'm sure they'll go live this year.
