4G LTE is LIVE in Dallas - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Was driving home from Dinner off 121 near Main street and noticed that 4G was on and very strong. Did a quick speedtest and got 22.7 mb down and 9.5 mb up

Awesome! I hear San Diego will be in the second wave.

Dallas has it.... I wonder if Houston is live? I would check but I am still waiting on my darn phone.

In the 121 and josey/main area right now (The Colony TX) and I am averaging 10-12 Mbps. That's faster than any Wimax speed I ever got in the same area.

I'm rally close to Houston. I posted this on the weekend.
Snapped these at my Sprint store.
I think these are the first pix available showing this? Pretty fast too. I was jealous of my sisters 21-42Mbps down, 11 Mbps up.
But even at 17 down 10 up (sure they are going to optimize it) unlimited rules!! think it's time for me to use my upgrade. anyways check these out

Austin isn't one of the first-wave cities. Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston are three of the first-wave cities supposed to be live 1H of 2012 ( 1 month left) in Texas.
We will see if the 4g connection stays, they had a small test area in Houston that was up for a week or less, now no 4g. I'm waiting for them to light the whole thing up. I was able to get 35down 11up when i ran a speed test.

Im waiting for San Antonio to go live. The stupid Evo 4g LTE has some issues with 3g going in and out randomly. Sometimes i can clock ~1100 kbps and other times a mere ~30kbps down. Its quite ridiculous although i believe its because they are working on the towers (wild guess) primarily because we used a EVO 3D and an EVO 4G to test it out on 3 different areas of the city. Anyone else from SA having issues?

When Irving TX gets it that'll be awesome. Dallas is just 20 minutes away, shouldn't be too long

It will be faster than Wimax, but Sprint LTE is still on a less optimal frequency compared to Verizon and AT&T. Once the IDEN network is dismantled and LTE is launched on that 800 MHz frequency it will be as fast as the other networks. However, that will require phones that support it.

Im in Houston as well next to Katy.
I'm waiting to see how the 4G will be at my house before I get the EVO.
I'm out of contract from my N1 so I'm ready for a new phone!

Sprint Customers, what are your 4g speeds?

So I will be changing from my Vibrant to the Evo 3d. I'm kinda concerned about some of the reports about sprints 4g wimax download speeds. Some of them say they get an average of 1.5mb/s.
My Galaxy S gets 5 mb/s in a good spot, and about 1 to 1.5 mb/s at home. I live just north of Atlanta so I should be getting 4g at my house.

I get anywhere from 2.5 to 7 in Denver, CO.
Tapa tapa tapa
2-5 (Philadelphia)
here in new orleans we dont have 4G, But we have a great 3g network. I get a consistent 1050-1120 kbps no matter what time of the day I or where I test. I guess the benefits of having 3 highways run straight through the city and as you may know we had a little hurricane come by and wipe everything out. It took a year to get back 3G here. You would think that they would have just put up the wimax system then ( late 2007), but maybe it was not in phase yet. Durring the hurricane the only system that stayed up and running was sprint. Everyone else was out of order and it left thousands without a way to communicate.
Anyway my pops lives in a suburb of Chicago and when I was there I got 4G speeds of 3mbps at his house, and 2.2 - 6mbps in the city depending on if I was outside or inside.

Usually I'll get between 3 to 8 in Orlando and on the east coast, not sure about Tampa but I'm guessing its the same since one of Sprint's network hubs is in Orlando.

Wow...crazy ranges there that I'm calling BS on without proof.
I'm in Chicago and have seen 5mb/s on my EVO once or twice...usually it's right around 2mb/s (very, very sad, since I could do more than that on 3G back in Iowa).
On my Overdrive, on a good day, it'll get up to 6mb/s but if I stay there too long they'll kill my connection (yes, no throttling, just straight up kill the connection).
I have also used 4G in Dallas, Seattle, Kansas City, and I believe somewhere else (Tulsa??) and they're all about the same speed. If anything, i would say Dallas was the fastest (maybe up to 6-7mb/s on my Overdrive).
All I know is the 4G on the EVO is horrible. I played with a Thunderbolt (Verizon, obviously) and it was doing 10+mb/s constantly on Internet Speed Test. If it weren't so expensive to have two data lines with them, I would've made the switch a couple months ago when my contract was up....
6-8meg down 1 meg up with 2 bars of 4g here

Sadly, there is no 4g coverage at all in the state of Indiana. Unless there is a little at the airport in Indy, but I doubt it.

Speeds seemed to skyrocket since 4S release..

Well yesterday I was testing my 3g speed and kept getting around 300 kbps now today I peaked at 2000 kbps and a steady 1k-1.7k speeds..
Anyone else notice an.increase?
mine went down.
used to get 56k lol this morning 9-22k everywhere ive checked.

I'm getting better 3G for the last few days. From 800k average to 1200k average. And I'm getting 4G in more places than before for the last 3 weeks or so.
That's pretty damn impressive.
Still crap here...

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
I am getting 1337ms ping 125kbps dl and 152kbps ul. Salt Lake City.
Download speeds increased from 300kbps (last week) to 1 mpbs this morning, located in East L.A.
230 ms ping, 215 kbps down and 680 kbps up.
Pathetic.
Yeah they shot up like crazy here.
About an hour north of LA
boom!! from my shooter
Mine were extremely slow today... facebook wouldn't even load, it was even roaming where it never does before (no idea why).
Iphone coming to Sprint was definitely the right move, I just hope they get their 3g network together soon.
I'm seeing the opposite.. kinda. My 3D used to see 10-100 kbps. Now its seeing 500 kbps, but my 4S is literally in the 10-100 kbps range in the same spot, same with my friend's Sprint 4S as well. The speed test doesn't even move sometimes.

Really depends where you live or work. At work, Sprint is 800 kbps while 55 would be a dream for AT&T, since usually it was 20 or so.
Check your Tower Ugrade situation. Hopefully something is coming soon for you.

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.
Edit: yes sad panda great service for constant outages lol what they have had one every month for the last what 3-5 months or more LOL

Sniff of LTE in Jacksonville, FL

I'm not sure if anyone here lives in the Jacksonville, FL area or not.
I live in Orange Park and have been getting horrible service over the past week or so. Yesterday evening though, my signal went to 5 bars and the LTE icon came on.
I couldn't believe it. I thought there was something wrong with the Objection ICS ROM I had just flashed, so I ran my trusty Speed Test app and, sure enough, 20 Mbps down!
I almost swallowed my shoe laces! LOL
Today, however, no LTE and back to 1 bar at the most. Hopefully this wasn't a dream.
Anybody else see this or was it all a very lifeline dream?
hi I live in atlantic beach florida, I was getting lte last night also. I only did 1 speed test but I got 14 down and close to 2 up. My hspa here is not very good either. I heard from an at&t representative that they are waiting for the baby hawks to leave their nests in the towers in the Jacksonville area before they will be able to get lte in full swing

Yes I am in Orange Park myself and noticed the LTE icon.. assumed it was a glitch though

Yup. I don't get 4g here but couple cities I shop in get it. Hence the 7k. In town it sometimes gets so bad that speedtest won't even complete. A LOT of the time I can browse faster on 1x roaming on vzw versus 3g sprint.

lucky man. i guess were overly congested where i'm at since im on a college campus. It used to be great, then the evo 4g came out and tanked the speeds.
Was on roaming for one month due to a tower upgrade close to my home. Here it is finally up, probably the best data speeds I have ever gotten on 3G
