I am hoping to see 4G LTE turned on in my launch-city the first week of July! When do you think it will enable?
Hopefully soon for Washington DC!I'm getting 4G withdraws! I used to get 10 mbps download on Wimax now I'm getting 1 mbps if I'm lucky...

LTE launches July 15.
Yep, so my prediction on the 26th was about right! (Except the "first week of July" part) :victory:
like everyone else, im moving to texas.
any news on miami getting this 4g???
so from what i understand on the leaked LTE maps, the "KC deployment area" includes Wichita, and is more of a Kansas area. is this true?
Anybody know if its coming to the bay area soon?

Meant to quote not thank...but you're paying for "premium data". Everyone that has a smartphone is paying the extra $10. 4g isn't a factor anymore. Sprint realized that a long time ago

I can understand your pain, but everyone knew it would be a while before lte was turned on so everyone could have waited to make a purchase later

I remember working in Philly when the EVO 4G launched on the WiMAX network and when signal was stable it was impressive (compared to 3G anyway). I cannot wait.
I picked up a 4G signal briefly in Huntley,IL. (not too far from Huntley) I was driving and streaming pandora.
I did not get to do a speed test, but I did do a screen shot. Signal was gone as fast as it came on.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/piau3krj2waid43/2012-06-19%2011.19.26.png
I was in huntley (just north of 90 on 47) last saturday, and no lte. This must be very recent.
I hope we start getting it within the next month or so. I'm pretty tired of these terrible 3G speeds.
I'm from Rockford illinois and we officially have no lte yet but i was told we will soon . Not holding my breath on that one:/.

Yeah exactly.. my guess is they were still just testing it
No LTE from West Chicago to Lombard
My EVO is getting lonely without his friend LTE!
If we look at sprint track record these could actually be the speeds. There slow in about every network 3g or 4g wimax when compared to the others. The 3g I's slower than some pre paid tracphones i done seen surf the internet my goddness. I had to tuck my evo in my pocket when someone asked me to look up something it took a while so i just said my battery died and everyone said i thought you're phone last all day .My friend trac phone looked it up in seconds and he's on edge network ugh.

Be patient, they were probably testing. It isn't live yet and won't be for a while. Especially in and around the city, since they're moving outside-in. Check the link I posted. If Sprint waits for 50% site conversion, then expected launch would be September. Which would mean we probably won't see anything until August at the earliest. This could be sooner if they decide to start rolling out before 50%
Can this be true this guy @insidesprintnow posted this on his twiter and lately my sprint reception has been horrible can this be why ?

They've been saying July/August for the roll out for NYC but alas still no LTE.
Also been hearing Long Island should be blanketed with LTE. I really hope it's not like how it was with WIMAX and only have coverage in NYC/Queens and us Long Islanders get screwed.
I only had 4G when I was at work in the city which is garbage.
Anyone have any legit info?
Thanks
NYC should be getting it soon, the delay is probably QC. Long Island, NY is on a different schedule though. Hopefully you work in Manhattan lol or its going to be a sad trip home. Unless you have decent WiFi.

If I have to wait for LTE till Sept. 2013 all I have to say is bye bye Sprint and hello ATT. This is bullcrap. I dealt with this with the OG EVO and now with this.
I can officially say I will terminate my contract prematurely.
What the hell are we paying an extra $10 a month for?

Dude relax, that's when it's Finished 100%. You'll see it on & up long before then. It's not like you're out in Montauk.
You won't see any LTE in long island till 2013 summer. It will be spotty coverage till 2014
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I am relaxed just fed up. Don't get me wrong Sprints customer service is the bomb I've had no issues in that department. But when we were promised 4G with the OG EVO we didn't receive it. We were paying $10 extra per month and it only made its way to NYC and queens. Now they are it and promise us LTE and we purchases out phones in May/June and for some of us we won't see it till Summer/Fall of 2013. I think that's kind of bull crap.

I feel the op's pain here on long island. Never having gotten any Wimax in a market as large as ours and being so close in proximity to nyc always poised me off too. Now with lte having to wait again sucks but what can you do? Wait it out or move on to another carrier. I'll wait it out. I'm happy with sprints service and pricing overall and when I'm home my Fios kicks ass for all my internet needs.

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.
Just like my ISP telling me I'm having slow speeds because of a "regional Internet problem" with THE internet. Yeah right. -_-

Yup. Though with the WIMAX rollout certain sections of Jersey got it first. Go figure. To the gentleman from Boston. This is a NYC thread we really don't care about Boston (unless the Red Sox lose a game).

DFW
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.

does any one know when LTE in PALATINE will come 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

Who did you hear that from? Sprint reps will tell you anything to leave happy.
Given that they haven't even officially announced there will be LTE for chicago, its probably not gonna be a few days from now
i cant wait till next year for LTE. darn sprint 3G Sucks! ive been waiting for this to long. those tower better go live this year. or else ill have to beat someone up hahah
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.

I'm guessing this is a joke. Ask the folks in Beaumont, TX that have had eHRPD for several months now and their LTE build won't even start until next year. So I guess technically you are correct, LTE is coming everywhere. The question is just when..
Nope, they will only offer in that town and only to 7 of the 10 people there. Lol of course they will build it out! :banghead:

Don't get too exited. Sprints LTE is a joke. I live in Dallas where they first rolled out LTE and I got the HTC Evo 4G LTE on day one. Ever since they turned on LTE here in June I think I've had a LTE signal for a total of 20min. I talked to a sprint rep recently and was told that Sprint won't truly be finished with the Dallas LTE until sometime in 2013. Each city they do a roll out just means they started in that city(1 LTE tower)
