I live in Midtown right now bro off Jefferson & Bellevue. How's your sprint service out there lol?
The LTEVO says hello!
I have a Sprint tower about 500 yards from my house and I get incredible 3g speeds from it. Usually in the range of 2mb down and 1.5mb up. I must be the only one on Sprint. The bad part is as soon as I leave the area it drops to crap speeds again. Were you able to connect to wimax in your area. I know Sprint turned on a couple of wimax towers in midtown and was able to connect a couple of times when I was in the area with my Evo 3D. Can't wait to get LTE. My brother in law was visiting with his new Verizon Raxer LTE and we did a speed test at my house and he got 28mb down and 19mb up on average after several tests. I hope sprint deploys in Memphis ahead of schedule.

The probably reprovisioned your account, unthrottling you. With the network vision stuff, we should see drastic improvements in Q1 2012 hopefully.
**** im on sprints ass about getting me my $75 upgrades they owe me.. 3 lines are eligible for the upgrade.. I know that they took it off, and know about the no more 75 upgrade... But its ON CONTRACT that they owe me. They want to walk away from it but i got that upgrade way before they took the 75 off from upgrade, and to this day and time its still on my contract that i signed. They quick giving ppl ETF, but when people like me quick to jumping at something that i earned in time, they dont wanna give me... **** em. Ima win this battle they will be giving me 225 credit for the 3 lines that are indeed by proof on my ACCOUNT that they owe me 75x 3 for upgrades.. Dont let this happen to yall! Fight for your rights! You pay for time u get what u get. Thats why people do what they do w roaming and free tethering cause sprint pulls this ****.. I say to all that do it, go on w ur badselfs. Sprint gets what they get for doing stupid **** like this.
Im clearly in right when it clearly says it in stone that my contract is eligible for the upgrade
Sprint dont play w me! You will lose!!

Like hell they don't. After the Evo 4G came out and they offered their cheap unlimited, they had a huge influx of customers. After that, major network areas had problems with people even able to get data at all. How did they fix it? They let everyone have data, just at a slower speed. How else do you think reprovisioning works? Or deleting the Sprint proxies inside EPST?

Not true. Think of it like the QoS settings on a router. To maintain everybody having network access, they limit the speeds of everybody.

Ugh, are you kidding me? I didn't even know they did this so called reprovisioning. I've complained a lot before about their data, this is kind of the problem. Sprints equipment is way under par, that's why their data sucks. This network vision crap better be a big upgrade to both speed and capacity to their total network, or it won't mean jack in the long run.
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.
Here's a link to a post I made a couple weeks ago

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

My area just got 4G activated today, and I have to say it's quite nice 11mbps down and 7mbps up while I was driving to Starbucks this morning. :good:

In the future, at least pull over first before testing 4g speeds again.

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.

What's their excuse as to why WiMAX wasn't deployed as fast? My OG Evo never even saw the 4G signal. I'm betting that by the time my area sees 4G, the successor to the 4G LTE will be out. It sure would be nice of Sprint to send me all my $10 monthly payments back for never connecting to 4G on the OG Evo. One can dream though.

I hate saying this as it seems silly at this point but no matter what people presented it as (media consumers and other retailers) Sprint never listed the $10 fee as a 4g fee. The mistake they made was not charging all web enabled devices which they later corrected. Even with that fee the plans are still cheaper.
And if no one has told you...wimax is no longer in deployment and will be non existing in a few years
I never had wimax...most likely won't have late at my home. I pay for home internet service and use wifi
