Let's face it.. the place is getting pretty filled up with threads created by people who found LTE, even for just a few minutes. SO I figure it's best to try to shove all of this discussion into one thread. I'll even go one step further and update the OP with locations that people can access LTE at, as well as speed tests for those areas.
Update 9/24/12: I apologize, but I never saw this thread getting so big. Eventually I might try to go through and update everything, but I can't make any promises. I'm a college student with a pretty tight schedule and working on this might be a little overwhelming. Hopefully I'll be able to find time at some point though. Sorry again.
For speed tests: Please use the "Mbps" unit
Speed tests will be uploaded and added to imgur albums set up by me; there will be an album for each city that I receive speed tests for
If you are uploading a speed test for the sole reason of sharing it in this thread, please consider uploading it to imgur, as that would make it much easier for me to transfer the images into an album (uploading them to this forum requires me to download each one and upload them again to imgur)

College Park

That thread serves a completely different purpose.
Edit: To clarify on that, the thread you linked to is about where LTE is GOING to be. That thread isn't for reporting where you've already found it, and a skim through shows that people aren't reporting that information there anyway. This is for people that find LTE to report it so that we can see what places have it already going, even unofficially.
I guess Ill start this off. Had LTE all morning while doing a job out there by 290 & highway 6 here in Houston.
Got some lte today in San Antonio NE side at Jones maltsberger and 1000 oaks. I took some speed tests. I'm not terribly impressed because my buddies one x on att got up to about 30mbps but this is way faster than the wimax I was getting so I am more than satisfied with the results

Got some pretty good LTE speeds in Hammond, IN while I was visiting family on the 4th.
Same here, none in the ATL.
However, I spoke to a Sprint rep yesterday and he claimed LTE services will roll live for us on 7/14 so maybe just a few hours wait for us.
Here's to hoping the towers aren't urban-specific. I'm not so rural but WiMAX has never come out to my house.

If you guys want to post some speed tests as well I can add them in to the OP.
Edit: And it would be preferable if you were to use Mbps for the unit, as that is easiest to understand.
I'm in downtown Houston and I see the 4G go on and off on my phone. Have not been able to run a speed test.
This is in the Dallas area. As you can tell, way better than before!

If you see a location on the list that you are in, but unable to access LTE, please let me know so I can note so in the OP. I don't want to be giving people false hope here.
Ran a speed test its better than before but it may be that 4G is not working well inside this building downtown Houston.

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.

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.

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....

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'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?

nice, I'm in riverside and I've been seeing LTE icon on my phone since this morning.:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Hi, so ever since I've picked up this phone, I've had severe data issues and thought, holy hell, my og killed this phone just a day ago, what gives? Well from what I've noticed, I don't think It's HTC at all, I think It's sprint. And my reasoning for this is all day my data sucks, severely but at night about 11:30 pm magically kicks into overdrive, with three bars I get 2Mbps but during the day I can have full signal and I'm lucky to have 1Mbps... Can anyone else confirm this? And if so, what's really going on? I talked to sprint and they say towers are fine/shouldn't be any problems and I'll be lucky to ever see 4g LTE in my area before my contract is up so they aren't scewing with the towers or are they? Conformation from someone else or this beautiful phone goes back... Lol, thanks...

I live in decently un-populated area of Michigan though. Most people are on Verizon here because they rolled out 4G LTE here a few months back.
I find it strange, when I talk to sprint in my area, they say it must be my phone, cause there aren't any updates here what so ever but I know it's not the phone, it gets amazing speeds at off peak times... And the other thing that bugs me is the signal strength doesn't correspond whatsoever to the data speeds I'm getting... Hopefully something/someone gets this cleared up cause technically it doesn't really make sense...

I get very inconsistent speeds through out the day; And when I spoke to Sprint, they gave the "towers are being upgraded" spiel. They also gave me this website to check which towers are being upgraded, or have been upgraded:
https:// network. sprint. com
*Note, they also gave me a $30 dollar credit on my next bill, which is a nice gesture, but I'd rather have better service.
I'm in Houston, and my 3g was acting up and my GPS put me in Joliet, I called sprint and they reset my service, powered phone off, powered phone on and reset my profile. so far, so good.
Edit: I couldn't send this post....dropped connection. I went to settings and set roaming to automatic and instant connection.

Ah totally forgot about that website. Thanks for the reminder. Looks like I'm getting 1 voice, 1 data speed, and 1 data capacity upgrade in the next six months and all at the two corners of my community... all right outside Verizon's socal HQ no less
I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with Sprint. Apparently they are getting a lot of calls with people complaining about data speeds on the 4G LTE.
The Sprint rep tried a bunch of things, but even though I'm showing three bars of signal, I have no Internet. It does work sometimes, just not at my phone or office!
She suggested taking it back to a Sprint store and having them reactivate my OG Evo until this phone gets fixed, either with some kind of software fix, or a new hardware version. She says they are logging all these issues, so they can figure out how to fix it.
I have the same issues (Chicago). Called Sprint last night and told them I'm not paying all this money to have 1990 speeds. They patched me over to Level 2 support (I think that's what they called it) and the guy told me that I didn't have data all day, actually. He did some kind of upgrade and everything popped into place. He asked if he solved my problem and I told him "Yeah... for NOW." We'll see how long it lasts. They have an open ticket for me to take the phone back to the Sprint store by close of business tomorrow if I want to have them test it or trade it. I asked them what for - the problem existed on two phones, it's the NETWORK! I also told them to remove the upgrade charge, which is a very small token for poor service... they did. I'm placated but not happy and I'm trying to be patient.
It could very well be your phone. The first one I had was having extremely slow data speeds and occasionally even dropped data connection, Sprint sent me a replacement phone and it has way better speeds than my original Evo ever did.

I've been trying since Sunday and have only connected to LTE briefly twice. Once in the medical center and once by my house on the NW side of town, near West Rd. & Queenston. Both times were standing outside and I had to update profile in order to get the signal. I tried a speed test and was getting ~2.4 mbps down before losing the signal.
I'm not impressed. Hopefully it'll get better soon...
Nothing in Kingwood either. According to S4GRU http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/ Houston is only 14% complete. Pretty weak launch numbers. If you are a contributor to the site you can see where the live towers are.

yeah, being a sponsor at s4gru.com, it seems that the current coverage is VERY thin..should be much better in a couple of weeks when sprint accepts more towers from the vendor.
There is LTE in Houston, but it is very very spotty. I get it outside of my work building, but nowhere near my home in Montrose, nor in the Medical Center. I drove from Bellaire to Westheimer and Fountain View with not one 4G signal along the way. WTF?! Sprint is dropping the ball big time.

Nothing in Kingwood either. According to S4GRU http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/ Houston is only 14% complete. Pretty weak launch numbers. If you are a contributor to the site you can see where the live towers are.

I caught 4G at the end of kingwood drive near riverwood on 7/15. Measured about 8/3.
Edit: OP, seriously, just chill. They turned on *some* towers on 7/15, but they're nowhere near done. Estimated 100% completion for houston is february 2013. Don't get all pouty about a brand-new service that you haven't been able to use yet. Very, VERY few of us have stable LTE connections.
No 4g for me out here in the Wilcrest/Briar Forest area.
Here is what I got on I-10W about to get to downtown:

I got 4G from downtown to ~610 on I-10W. I noticed that I had to toggle airplane mode when it got stuck on 3G in order to get it back to 4G.
No LTE on the east side. I was able to get LTE for one minute yesterday July 15th around I-10 and Taylor. Here is the speedtest I took when I had LTE for one minute.

I live in sugar land and have yet to see my phone say 4g. It makes me wonder why they show such a large are covered on their coverage map. Shouldn't the map reflect current coverage and not sprint's hopes and dreams?

vendors... do remember there are three. From what I have "heard" there are also a number of towers ready to go, just waiting on one key element
I second that...give it a few weeks and even beyond that...it is going to continue to get better from here..

The maps still showed "coming soon" last I checked. The media had kind of run wild with the limited soft launch information Sprint provided...has left consumer expectations very high. I am sure Sprint wants it up and running just as quickly as the customers do.
Everyone concerned with lte should follow and actually read the developments of the network that s4gru.com posts and chill out.
Example as follows (credit to Robert most definitely for his tweets and the entire S4GRU site)

No, vendor. There are three vendors, but only one in the Houston market. The vendors dont seem to share markets.
I do get where u are coming from. And Robert has a point as well. But from what everyone is going through I really don't blame them for being a bit frustrated. This isn't even a decent launch. From what I hear no one is getting constant lte. If this was a month ago then it would be understandable but not for a hyped up nationwide launch.
