You would definitely see a huge difference if it was on LTE. That's Verizon's 3g speeds.

I've seen verizons 4g speeds go past 50mb down. Maybe your just not in that good of an area. Just cause bars are full doesn't mean internet faster. I get fast 3g in some places with low signal

Yeah there are 3G to 4G hand offs which your mom probably had when she was no longer in a 4G area.
First rule of LTE in general is that it doesn't compare with anything out right now except maybe T-mobile's 42mbps hspa+.

Don't be bunch of d**ks, what the guy is trying to say from what I'm understanding is how Verizon lie to its customers , even tho when they are not in a 4g area , it shows they use 4g!

Incorrect. The picture clearly shows 3G and 3G speeds and you will see a few posts down from the OP somebody actually connected to 4G LTE and actual 4G LTE speeds.

You really should think about what you say before you look like an ass. Right now it looks like you have a case of foot in mouth disease.
As the poster above me pointed out he is clearly only getting 3G.
@poster just because you have 4G turned on does not mean you are getting 4G your phone needs to pick up the 4G signal to go into 4G mode.
This has to be the most entertaining thread of the day.
Wow. This is horribly embarrassing. What are you doing with your life OP?

Could it be that he was really on Verizon's LTE in a really poor Verizon LTE coverage area...and right before he took the screen shot his phone dropped to 3G because of the bad LTE signal ?
Possible? Very Unlikely ?
Calm down guys, no need for any name calling or feeding of any trolls if there are any in here...

Oh...there is.
Why should we get a sprint lte phone (next cycle) , when they are two years out from being turned on. Yes I know they are testing in some town with 10 residents (which none of them are probably sprint customers). I'm still waiting for 4G.

Personally I'm just buying a phone because I like it. I've had both evo 4g EVO 3d and both epics and am.still without 4g. I have got this far without its just a bonus to me if I ever do recieve lte. It's still the same price and my WiFi at home is better than 4g anyway. If you have stuck around this long no reason to jump ship now your halfway through the changeover

Lol I may end up getting it when I am outta contract. Kinda wanna see what people think of it.. I don't care for the LTE or 4G just the specs are pretty nice no 3D which makes me happy just want my 8MP back so I can play with CM and other sense less builds.
The only reason I will eventually move to LTE (I'm already currently in a WiMAX area) is for the improved speeds and the lower frequencies. Lower frequency radio waves will better penetrate thick walls (like concrete) and will reduce how much battery it uses. Therefore, LTE is overall more stable than WiMAX technology.

The big issue I see is a big price jump once lte is turned on. There is some serious traffic control that lte has that wimax doesn't. When they can truly see what being used and the rate of consumption, bye bye unlimited.

though I do think there will be a day when unlimited will be no more, i don't think it will be anytime soon, for 2 reason, 1 the premium data fee ($10) we all pay according to dan hasse is the reason we don't have tier data plans already, so if they switched they can't charge that anymore and 2 sprint uses it too much to advertise with, and is a reason so many of the customers are staying... if they lose that they will lose A LOT of customers...
i never use 4g and i can get it almost all most all the time.. i use 3g cause its fast enough for me.. when i have used 4g in the past it just drains my battery to quick.. its crazy cause some people would love to get 4g and i have it and could care less.. lol i wish i could give it away!!!! to someone that would use it.. u kno..

I only get to use it if I go to Atlanta or I go up north to Michigan
I am in no hurry to upgrade. I live in a small city about an hour north of Atlanta. My little city of 30k has WiMax and is set to get LTE the first round, but I get 4G inside my apartment and downtown. While I don't get LTE speeds, I do get around 7-8mb. And I'm okay with that till the next round of LTE phones come out. WiMax isn't going anywhere anytime soon for those of us that have it.

I'm sorry that's the case. As a frequent traveler I am in almost always in Wimax coverage and have been very satisfied for the most part. However, thinking I'm hot s*?t pulling down 10mgbs on my couch always gets me into trouble as my buddy ( who is smartphone illiterate) pulls down 30 on his razr max. Yea at those speeds its basically just a pi$$ingcontest, but with almost 24 months on the competition you have to feel dissapointed in the way Wimax was.handled.

Evo 4G LTE users finally get Sprint 4G LTE on July 15th!
I can't quite post links yet since I'm new but a quick Google search would pull up the Sprint community thread describing this date.
I don't know about you guys, but the speeds that LTE offers exceeds the speed I get at home on my ISP.. plus on my side of the house even Sprint's 3g beats my home wireless . I'm excited to see how the network holds up and how battery life is influenced.. The discussion that the antenna is on the processor similar to 3g and that battery life will be similar is making me antsy to find out.. Maybe it'll be even better since over here in Dallas LTE towers seem to be everywhere.. What do you guys think about this?

I'm optimistic but trying to not get too excited. I have no idea what the coverage will be like here in San Antonio. If I can pick up an LTE signal while at work I would be ecstatic but time will tell.
WHAT? ...im getting LTE in a week OMFG ..thanks so much...
Sorry man but this isn't new news. Here in the General section there's a buncha threads on this. The 15th is the first round to about 5 cities I believe. And that's it. Other markets follow over the next 2 years. Considering your new here, these guys should take it easy on ya. RIGHT FELLAS?

speeds will depend on a bunch of different things. CPU modem, traffic, etc... highly unlikely that you will see real time speeds of the ones claimed. wait until the network is bogged down.

I haven't seen LTE or 4G on my phone once. This is really odd because I live blocks from the KC sprint campus. I have even driven into their parking lot and sitting there got only 3G still.
I know this has to be on my end because there's no way that in their own campus in their main center they don't have a tower running it since this was the first location to receive LTE. Is this something that could be dependent on the ROM i'm using. I'm running viper 1.21 which others have said they get LTE with so I don't think it's that.
Do I need to possibly flash a new radio? Is there something else going on?
Yeah, ur not in an LTE area. Either that or Idk find someone with an EVO and see if they get LTE in the same spot.

I haven't tried toggling to CDMA and then back to LTE, I'll give that a go.
I know for sure I'm in an LTE area because KC is the first and I live directly next to their huge campus here. I have a few friends who work for them, actually everyone in this town has worked for them at one point or another, lol. And they said we do have it in this area now.

i gave it a go and no LTE yet, so I think erichj must be right and the rollout is not complete.
Strange that they wouldn't start with their own campus. But I guess I was just spoiled by t-mobiles insanely fast network speeds before switch to sprint. Kinda a bad decision on my part but I thought I wanted an Iphone, until I had it a couple days and took back that turd to get another android phone. By that point I was stuck in to a sprint contract with dial-up speed.

Iive up north of the river by the airport and I only saw the 4g icon once while eating a chicken fried steak at corner cafe in Riverside. I only had it long enough to download speedtest.net app and it reported 8M download and 8M upload. Pretty good but then it switched to 3g again

Im in Dallas as well and have only connected to 4G once or twice. Even then it was low signal and didnt last long.
Yes 4G LTE is on. The problem is the coverage is spotty at best. Sprint decided to launch the market with less then half the towers in our area upgraded.
Check this out.. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/
I'm in KC and its the same story here.
Their coverage maps shows the whole city blanketed in coverage. But that's more like a completed picture.
They should just stop giving out dates if they aren't going to at least somewhat live up to it. The few times I picked up 4g, was only outside and my speeds never exceeded 1.5m.
By going "live" on the 15th, just meant they wouldnt be blocking your connection anymore. Its still a good luck finding it situation though.
