Slight difference from my pre lte "4g" phone. My signal was swapping from back and forth between 3g and H on this speed test.

I would have been more than happy with those numbers a few weeks ago.
Another thing I noticed, I use to only get 1 bar at my house, now I commonly get four.
But I have to admit battery life has taken a hit...

I think this was my best speed test, I'm eligible for an upgrade, possibly going to go one x, but strongly considering the evo 4g lte since sprint lte is suppose to be available in my area. Metro Atlanta

Sprint's LTE in Atlanta is horrible compared to ATT's LTE in Atlanta. ATT works in pretty much all of the surrounding areas, Sprints is only in the heart of Atlanta. I'm sure Sprint is working on it, juST letting u know, my girlfriend hates that she can't fully use her S3

Telus LTE has been expanding quickly here in Canada. My town just got it last week but I'm only getting 1 bar. Sticking with full HSPA signal strength for now.

Lol. My cousin's Boyfriend, who owns 3 Verizon stores said that Sprint throttles your data and Verizon doesn't. I stood there quietly because there was no sense explaining it.

I would've told him to put that up in his store and make it known to all the customers to come in and see how quick Sprint comes in there and says "Uh, why do you have a seat over there. Let's chat, shall we?"

You should have told him that Sprint doesn't throttle data. Their speeds are already too slow.

Sprint's speeds near me are far greater than Verizon's. That may be completely due to Verizon's popularity, but I'm 100% happy with Sprint. Their 3G signal alone grants me just over 2,000 kbps DL.
I live in Philadelphia where the speeds are supposed to be great and they are terrible. I get like 200 to 300 kbps on average. The highest my 4g got was 4mbps. To tell you the truth if sprint fixed there network and started to throttle because of it I would be happier and I would actually be able to use data on my 3D.

So I am on the nj side of the Hudson river. I can walk a long block and reach the water. Anyways what is a fail is I get no service but i get good 4g lol I would think both services should go hand in hand if one works.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
It does seem like it should go hand and hand but you have different components in your phone. 4g radio being one of them, it has nothing to do with the actual phone service.
My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! Screw Tupac. "A,O,S,P BACK!" >_<
It's different towers, your 4G is coming from a Clear WiMax tower, your Sprint Voice & 3G is coming from a Sprint Cell tower.

Don't see why not. Your 4g radio is a completely seperate radio, kinda like wifi.
also wimax is a higher band, meaning it will travel further distances than your 3g, but have less building penetration.
Still sucks... I would think that sprint would have upgraded or add the 4g towers aside the service ones Idk. I just hope it gets better

Sprint is upgrading their towers to be all-in-one (they call it "Network Vision"). I work in a Sprint store here in NYC and we have a Network Vision tower on our roof right now. According to my manager, we also have an [inactive] LTE tower as well.

4G Wimax was rolled out by Clearwire, an amateur wireless wholesaler. This current 4G LTE rollout is by Sprint. If Sprint fails to build out LTE by the end of 2013 as projected, then the company probably has doomsday issues.

The FCC shut down Light Squared alternatives, due to GPS interference. So, Light Squared will soon be Lights Out.
Sprint will have their own LTE network, and if Clear does actually put out a LTE network, they will use that, too. Sprint mentioned possibly using two different LTE technologies.

Ok so basically if I understand correctly, the LTE towers that are being put up in Texas are by Sprint themselves. Sprint was planning to use LightSquared to expand their network but that is not going to to happen due to recent regulations. So basically now Sprint has to expand their LTE network by themselves.

Just an update on LTE in Atlanta. I am still not getting LTE in Buckhead/Midtown area of Atlanta. I will hopefully get to check out the LTE tomorrow as I will be in the Smyrna area.
Even though there are only certain towers on right now for LTE in the Atlanta area, if many of you check your Network settings, you guys should be on CDMA-eHRPD instead of EVDOrA. I have been on it since I got the phone. Everywhere I've traveled from Duluth to Kennessaw to Snellville.

Switch your network mode to CDMA only and you'll be on EVDO Rev A.

Definitely feeling the drag....
I live in Atlanta and Its been having a lot of ups and downs for a while here. but now i've got the new EVO 4g LTE and I am just assuming its because the 3g is getting raped all over the place because they havent launched the LTE network and so everyone(including myself) has to use the hell out of it until they get the new network up and running. I've heard it should be "really really really really really soon." quoting the sprint rep the other day

I will get those speeds either late at night or early in the morning. Any time during the day when people are actually using data and im around 300kb. Do another test and see what you get.

Sent from my EVO using xda premium
We just had updates in central Wisconsin a month or two ago and my data went from about 200k to about 2.2Mbps overnight. My evo lte connects perfectly to the new tower hardware, but is slow (100-150) on the older towers. Oddly, we also now have wimax in the woods near the upgraded tower, but it doesn't show on sprints map.
According to the local techs I know, the hardware throughout northern Wisconsin is about 50% complete and late should be set to go in all current 3g areas of the state by December...but that implied sprint just flips the switch the moment they can.
Either way, my findings are evo with new tower, great...with old tower slightly worse than my nexus.
