I don't see 4G coverage for NY yet at:
http://shop.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/4G_coverage_popup.shtml
Have you run speedtests?

Still not getting any 4G in East Elmhurst/ Jackson Heights area

No 4G in Brooklyn

I was in Manhattan this eve and it was working when I posted this thread. I am in east elmhurst now and its not working I had 3 bars on queens boro bridge. I'll try again today when I goto Manhattan.
I think they had it on at night for testing purpose. YouTube was loading in a snap.

nothing at 38th and 5th in manhattan

Nothing at Exchange Place in Jersey City (same towers as downtown Manhattan).

Nothing here
No 4g on 12th and broadway.

Here is the proof. Today!

If you want to know when 4g will be in your area just check with Clear Wireless. Their high speed wireless is bought from sprint wimax according to the Sprint near me in Philadelphia.

How come no one else is picking it up just confirmed it works on queens blvd until bqe.

4G throughout LA?

Today my friend texted me telling me we had 4G service, I was at another friend's house a few blocks from mine and turned it on to find 4G signal. Very weak, and it didn't run particularly well, but it was there. Then I went to pick up another friend who lives at a greater elevation, and for a little while I picked up 2 bars and tried loading the eiffel tower site and it loaded insanely fast, much faster then when I'm on 3G. Now I'm back home, and unfortunately can't pick up 4G. I live in Burbank, CA. Wondering if it rolled out all throughout LA? Anyone else picking up anything in the area?

I don't live in LA, I live in OC, but I've been up to LA a couple times and I have turned on my 4G radio and have got 1-2 bars of 4G signal. I didn't test it out too extensively though.

There is limited WiMax services in downtown area. I had a mapped out Google Map somewhere.
Anyway it works good when you are elevated and in downtown. Speed is nice as noted by OP.
Let's hope they extend the coverage soon.

4g is working in parts of WLA and Downtown.
Check out Map Viewer in the market and you can filter the map by 4g (and by any other carrier). It will give you an idea of where you can turn on 4g if you need the higher speeds.

4G also works in Santa Monica

so ive gotten 4g on temple and grand, on the 5 south going through downtown la, and through hollywood, also i got it going on the 5 north near norwalk, but its really sensitive like ill have a couple bars then nothing it seems more "specific" than 3g which i think would more gradually go out

There is testing going on all over LA. I have gotten it in Cypress, Hollywood, LA, Anaheim etc.
But it cuts in and out very frequently. Towers are in place, but not deployed yet.

4G in South Bay

I live in Campbell and been getting at least 1 bar of 4G consistently. Not a good signal but at least I'm getting something. Getting full 4G coverage in Cupertino and Santa Clara. My friend's a store manager at Sprint and told me they're launching 4G officially in October. Hope this is a good news for some of you. Thought I should share.

There's no way they're launching in San Francisco by next month. There's no signal anywhere even for testing. Maybe the san jose market will launch next month but san francisco will definitely take a while to launch.
Because, I'm pretty sure, all 4G launches are preceded by at least some sort of test signals... Which we have nothing in SF.

Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully they will. It would be silly for Sprint if they don't launch it in frisco considering the huge market.

Yeah, I work a lot in Palo Alto, and the whole downtown has the Clear Innovation network live, and there is some decent speeds. The other day while going on 101 South near Capitol Expwy exit in San Jose, I got over 7mbps in my car, while driving. That was epic.

wow that's awesome! i live a mile away from that area, i'm going to have to test it out. where i work near 101 and lawrence i can get 3.8-4.5 depending on if i have 1 or 2 bars.

I have managed to get 8Mbps in downtown San Jose. Covers the area past the Pavillion and up to the airport. Downtown has the best speeds though.

Just last weekend i got ~9Mbps near Walmart, Mountain View. Haven't got any 4G signal in palo alto area.

i'm probably being too optimistic, but i hope there's a signal inside the arena! sharks season coming up soon, so i'll be in there before long.

4G in Central Illinois

...must be rolling out a bunch new cities if we have it...only 20,000 people...U of I is 50 miles away...we'll take it...so far 8.35 is my highest speed test...nice...

Fox Lake Area? they have had 4G for a while now (6mo+) .. its like they had 2 extra 4G towers and dropped them there cuz some exec lives in the area or something. makes no sense.

What definition of "Central Illinois" does Fox Lake fall into?
OP: Where about are you getting 4g? I'm in Kankakee County and seeing squat. I can drive up to Matteson to get 4g signal but that's about it. And on Sprints official map it just shows Chicago and St Louis (and surrounding areas).
EDIT: Checked clearwire.com and there are apparently solo towers in a lot of IL "towns." Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, Charleston... I'll be damned.

...Mattoon,I'll...E.I.U. is in Charleston which is 10 miles...but I'm getting great signal in a concrete house laying in bed, so they must of added to the tower couple Blocks away...amazing though...not sure how we got it this fast...not a complaint though,lol...

no 4g in normal..... not even good 3g the big red V will be rolling lte here by the end of the year to bad i dont like the TB

im in the Elgin area and the map says im able to get 4g at my home address and i have never been able to. I only start to get 4g if i drive east of Randal Rd

[Q] 4G Available In Your Area?

Because I've been noticing that 4G is popping up in different areas without any sort of notification, I was thinking that we could all post here of areas that have 4G but have not been announced to the public.
I've noticed 4G in Norfolk VA in the Ghent area, and near Portsmouth Naval Hospital for starters.

Check http://www.clear.com/coverage for where 4G (WiMAX) access is available. It's not always publicised when new sites are implemented, but they will show up on the map.

I checked that map, it looks pretty good, but I'm not really sure, it is showing areas that should be active 4g locations, but I'm getting nothing in those areas... So really I guess what I was trying to get out of this thread was a place that people can post known active 4g (well at lest known to the poster) locations to help others know if 4g is active near them. A map is nice, but we all know that those mappings can definitely be off.

Understood, the coverage is spotty.

Works pretty good here in Jacksonville,Fl. Pretty big city so it is spotty in some areas though :/

Theres coverage here in Green Bay Wisconsin where i live granted it is very spotty theres still hope!

There is coverage here in Gurnee Illinois but its very spotty. It's funny the clearwire and sprint coverage map shows 4G in/near my house, but I can't connect to it until I drive around 5-6 Blocks then it pops up but soon as you go further down the street its gone.

Ive gotten pretty good coverage here in burbank, ca for about a year. Also had decent coverage when i visited sacramento.

I'm supposed to have 4g at my house in Columbus Ohio according to the maps but I take my Evo outside and guess what no 4g even standing in the middle of my street.

yeah just check clear.com maps. They seem to be updated weekly. The plan is for a bunch of single towers in towns to show the FCC they are using their licenses.
The maps are geared towards the clear devices that have better antennas than the ones crammed into our handsets.

I've had excellent 4g coverage here in Vegas/Henderson for as long as I've had my Evo. I love it

I will be visiting the Lakewood NJ area keenly this weekend, does anyone know if 4g is up in that area?
Swyped from my CM-CeEvO

I received that sprint premier email recently and it said 4g was in my area, sure enough it was NOT! I called sprint and the guy just kept telling me VERY soon. I asked him if there is a ETA or something like that and all he kept saying VERY soon! My zip is 11714.

I live in Roanoke, Va. And we don't have it and probably never will. T-mobile is the only on here with 4g and they have the worst coverage of the big 4...and they don't even have a store here...you have to go to wal-mart or radioshack to buy one of their phones...I hate Virginia...

Kalamazoo, MI has 1 tower near Western MI U campus....can connect to it for a 2nd near portage but it is very limited basically to the westside of town. But will be nice for Football games in the falls as it does cover the stadium.

There should be some coverage down by Mill Racer Dr. Soon, should be down by Cleavland Ave.
Just wanted to give you some hope.

I can't disagree about VA, I'm actually here from CA, and its like 2 different worlds, but just some advice, AT&T just bought T-mobile, sooooo, if you go with T-mobile, your service is going to get alot worse... Also the 4g in my area was in no way advertised, I just happened to find it, cuz my 4g was on, and all the sudden it connected.

All major (VZ, AT&T, T-Mobile) wireless carriers in Phoenix, AZ (5TH LARGEST CITY IN THE US) are 4G except Sprint. Only about 4 sq. mi of 4G in the whole metro/valley area. SAD!

Says that I am supposed to have coverage in NW Austin, TX but only get 1 bar or so.. and only if i'm outside. No coverage in buildings

Sprint 4g in Hampton Roads!
Yes, I live near W. Mercury Blvd. Near Jefferson Ave. in Southern Virginia (Newport News, Va.) and I get a pretty good 4G signal. But once I leave that area......let's say 1 to 2 miles is goes back to 3G. Something is going on in the area. Hopefully all will be online fully in the coming weeks!
