my speed test is here

Nut sure how long it's been around, but since I've gotten the phone last Thursday I've had 0 to 2 bars in my house in Alexandria, va.

same except in my house
route 7 runs past my street
on my street i dont have any but on route 7 i have signal its weird
In Clarendon and Courthouse neighborhoods of Arlington I get about 2mbps...
Not particularly spectacular, but the high speeds and faster phone makes it way faster than my iPhone 3G.
Virginia has 4G before Colorado? What is wrong with this picture.............
I live in herndon and I get 1 to2 bars averaging 2+ mbps not spectacular but faster then ATT.

Northern Virginia -- which is essentially a branch of Washington, D.C. There is nothing wrong with this picture

The signal strength is really just your strength to the tower, not your connection to the internet, just FYI I have had higher speeds with 1-2 bars than with a full signal. Anyway there are some spots in Houston, TX near where I work that I can get ~8-10Mbps down on, but I usually average about half that. Here are some pics, also btw a download test is a bit more accurate than those "speed tests" they can lie to you sometimes.

Yup. Northern VA, Richmond, Hampton Roads >>>> Colorado . We don't have any 4G here in Hampton Roads that I know of yet (no Evo til Monday), but there is a new Clearwire antenna/tower near my girlfriends house. I hope there are many more of those to come and soon.
I want them to put one in in Springfield. That's where my office is and 4G would be awesome!

There's definitely 4G at Franconia Springfield Metro Station in Virginia...and at the Telegraph Road Gate to Fort Belvoir...

Apparently there are two antennas live in downtown Denver and others aren't live but have been spotted (including on the Sprint call center in the tech center) so its coming here too very shortly.

That's good to hear. I wish Sprint would give us a real roadmap of their 4G rollout. There's no point in hiding it when people know the towers are there and are getting 4G signals.
4 bars in parts of richmond

I have been able to get WiMAX in Manassas on 234 near the Barnes and Noble. Also, just up the road in Centreville at 66 & 28. Good thing too because in both or those areas the 3G service is terrible. This is one main reason holding me back from upgrading to the Evo LTE or the Galaxy SIII since I will no longer have 4G.
Ok, Socal is huge. We know it has been located in Costa Mesa, OC, & Westwood.
It's now in the SFV, Canoga Park.
Sprint's site indicates a 'future tower' around Chatsworth by the 118, maybe it's active now.
first of all the image i get is a speedtest app screen capture.,
second of all, scrpints coverage map shows "furure sprint 3g network tower" so im not sure where you are getting a 4g tower from.
waterboy, it's true...I get 4g in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, West Covina and Pomona......
They are definitely testing out 4G in the area. I've had signal in Irvine close to John Wayne Airport, in Anaheim near the 91 between 57 and 55 freeways, and in Los Angeles near the federal building. So yea, its coming.
i hit enter too soon.
i know that there is 4g up in other places i have gotten it in Burbank and around Staples center downtown.
I was in Chatsworth yesterday and there was no 4g yet.
also, is it safe to assume that any future tower is 4g compatible? or was OP looking at a different map.
I'm no expert with cell towers, but I made an assumption that they are probably backwards compatible. The 3G coverage in that area is sufficient to say the least, so another inclination to question them putting in another 3G tower and not 4G.
The screen cap shows the 4G signal and a speedtest show bandwidth speeds. Was that so confusing?
got some in santa ana!!

Ah, ya I was a little confused by that routing as well. Picked TX for some reason im unsure of.
I think Sprint is rolling them out in SoCal for sure... it used to be I can only get spotty coverage in downtown, now it's improved and in San Gabriel Valley area, they rolled them out as well. The furtherest WiMax coverage around SGV I noticed is as far as 19/Valley.
However I just don't see any signal on Huntington...

Monrovia/Arcadia area I can connect to the tower but when trying to load any data it just kicks me back to 3G. Hopefully they activate them soon.
Jees, 10mb down.. that's twice as fast as my home internet.

They need to start rolling out in Kern County... Bakersfield needs this haha
I used speedtest and got 9.5mbps, daaayyymm! It probably will use more battery leaving it on 4g though. I wonder how good the 4g coverage is here in the southern CA area.
Oh my god I just moved from Pasadena to San Diego for college just a couple weeks ago. I asked the guys at the Sprint store when 4g was rolling out down here and they said not until Jan/Feb next year. fml
maybe not

Maybe they are just testing the system. It is back to 3g now=/. Hopefully it will stay up soon.
Ontario (Inland Empire), is picking up a weak 4G signal. I had it pick up a signal by my home (by 10 & 15 fwy), near Ontario Mills Mall, I was able to do a speedtest before the 4G signal was lost, it did 6Mbps download, 2Mbps upload, not bad for a weak signal with 1 bar... Seems like the IE is going to get 4G pretty soon!!!

Well of course! You don't think Sprint would pass up the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl do you? Don't worry, Verizon is rolling out LTE to cities with football teams. LA doesn't have one so that's another thing Detroit can be proud of.

It uses more battery, but the latest radio and kernel updates are better about battery usage.
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-rolls-out-4g-six-more-cities

Springfield,oh
4g is.not.in dayton yet
from my phone duh
its still a crapshoot in northern KY, closer to the river or airport the better it seems, no signal at my house in independence, but I got a poor to weak signal at the Target in florence last night at work., but at least I know it works on my phone.
Keep in mind for the Cleveland network, we will be continually adding towers through April 2011. The coverage map on sprint.com will be updated every 15 days to reflect the changes
Still no love for detroit? Get it together sprint!

Good old Springfield... I went to school at Witt.
And I'm getting pretty good service on 4G up in Cleveland.
im suprised they didnt have 4G in L.A., Miami and DC.
Damn, still no love in Buffalo. Sigh.

Woohoo for 4G in LA!
We've had it here unofficially for a while, but it was always spotty. Although I've had a solid two bars of it from my house since they first started testing it out here.
Time to flash a Sense ROM and turn on the Wimax.

Weird. I was in DC end of Sept through mid October and 4g was up and running fine.
Dam I'm only 1 mile from a freakin spot of 4G that's in the wilderness park in south OC. Otherwise I would have to commute 10 miles to get more stable 4G, O well hope they build more towers soon for the rest of Orange county.

lubbock = texas tech.
Is it just me or I could care less. 4G is unusable IMHO. The battery drain isn't worth the extra bandwidth. T-Mo's HSDPA is the direction every wireless carrier should be looking at.
still no memphis.
wtf
Maybe Omaha?
For about the last week or two service has been almost nonexistent when I use the phone at my house and it was because Sprint said they were updating their towers. I have lived in the same place for 6 years and have never had an issue like this. Has anyone in a 4G city noticed this happening shortly before it gets launched or am I just reading too much into it unfortunately?
We just got 3g 1/27/11 and wondering if sprint upgraded from 2g to 4g? I don't have an evo to check, its not listed on Sprint's 4g cities
It would be a shocker to wait this long for 3g and find we got 4g
My guess is we would have to wait on Clearwire to get 4g not Sprint?
Not that this means anything but .. 4G sprung up at I10 and College St in Beaumont, TX, just to your West, a few weeks ago. It seems to be 1 - 3 towers worth of coverage around that address.
Unfortunately coverage does not seem to be expanding yet.
Check out Lake Charles, LA on this map: clear.com/coverage. It looks like there is a 4G tower online, but it's just like Beaumont .. very weak coverage so far.
(Sorry can't post links yet)
nope
Don't see Louisiana listed?

In lake charles works great inside mall and around Ryan & prien lake rd farther out you have to be by a window or outside. Speed max is 5 mbps down 1 up
yes
T-Mobile is going to be the first to officially have 4G in Lake Charles
i recently found out it is available now (i blogged about it here)
but once the speeds can be considered true '4G' it will be the first in southwest Louisiana =]
I'm getting it in the Lake St/ Sale Rd area. It was one of the first things I checked when i got my EVO 3D. In fact, I'm on it now walking around my neighborhood.
look again
I'm in south Lake Charles on my 3vo with no 4G and has not worked anywhere. It shows 4G antenna on but its still on 3G.

In the mall yesterday, I got good and strong signal. According to opensignal, I'm connecting to sprint wimax. Speedtests are over double 3G.
sorry
sorry but I will have to see it for myself, heck we just got 3g 1/27/11 on Sprint, one of the last cities in the US to get 3G. I don't think we'll get 4g anytime in the near future

In south central LC along the 210 loop it's there. Opensignal shows connection to Sprint WIMAX, as does the 4G connection. It's not official, but it is there.
