anyways i had 1-2 circles of 4g!!!
my speed test is here
any body else too?
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.

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.

Manassas, Va also has 4G. Just discovered this last week....hehe.

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.

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?

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...

I was in so woburn last night and I picked up 4g. Only prob though it was slow as hell. I had 2 bars of 4g, but was bringing xda website slowly. Turned 4g off, started using 3g and it was fast again. Not sure why (using Fresh).
Now you guys are making me jealous. I'm up in the area (Anywhere and everywhere from Revere up to Peabody/Danvers) just about every other weekend...
Maybe next time I head up I'll flash a stock ROM before heading up just to see how it is.
I'm an IT consultant in the greater Boston area, so i've been trying out 4G access nearly everywhere i've got clients at -
Some places off the top of my head :
Kendall Square - good (+5mbps)
Crosstown (Albany/Mass Ave) - Great (+7mbps)
Sullivan Sq Charlestown - Awesome (+10mbps)
Malden/Medford - Decent (3+mbps, haven't tried lately)
Winchester - spotty
Hancock tower - NADA, no 3G either though
Wakefield, Edgewater business park - good (+5mbps)
Cambridge a few minutes ago
9.17Mbps
It's official now!
http://www.clear.com/coverage?intcmp=index_d_prmnav_cvg
Maps have been updated, and I'm impressed. they managed to cover a huge chunk of Boston, suburbs and other cities. Even Framingham seems to be completely blanketed in 4g haha.
Corner of State St. and Congress, downtown Boston - 6.83 mbps down, 1.60 mbps up.
SO Psyched. 6.3 to 6.88 in Quincy. Did not expect much outside downtown, but boy was I wrong.

Still not getting a signal at lombard and van ness. Definitely got a solid connection in the financial yesterday though.
Yea just saw the news on engadget.com today and I was pretty excited. They said they're getting 7 mps down and 1.2 mps up at Potrero Hills.

Oh what?! This is great news, now I have to test this when I am in school tomorrow. I will confirm signal later that day.
FINALLY!!
Not only am I getting 393.9 kB/s down from the Wichita, KS speedtest server (strangely the SF server only gets 180.6 kB/s down), but I can WiFi tether using 4G, I though that was restricted?!?! Sweet!!!!
PRI is still 1.34_003 but at this speed I dont really care.

Was on O'Farrell and Grant (Market & 4th), got 4.4mbps, 600kbps.
I was passing by the baybridge and 101 connector and tested 4g with full signal and got 6.5Mbps down and 2Mbps up. Not too bad. But when I get closer to Octavia and Fell, signal dropped to 1 bar.
weird; I had a signal two days ago, but haven't had it since..

Hyde and Eddy - No go. The Netarchy map says I'm less than a block away from a signal, but I don't see it.
If Clear builds out from currently operative spots, I'll see some signal sometime around... 2027.
We also have across the bay in Hayward. More coverage toward the hills @ on CSU Hayward. At School I was getting 8900kbps down and 1200kbps up. Fast as hell. I believe they have many towers near college campuses, as my friend get full 4g bars at San Jose State as well.
Someone asked about 4G speeds over the weekend. I could't find the thread, so I'll post them up here.
I live on the south side of Kansas City and at my house I pull between 3 and 5.5 Meg down pretty consistently.
At my dentist's office today I pulled between 2 and 3.5 on several attempts.
My upload speeds have been consistently between 850k and 1.5 Meg.
I'm looking forward to testing at my buddies house. We were able to obtain dl's over 8 last time I was there messing with his Evo.

Guys, check out the Map Viewer app for an unofficial coverage map. Works great!
I found this great Android app '4G,CDMA,GSM & WiFi Map Viewer' on AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.sensorly.viewer
Shifted from my Evo using XDA app.
Western Chicago Suburbs here (Higgins corridor and north of Elgin on Fox River).
I drove around last weekend and monitored the 4G.
I'm mostly seeing 3-5 M upload and .5-1.5 M uploads (early Saturday morning)
Closer to noon I saw rates drop to 1-3 M uploads. I was driving in some pretty out of the way places and saw fairly good 4G coverage.
I was on I290 the other day and got one hit at 12 Mega (!). Just saw it once
and have not been able to re-create it.
My guess is the closer to Chicago you get, the higher rates you'll get.
Anybody have an idea if Sprint is reducing bandwidth when their network gets busy?
I've got the sensorly app, one of the better ones.
I'm hoping "Open Signal Maps" gets their act together because it is actually
trying to locate the towers on a central map.
Somehow I've managed to buy a house right in the middle of a group of towers
so that I only get 1 bar of 4G upstairs (3G only downstairs). Once I get on the road
I get good 4G coverage (2-4 bars)
4G speeds in shawnee ks suck but they are better than the 3 G ones lol
I usually see speeds between 6-8meg up in Cleveland. I use the Chicago server to test with.
