Wow, I live just North (Delaware) and my Uncle is the head of the Communications (Cell phone contracts included) division for Metler-Toledo. I just shot an email off to him asking for some inside info on the rumor that 4G is coming from their building. I'll post back when I get a response from him. Not sure why he didn't tell me before now if they are, he knows I have the evo, he's played with the darned thing!
Sweet. My dad and stepmom stay at a campground in Galena during the summer and I drive down every other weekend. Guess I'll have to head over to Polaris and try it out. Probably won't get a signal at the campground.

ooh closer to me lol im in Springfield
Ok, he got back to me. The Metler-Toledo building definitely does have 4G coming from it. It is not hosted by them though. This was his email to me verbatim.
"Yes, but not us. On the roof, another company in the building has placed stuff."
So we know for a fact at least that the origin is said building!
lol what's the chanced of it reaching me SLIM AND NONE ! lol
Hay my uncle lives in Columbus will that grant me 4G coverage? J/K anyway getting closer to Y-Town!
4G in Columbus, Ohio
I'm in Columbus, Ohio (from Dayton) and I currently have an active 4G connection. I'm near Grant hospital, indoors and have 1 bar.. speeds aren't great, but it is Sprint 4G.. Remind you, Columbus was not on the list of upcoming 4G cities!

hells ya! now i just need cm6 to work with 4g
A few sprint stores in the Hilliard/Upper Arlington area have told me that there will be a 4G tower coming online on top of Drackett Tower on OSU's campus. They said it will be turned on sometime in the fall/winter. Here's hoping this comes true!
oh boy
I hope this is true... it'd be a lovely surprise!

Thanks for the heads up on Grant.... Will test it today!!!!
Everyone, keep testing your 4g in or around Central Ohio and post your results if you get a 4g signal!!!
Ok, report of 4g also near Grant Hospital.... Can a mod please merge the 2 columbus, oh 4g threads?
Please, keep testing 4g in the Central, OH and post the locations in this thread!!!

Just tried up in Lewis Center and no 4g signal. Will have to try again on Monday when I am back downtown
This is earlier then expected.
Works all around the statehouse grounds and another guy stated around grant.... So, it should work from statehouse, east of the statehouse to at least grant hospital or further.

Its a small world after all..... how ya been?
Not sure this will be the same as OKC but I saw in the sprint forums OKC was scheduled first of 2011, but Best Buy says it probably be this fall and in some places in Oklahoma 4g is being tested... i would take that with a grain of salt though.
I've heard that they are setting up the infrastructure and testing it. I'd imagine it would be sometime 2011. Again, just hearsay though.
I used to work at the sprint call center in okc that has 4g tech support (i know y have 4g tech in a place that has no 4g) they told us okc will get it in the spring where the call center is on nw expressway and council there is a 4g tower next in but they won't turn it on

As far as Tulsa goes, I turned on 4g yesterday on my epic and was able to pick up a weak signal around 7st and memorial. I guess Sprint is in the testing phase right now
I connected at 71st and Mingo. It took some scanning but I finally connected with 2 bars.
Do you think maybe the store at 71 across from the QT between Memorial and Mingo may have a small 4G tower to show it off, and you are picking that up? Or do you think they have actually started turning it on in Tulsa.
No, I called my buddy at that store and asked if 4g was officially here, he said no but it is in testing phase. I also asked of they have a 4g airave installed and he said that they did not. So welcome to beta wimax in tulsa.

Well I'm at 71 a Yale, but on a CM 6.2 with no 4g. I guess I will try out the the 4G version of it tonight.
Will post later on what I get at 71 and Yale.
My Sprint store said that Fort Smith Arkansas would see it around the end of 2011. We are way smaller than Tulsa so I would say before then?

There is a Sprint 4g tower on in downtown Tulsa. Signal is weak but the speed is great. Can't wait for more towers to be activated.
I connected to 4G in Stillwater tonight so it has to be real soon

4G is soo FAIL
LOL about 1/8th of what I've gotten on Tmobile in the same areas on my Nexus One. But I'd still rather have Sprint because Tmobile bounces between Edge, 1G, 3G, and HSPA nonstop, without your phone ever moving. Nothing like waiting for HSPA to kick in while your waiting for a simple weather widget to refresh. I'll be curious to see what Sprint does when its finally rolled out here but I am not hopeful it will be anykind of useful. At least with Sprint I can turn the nonsense off and they are a little faster than Cricket.

You got 25mb download speed on a 3g phone?
For the past two weeks, a startup company called OpenRange.net has been spamming my snail mailbox with postcards advertising their wireless service. It turns out that OpenRange is reselling Clear 4G WiMAX.
My home is not yet served by the Clear WiMAX network, though OpenRange claim sthat WiMAX will be in my area shortly.
Do they know something, or are they just flapping at the mouth in hopes of scoring a customer?
Is there some sort of listing or other informational posting that says when Clear will be adding WiMAX to existing towers?

OK maybe I should have been more specific. My general area already has WiMAX coverage, but the coverage limit is shown on the map as about a mile south of my home.
I live in Lititz, a suburb in northern Lancaster County. On the 2nd floor of my house in a very specific location, I can actually pick up the WiMAX signal from towers located south of me. I've edited my WiMAX settings to be lenient with SNR for connections and such in order to obtain that very, very weak signal (-95 dBm if I'm lucky).
That said, OpenRange has been soliciting my business now for two weeks, claiming that 4G is coming to my area. Either this is one stupid company stupidly spending money on sending me and my neighbors advertisements when they know we can't get a usable WiMAX signal in our neighborhood, or they know when Clear is adding WiMAX to my local tower.
I actually received a promotional email from sprint. In the email they told me that 4G was now in my town of Bethpage, Ny. I flash a 4g rom and nothing! I called sprint and told them about the email from them that I got saying it was available. The rep on the phone was very nice. He told me very soon. I asked if there was a ETA, and he just kept repeating VERY soon (there was alot of emphysis on VERY LoL). Later on I found out to check on clear.com Sure enough it comes up in my town, but when I put in my address nada!
Im from Harrisburg as well and I have 4G in my house.
I don't see anything in Lititz, but that may change later in the year. Currently though they are spamming you.
Ok so I called Sprint because of my horrible 3g speeds and he told me it was because of my area..which is true since I live in downtown..but he told me not to worry because all Sprint towers will be converted to 4g and then he said its gonna be as fast as regular cable internet..not sure about that part but we will see!!!!!!!!!
Did they say any kind of time frame? Does 4g & 3g even run on the same tower? Sure he wasn't just feeding you something? If the signal is too bad and you complain enough they will give you an airave

And they told me through chat before the Evo was released on June 4th that my zip code 33033 (Homestead (in South Miami) already had 4g... Well needless to say I have yet to connect 1 time to 4g... oh and i get about 10kiloBITS per second as of like 3 months ago... Ima have them check my data usage and understand why it has plummeted... they owe me at least a months bill free! (And they better upgrade me to full upgradeability like i have had for the past 5 years!) Either that or I'll have them so fed with litigations they will forget how to breathe...

Actually, Sprint is in the process of converting old towers which required separate componants for 3G and WIMAX and converting them into new, smaller, all-inclusive towers so that they will be 3G/4G

this, and the first post in this thread are completely false... what are you guys smoking?
Sprint doesn't own any Wimax equipment, it belongs to Clearwire.
Clearwire will only be building out 4G Wimax sites in major cities, the suburbs will be built out by OpenRange..
so, there can never be a combined 3g/4g cell site, they will always have separate equipment for both.

This map describing direct connect service seems to imply that future roaming coverage will be EVDO after network vision. So, no more fighting Sprint for the 111x PRLs any more.
Huh? I don't see the connection between Direct Connect and univeral roaming. All I see is that Sprint is transitioning Direct Connect (push to talk) from the old Nextel Frequencies to the Sprint frequencies as part of Network Vision. What am I missing here?
They have no plans to open the floodgates of complete 3g roaming to everyone. They want you to hate to use data while roaming for a reason.

I hypothesize that direct connect requires EV-DO for a couple of reasons.
First, Sprint's current direct connect map only includes areas served by native Sprint EV-DO. Areas with native 1xRTT Sprint coverage are excluded from direct connect coverage. I suspect Alltel EV-DO roaming areas can support direct connect however Sprint is looking to win more favorable roaming agreements before they allow that.
The second clue is the direct connect apps that were referred to at the Network Vision Strategy update in October. If any android phone can use direct connect through an app, an IP-based implementation would make the most sense.

It was stated before that the new direct connect phones would even work when 1x roaming.

5g doesn't exist and wont for atleast another 5 to 10 year 5g is slated to be fiberoptics to the tower and there is no technology capable it broadcasting it wirelessly over 600 feet at this point
We are legion, for we are many
where i live sprint has the best coverage. my friends with att and verizon all lack coverage where i don't. the north shore of long island from the middle and west towards nyc has no service though, any carrier. that's just ridiculous. its a rich area and they don't want cancer i guess.....or cellphone coverage. on the plus side though, sprint's cheaper than anyone else. as long as they're cheaper, i'll stay. i'm willing to pay less for ****tier service, but as soon as i'm paying as much as somebody with a good data connection, i'm gonna peace out. wimax was a joke though... i can't believe that.
