4g in Costa Mesa CA, mid Orange County - EVO 4G General

Hey all,
Got a 4g signal while sitting in my back yard in Costa Mesa today. Speeds were sub par though. I am sure because it is testing obviously, but this is exciting never the less!

good news! thanks for the heads up

New 3g areas!

^^ bad link

Yay, Corona, CA. It's about damn time too. Although, if I drive barely 5 miles west I get 3g and also get 3G at my workplace which is in Los Angeles county. It's only at my house where I only get Edge connection.
edit: 3rd quarter, so that means I will be getting 3g in my city sometime between June and September, nice...looks like I will no longer have to turn on wifi when I get home.
Damn this 3g thing sucks (lack of).
If I go the nyc The speed is beautiful. In westchester too. I get to Stamford and get a weak signal by UBS and nothing anywhere else. In norwalk, I get a 3g sinal once in a blue. random times in the evening. And when I realize it the speeds are horrible. Damn T mo. I know you can dish out the signal...Hurry/
I waited so long, but 3Q for CT seems so far away.
When they add 3G coverage to a city how big of a radius is effected? I'm about 40 miles from Manchester, NH and 50 miles from Portland, ME (both second quarter upgrades according to the link). I know those distances are quite large but using the Boston 3G as a reference on Tmobile's coverage checker (which is currently down) it covers a pretty wide span.
Will I notice a difference?
There is a possibility youll see a difference, just depends on location i.e living in a Valley etc, im not overly familiar with the US topography as i only know the tourist destinations of Florida, California and Vegas Baby!!
Im from England,, where Bump mapping was something Cartographers used to do to their wives
all i can say is im with 3G and i live about 40 miles from Manchester (UK) and 15 Miles from Sheffield (UK) so where ever there is a big City, for me there is 3G
Its good to hear 3G is rolling out for you!

Cool, it's reasonably flat between me and Manchester NH so finger's crossed.
I'm from Blighty myself by the way.
None in Columbus Yet
So, it says Q2 for Columbus, OH and I'm yet to get any. I wonder just how reliable that list is.

Where are you from? I'm moving back to Manchester in a month, I'm excited about 3g . I live in Nashua now and there's no 3g till around Lowell and south and it's blotchy. As it is in Manchester Edge is blotchy and at my moms house I only get gprs, but near Elm street and east I get Edge. I was working in Beverly mass and I get some 3.5g out there. 2nd quarter is april - june correct? So I should be getting 3g real soon.
There were quite a few blind spots in the 3G network in the Minneapolis/St Paul (Minnesota) northern suburbs, but this past Tuesday, T-Mobile turned on their new 3G towers. It's great to have 3G at work now, and I can actually do some webbrowsing on my breaks.

Nice! I can't wait for my city to get it. I'm sick of toggling on wifi when I get home.

Good news for Sprint customers in central FL!

Just in time for the EVO release.
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/may/06/sprints-4g-service-arriving-tampa-summer/
Now I've just got to come up with the money for the EVO.
Thread moved to EVO Forum.

Tampa isn't Central Florida, but I'm glad to see Orlando on the list! We really need speed boost here in Orlando! I just hope that "Later this year" isn't like December or something...
If orlando is even slated for 4G this year I am getting the Evo right away!!!
Oh boy! Now I can stream real-time video of me hugging Mickey Mouse in 720p next time I go to Orlando!
...come to think of it, that does sound like a pretty interesting idea...
I cannot wait for 4G in Orlando. This information has just made my week : )
What is the realistic range when they say a certain city is getting it?
How far out of the city...
Maybe orlando, West Palm and the surrounding areas will get it soon then.
LA is getting it but i hope they get all of LA County
Does this apply to miami ?
I'm glad to see Daytona and Orlando getting 4G. If I'm not in one city I'm in the other.

An antenna some where on fairview and baker (stater bros?)... And an antenna at bristol and 405 and there should be one at 17th and irvine... And also 22nd and newport(stater bros) has full bars... And victoria and harbor has 2-3 bars
Writing this from my 4g at 55 fwy and baker exit

4G in OC rips
I just clocked a 6173 kbps x 999 kbps in CM
I have been pulling spotty 4G from 5/Chapman (orange) to Los Angeles via Amtrak. I have fair 4G coverage but I live in a 4 story apartment building by Angel Stadium. Best data pull was 4832 and 921.
Enjoy!

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 cleveland ever?

Ive had the evo since the day it came out and since been waiting to get a 4g signal, does anyone have an update on how there pursuing this........
yes, cleveland, columbus and cinci are all in the works. no official schedule yet - NYC, LA and SF are the big openings that are being focused on.
thanks man they need to hurry this up
4G is live in North Olmsted. Strongest signal is in the area of the mall.
There's a sensorly map viewer app that will show you where people are seeing 4G. It's actually in a pretty large area around Cleveland already.
Can confirm I get 4g from cleveland to westlake going 90 west!!!! Averaging 8 to 10 down. Getting it at the office in westlake as well At the Atrium getting very good building penetration
