[Q] Sprint 4G in Boston finally. :) - EVO 4G General

Now that Boston has FINALLY Got Sprint 4G what is everyone take on its data speeds? I'm waiting for my EVO 4G and Epic 4G to come in. I ordered them last week and cant wait to see what the speeds are. I was shocked to find out that a friend of mine was able to get Vonage working using the Sprint 4G network.

I'm getting 9mbps consistently in Cambridge.

6mbps all the way down in Quincy
JAson

8.9 in norwood

In Quincy i am getting between 5mbs and i hit 11 at the Thomas Crane Public Library. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Slow internet in Miami

Anyone been getting pretty slow network speed tests in Miami Florida?
4g can't seem to go past 350kb/s and 3g is around .4 mbit according to speedtest....
I've got the latest radios flashed ...

7.75 Mbps / 1.00 Mbps in Pinecrest, FL
Same problem here at least the tower downtown giving only 2 mbps down and 1 up
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
2.48 down, .85 up. Indoors in Miami, Coral Way and 22nd Ave. On occasions I do get 7dwn and 1up. What's up with that?
I've been thinking of getting Clear at home to replace my Comcast but those speeds are holding me back. Hopefully once Sprint/Clear finishes rolling out new cities they'll expand and beef up the cities they've finished, at least thats my hope.

Yeah it is a bit disappointing... Around west kendall they just lit up the 4g about a week ago however I feel that my 3g got worse.... Gay!

Im all over miami driving around all day and the 3g is pretty bad. Glad I know its not was only me.

I'm up in broward & inside my house the 3g sux ass & 4g can't Evan get a signal , out aide though its a hole different thing I get full 3g & 4G if I'm in range I'm getting pretty good signal .
I work in Miami lakes & the signal is not that great either .
My theory is that the 3g is about to be Evan slower as soon as they have more 4G towers , every 4G tower that comes up we will have less 3g signal

4G..... Phoenix!! Stapely and us 60.

4.5 down.... 1.5 up! top o the on ramp. I was so shocked I had to share!
I thought they were only testing LTE in phoenix. I hope this becomes something.
I wish I had those speeds. Hell I wish I had 4g

No go for me on central and thomas in phx.
There have been reports though that somewhere near bell rd in northern phoenix, you can connect during the night. Some say they were doing testing out there.
If you want to track where people have gotten 4g coverage, download the Sensorly app on the market. It's very helpful to see where Sprint is expanding coverage as you can see a lot of places before Sprint announces them.

Or just go to clear.com/coverage and see the new places. They seem to update the maps every Monday or so.
Sweet! I'll be travelling to Phoenix next week. I'll have to check for signal while I'm driving around the city.
There's a little blob over around 7th and Bell. I've been obsessively checking the clear maps for months and our two Phoenix blobs haven't grown yet.
...that's actually Mesa. I miss living there. :'(

Poor Internet in NJ. Sprint issue?

My internet is so bad that updating the prl/profile, restarting, and toggling airplane mode won't do any good. Anyone have this problem in mid NJ?
Been having the same problem all afternoon in south jersey and northern de.

In bergen co. It sucks everywhere since dec. 152kbps. Monday i was able to get 542kbps at my house. They said the towers in my area will be fixed by the 29th of this month. Lets see

Did they give any indication what the problem is?
I had some problems yesterday for the first time - it was about an hour where I couldnt get a signal and kept roaming (also force roaming with roam control app) but then back to normal here in Somerset /New Brunswick.
Yeah im also forcing roam here haha
Terrible speeds in Atlantic City but that has been the case for a while.
Is 4g ever gonna come to south Jersey?? Not the crappy 4g that hits the outskirts of Jersey from Philly, I mean true 4g in Jersey?? Been over a year and is truly a disgrace that Jersey has been passed over!! Bull#%&#!

Unhappy with 4G

Not even gonna discuss speed and bytes per second. I'm lucky if I stay connected rooted or not rooted. How can sprint be.proud about their 4G network if its not stable. Anyone have a steady 4G connection. I'm in NYC.

Also in the Bay Area, CA. Pretty stable. Constantly 9-10 mbps. Not trying to rub it in the author of this threads face, just saying it might be your area buddy. Hopefully that changes soon.

I live in the San Fernando valley CA and my 4g is greatcoat here inside and out
I have steady 4G, in suburbs of LA.
I have a tower outside my office, and if I'm outside, 4 bars. Once I go inside, the building....poof it is gone. Which is normal for the very high frequency WiMax is on, it just does not penetrate walls very well. Connection speed during the day is horrible, but goes up when normal people are still sleeping 4am, it might hit 5 mbps.
I'm in STL

Depends on where you are. On my 3D i get a connection on the edge of my bed lmao. Whenever I travel to central west palm my 4G is kicking ass.
I Haz 3D!
I have decent coverage when traveling around Nashville TN but when I'm inside a building, or my house, I'm lucky to stay connected and have more than 1 or 2 "curved bars". penetration sucks with Wimax.

I have a steady 4g and I live in NYC as well, specifically Williamsburg. I get about 4 bars outside, one to two bars while inside.
When I lived at my parents house in the Bronx, I got full signal from inside their apartment and it was great.
Where do you live that you get bad coverage? I always considered NYC to have great coverage, but so never tried it in Queens. It may be worst there.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm in St. Louis, and I find it to be pretty thin. As others have mentioned, the frequency means that it just doesn't work well indoors. And it destroys my already terrible battery life. However, if I can get a signal, and if I'm near a charger, the speed is very nice.
Overall I'd say my WiMax experience is a C-.
HERE IS A FACT. this is A FACT! Sprints 4G network is a joke. They have no real workable 4G network. Having a tower here and there doesn't work! Sprint HAS NO PLANS IN ANY FORM OR WAY TO INCREASE THEIR WIMAX 4G NETWORK! They are coming out with LTE phones for a reason. because they are stupid and don't know how to run a company. Other companies LTE networks were LARGER than Sprints ON THEIR FIRST DAY TURNED ON!
My biggest annoyance with 4g is that sometimes it won't load a webpage. With 2-3 bars of 4g even. The progress bar will get about halfway, then stall out. It downloads files quick, but for some reason just has issues with webpages.

I had the same problem when i first got my Evo and I was pissed, when I called Sprint, we went through all kinds od procedural BS, but after a month of calls to Sprint and HTC, we came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue and could not be repaired, so they gave me a new phone. Then I was getting 5 Mb per second. I advise you to let Sprint know and do not give up, they will replace your phone with whatever you want, make sure to let them know how pissed you are, it helps

I'm in the mesa/gilbert area (Loop 202 Santan and Power Rd) and get good coverage for the most part. I can't vouch for speeds on the 4G LTE because I don't have my GS3 yet! Still using my Cappy, but the HSPA+ speeds I get aren't bad.
Here are my sprint speeds at work :-(
edit: well for the life of me i cannot get the picture to show up. It was 221ms ping, 87kbps up and 38kbps down
