I'm at&t user right now and considering to buy htc evo 4g with sprint.
All of my friends are using either at&t or verizon so I don't have any idea about sprint.
Is sprint 3g coverage in columbus ohio good enough to use?
Thanks for any advice.
on the sprint official website they have a coverage map.
When I went to Easton, the 3G works just fine. It works well in the Lancaster area also.
I seen somewhere that Columbus / Cincinnati are suppose to get 4G this year..
nice i'm in cincinnati oh
Cinci and Cleveland are first in Ohio, sprint.com/4g for more info.... good to know I'll have 4G when I come back to see the family.

I live in Licking County and for the most part coverage is very good. I get a couple bad spots when driving across the county...
I work in Columbus and get very good service but it can get spotty when inside buildings when in downtown Columbus. The weird thing is I'll be standing next to someone with at&t or verizon and their service is good.... I'm starting to think sprints signal is weaker and has trouble penetrating buildings bc of this! It happens to me all the time bc I'm downtown ALOT. Once outside of the buildings, my Sprint service is great and pretty decent 3G speeds.
I live in Columbus (westerville) and got an HTC HERO for my wife and used it for a few days, no coverage problems thoughout the easton(ish) area and also drive up past marysville on 33 and no problems on the drive.
I have since given her HERO up and am awaiting the EVO
To the poster above me: what sprint phone are you currently on and what phones were the other people using? You would be surprised on how much difference a phone can make in reception, not just the network
Im also near the cincinnati area in butler county ohio. Ive been wondering how far the 4g coverage would extend. In between cincinnati and dayton. ?? Any ideas?

I have seen near the same results from the samsung instinct to my current Palm Pre. With me Pre getting a little better signal than the instinct.
When noticing the differences with Sprint coverage versus at&t & the iphone 3G and the Droid on Verizon. I have noticed them getting much stronger signals indoors downtown columbus in a few different locations.
It kinda rubs me the wrong way but with the difference in $$$, I get over it b/c indoors in downtown columbus is my worst spot....I've already contacted Sprint about each location and they've marked it for a ticket and will research it.
So I have been trying to fix my radio all day and just called sprint to see if they had any outages. The rep told me they were doing some 4g work in Chicago today and mumbled something about Austin also.
Any one having 4g problems around the city?
I live around the O'hare area and the coverage isn't impressive at all. I hope it's just due to them working on the stability, because if that's the best they're going to roll out, it's pretty sad.
T-Mobile announced more cities now with HSPA+ during the myTouch release. Here's the list of cities:
With its latest expansion, T-Mobile’s HSPA+ footprint now includes Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss.; Denver, Colo.; Huntsville, Ala.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Norfolk, Va.; Omaha, Neb.; Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento, Calif.; and West Palm Beach, Fla. T-Mobile expects to reach 100 major metropolitan areas and 200 million people in 2010.
Source: Tmonews.
Personally, the fact that San Jose is getting is best news ever as I get my phone tomorrow. Hopefully T-Mo expands more, bringing the love to more people around this part of town. Chicago gets all the love all the time!
Nice!
I was told by a rep that it wasn't comin in my area till November but this is really good news.
Thanks for the post...

Sacramento, Calif.
Can't wait!
no where on tmonews does it say these things maybe I looked it over can you provide a link?
SO these cities mentioned are HSPA+ live right now ?
Huntsville, AL \o/
We deserve it more than any other city in the state
Yes, Huntsville is the place to be in AL.
Too bad I live just outside of Huntsville where I only get edge. I look forward to having faster podcast downloads on the way to work though, once we get HSPA+.

Definitely. Awesome city although I was admittedly hesitant to move to the hick-state initially. Great place to be in the tech business. Hopefully Google brings that lovely fiber here...
I actually am in Hazel Green so only get edge and 3G in certain parts, but most of my phone-using day is in Huntsville area. 3G leaked from Huntsville out to Hazel Green rather quickly and I hope it does the same with HSPA+... Actually, the first day I saw 3G symbol ever was within Hazel Green limits on my way to work with my new G1 one day...

It was the same post as their myTouch HD launch. TMo announced it, see if you can confirm it by reading a press release perhaps.
It's not updated at TMo's official website, but it should be here pretty soon.

Couldnt agree more with the fiber comment, this town(Huntsville) could definitely use it, especially considering the massive growth its experiencing right now.
Ive noticed the HSPA+ for about a week now, I used to get intermittant HSPA connections on my myTouch slide a few weeks back, but nothing solid, however in the last week I had nothing but HSPA connection no matter where I was at, including the freakin psuedo-bunker I work in, which I had problems even getting Edge in before.

Wow, a lot of people here from the area.
Could definitely use the fiber boost. It's an extremely tech/research-oriented city. I understand the places where the work is being done already have commercial connections, but... just give me the fiber!
If you don't already know, we have the same icon for 3G/HSPA/HSPA+ (the 'H') so it will be hard to tell what network you're really on.
about damn time they do Phoenix and Tucson at the same time!!!!!!
Man, I cannot wait. Did a random speed test yesterday and got about 7.6Mbps down on 3G.
Yes! Finally San Jose and San Fransisco

Phoenix area has been announced for some time now actually. They have been setting up HSPA+ speeds around my are for the last month now. My N1 has been basicly maxed out at 5-7mbps around my area ^_^
Now I am going to wait tell December to decide on what HSPA+ phone I want =D
Spoke too soon. Still stuck on HSDPA here in Salt Lake City. Guess I still have to wait till November...

Anyone Else from South FL Here?
Anyone else from South FL (Tri-County Area (Palm beach.Broward/Miami Dade))?
If Miami, Ft lauderdale and West Palm are getting HSPA+, does that mean the less-major cities between them are as well?
Like Deerfield, Boca, Delray, Pompano, etc since they are between these three cities

Trust me, you want the G2. The MyTouch is not only ugly, but it has a stupid name. ;-)
(Oh, and FWIW, the G2 is a VERY nice phone!)
Come to Chicago dammit! I want faster speeds

I went to the Tmobile store in fort union to play with the G2. The phone had some settings messed up so I couldn't access all the internet, but i could open google's home page and do a basic search. It was MUCH fast than my N1.
Norfolk in the house! I went to the Tmobile store on the 30th, when I received my phone, and the reps were surprised at two things:
I had the phone before them and the fact that the H was showing up in my device.
They concluded that the towers were upgraded, but they were just waiting to "flip the switch".

Im seeing pockets of 4G popping up all over Louisiana on clears website. Anybody getting it on their phones? It looks like slidell, hammond, B.R., lake charles are all lit up in green. Anybody?
http://www.clear.com/coverage
Amazing! Good catch. I just checked last week and and there was nothing.
Haven't been in any of those areas to give it a try and just flashed CM thinking we would never get 4G...go figure.
New Iberia before metro NO? Weird. I guess I am going to have to go back to rooted stock soon and be on the lookout!
I'm very tempted to go slidell to see whats up? It looks like clear is adding places everyday. I'm always in the walmart at [email protected]
I think I am gonig to nandroid back and see if I can get anything in harahan. Doubt it but looks like they are flipping it on quickly. Will report back if I can get anything here.
Anyone tried this in any of those spots? I'm in Metairie, but it would be nice to know that at least places near me are getting 4g.

Best buy on vets is selling a bunch of laptops with wimax included so it may be here soon.
Ill be in slidell on Saturday, so I will see then.
Ha, I'll have to check it out on my way to Dibbz! Maybe one of the employees knows something we don't.
Works in lake charles. Max 5 down 1 up. Not much coverage with one tower. I don't expect to see any added anytime soon
I have been waiting for this for a LONG time I'm in Metairie BTW
I had my wife check in Lake Charles - says 4G is working
didn't expect it to come to LA for a couple of years

Does Lake Charles even have sprint 3G? The last time i was there in the summer i could barely get 3G. New Orleans better be next.
It does but experiencing the same issue as others with slow data 200-300kbps down , voice echo on some calls.

Yes Lake Charles has 3G and according to the coverage area - Fort Polk/Leesville has 4G -- all before New Orleans.
Never saw that coming

I would think it would take less time to setup 4g in leesville than in new orleans. Clears getting the smaller cities out the way first.
Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
Anything in Covington? Or Madisonville area?
Lake Charles
Lake Charles got 3g January 27 2011, don't know about 4g. After waiting for years for 3g you would think they would just upgrade the system to 4g this late in the game.
Lake Charles does not have 3g yet. and every time i call i'm told it will be the end of the month since i got my evo when they came out. 4g would be nice but i live in moss bluff just north of lake Charles and work in Sulphur just west of it. Luckily sprint did not put me on a contract like they were supposed to when i got my evo so im just waiting for a better phone with a network that is in my area.
Got 3g in Lake Charles 1/27/11 absolutely positive without a doubt. Now 4g I don't know
4G in new orleans finally!
I try all the time. Living in metairie and working in old metairie I don't get it. For the 1st time yesterday in new orleans I connected on St Charles in between Julia and Girod as well at our condo on julia & baronne 2 blocks away. So could everyone around me with evo's and the samsung one. It worked great!
http://flickr.com/gp/[email protected]/yp328w
The clear 4g map shows 4g alive in new orleans. Its mostly downtown but thats a start.
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.
