I'm located in NYC and I been turning on the 4G on and off all weekend in different areas (Bronx, Brooklyn, now Long Island City (in Queens)) and I have a 4G connection. Did a speedtest.net test (app in marketplace) and below are my results...
1st Test -
Down: 2.93 Mbps
Up: .96 Mbps
2nd Test -
Down: 1.55 Mbps
Up: .86 Mbps
3rd Test -
Down: 1.78 Mbps
Up: .96 Mbps
All other NYCers test your 4G availability and report back.
They are testing in the NYC area
About time, doesn't effect me though, lol
Too bad you don't get the full 3Mbps (cap) yet.
I am down on 27th street and got nada...
i'm at 38th and 5th and not picking up a 4g signal.
Down on 28th and Park Ave. and nothing yet. Just scanning...
i'm in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn and don't pick up a network.
Nothing in bensonhurst
Nothing in Financial district...
nothing in bensonhurst brooklyn :-(
Nothing in Jackson Heights / East Elmhurst
nothing in Midwood Brooklyn
I'm in Center City Philadelphia and the record for me so far is 4.9mb/s. I am normally in the 3.8-4.2 area so far. At work outside of Philadelphia I'm only getting 2.2
im on 34 st and 5th ave no 4g here
Also in Jackson Hts. (which incidentally is not too far from LIC where the OP described 4g goodness) and nothing here as of now.
Hey guys
Good news, I happened to be around 59th St and Madison Av and I picked a full 4G from Sprint, however it kept dropping off. I guess they were testing the area. I was working around there for 2 hrs and kept getting the 4G available in this area. I connected for like 30 Secs but then it dropped
Hurray Sprint
How does the 4G network alert work? Sound? Notifications bar only?
thanks
Nothing in Union Square or in Brooklyn Heights. At least today .

You can set it to a Not.. bar under the 4G settings.
Isn't nyc slated for the end of the year? How come you picked up a usable 4g signal anyway?

I don't see 4G coverage for NY yet at:
http://shop.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/4G_coverage_popup.shtml
Have you run speedtests?
Still not getting any 4G in East Elmhurst/ Jackson Heights area
No 4G in Brooklyn
I was in Manhattan this eve and it was working when I posted this thread. I am in east elmhurst now and its not working I had 3 bars on queens boro bridge. I'll try again today when I goto Manhattan.
I think they had it on at night for testing purpose. YouTube was loading in a snap.
nothing at 38th and 5th in manhattan
Nothing at Exchange Place in Jersey City (same towers as downtown Manhattan).
Nothing here
No 4g on 12th and broadway.
Here is the proof. Today!

If you want to know when 4g will be in your area just check with Clear Wireless. Their high speed wireless is bought from sprint wimax according to the Sprint near me in Philadelphia.
How come no one else is picking it up just confirmed it works on queens blvd until bqe.
Lately there have been a lot of people reporting that they have 4g in areas not listed in sprints 4g coverage map. So i want all of you people who do get 4g signal to put what city and state you get 4g in, along with the average speed you get, that way all someone could stumble across this thread see the list and say, "oh man theres 4g there! yay!"
So let me start
I get 3 bars of 4g signal in Anaheim, CA around the knotts berry farm area.
And then ill take yours guys info and put here
4g Coverage
Anaheim, CA (5 down/2.5 up)
San Jose, CA (5 down/2.5 up)
Nampa/Boise, ID (Full speed at sprint store, 2.5 down / 1 up everywhere else)
Lexington, NC (5 down/2.5 up)
Richmond, VA (5 down/2 up)
San Jose, ca full bars 5/2.5
richmond, va
5/2
I get 4G in Nampa/Boise, ID. I get 4G speeds when I'm in the sprint store, other than that, I get 4G speeds that are half the speed of 3G speeds, and the 3G speeds are getting pretty damn close to being dial up speed around here. It really is quite ****ty.
How are you guys getting above 1mbps on upload? I thought Sprint/Clear had capped the upload at 1mbps.

I have no idea about the speeds. I was driving around the whole city(san jose, ca) with my applefanboy friend and i wanted to show off the phone and when he turned the 4g on it got signal. We opened the speedtester and bammm he stop talking about apple stuff.
I thought san jose was on the list for cities coming soon, but this was a fast launch unless is only testing phase.
Lexington,nc 5/2.5
They launched 4G here in Syracuse, NY almost a month ago.
I can't test the speed right now because I live right in the middle of a gap in the 4G coverage, but when out in areas with coverage I was getting speeds just a little faster than 3G in the same area.
Coverage here is horrible, even in the better 4G spots shown on the map I get a poor signal. I've never been able to get over one bar, and that one bar usually drops fast.
EDIT: Was in a 4G area today with a decent signal and got 1.99 Mbps down, and 0.8 Mbps up.
Nashville, TN and several of the surrounding areas.
First off, stop using the speedtest.net app to test speed, it is not accurate! Either use the flash speedtest.net or the HTML testmy.net if you want an accurate reading.
Second.
Denver - Broomfield around Interlocken and at Invesco field and a good 5 mile stretch down the highway.
All of downtown Seattle has excellent 4G
Tacoma, WA has great 4G
Bremerton, WA and Silverdale, WA has great 4G
I get 4G on the Northeast Corridor (Amtrak from NYC to Philly) from Elizabeth to Rahway, NJ.

LOL, I saw that there was 4G during a Rockies game a month ago. My 3G stopped working, (I think the network was overtaxed during the game), and I happened to try 4G and was able to continue using data. Great speed too. Never got around to testing it though...
Also, Tri-Cities (Pasco, WA) has 4G and its official too.
Winston Salem, NC 4./1
Greensboro, NC 3.5/1
High Point, NC 4/1.5
King of Prussia, PA - 3/1.5
Philadelphia, PA - 4/1.7
Where in Richmond are you getting 5 down? I can only get about 3 down max downtown and in the Fan.
I got pretty decent coverage in Chicago.

I live in the same neighbor hood as you and I'm getting 4g as we speak. Petty cool. The only problem is I can't run cyanogen's rom anymore if I want to use 4g. Bummer.
CM6 / Snap Powered
I live on the east side and nothing over here yet. Does anyone know how large the coverage area will be?
I also got a 4G signal in Valley View on my way to work this morning also. I did a couple of speed tests and here are the results:
Valley View (Valley View Bridge) : 7963 kbps download, 1011 kbps upload
North Olmsted (Great Northern Mall) : 8647 kbps download, 974 kbps upload
I am in Bedford Heights and not picking up any 4g signal.

Stupid question, but how do you know when you are getting a 4G signal?
Does the "3G" in the status bar change to "4G"?
Select menu, next select settings, then select wireless and networks. Check the option to turn on 4g, then select manage 4g settings. Select notify me when 4g is available. That will set the phone to constantly scan for 4g.when it picks up 4g there will be a notification on the top status bar.then it should automatically connect and show a 4g icon up top.

FYI
"Clearwire said customers may begin to find WiMAX coverage in portions of San Francisco; Tampa, Miami, and Orlando, Fla.; Nashville; Denver; Minneapolis; Cincinnati; Cleveland; and Pittsburgh ahead of official market launches in those cities. However, the carrier has not yet begun to market the offering in those areas." via rcrwireless
I just realized its up in Cleveland too. Got a good signal in Westlake and Bay Village. Check out the app Sensorly in the market, it will show you if and where there is 4G in your area. That's how I found it in Cleveland.

yeah it works all up and down east 55th and downtown also...
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.

when i'm in Boston i average 10mbps on my Evo, next time i go i'll have my Shift and will be able to compare the two
Very cool. I plan on doing a side by side with his Evo.

i got 7000kbps down and 1100kbps up today up here in minnesota the chicago speedtest server is the fastest i've come across. great ping times.
I got 9.5Mbps upload in Rochester. Very impressive.
Anyone in Nashville? I travel there sometimes.

Rochester, NY or Rochester, MN?
Did a couple of test today. 5500 kbps at one point this morning. 9500ish around noon. 1000-1100 kbps up.
These were in LA.
This morning I got 5500 kbps down and 1100 up in Alexandria VA.
I'm Shifting on 4G (edited for Brando!)

I would say that's in NY. I'm pretty certain there's no 4G in Rochester, MN.
I'm heading up to the Twin Cities tomorrow, so I'll have to try out the 4G and see what kind of speeds I get
I hit 10.28 dl and .99 ul in Orange County today with full 4G bars.

+1. Sprinkle some of that 4G over Northern San Diego/La Jolla too. UCSD needs some 4G lovin (;
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.
