same except in my house
route 7 runs past my street
on my street i dont have any but on route 7 i have signal its weird

In Clarendon and Courthouse neighborhoods of Arlington I get about 2mbps...
Not particularly spectacular, but the high speeds and faster phone makes it way faster than my iPhone 3G.

Virginia has 4G before Colorado? What is wrong with this picture.............

I live in herndon and I get 1 to2 bars averaging 2+ mbps not spectacular but faster then ATT.

Northern Virginia -- which is essentially a branch of Washington, D.C. There is nothing wrong with this picture

The signal strength is really just your strength to the tower, not your connection to the internet, just FYI I have had higher speeds with 1-2 bars than with a full signal. Anyway there are some spots in Houston, TX near where I work that I can get ~8-10Mbps down on, but I usually average about half that. Here are some pics, also btw a download test is a bit more accurate than those "speed tests" they can lie to you sometimes.

Yup. Northern VA, Richmond, Hampton Roads >>>> Colorado . We don't have any 4G here in Hampton Roads that I know of yet (no Evo til Monday), but there is a new Clearwire antenna/tower near my girlfriends house. I hope there are many more of those to come and soon.

I want them to put one in in Springfield. That's where my office is and 4G would be awesome!

There's definitely 4G at Franconia Springfield Metro Station in Virginia...and at the Telegraph Road Gate to Fort Belvoir...

Apparently there are two antennas live in downtown Denver and others aren't live but have been spotted (including on the Sprint call center in the tech center) so its coming here too very shortly.

That's good to hear. I wish Sprint would give us a real roadmap of their 4G rollout. There's no point in hiding it when people know the towers are there and are getting 4G signals.

4 bars in parts of richmond

I have been able to get WiMAX in Manassas on 234 near the Barnes and Noble. Also, just up the road in Centreville at 66 & 28. Good thing too because in both or those areas the 3G service is terrible. This is one main reason holding me back from upgrading to the Evo LTE or the Galaxy SIII since I will no longer have 4G.

4G in Pittsburgh

Noticed in the strip district, downtown and north side today that 4G is on in Pittsburgh. Was pulling 3.5-4 down, 1 up. Still limited deployment in the city but they must be getting ready for the full rollout.

NICE...i wonder how far north when 4g is fully deployed that it will work. I really doubt it will reach all the way up to the Wexford or Cranberry

I also heard rumors of 4g on in Monroeville... so suburbs on major roadways hopefully will get 4g. The farthest north that I noticed 4g active on 279 was the Hazlett/Venture exit.

I live just outside of the city in Sharpsburg and I have 4g turned on now and not getting any signal.

I tried the 4g while driving through the city this morning and no go. I guess it was only on Saturday for testing. Will keep watching the 4g icon though.

4g was definitely on last week in Monroeville. Hopefully it will make its way around town including the South Hills!

While driving through downtown around 5pm, I was able to pick up 4G. However, it could never finish connecting. It would say scanning, connecting, authenticating, obtaining IP address, then flash something very quickly (perhaps "disconnected") before starting the cycle over. Not sure if it's an issue with my phone or just issues with the 4G since they're obviously still testing it.

I'm getting the same here. It keeps finding a signal, but can't do anything with it. In any case, it's exciting.

Really exciting but doubt I will see it here weirton,wc we usually get what Pittsburgh gets but in this case think we will be too far

I don't know people. I'm out here in Turtle Creek, basically in a stones throw from Monroeville Mall and I'm not even picking up a 4g signal at all. Is there anyone out here who can confirm a signal?

I have not been able to connect to 4g downtown since Saturday. Was probably only on for testing. Though I do get signal alerts when driving through the city. I'll be giving it another try this weekend to see if the 4g is back on downtown. No idea about monroeville or turtle creek.

just in monroeville today for dinner. the duck pond there was signal. by the bmw dealer, by the mall, by target, on the parkway from penn hills exit to the monroeville exits(turnpike). i couldnt connect at all. my phone is rooted and been flashed many times so i thought my 4g was broke but my 2 kids and wife have the evo (UNTOUCHED) and they couldnt connect either so it must be not ready yet. heres to hoping it gets better tomorrow. lol
oh and forgot was in turtle creek today for kids dentist appointment and right by the citizens bank my phone picked up signal but couldnt connect

Good info guys. Well lets hope turn the switch on everywhere in August.

Sounds good, I wizards at BestBuy today by the mall, but didn't think to try. Well 2morrows a new day!

I spoke to a Sprint rep yesterday. She said that the appearance of the signal was a side effect of them testing the market, but she couldn't find anything on an anticipated rollout date yet. So she recommended to keep the 4G radio off for the time being, and to check back every now and again and watch the websites to see when it would be officially deployed. I was hoping it'd be deployed near this Froyo rollout, but apparently it's not to be.

By the Monroeville Mall again today, and i actually did pick up the 4 g signal. But like earlier stated it would connect to Sprint and then kick me out and start over. Good sign people, good sign!

4g cupertino, ca -> 7512kpbs

I did a "speedtest" and reached 7512kbps. Hope they cover the whole bay area soon.

ok...........

Sunnyvale... 8309 mbps I'm with u my boy. Waiting for bay to be covered....
Seems like a tower is on valco mall... or the sprint store on Lawrence ....

that's the "innovation network", which is basically a freebie so that the bigtime nerds can play with 4g, but it's the only thing running near the bay area for now.
SF people might be very happy by the end of the year, though.

Whatever it is.... it seems to be growing. Notice much more coverage heading toward San Jose... can't wait for my house to be covered....

pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee san francisco

sweet. I'm a Cupertino humanoid.
Except at my house (near MV High) when I active 4G is just sits in scanning mode. I'm getting the expected crappy 3G down/ up (of less than 1mbps each way)

Ohhhhh, the irony

Most likely they wanted to start in an area of lower population density for 4g devices then converge towards san francisco, kinda like wading across the shallow end before trying the deep end.

Yeah, the towers are definitely going up weekly in the bay, and we'll have full service by October/November/December at the latest.

4G in Toledo

4G is now in Toledo! Hopefully soon they expand to the surrounding suburbs.

Excellent glad to hear it, welcome to 4G.

I live in Clyde, about 40 mins away. I am pumped to try this out. Where exactly in Toledo have you experienced this? I know that in Columbus, 4g was only available near Polaris. I really hope 4g makes it way east to me, even if it does suck my battery more than one of those pale, glittery vampires from Twilight.

Ok, where is a cool place in the 4g coverage area I can go to hang out for a while and test the 4g on my phone? I'm SE Michigan and Toledo is the closest I have to a place with 4g, and I am starting to become obsessed with testing it out
Looking for something off 75 before the 475 interchange where I can occupy myself for a couple hours to test it out

4g in Youngstown Ohio
4g is now live in Youngstown Ohio. Anybody else notice?

Its live in downtown I believe. Check clearwire's map tho to be sure. Watch a Walleyes game or go to the restaurants that aren't closed yet on the docks.

Im originally from toledo and coverage actually looks spotty downtown by the water. If I were you id start at westfield shopping town off 475/talmadge even if the map doesn't show it there, and proceed with caution as you travel toward downtown on monroe, maybe try again near westgate mall ( best buy monroe/secor or sears or home depot by central/secor) but lock your doors if you end up near monroe and detroit

I currently live in West Toledo (Monroe/Douglas area) and I'm not able to get a 4G connection. I work downtown, so I will try when I go into the office tomorrow.

Actually just south of homewood and hillcrest is willys park which might be best for you, right off I-75 and wide open area in the center of coverage, and a safe area compared to a lot of the coverage area.
Or, maybe the toledo hospital in case you get shot (kidding).
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

If I remember correctly its all based around the new arenas which would be smart.
Edit: Looking at the map right now, it seems that spans from Dorr Street to as far north as Eleanor but coverage is sparse. It does seem to be around the new arenas though Right around Michigan Street and Erie Street. Most of Bancroft and Monroe is covered downtown. As is Detroit. Maybe I'll have to flash over to CM 6.2.1 Alpha and test it out when I go to another Walleye game.
Edit 2: Looks like only the Huntington Center is covered. Fifth Third is just out of range. At least thats what the map says.
Sent from my Evo powered by MIUI

I was able to pick up the signal on my commute to work going 475 east to 75 south. I connected to Sprint's 4G somewhere between the Detroit Ave exit and the Collingwood exit, with 1 or 2 bars as I headed downtown. Once downtown on Washington Ave, my signal fluctuated between 0 and 1 bar, and was basically lost once I got to Summit St.

I can confirm 4g in Toledo. I work near Dura and N. Detroit Ave and got 4g Connection.

Where are you guys getting the map from? Sprints site?
I live near Central/Douglas, and no 4g here yet. I'm surprised its working downtown, as Toledo wasn't supposed to get it til late this year. Maybe they are just testing it.

Check the clear.com coverage map since that is the same as sprint wimax. You might have to zoom in to the right level and wait for the green transparent overlay to load.

I cannot believe that Sprint puts 4G service in a run down town like Toledo and Phoenix still hasn't had 4G turned on yet.

I was also wondering what map you were looking at, thanks for that. I went ahead and downloaded their "Got Clear?" App from the market.
There's a wider range than I anticipated. Of course my house is just out of range, but what I experienced this morning on my way into the office seems to correspond with the map coverage.

GA users...4g?

I'm in warner Robinson (mid ga) and appear to have 4g now. Speed test is around 5mbps but doesn't seem faster. Weird. Can anyone confirm this?

I'd like to know about this, I'm not in that area but will be soon!

http://clear.com/coverage
Looks like your in the testing phase and they are starting to roll out. Enjoy!

Yeah, it doesn't look like it's perfected yet in my area...in Atlanta 4g is amazing. Still sketchy even though I'm connected and getting upwards of 3mbps, it doesn't seem completely stable yet. Great news for us though. Hopefully testing will roll into "getting **** done" lol

usually once the dark green gets on the map its 'official' and you will be able to actually connect indoors

This actually pisses me off somewhat. Looking at the map theyre installing in Macon, Warner Robins and LaGrange. LaGrange has a population of what, 50K? But they cant fill in the million gaps in coverage in Atlanta???

I agree. Atl is hit or miss with 4g coverage. Some spots, I've hit 11 mbs though. Inside its another story.

I'm just dumbfounded that Augusta doesn't have Sprint 4G yet. Hell, we just finally got T-Mobile HSPA+.

I was actually at the sprint store off of Russell Parkway this weekend getting my wife a new phone and asked about 4g. Like most people have said, they are definitely in a test phase right now, with no official announcement. The lady i talked to did say some areas have 4g coverage. I turn on my EVO's 4g in the store and got 7mbs download speed versus 1mb 3g. Unfortunately i'm never on that side of town and I don't get coverage at my house south by HWY96.

I get pretty descent 4g speeds down in Henry Co. On average of 6-8mbps. I was a little surprised 4G worked at my house but it does..

Agreed. I'd like to see 4G there and service the nearby Fort Gordon area.

I live in Woodstock and never turn on 4G. Its not worth it. half the time it is searching for a signal.

damn, i keep trying to get 4g different places and haven't had any luck since being at the sprint store...

Its also around the sandy run and moody road area. Also around Macon GA. I caught it near vineville and hardeman area recently.

I'm in Canton as well. I only get 4g on 575 starting at exit 11 going south but it's hit or miss like everyone else.
