I get 4g in ______ (4g coverage thread)

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.

Speedtest results - 4g

I'm curious to see how fast the 4g networks across the country are.
There is a good Speedtest.net app in the marketplace that's free to use for this.
Please post your results along with your location so we can compare.
Speedtest results: 8461kbps down, 1080kbps up
Location: Bannockburn, IL
I wasn't expecting that high of download speeds! I had 2/3 bars of 4g.
edit: Just tested wifi tethering with these speeds, and i got 1.14mbps down, .96mbps up w/ 96ms ping.

This wasn't my fastest but it's apparently the only one I got a screenshot of. I was in Atlanta last weekend.
Also some of those tests were 3G to show my friends. The top one I know for sure is 4G.

The upload is obviously capped for 4G as well.

Yeah, I got max of 7.4 down today (same capped upload). I was in the car with my girlfriend driving up US1 between Oakland Park and Commercial in Ft. Lauderdale. So weird that the only place that has 4G there (goes a bit north of where I said) is just that small patch, maybe 2-3 towers max. I finally got a taste of 4G since I have none where I live and its very nice.

but we know 4g is capped to 1mb. thats a known issue and frankly not a big deal for me, my home dsl is like that as well. I'm in deerfield beach, maybe I'll drive down there this afternoon and test it out. supposedly according to 4g mapviewer there is 4g on 595 at the university drive exit. that is where I work but i tried it 3 days in a row and no 4g.

i just tried it on us1 on commercial blvd. some speeds in the 2mb and 3mb range and a number in the 5 and 6 mb range. highest I think was 6.4. I was disappointed I couldn't break 7, but still that was pretty good. 1meg upload cap as expected but thats sprint capping. I read they might uncap that eventually.

Yeah, I know of the 1mb upload cap... it can go much higher. I don't care too much. I don't like that the 3g speeds are capped. They are no where near what I get on my hero. It does everything faster, including loading pages on 3g so its not a biggie unless I want to download a file from dropbox.

Just picked up an epic today, while i like the phone, i gotta say im dissapointed in sprints 3g and 4g speeds.
Here in Kansas city on my epic i get an avg of 1mbs up on 3g and an avg of 3.5mbs on 4g.
On my HD2 running 2.2 And Nexus One i get an avg of 4.5mbs. Seen it as high as 5.5mbs on Tmobile.

[Q] Extreme 4g slowness - Fort Worth, TX

Is anybody experiencing pathetic download speeds on 4g? I've been getting 128 kbps down the past two days (prior to this speeds were excellent). Upload speeds are good, so i'm inclined to think that this is a local issue? Any ideas?
I'm using AvaV9 with the latest radios.

Well I dont turn on 4g often but yes very slow and not reliable in North Richland Hills....I am normally in Dallas during the day where i only max between 3-5mps..At night i connect to wifi....My opinion, it waste battery and only good if your outside in our area/ regular 3g is always reliable 512kbps up and down

my friend is getting about 10mb/sec.
Although clear has been acting up. Been extremely slow the past week.

I am in slc utah but have been having the same issues. 4G download speeds are very slow off and on but upload speeds are still at standard 1 mb. I'm still trying to figure this one out....

shoo, in Richardson (just a little outside of Dallas) I get 2 mb down at home but 10 mb down at my school..
Edit: I take that back, I tested that like a couple of months ago, after posting that comment I went back and tested my 4G at my school...I was gettin a little under 100kb down and 3mb up. That dont make no sense.
Edit2: Ok, what the hell goin on here? I get home where I have 4g, but no bars, and Im pulling 1mb down...haha this 4g is playing with my emotions!

I am seeing the same thing in Frisco, Dallas, Plano and Carrollton although... It is VERY hit and miss. From my office I typically get 3-5mbps, it seems that here recently something has happened and there are times when I get less than 100k. Are any of you guys using an EVO? I've also noticed that with the 4G turned on the CPU goes to 100% sometimes (haven't been able to replicate with 4G off.)
Boss has EVO, wife has EVO and we all see the exact same thing...

Same thing happening here in vegas 500 down and 1 or more up

I'm in the Mid-Cities area, Euless to be more specific. I just got 6mb down and almost 1mb up. Maybe it was being worked on or something today. Anyone want to verify that it's good again?

In Fremont, near SF, I've never had a problem with my 4g. Even with just 0-1bar of 4g, it's always been solid and consistent, around 8mbps down

Yea, I had a peice of paper on my door this morning saying 4g tour is up. So I decided to try 4g again and now on I'm getting 5mbps down and 2 up. Yesterday I posted up above in this thread with horrible speed. North Richland Hills/ Ft worth

damn im gladd finally saw this ive been trippin thought i jacked my wimax yes two days ive heatrd of a down load cap coming but lower than three g and i was getting 12m day before im calling in morn i got another bone to pick see what gifts a little *****in gets post info this thread
by friday

Anybody consider the elevated solar activity since sunday as a possible cause of the current issues? I know my cable has been pixelating, and my home internet has been intermittant. Just something to think about.
Also I have never seen speeds as fast as you guys get on my EVO. Of course I run CM6 so I only get 3g but I have never had speeds above 1mbps usually alot less. Oh and I'm in the North Fort Worth/North Richland Hills/Haltom City area.

My 4g speeds are back to normal.

Have been getting terrible speeds all week long in Downtown Dallas. Both 4g and 3G have been very slow.

yo
my 4g speed hits 10-11mb/s on average right here in fort worth, right around the 820/35 area and pretty much up and down 820, all the way to jackborrow (sp)?
haven't tried downtown area yet but ill test it out and let ya know

Mine is very hit and miss the last few days. I will have periods of good speed, then it slows to a crawl. With tethered downloading I especially notice an initial burst of speed, then at times it slows to 10kb/sec =(.

Well i just found this snippet from some article
Clearwire told Electronista:
Throtting is based on the current utilization for each cell tower, and many low-use towers do not throttle speeds at all. For high-use towers, throttling occurs during peak-use times.
A customer’s maximum speed is based on the number of gigabytes of data transferred in the past seven days and the download speeds for the past 15 minutes. Speeds are recalculated every 15 minutes, at which point a throttled customer will be bumped up to a higher speed. Rather than implementing one speed for throttling, the calculations will move customers between 48 different speed brackets.
The worst offenders using peer-to-peer software on Clearwire’s network may face repeated throttling.

Seems to fit my symptoms like a glove. Bums me the **** out too, because when im throttled I might as well be on dial up.

[Q] Hspa+ deployed?

My phone's speed through the speedtest.net app at my home got better yesterday. A LOT better. I'm now reliably getting 3.5Mbits minimum, and got over 5 (5.11 was highest) 3 times. The ping is also good, ~125ms. I can find no explanation for these great scores other than "4"g finally being deployed. Anyone else getting better results?
For the record, the best score I ever got at home before this was 2.2Mbits.
upload still sucks... 300Kbits

nothing has changed for me..still paltry download and embarrassing upload.

Are you sure that you weren't accidentally connected to wifi? Well, then again, that wouldn't explain the 300kbps

my area nw of detroit is hit or miss. sometimes i see 5mb speeds while other times i can barely break 400kb.
overall, my atrix works much better/fasterr than my att n1...

I was getting 2.5-3.0 Mbps when I got it and I live in a very small city. Just tested right now and got 3.5 Mbps and then 3.1 Mbps.

You can see the 4G coverage map at att.com/network
So far I see 4G released in greater Los Angeles, Bay area, "northern California" (Santa Rosa area), greater Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Buffalo, Providence (RI), Boston, Baltimore, Charlotte, and Puerto Rico.

I'm about an hour and change away from boston, and I see decent speeds. Faster than my verizon phone.
I'll be in boston next weekend for pax east, I'm pretty excited to see what kind of speeds I'm going to get.

I've always gotten 3mbs down and 300kbs up.

For the record, I was in Santa Rosa, CA (one of their claimed rolled-out locations) for the past week. When downtown, I had great speeds. If you travel 1-2 miles away from downtown, coverage is hit or miss.
I was there for a week testing it and couldn't have been more frustrated. Constantly dropped calls because it kept switching between networks. I wanted a way to force it to stay on Edge while I was there so I could competently conduct business, but both AT&T and Motorola assured me that there was no way to force it to stay on Edge, as that feature was purposely disabled in the phone's settings.
My iPhone had that function and it came in handy when in bad areas. WTF?!
[edit]
Also, these speed tests in Vancouver, WA (Portland metro area) were tested now. Also, I spoke to 3 AT&T reps + 4 Motorola reps while I was in Santa Rosa, CA. As if it matters, but tracking the help from these companies is important at this stage I think

I noticed the same thing this morning. Im getting 4Mbps+ down, but still .3 up. Im just outside Chicago
Sent from my Atrix

Maybe this is a good sign of things to come?

I can confirm that at the moment I am getting 3.4Mbps and that with 4 bars not 5 but yeah the upload still sucks

Huh. If this really has been deployed, maybe I should replace my Cingular SIM...

Just had 2 bars, ~200ms 3.4 down, .39 up

I'm using the wireless tethering mod in the Dev section. The one where you need the SQLite editor and root explorer.
EDIT: I actually hit 4.06 down, and 0.95 up Haven't hit those speeds since then, but my downloads are looking far better (2 mbps+ down, a little more than .3 up) compared to when I got the phone. (Was lucky to hit 1.5 mbps down, and .2 up)

FWIW, I was sitting in Chicago's Midway airport yesterday (remember, Chicago is a "4G" city based on ATT's map). Well, I was consistently hitting 4.0 - 4.5 Mbps down and 300 kbps up while in Chicago on my Atrix. Latency was around 120 ms IIRC. This was very promising to see.
This morning, I'm back to ~2 Mbps down and ~150 kbps up in Denver (where "4G" is not deployed)

yeah, I agree. I want the speeds that I had on my Nexus One, but I'm just going to be patient and see if they get their act together with this phone. I love this phone regardless.

4g in Lincoln, Ne!

Picked up some 4g yesterday north of the university. It hits the wall at 2.2 mbps. Is this going to be lifted once it's official?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Check out clear.com/coverage for a map of what is on. According to another poster with inside info, all these random towers popping on are "Spectrum Holding" towers and may or may not be full powered.

According to clear.com Lincoln is "coming soon". I drove around a bit and I think there is more than one tower. Even when I get full bars it stalls out at 2.2 mbps.

its about freaking damn time, hello fellow lincolnite

I wonder if they will bump it up a bit. I am in Omaha and there are very few parts in the eastern part of the city that actually will hold a signal. But I went over to Council Bluffs and was getting speeds of 6-7 MB DL.

I'm also live in midtown Omaha. IV never connected to 4g anywhere in the city. Glad to hear someone has. Ill definitely drive over to counciltucky and check it out. Go Huskers!

I can connect downtown but i can only get 1 line of signal, even though the speeds are way faster than 3g. hope they up it soon to cover most of the city

Congrats. I'm in Louisville, KY, and just turned my 4G on this morning and got one speed test of 7700 kbps down / 1008 kbps up when I held the phone against the window of my office! Otherwise it's more like 3000 / 500. I'm about to take a walk for lunch and see what kind of speeds I can get in the open.
We have some big events coming up over the next few weeks (Kentucky Derby Festival), so maybe they're trying to get it rolled out for that. I can only hope!

I still can't get more than 2.2 mbps. If anyone in lincoln is able to go faster than that post it up.

We have the one tower here in town. I get about 7 megs down. But its only the one tower down my the Devany Center so don't expect the whole city to be covered since it seems that clear really isnt expanding as fast as we would like. I don't have it were i live but, I saw it on the clear map a couple of months ago and had to check it out.
