...must be rolling out a bunch new cities if we have it...only 20,000 people...U of I is 50 miles away...we'll take it...so far 8.35 is my highest speed test...nice...
Fox Lake Area? they have had 4G for a while now (6mo+) .. its like they had 2 extra 4G towers and dropped them there cuz some exec lives in the area or something. makes no sense.

What definition of "Central Illinois" does Fox Lake fall into?
OP: Where about are you getting 4g? I'm in Kankakee County and seeing squat. I can drive up to Matteson to get 4g signal but that's about it. And on Sprints official map it just shows Chicago and St Louis (and surrounding areas).
EDIT: Checked clearwire.com and there are apparently solo towers in a lot of IL "towns." Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, Charleston... I'll be damned.
...Mattoon,I'll...E.I.U. is in Charleston which is 10 miles...but I'm getting great signal in a concrete house laying in bed, so they must of added to the tower couple Blocks away...amazing though...not sure how we got it this fast...not a complaint though,lol...
no 4g in normal..... not even good 3g the big red V will be rolling lte here by the end of the year to bad i dont like the TB
im in the Elgin area and the map says im able to get 4g at my home address and i have never been able to. I only start to get 4g if i drive east of Randal Rd

my speed test is here

Nut sure how long it's been around, but since I've gotten the phone last Thursday I've had 0 to 2 bars in my house in Alexandria, va.

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.

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.

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.
Why is it that sprint over the years has only put 4g in PARTS of new york. New York is a pretty big state and has many parts. im located on Long Island and theres no 4g at all. so far the only 4g iv seen in new york are very small parts in the city.
Give it some time...my cuzin lives in LI and he has no 4g also...but manhattan is the best for 4g reception everywhere else is kinda shifty with 4g service for now anyway.
I'd love some 4g in Nassau county please!

I can report..
Theres definitely 4G in the Financial District, Midtown West, and a couple of parts of the Bronx. I actually get 4G in my new apartment which was great when I didn't have cable internet yet. I was able to play COD: Black Ops over tether!

yeah thats where i live also, nassau county. The funny thing is, the company i work for OWNS the legal rights for 4g in nassau county. So if phone companies want to put 4g anywhere on nassau county they have to lease the rights for it from my company.

I get good 4G in the large majority of Midtown only... Everywhere else it's either on and off always or just slow as turd.
(This was about 2 weeks ago when I took a break from CM to run Calkulin's, so I don't know if his ROM is a factor or not and I've since gone back to CM so my results are a bit inconclusive.)
Getting 4g right now in LIC.

Im in manhattan and service is sweet.
Sent from my CM7 EVO
I'm in midtown and 4G is horrible anywhere indoors in Manhattan due to the 2.5Ghz frequency and tall buildings.
That made my decision to switch to CM7 (no 4G support) about 100 times easier. I just don't care until they get it together.
I live in Brooklyn and i get full 4G everytime I'm outside... inside i mostly get 1 or 2 bars
Westchester cty
I live/work between Yonkers and White Plains, and my phone rarely drops back to 3g. I've been tethering at a steady 5-6 Mb/s.
-Evo 4G
Basterds!!!! I'm 40 mins west of albany, I'm expecting 4g in the fall of 2192.
I got an email from sprint telling me 4g is now in Corona, CA. So I decided to check the coverage map on clearwire. I'm colorblind so it's hard to tell the exact colors, but the colors appeared to be all over inland riverside and even down to Moreno Valley, indicating the area was covered. When I typed in my zip code at my home in corona and work in moreno valley and it said they were in the area. With all this talk of wimax going away, it appears to have expanded quickly. Last time I checked the map, Wimax was creeping in and surrounding my area, now it's covered, did clear get some extra wimax funding?
yeah i looked on the map and it looks like chino has wimax but for the most part corona does not.
Hmm, Well I won't know for awhile anyway out of town all week. Looks like the are moving quickly becuase it wasn't more then a couple months ago when I checked the map and there wasn't any in corona, I live in north corona right off the 15 and 91, so hopefully thats where the signal is!
That s good news

I live in Placentia, between Anaheim, Yorba Linda, and Fullerton, and I get 4G in all of the cities I just listed. I just found out there was 4G here literally 3 days ago. I got the Clearwire app to check for coverage on a whim seeing as how I'm on CM7 and I had full bars, and bam! 4G!
Been abusing it all week.
WiMax is now available at my house where 3G is barely available.... interesting.
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.
Because I've been noticing that 4G is popping up in different areas without any sort of notification, I was thinking that we could all post here of areas that have 4G but have not been announced to the public.
I've noticed 4G in Norfolk VA in the Ghent area, and near Portsmouth Naval Hospital for starters.
Check http://www.clear.com/coverage for where 4G (WiMAX) access is available. It's not always publicised when new sites are implemented, but they will show up on the map.

I checked that map, it looks pretty good, but I'm not really sure, it is showing areas that should be active 4g locations, but I'm getting nothing in those areas... So really I guess what I was trying to get out of this thread was a place that people can post known active 4g (well at lest known to the poster) locations to help others know if 4g is active near them. A map is nice, but we all know that those mappings can definitely be off.

Understood, the coverage is spotty.
Works pretty good here in Jacksonville,Fl. Pretty big city so it is spotty in some areas though :/

Theres coverage here in Green Bay Wisconsin where i live granted it is very spotty theres still hope!
There is coverage here in Gurnee Illinois but its very spotty. It's funny the clearwire and sprint coverage map shows 4G in/near my house, but I can't connect to it until I drive around 5-6 Blocks then it pops up but soon as you go further down the street its gone.
Ive gotten pretty good coverage here in burbank, ca for about a year. Also had decent coverage when i visited sacramento.

yeah just check clear.com maps. They seem to be updated weekly. The plan is for a bunch of single towers in towns to show the FCC they are using their licenses.
The maps are geared towards the clear devices that have better antennas than the ones crammed into our handsets.
I've had excellent 4g coverage here in Vegas/Henderson for as long as I've had my Evo. I love it

I will be visiting the Lakewood NJ area keenly this weekend, does anyone know if 4g is up in that area?

I received that sprint premier email recently and it said 4g was in my area, sure enough it was NOT! I called sprint and the guy just kept telling me VERY soon. I asked him if there is a ETA or something like that and all he kept saying VERY soon! My zip is 11714.
I live in Roanoke, Va. And we don't have it and probably never will. T-mobile is the only on here with 4g and they have the worst coverage of the big 4...and they don't even have a store here...you have to go to wal-mart or radioshack to buy one of their phones...I hate Virginia...
Kalamazoo, MI has 1 tower near Western MI U campus....can connect to it for a 2nd near portage but it is very limited basically to the westside of town. But will be nice for Football games in the falls as it does cover the stadium.

I can't disagree about VA, I'm actually here from CA, and its like 2 different worlds, but just some advice, AT&T just bought T-mobile, sooooo, if you go with T-mobile, your service is going to get alot worse... Also the 4g in my area was in no way advertised, I just happened to find it, cuz my 4g was on, and all the sudden it connected.

All major (VZ, AT&T, T-Mobile) wireless carriers in Phoenix, AZ (5TH LARGEST CITY IN THE US) are 4G except Sprint. Only about 4 sq. mi of 4G in the whole metro/valley area. SAD!
Says that I am supposed to have coverage in NW Austin, TX but only get 1 bar or so.. and only if i'm outside. No coverage in buildings
Sprint 4g in Hampton Roads!
Yes, I live near W. Mercury Blvd. Near Jefferson Ave. in Southern Virginia (Newport News, Va.) and I get a pretty good 4G signal. But once I leave that area......let's say 1 to 2 miles is goes back to 3G. Something is going on in the area. Hopefully all will be online fully in the coming weeks!
