4g is (not) officially in Springfield, MO!! Ever since I noticed Nixa and Ozark having 4g on the clear coverage map, I've been turning mine on to check daily. Today, I noticed Republic shows coverage on the map. Even though Springfield still shows no coverage, it's live and well around downtown. Indoors, I was averaging 5-6Mb down.. 8.5Mb being my fastest test so far. Still no coverage at my house, but at least I have great signal at work.. ~2 miles east of downtown.
Happy days...
I was just there two weeks ago and nothing... But the 3G speeds were better than in Chicago so I wasn't complaining. Good to know the next time I am there I can get some 4G action.

just got from my widget new 3g coverage coming by quarter. third quarter for me buffalo ny YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yay, Corona, CA. It's about damn time too. Although, if I drive barely 5 miles west I get 3g and also get 3G at my workplace which is in Los Angeles county. It's only at my house where I only get Edge connection.
edit: 3rd quarter, so that means I will be getting 3g in my city sometime between June and September, nice...looks like I will no longer have to turn on wifi when I get home.
Damn this 3g thing sucks (lack of).
If I go the nyc The speed is beautiful. In westchester too. I get to Stamford and get a weak signal by UBS and nothing anywhere else. In norwalk, I get a 3g sinal once in a blue. random times in the evening. And when I realize it the speeds are horrible. Damn T mo. I know you can dish out the signal...Hurry/
I waited so long, but 3Q for CT seems so far away.
When they add 3G coverage to a city how big of a radius is effected? I'm about 40 miles from Manchester, NH and 50 miles from Portland, ME (both second quarter upgrades according to the link). I know those distances are quite large but using the Boston 3G as a reference on Tmobile's coverage checker (which is currently down) it covers a pretty wide span.
Will I notice a difference?
There is a possibility youll see a difference, just depends on location i.e living in a Valley etc, im not overly familiar with the US topography as i only know the tourist destinations of Florida, California and Vegas Baby!!
Im from England,, where Bump mapping was something Cartographers used to do to their wives
all i can say is im with 3G and i live about 40 miles from Manchester (UK) and 15 Miles from Sheffield (UK) so where ever there is a big City, for me there is 3G
Its good to hear 3G is rolling out for you!

Cool, it's reasonably flat between me and Manchester NH so finger's crossed.
I'm from Blighty myself by the way.
None in Columbus Yet
So, it says Q2 for Columbus, OH and I'm yet to get any. I wonder just how reliable that list is.

Where are you from? I'm moving back to Manchester in a month, I'm excited about 3g . I live in Nashua now and there's no 3g till around Lowell and south and it's blotchy. As it is in Manchester Edge is blotchy and at my moms house I only get gprs, but near Elm street and east I get Edge. I was working in Beverly mass and I get some 3.5g out there. 2nd quarter is april - june correct? So I should be getting 3g real soon.
There were quite a few blind spots in the 3G network in the Minneapolis/St Paul (Minnesota) northern suburbs, but this past Tuesday, T-Mobile turned on their new 3G towers. It's great to have 3G at work now, and I can actually do some webbrowsing on my breaks.

Nice! I can't wait for my city to get it. I'm sick of toggling on wifi when I get home.

I'm in Dover and I'm crawling along on GPRS except when I hook into WiFi.
Hi,
I'd love to see 4G work on my phone once, just for kicks, but I live in NJ. Am I correct to assume there is NO WHERE in NJ that has 4G coverage? Just Philadelphia, PA?
I hope in the coming year they open up coverage for at least the Northeastern Corridor (busiest daily train route in the world), because I live right along it.
-TM
I checked Clear's coverage map, and it seems Trenton is covered. I haven't tested myself to find out.
http://www.clear.com/coverage
edit: or rather parts of it
thanks, i didn't know about that map. i go to lawrenceville from time to time, so hopefully that area will get 4G coverage soon. i'm shocked that places like Bristol and Levittown are already well covered.
I'm in Voorhees right now and have had 4G come up here and there though we are covered on the map. In Pennsauken (just a few miles out of Philly) I had 4g pretty strong outside but once I went in the house, it was gone.
Hopefully it will get stronger soon...
i get it in lawnside, somerdale, magnolia, mapleshade ect.. spotty but pretty good at times.
in maple shade for sure i have 4g, but i dont keep it on cuz of the battery drain...
yea I was just looking at my phone and i notice something activate on my phone and it was my 4G I really have to try this out

saw 4G in Germantown and Gaithersburg
I was in DC last week and had 4g coverage (it was spotty). The best coverage was at Nationals Park.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I get 4G outside my job in Greenbelt. Don't have anything at home in Clinton though.
Yea I think they just testing it out
I have actually picked up full 4g signal all around the beltway. Gaithersburg, Rockville, Bethesda, Laurel, College Park, Bowie, NW Washington. Randallstown, Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
Since I got my phone June 4th I have had 4G in Loudoun County (Northern VA) about 30mins outside of DC (next to Dulles Airport).
I am now getting 4G in some parts of McLean, Tysons Corner and Arlington. Haven't seen amazing speeds yet (around 2000kbps compared to a max of 1500kbps or so that I've managed to get under 3G).
Did they turn something on though? I previously wasn't able to get 4G at all in some of these areas.
I was able to connect to 4G in Greenbelt (close to the Sprint store) but it was spotty. Also was connected driving on University Blvd by Langley Park. Noticed 4G coverage in Bethesda as well, but couldn't connect or stay connected long enough to actually use it.
I just got my first 4G signal in Falls Church, in my back yard no less. Signal quality: poor, several 404s on sites that should have been there, but no time for extensive testing right now.
I also get 3 bars in Severn area, Hanover\odenton 1-2 bars

I'm in LoCo too (about 15 minutes from Dulles) and have no 4G coverage
congrats to u guys when u get 4G! let me know how it is!
Got full signal in arlington.
3 bar @ gaithersburg. 3.5mb/s down and 1mb/s up.
No 4G in North Bethesda, no 4G downtown, no 4G in Metro.
Today my friend texted me telling me we had 4G service, I was at another friend's house a few blocks from mine and turned it on to find 4G signal. Very weak, and it didn't run particularly well, but it was there. Then I went to pick up another friend who lives at a greater elevation, and for a little while I picked up 2 bars and tried loading the eiffel tower site and it loaded insanely fast, much faster then when I'm on 3G. Now I'm back home, and unfortunately can't pick up 4G. I live in Burbank, CA. Wondering if it rolled out all throughout LA? Anyone else picking up anything in the area?
I don't live in LA, I live in OC, but I've been up to LA a couple times and I have turned on my 4G radio and have got 1-2 bars of 4G signal. I didn't test it out too extensively though.
There is limited WiMax services in downtown area. I had a mapped out Google Map somewhere.
Anyway it works good when you are elevated and in downtown. Speed is nice as noted by OP.
Let's hope they extend the coverage soon.

4g is working in parts of WLA and Downtown.
Check out Map Viewer in the market and you can filter the map by 4g (and by any other carrier). It will give you an idea of where you can turn on 4g if you need the higher speeds.
4G also works in Santa Monica
so ive gotten 4g on temple and grand, on the 5 south going through downtown la, and through hollywood, also i got it going on the 5 north near norwalk, but its really sensitive like ill have a couple bars then nothing it seems more "specific" than 3g which i think would more gradually go out
There is testing going on all over LA. I have gotten it in Cypress, Hollywood, LA, Anaheim etc.
But it cuts in and out very frequently. Towers are in place, but not deployed yet.
Since the end of November, most of Texas, it seems, has had a drop in speed/service quality with Sprint's 3G and 4G networks.
In Austin, I would regularly get between 1 and 2 mpbs download on 3G, and up to 6 on 4G. After the end of November, I get between 100-500kbps, if anything, and 4G service has been halved.
I called Sprint and they said that the outage is still in effect and they are working on it. I have experienced the slow network in Austin and Dallas. Very frustrating.
Anyone else?
San Antonio has had some issues as of late. I'm not a heavy data user, but definitely noticed a slowdown.
i live in austin and by my house (campus/hyde parK) speed across 3g has remained pretty constant. im in a low lying area so i have no 4g there
at work (arboretum area) i work at the top of a hill and prefer 4g to work wifi. I can normally get 3-4 and have even got 6 or 7 a handful of tests. i have never seen 3g anywhere (on my evo obv) above about 800 kbs. where are you that you have seen 1-2 mbps? cedar park? round rock?
for reference i just downloaded the 58 mb 3.7 update over 4g in about 2 or 3 minutes.
I live in South Austin, William Cannon and Manchaca, basically, and would always get over 1000kbps there, even though I am in a valley and don't have the best signal.
At work, by Zilker Park, and downtown I consistently used to get between 1 and 2 mbps. I never see 1mbps anymore.
Here is a copy of the email I got back from Sprint Support:
Dear Mr. _____:
We regret any frustration this matter may have caused. Our records indicate that there is a trouble ticket open for the Austin area. Customers may experience connectivity issues during this time. We are currently investigating this matter for the root cause of the issue.
Sincerely,
SprintCares
Im in San Antonio as well and it has defiantly been throttled down. you might want to try this little tweek it helped me alot since im on the line of 1604 and service really craps out there.

service around 1604 has sucked bad lately, same with out in helotes, and just about everywhere i go normally.
I live in Houston and I noticed a some what slower data rate here since about the middle of November... I had rooted my phone and thought maybe i would get better connection with it being rooted and nothing changed... I havent called Sprint yet because I have been so busy, but maybe after the holidays I will call them and see whats going on.
per the rep i just talked to, tower down affecting (wouldn't say where it is) San antonio, and a handful of other south texas cities, brownsville, san B____ something. and a city in west texas.
said national 3g coverage is down, probably due to the winter storms, but i doubt any towers i receive coverage from have been affected.
I live in Mineral Wells, a small town about an hour west of Ft. Worth, and I haven't really noticed a significant drop. I don't have access to Wifi or 4G, freaking boondocks, all I have to base this on is my 3G service.
I just ran a test off of a server in Austin with the SpeedTest app, and got:
Download: 139.6 kB/s
Upload: 82.8 kB/s
Ping: 175 ms
What do y'all think, good numbers?
Yea thats San Benito, I grew up there. Its been kinda slow recently here. but I dont notice. I am always on wifi when I get into the house.
Have been seeing the same thing here in NE San Antonio (IH 35 N & 1604) just tested again with 4G and got 3.55 mbs down & 0.85 mbs up. 3G 0.70mbs down & 0.26 mbs up. I have seen up in the 6.0 mbs when I first bought phone in October.
prosper (north of dallas) 3g sucks eggs. 4g is kinda spotty, but there.
I have wondered why service was lagging so bad. I have been driving around Dallas all day today trying to load maps and it has taken about 5 minutes per page over 3g. Can't get a decent 4g signal to stick and haven't been able to for the past month. I have noticed a major decline in signal strength/speed. I use mine mainly for the hotspot and it has definitely dropped in speed in the past month. I now get about 100 kbps if I am lucky. I hope they fix something soon.

There are updated radio's for the Evo and it helped get my speeds back up. I am in Richardson and both 3g and 4g had slowed to half. Now 3g is back to normal and 4g is close to what it was a few months back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485&highlight=radio+combo
If you are not on the new 3.70 build number only flash the radio and wimax update to the latest. DO NOT UPDATE PRI IF YOUR NOT ON 3.70!!
Seems like Sprint finally fixed whatever was the problem this weekend. On Saturday, suddenly my phone was finally getting over 1000kbps on speedtest.net and seemingly working like it used to.
