is it true...

thats t-mobiles 4g is more widespread than sprints atm? i was told last night that it was.

All they did was beef up their 3G network and not use a "new technology", so yes, it is.

yeah they about the same, but some 4g speeds (even tho is not really 4g) from tmobile re faster then sprint wimax

I have a Dell Streak 7 with tmobile and yes its true...and its fast! I don't have Wimax in my area though for my EVO

I don't have 4G from Sprint, but I do get 3G.
I can't sign up for T-Mobile (or Verizon) where I am even if I wanted to.

sprints 4g is hardly no where, just in SOME major cities

They advertise as the nations largest "4G" network so probably. The confusing thing to me is that AT&T announced that their entire 3G network is now HSPA+, and they have a significantly larger 3G network than T-Mo so shouldn't they have the largest HSPA+/"4G" network? Of course with AT&T comes more users so speeds will be slower anyway (I get 3-5 Mb/s on a iPhone 4 in Brooklyn so you'd get that even with a HSPA+/"4G" phone like the Inspire).

my buddy has the nexus S and his speed crush mine he get 4g speeds on a 3g network while im on a 3g network getting dial up speeds

Truth but now att and T-Mobile are hspa + and all devices are going to come like that, btw I just saw the latest report of the networks reliability (call , sms and data )and Verizon came up on top again, while T-Mobile is the worst ( I got a tmobile phone from my company) and att and sprint almost the same

Unhappy with 4G

Not even gonna discuss speed and bytes per second. I'm lucky if I stay connected rooted or not rooted. How can sprint be.proud about their 4G network if its not stable. Anyone have a steady 4G connection. I'm in NYC.

I live in the San Fernando valley CA and my 4g is greatcoat here inside and out

I have steady 4G, in suburbs of LA.

I have a tower outside my office, and if I'm outside, 4 bars. Once I go inside, the building....poof it is gone. Which is normal for the very high frequency WiMax is on, it just does not penetrate walls very well. Connection speed during the day is horrible, but goes up when normal people are still sleeping 4am, it might hit 5 mbps.

Depends on where you are. On my 3D i get a connection on the edge of my bed lmao. Whenever I travel to central west palm my 4G is kicking ass.

I have decent coverage when traveling around Nashville TN but when I'm inside a building, or my house, I'm lucky to stay connected and have more than 1 or 2 "curved bars". penetration sucks with Wimax.

I have a steady 4g and I live in NYC as well, specifically Williamsburg. I get about 4 bars outside, one to two bars while inside.
When I lived at my parents house in the Bronx, I got full signal from inside their apartment and it was great.
Where do you live that you get bad coverage? I always considered NYC to have great coverage, but so never tried it in Queens. It may be worst there.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm in St. Louis, and I find it to be pretty thin. As others have mentioned, the frequency means that it just doesn't work well indoors. And it destroys my already terrible battery life. However, if I can get a signal, and if I'm near a charger, the speed is very nice.
Overall I'd say my WiMax experience is a C-.

HERE IS A FACT. this is A FACT! Sprints 4G network is a joke. They have no real workable 4G network. Having a tower here and there doesn't work! Sprint HAS NO PLANS IN ANY FORM OR WAY TO INCREASE THEIR WIMAX 4G NETWORK! They are coming out with LTE phones for a reason. because they are stupid and don't know how to run a company. Other companies LTE networks were LARGER than Sprints ON THEIR FIRST DAY TURNED ON!

My biggest annoyance with 4g is that sometimes it won't load a webpage. With 2-3 bars of 4g even. The progress bar will get about halfway, then stall out. It downloads files quick, but for some reason just has issues with webpages.

I had the same problem when i first got my Evo and I was pissed, when I called Sprint, we went through all kinds od procedural BS, but after a month of calls to Sprint and HTC, we came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue and could not be repaired, so they gave me a new phone. Then I was getting 5 Mb per second. I advise you to let Sprint know and do not give up, they will replace your phone with whatever you want, make sure to let them know how pissed you are, it helps

Yes. I've tested multiple times today. I've also tested it in various parts of the city the last few days. It's always above 10mbps. Most of the time it's above 15.
Edit: More results after mine that's even faster. Nice work T-mobile.

I guess Verizon updated the towers here in West Hollywood near Beverly Hills.
The stupid thing is that the speeds are useless for YouTube because I can't play an HD video without it pausing. We're already feeling the effects of the death of net neutrality.
To prove that I connected to my friend's Wifi and it loaded and fully buffered in less than a second. So, it's useless having those 4G speeds.
