Alright Chicago Sprint!!! Rocking the 100kb LTE! Suweet.

I can walk to the web server and retrieve the documents faster....

Sprint still making excuses and having the most horrendous speed in the business.

They gave me a discount a month ago for their crappy lte. How much is enough.

ATT today telling me 'oh were doing 20mb dl on lte.'

Thats why they have cancellation fees so they can give you crappy service.

Haha wow and you're near Chicago. That place is lit up with LTE.

Phoenix, Arizona

I live in Arizona and am expecting LTE around this March. S4gru says we will be between deployment waves 2 & 3 so March is about right. Im pretty anxious, and with unlimited LTE at such a low price, I'll have bragging rights. Im not actually dissatisfied with my 3G service, I usually get 2-3MB down and at least 1MB up. There have been a TON of upgrades in my area. Hope you guys get your well-deserved LTE too! :victory:

Yea.. Drive a mile away from town and you can pick up a strong signal. In the city not working.

Got 4G service in Greeneville, TN this morning. Freaked me out, it's gone from roaming only, to 1x sprint, to LTE in about 3 months. It was awesome for the 5 minutes I got to use it. Not holding my breath for it to show up here anytime soon, but why Greeneville, BFE, TN?!

I'm here in Orange County, California, missed the bus to class yesterday, so while sitting and brooding at Coffee Bean, looked down to see the 4G icon! Took a ton of screenshots and a couple of tests, no doubt its a test thing since the first round got me 1mb download and 5 upload and the second had something like 10 and 10....Got a few screenshots to upload. Unfortunately in my house the airave isnt giving me 4G, but it seems to be out here, and im on MA4 firmware/modem.

Lg8 has improved 4g for me in north Dallas.

There was a tower issue out there a couple of weeks ago, I wonder if it was fixed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mutiny32:
So it was Sprint Day at Arrowhead for the Chiefs Home-opener. I reverted to stock LG8 to be sure I wasn't getting bad coverage due to buggy/bad/incomplete CM10 builds.

The LTE coverage was about as good as the KC secondary; virtually non-existent. The part that topped it all off was that Sprint has installed new micro-cells on every corner of the bowl as well as at EVERY pillar that holds up the stadium lights. It's not sad; it's infuriating. WiMAX ALWAYS worked more flawlessly at Arrowhead than at virtually every other place I'd ever been. And now I get duped into switching over to LTE and it's total and utter garbage in Sprint's area with literally their highest coverage.

Oh, and how fast? 0bps. Because it would drop straight to EvDO Rev.A and then to 1X and then I'd be lucky to get ANYTHING.

What a joke.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] punwik:
I totally have to agree with you! Sprints version of LTE is garbage so far! I live in dallas and my 3g is faster than the on and off 30 seconds of 4g I get anyday! Everytime I do a speed test it proves it! I hope something happens soon cause this **** is gettin old real quick!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
I took this a few days ago near the PetsSmart off Greenville ave between Lovers and Great Southwestern BLVD.

So far thats the best i have seen.

Also had some lower 20mbs

But also had LTE connection with as little as 2mb down..

I also agree that they are still definitely working on the system. In my office on the 4th floor i always get LTE, but this weekend 3G only. I tested it Saturday and Sunday.

Now Today, Monday, LTE is back on my phone and i got 4.78down and 4.46 up. Thats near Abrams Rd and NW Hwy..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Android Cowboy:
I was looking for information rather than complaining. In fact I really like the Sprint 4G now. I use my S3 as a hotspot and don't even have home internet and save $40/month. It has been fast enough to stream movies from Amazon with no problem. I have used close to 10GB in two weeks so glad that Sprint is unlimited. Hope they maintain the 4G and I will definitely stick with them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
My 3g is fast enough to stream Netflix not YouTube though 4g lte is on it way Tampa Fl. No not to be offensive or anything I just see a lot of people talking crap it you know they new what they were getting in to if not than they did not read and research and that's there own fault not Sprint. I have fait there LTE will be there savior many ways and that they will more than maintain
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tirregius:
Until everyone gets smart about using lte in the coming years for primary internet....the backbone is likely not robust enough to service non mobile use for homes they will add caps or additional fees. Using the mobile network for home as a root user with no paid hotspot priveliges will eventually raise prices. Enjoy it while it lasts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
Im on stock ROM and at my office near Abrams and NW HWY i am getting 4G at about 6 megs down.

I'd assume signal quality isn't as strong, since it's a few blocks away. However, the there's many variables it could be. Such as wall materials (certain buildings are brutal on RF signals).

Redmond, WA got a flicker of LTE for about 20 minutes today

Hey folks, Got my first little taste of LTE this afternoon. I had LTE for all of 20 minutes at work. Speeds were about 2.0mbs which is about 2x what I normally get here. I wasn't expecting too much as they apparently have just over 1% of the LTE towers upgraded around here so far, AND since it wasn't on for very long I'm assuming they just fired up the LTE to make sure the install on that tower was good. It's got my hopes up and I'm excited that it's finally coming :)

Have a great day
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
This means your lte signal is actually coming from another, more distant tower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
No not really it's coming from this one tower but if you sit right under it or within a block of it the speeds drop off, if I'm 2 blocks away or further the speeds pick back up. It was the only tower turned on until a couple of months ago, so I tested a lot on that issue.

Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Are you going based on the signal bar status (dBm measurements via settings?) If so, then it is displaying 1x signal. Even if you're connected to LTE at the moment. Usually when you're right under a tower, you should yield great results. I was checking my local site and even standing under it, my 1x signal never got better than a -77 dBm threshold.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BubZX:
I have had great 4g for months and today I woke with no 4g at all any where, just 3g. Must be doing some more upgrading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Actually, "right under a tower" is the worst place to be. Towers don't aim the signal straight down at the ground. They aim the signal over the coverage area at an angle specific to that area. Some towers are aimed towards the ground more than others depending on geography and population density, but the one place the signal will never go is directly under the towers, or even within a couple hundred feet of the tower for that matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Signal bars have nothing to do with data signal. Signal bars are strictly cellular.

Just a quick question (hopefully there are some site tower fanatics out there.) Do you recall how long it took Sprint to flip the switch for LTE after they've installed the new panels on your local site? Mine's had new panels for over a month now and I haven't seen a blip of LTE yet. I know it's coming, just looking for an estimate lol.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Doesn't matter what the test says. It's obviously wrong. There's a glitch in it somewhere. The maximum speed for Sprint's LTE is around 37Mbps. A glitchy speed test doesn't change that, whether you have it on video or not. Plus, even if the network supported speeds >37Mbps, the Galaxy S3 itself doesn't support higher LTE speeds than that, because it's configured for a 5MHz x 5MHx carrier setup, which maxes out at 37Mbps regardless of network capabilities. So, yeah, no matter what, you can't actually get higher than 37Mbps on this phone, even if the speed test says differently. Physics trumps software glitches, video or no video.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
You are way too butthurt over my post. I am not complaining at all. I just pointed out that your speed test was inaccurate.
