If anyone else here is in the St. Louis MO area, preferably on the IL side, are you getting LTE yet? Last I talked to Sprint it should have been up by now.

Unless you get really high up in the network rollout team and then convince them to spill that info anything else you hear from others is just going to be rumors.

San Bernadino County, Sprint.

PLEAASE.

I found some pockets of LTE around the 92337 zip code.

I got 11 Mbps down and 2 mbps up and, I cried tears of joy.

The average is around 5-9 mbps up and around 1-2 mbps down for me.

Sprint, why can't you have this everywhere? Seriously?

Just waiting for the rest of San Bernadino...

I've had 4G lte since August and I live in a rural area outside Alvin TexasThis was taken a month ago where I had awesome 4G LTE signal, Now my 4G has been gone for about a week
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wallythander:
I am in Chicago and honestly it seems like there is 4g almost everywhere. In Lincoln Park I got 20mbps a few months ago. South Side though, the speeds seem to be slower, but I still seem to have 4g like 50% of the time. It is amazing that now I get 4g where before I had my S3 I would get 1x instead of 3g.

LTE from Barceloneta, Puerto Rico

I live about an hour from there and have spotty 4G and it varies from 3rd 1-5mbps.

Hopefully Sprint will upgrade the relay towers and the signal will stabilize and I'll have that same speed.

I've been getting it fairly consistently over the last month or so in Fond du Lac, WI. Today I've been running into issues. It worked this morning before work, but since I got to work I've had a bunch of issues with it. It kind of work and kind of doesn't. Running the Sensorly speedtest shows it bounce from 0 connection speed to about 15-18mbps, back and forth between nothing and a fair bit. Speedtest.net app doesn't even find a server, can't use facebook or browser. Going to try flashing the latest version of my ROM and seeing if that helps. Everything works fine over 3G.

This was taken Wednesday, but I got near similar speeds when I tested today. This is at FireKeepers Casino just outside of Battle Creek, MI, and so far it’s the best speeds I've gotten between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo. I still would like to test where Sprint has officially showed LTE in Michigan so far, which are roughly in the counties surrounding Lansing. Fortunately I'm relatively close to Bellevue, one of the villages so designated.

Tough to watch all these great speeds in the Chicago burbs (Elgin, Vernon Hills, lots of Lake county) and here we sit in the friggin' Cone of Silence in the Loop. They've whacked all the regular towers at the knees and our 3g here is literally down to a trickle.

Yep, new sites coming online in the market everyday. Check Sensorly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shazo85:
Looks like most of it is in the forest park area and on the Illinois side spots of 270. Sprint told me the Illinois side was to get it first due to how bad they handled wimax on this side. Guess that was wrong.

Someone is lying to you and just making stuff up. The LTE rollout has nothing to do with Clearwire's wimax.

I am not sure what is going on in the Boston area but I went from pretty sweet LTE speeds to nothing better than I was getting on my non LTE phone.

From December:

17.93 Mbps - Download

9.69 Mbps - Upload

50ms - Ping

From this week (and indicitive of the past few months)

4.68 Mbps - Download

0.33 Mbps - Upload

Ping 100ms

All in the exact same location. The last time I got even close to double digit speeds was back in early April.

Something like that... I'm pretty pissed at them right now.

Generally they're okay, I know the 4glte rollout is slow, but I've seen what it can do and am doing my damnedest to be patient. Had a 4glte antenna pop up about two miles from my house so I'm excited.

But their customer service recently pissed me off and I'm still upset about it.....

I don't believe its been fully or officially launched, however i've been tracking/monitoring with gps and different apps ever since i've seen 4g pop up on my phone.

anybody?

That's why I'm considering dropping sprint. I get nothing but the run around and hit and miss data connections. I don't know when the last time I was able to connect to Google music and play without any issue. For the past 6 months I have been lucky if I was able to play one song on it.

I finally got a 4G signal in Castle Rock, CO. Not very good, but encouraging.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BoboBrazil:
Sprint's LTE is just like the rest of it's data it offers. A step behind the competition and pure ****. LTE in the very few select areas it is in barely even gets ATT and Tmobile 3G speeds. It was decent at first for the first few weeks they launched the towers but now dl speeds are about 3-5mbps at times that are not peak hours now that people are actually using it. Just did a lte test and got about 3.8 mbps in Plano, TX.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
All depends on your area, in Joplin i steadily hit 20 mbps when I'm there. Sprint is by far the best overall network here, tmobile is pretty much nonexistent, Verizon users can't connect to a call (but 3g is a bit better, they can pull around 3 to 3.5 mbps, while i can pull just over 2 regularly in my house) and at&t is the only one that's close (but they did just start deploying 4g in Columbia) Sprint is scheduled to deploy at the end of this year here. Wimax here with sprint was awesome also, i love sprint and don't plan on leaving them unless i move or they do away with unlimited data...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr._Happy:
Sprint is building out 4G and it'll take time, though it may now happen a bit faster since they've secured Clearwire and Softbank is going to take over.

My 4G in New York City has steadily been improving and is around the 10 Mbps range right now - and they haven't yet 'officially' launched it here.

The 800 MHz Nextel network has just been put to rest, so for people with current handsets 3G will be improving markedly by the end of this year. By this time next year they should be well on their way to reinforcing their 4G network with 800 MHz as well as rolling out Advanced LTE with all that Clearwire spectrum that they now own and the FCC has said they can keep.

Sprint's been through an extended rough patch, no doubt, but I suspect things will be looking up fairly soon and there's the potential for them to outpace the competitors with regard to Advanced LTE. Speeds of 20 Mbps could well be exceeded into the 100 Mbps range - if Softbank's promises and performance in Japan are anything to go by. I doubt Big Red, Nast T&T or T-Mobile will be on track to compete with that.

Or such is my hope. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
A little nitpick: the iDEN shutdown won't affect 3G at all. 3G doesn't use the 800MHz network and never will. It will be forever limited to 1900MHz. It's OK because they're moving to LTE for data and 1xAdvanced (eventually VoLTE, but not anytime soon) for voice, so theoretically, 3G would go mostly unused. Sprint is focused on the future, and 3G doesn't have one, so they're just gonna let it chill for now.

What will improve is voice coverage and performance in places where they've lit up 1xAdvanced, and they'll now have enough spectrum to begin their LTE-over-800MHz rollout. But the only thing that folks with current phones will notice is the voice improvements since current phones are not 800MHz LTE-ready.

The iDEN shutdown isn't so much for present network gains as it is for future network gains, like the 800MHz LTE rollout. Most people probably won't even notice a difference for another year or two, unless you're in a market like Chicago that's currently extremely spectrum-limited and very congested (and even in Chicago, the biggest differences will probably be felt in the US Cellular deal rather than the iDEN shutdown).

Sorry about the length. Just wanted to clarify a few things. I'm very much looking forward to the improvements from the iDEN shutdown. I think it will improve Sprint's network immensely. But it won't happen anytime soon unless 800MHz service has been turned on for your market, and even then, the biggest improvements won't come until the 800MHz LTE rollout. So, be patient and try to stay realistic while you're waiting for network improvements. It won't happen overnight, especially for Sprint's current services.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr._Happy:
I'm sure I saw an article that said it would be used for 3G.

I know Sprint will also use its 800 MHz spectrum for CDMA voice services, including 1X Advanced voice (and eventually LTE), but I'm sure I saw an article which included 3G specifically.

Or did I dream it?

What you posted makes sense, of course - assuming I did dream it - so the end of Nextel will certainly improve the Sprint service overall.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BoboBrazil:
How long has LTE been available in Joplin? I got speeds like 20-30mbps when it first launched for a couple of months and now everything the last 5 months has been 3-5mbps with one time getting lucky and getting 11mbps during several tests over several months. When people actually start using the LTE the speeds will crash there like it did here.

That's great, but how long have we put up with horrible speeds? Most of Dallas is still 3G and we can't even listen to Pandora without it stuttering and buffering all the time. I'm going to be moving shortly to T-Mobile and if Sprint ever gets better I might move back, but right now T-Mobile offers faster speeds, unlimited data, and lower prices. There is no point in being loyal to Sprint for years while they try to get better while you can be on another provider's network enjoying full functionality of your smart phone now. I guess if you are always in a 4G area it isn't that bad, but how many people actually live in one of those? My coverage is so spotty and it constantly switches back and forth primarily being 3G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
I totally disagree, I have lte since November of last year, I average between 21 to 28mbps almost everywhere city wide. I live in a heavily populated area with over 3 million people. Doesn't matter where I go county wide i get those types of speeds. Have you considered that maybe there's nly one or two towers turned on around you while they might still be upgrading others they move the load to the only ones available. Look up the network Vision deployment in your area see what's going on.

Actually since 1x is a 3g technology then yes 800smr will have 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Fair enough. Specifically, then, there will be no 800MHz EVDO, which is what most people mean when they talk about Sprint 3G. People don't usually use 1x for data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
It was the first market in Missouri to light up and has been available for around 5 out 6 months at least i believe..

I live in an only 3g area (but visit 4g areas quit frequently) and never have any problems with 3g. My 3g is fast enough to tether my ps3 for Netflix (with no buffering except at the beginning when is loading the movie) and can play games online with no lag, again, it's all about the area you're in. Sprint is to dog here, can't wait until 4g goes live at my house, then i will be in heaven, but 3g handle everything i can throw at it
