Not too shabby where I do pick up LTE. The irony is my office is less than a mile from Sprint HQ and I barely get 3G there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
That's odd considering there is a 4g LTE tower on campus of Sprint HQ and ALL over the area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BrandoKC:
I eat lunch every day around Town Center. Today I was at Dean and Delucca struggling to get 3G to do anything. It's like that every day and was the same on my Gnex.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Iczer:
I don't have an S4, but came over here b/c I'm thinking about upgrading soon. Still don't know if I want to try something besides Sprint. I work in downtown KC and after 8am 3g is utterly useless, I can't do anything. I really can't believe how bad it is. I shouldn't have to use wireless everywhere I go, that's not the point of having a cellphone then. On top of LTE at my house is like 6-10mbps. I'm just very disappointed in the network. I can't beat the price at Sprint, but is it worth it to pay more for better service?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BrandoKC:
I hear ya. I keep on waiting for the network to improve and in the areas it is good it is really good. Unfortunately that is never in an area that I have to spend a significant amount of time in.

I picked up a Mifi from Verizon last year without a contract. I like to have it for my tablet and laptop, plus we share it as a family when we travel. I hate the fact that I have to break it out at my office sometimes just to have decent service on my phone, but it's also a nice insurance policy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jsmcmahon89:
Finally at my home in Palm Harbor FL. Just got it last night.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
Must be because of the high sprint traffic in the area that speeds are low. Towers are just over loaded. But there is definitely LTE in that area. I'm positive. Now where you eat might be a dead zone but every map I've seen has coverage all over the KC area and specifically in the Overland area. Town Center is directly across the street from HQ and that area should be banging LTE easily as its very strong there and obviously across the street at HQ its very strong. If your 3g speeds are that slow and not connecting to 4g at all then maybe take it to the sprint store on the opposite side of the plaza on Town Center Dr/W 117th and ask them there. The towers are turned on and close by.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] FanOfSkynyrd:
Was in San Diego for work last week. First time I've been on LTE.

LTE is not live where I am stationed (Yuma, AZ)...supposed to be this summer.

Below readings were taken around MCAS Miramar area. Wasnt too impressed but San Diego does have a huge population and I believe LTE went live there not too long ago so prob still working out bugs:

LTE was recently introduced in the East Lansing/Okemos area in Michigan, here's a couple tests I did, the bottom with 3 bars and the top with 1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
Try multiple times when you test. I've noticed a 10mb difference in a matter of minutes. I'm heading out to East Lansing for a bit today or tomorrow so I'll give it a few tries myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frostedunit:
Not a speed test, but I saw ~60 guys loading up antennas and coax for NV in southern OH today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sweets55:
I'm in Columbus and thought we would have LTE by now but sounds like good news. Go Bucks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
I've heard Ohio will be later in the year because of the low # of sprint customers in the area. But maybe it got pushed ahead to summer.

Go Blue!!! Buck the Fu ckeyes!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sweets55:
LoL. ^ My 3G speeds are ok so that's cool. We got WiMax real quick but guess that doesn't matter. Go Bucks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gridironbear:
I'm getting slightly faster upload speeds than download. Not bad speeds overall though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Quiksmage:
I had a previous SGS4 that I returned to get a different color (decided on black). My original white one got 4G connectivity in my house, but the new black one doesn't ever get 4g. Did something happen when I switched phones on sprint's side? or is it possible this phone is getting worse reception? I was getting a 16/2 connection in my room previously.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
That happens sometimes when there is a lot of traffic. Most people download so that might be why its slower at times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tenaciousj:
Was camping in Bitely, MI and speeds there were around 32/8.

Saint Cloud Minnesota had 13 mb down/ 10 up as of yesterday. I live in the cities in Lauderdale (between St.Paul and Minneapolis) and I'll update this thread once I run a few tests when I get back home.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skx0liukangx00:
This is what I'm getting in Apple Valley, 10 minutes south of St Paul.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] puch0021:
Just tested in Lauderdale outside on my apartment deck. LTE 3mb down, 3mb up @ 5pm on Sunday, 6/2.

With my galaxy s2 at the same location and time, I got a wimax speedtest of 8mb down, 1mb up.

I've been having a lot of dropped calls in my apartment. So many that sprint has given me an airave. They are doing work on the towers nearby so I hope that it is the cause of the dropped calls and slow LTE speed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Truitt.Jack:
I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Huge city, waiting for Sprint 4g LTE. If you guys have any word, let me know. Thanks:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skx0liukangx00:
I took another test here in Apple Valley MN. Much faster. Wow. Im happy :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] flu13:
I really do not understand Sprint's rollout strategy. Why are they leaving out major cities where they could hit thousands of users and going after these small towns? I feel the frustration of the people earlier in this thread from SC and AL. I live in Lexington, KY (population 300k+), and we don't even have Wimax 4G. The only places in KY that are currently on the LTE rollout list are Paducah (population ~25k) and Glasgow (population ~14k). Well done, Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] apexcell:
North East Torrance, CA. Wow, much better than central or southern parts of Torrance. :)

Too bad I live in a 3G only area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gsd17:
I was shocked when i first tested the S4 compared to my EVO LTE, the speed the S4 was able to pull was amazing. Sprint has definitely regain my approval again :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Muledeer:
Not completely rolled out here

New towers added every week - I see the coverage is getting larger.

sprint has delivered as high as 10-12mbps down and 8-10 up in some areas on 4G LTE

Baton Rouge, LA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cerj:
It is spotty in the New Orleans Metro area. But when you get a signal its fast
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
The answer is simple. It is much easier to trouble shoot and test load slowly when you don't have lets say 35,000 people on the tower. In a smaller town they can test and adjust and see the changes more effectively. Not sure why there are not any towers in Lexington with LTE though. I've been to many cities that are much larger and around the same size as Lexington and they have LTE. Also, they know how many people are on the network everyday in that area already so that may factor into why they haven't started. Also They may be looking to move the "tower" to a higher different location. I've seen a few around me get put on water towers and churches. Just depends on whats around and high enough.

Oh and for the Michigan people I have seen a few spots got expanded today. Howell, MI range was extended today as well as Flint, MI on 75 and Grand Blanc, MI was extended a few miles further.

Clair, MI has new towers too I seen. Speeds aren't great but its brand new towers just installed. The range should extend into Farwell where my gf's parents and family lives. This will come in handy to surf the web and not be bored while up visiting.

Some spots along 127 in Michigan heading north from Lansing to Mt. Pleasant had LTE. I didn't note the exact city and spots along 127 as I was driving. Maybe they are using the windmills in the wind farms around there for antenna. lol They are really tall and its all flat land for miles and miles. Rather expensive tower but hey, got to put our tax money to use somehow right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] deizell:
Just got my SG4 yesterday. Loving the speed of this beast! Just north of Miami,Fl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VeNoM0713:
The speeds some of you guys are getting is ridiculous. I live in Buffalo, NY.. 2nd largest city in the state at 260k pop and i have yet to see LTE. let alone 4G. i am lucky to get 1MB down (and thats on a good day) I am truly jealous.

[MENTION=980421]eskomo[/MENTION] it's coming. The crews in our area are working from Louisville east and southern Ohio south. They are planning on meeting around Lexington in late Q4 of this year.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
Don't be surprised if it happens

by the end of summer my friend. Sprint is actually ahead of schedule in a lot of areas. Not saying its going to be done everywhere this year but sooner than originally expected. And once 800mhz is added the network work will be in good shape.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Truitt.Jack:
They can rollout smaller towns/cities faster. Same goes here in Arizona. 2 small areas have LTE but not Phoenix. And Phoenix is the 6th largest city in the country. SO we should already have LTE, definitely before most people...but nope.

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

Phoenix has no LTE, and we're the largest in the state, 6th in the country at 1.4M. But I can pull 2.3 down and get about 1 up on 3G.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Like I said in my previous posy, smaller cities may only have 2-3 towers so they can cover those areas very fast. Larger markets will already be a work in progress by the time those go live, but take much longer to complete. More towers=slower rollout..

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Sprint's network is improving. My s4 today was blowing my wife's Verizon phone away today. Don't believe Verizon commercials about better building penetration. Not true. Inside both phones was slower but sprint was more usable and much faster. Outside -Her phone would be around 2-5 down. Sprint was 10-30 down! Go sprint! Muncie Indiana.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Truitt.Jack:
That's definitely an impressive feat, Sprint the underdog tackling the big red. I'm pretty confident when LTE lights up in my area it'll make quite the splash. I live in Phoenix, and every carrier has huge LTE coverage here, even Cricket, but Sprint doesn't. They've launched to smaller towns just out of my area, and I've seen NV panels everywhere. Even on the roads from Arizona to California, where they have a huge LTE market lit up. I've been getting much better 3g speeds, about 2 down and 1 up on average. So, gathering this, I'm anticipating a launch by the end of 2013. It's really not if but when..and you guys can count on a ton of posts from me when it does!

I've been having some weird issues with LTE. For example, I don't tend to get an LTE singnal before 5pm. After that I get slow LTE (.2mb/s) at my work at zip code 92705 and very fast LTE at home at 92617 (12mb/s)

But apparently there are weird signal issues all over SoCal because sprint is developing so much around here. Neither place mentioned above is on the sprint lte coverage map

Standish, MI. Just before noon. Tower is about a 1/4 mile down the road. Still think it is in testing though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frostedunit:
Not at all weird. If it's a new LTE location, they let them run for several weeks before they are considered an active 4g area. This lets them make sure the software and hardware are functioning properly before they promise service in those areas.
