Damn residents of Bernal Heights are complaining about the placement of Clearwire's 4G antennas.

I live in Berkeley, and I know for a fact that tower wouldn't serve me. I have yet to hear anything about service in the East Bay. Anyone have a clue?

Well I'm out in the flatlands of the East bay in Concord, and the closest 4G is the small downtown area of Nut Creek. Sprint, hook us up!!

This is frustrating as **** for those of us who have been waiting, and waiting for these assholes to get their **** together. Yeah, we know San Francisco has a crazy permit and building process - but this is ridiculous. What about San Mateo County? We're total 4G-less while Santa Clara County is almost all the way lit up.

Embarrassing.

I can confirm there is 4G in parts of Fremont. Been using it for a few weeks now.

I'm on 4g right now! Turk and Taylor.
I've left my radio on to search since I got the phone, and only one phantom hit until today.
It's dropped a couple times now, but it keeps coming back. Almost an hour of 4g at this location.



Edit...
Not that impressed with the speed tests so far, but the upload is crazy fast...for a cell phone.

.5 Mbps down, 1.1Mbps up.
Not much better than the 3g, really.
Screen shots taken...now, to get Dolphin to let me attach them...

Very interesting.

I get my fastest 3G access around Grant and O'farrell. A bit over 2Mbits down.

Well...it seems to have gotten better. It's still access going about the same as the 3g... And tethering is SLOW. I'd say slower than with 3g, which is weird, but other people have reported the danger thing... I just looked.

So far, I'm not impressed. The icon looks cool, but I had better performance with 3g on average.

Maybe it's dialed down for testing before an official release?

My girlfriend said she got a 4G signal today in the FiDi, near 2nd and Mission. Think I might switch to a Sense ROM for a few days...

i might turn my 4G on this time just to see.. i got a friend that works for clearwire and he says they're testing it here in SF..

What part of Fremont have you been getting 4G? I've been getting a signal in Union City but only during the day strangely.
