Lately there have been a lot of people reporting that they have 4g in areas not listed in sprints 4g coverage map. So i want all of you people who do get 4g signal to put what city and state you get 4g in, along with the average speed you get, that way all someone could stumble across this thread see the list and say, "oh man theres 4g there! yay!"

So let me start

I get 3 bars of 4g signal in Anaheim, CA around the knotts berry farm area.

And then ill take yours guys info and put here :)




4g Coverage
  1. Anaheim, CA (5 down/2.5 up)
  2. San Jose, CA (5 down/2.5 up)
  3. Nampa/Boise, ID (Full speed at sprint store, 2.5 down / 1 up everywhere else)
  4. Lexington, NC (5 down/2.5 up)
  5. Richmond, VA (5 down/2 up)

I get 4G in Nampa/Boise, ID. I get 4G speeds when I'm in the sprint store, other than that, I get 4G speeds that are half the speed of 3G speeds, and the 3G speeds are getting pretty damn close to being dial up speed around here. It really is quite ****ty.

How are you guys getting above 1mbps on upload? I thought Sprint/Clear had capped the upload at 1mbps.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have no idea about the speeds. I was driving around the whole city(san jose, ca) with my applefanboy friend and i wanted to show off the phone and when he turned the 4g on it got signal. We opened the speedtester and bammm he stop talking about apple stuff.

I thought san jose was on the list for cities coming soon, but this was a fast launch unless is only testing phase.

They launched 4G here in Syracuse, NY almost a month ago.

I can't test the speed right now because I live right in the middle of a gap in the 4G coverage, but when out in areas with coverage I was getting speeds just a little faster than 3G in the same area.

Coverage here is horrible, even in the better 4G spots shown on the map I get a poor signal. I've never been able to get over one bar, and that one bar usually drops fast.

EDIT: Was in a 4G area today with a decent signal and got 1.99 Mbps down, and 0.8 Mbps up.

First off, stop using the speedtest.net app to test speed, it is not accurate! Either use the flash speedtest.net or the HTML testmy.net if you want an accurate reading.

Second.

Denver - Broomfield around Interlocken and at Invesco field and a good 5 mile stretch down the highway.

LOL, I saw that there was 4G during a Rockies game a month ago. My 3G stopped working, (I think the network was overtaxed during the game), and I happened to try 4G and was able to continue using data. Great speed too. Never got around to testing it though...

Also, Tri-Cities (Pasco, WA) has 4G and its official too.

Make the font as big as you want, it will still be a free country..
