chicago. 7:45am. quicker than normal. sad.

geez I'd kill for those speeds. In Denver, I hover around 200Kb/s down and 100Kb/s up. And usually 200-350ms latency.

My Evo OG takes about 1.3-1.6 DL and .93 UL on the reg at work all day. I will hopefully have this phone sometime this week when they start to ship and I'll let you know my variance, if any.

I wonder if I can be compensated for the rep that lied to me saying that we could still use wimax as the LTE network is being built.

Sprint sucks... ):

Austin, Tx
(admittedly I get terrible reception in the house)

Yeah well if you run speed tests in the late night/early morning hours, of course you're going to get good numbers. The network isnt as congested as the daytime and normal evening hours when people are awake.

Suburbs of San Antonio, Tx...normally weak 3G
(Using Sprint EVO 4G LTE)
On a good day 3G:
.90 Mbps down and .60 Mbps up with 290 ms ping
Rarely got 4g wimax to connect on my Og EVO in the burbs.
FWIW...Lte is lighting up off and on...assume testing as we are one of first cities to get Lte. Speedtest all over the place:
Best 8.65 Mbps down and 8.98 Mbps up and 113 ms ping
Lowest 5.22 Mbps down and 5.27 Mbps up and 110 ms ping
Also notice stronger 3G signal but not really faster speeds while they are testing. Would be thrilled if I could get consistent lte anywhere near early test speeds...especially after people start using it.

Oh yeah, Sprint is flying in northern California. :crying:

Don't know if this has already been made a thread.
I'm sure we're all excited about HSPA+ 42, but what speeds are you getting in your area at the moment?
I live in SF - where all tech lives, but I still don't find the fastest speeds there (12 Mbps on avg). A multitude of factors exist.
However, Chicago's been the fastest for me... so far.

I'm pretty sure they are 4g speeds. The guy above you is 4g speeds which are quite impressive. There's a cell tower under "type" which means it's not the WiFi speed.
Mine have been around 8-9Mbps average with certain places getting me up to 13Mbps.
Yea, im dumb. I was looking at the status bars and not thinking the screens were from previous network tests. My bad

My 4G speeds has decreased greatly here in Delaware, I used to be able to get speeds as high as in my sig (10-12mb down on my OG Evo), but since I had my 3D & now this phone its much lower, but right now I'm getting better speeds at home where I used to get horrible speeds as posted in this pic. One more thing, get the GS3 cuz Bmore will have LTE hopefully within the month or sooner.

No 4G service here in the USVI. Service has also been horrible lately. About 8-20Kbs during peak hours and 50-90Kbs during off peak hours. It unbearable and makes the smartphone experience suck compared to the continental US. The voice service also sounds like I am under water on over 50% of St. Croix.

Lol, the connection strength isn't too shaby... It does disconnect often but that is because number one, the coverage is still somewhat spotty and two this phone has that "best connection" thing where it automatically picks the best coverage spectrum. So when i'm at home it always wants to pick my wifi since it's the strongest signal... the pic was actually taken while driving which was even more impressive... i wish there was a way to manually enable LTE like Wimax because sometimes you're in an area where u know there is 4g coverage cuz u got it b4 but the phone may not be scanning when u happen to drive thru that area. But once it is more widely deployed it will be like 3g where u can get it everywhere and provide a stable connection.

LTE is the next step 4th generation in wireless radio data transmission(although none of the carriers are actually providing true 4g speeds yet, the capacity is there)... unlike wimax it doesn't have a completely separate antenna that has to be manually switched on and off... its a different radio frequency but runs off of the same antenna as your standard 3g if im not mistaken... eHRPD tells the phone when to switch from 3g(CDMA) to LTE... as stated above once the deployment is widespread it will be a stable connection just like 3g... but thats years at minimum b4 we see that kind of coverage...

Don't waste your time moving lol. I live in Atlanta and its so spotty we might as well not have it. I don't get it at home or work. A few spots as you drive come on but what good is that? Quite disappointing really. However when i did get it and stopped, i got a 35meg test speed.
In Joliet, IN for business and I'm getting between 17 and 20 down and 4 to 6 up. Not bad considering I'm not getting anything in North Dallas where I live even though the Sprint Coverage map has me completely covered in LTE.....Sprint Coverage map sucks to be honest.
I have yet to see 4g LTE in my status bar and I live in SF area. Is there a toggle bar somewhere or in the settings area? I'm using blazer ROM

how fast are your 3G speeds?

Hey so I have a question for you guys. How fast are your 3G speeds? I'm asking because my gs3 won't go over 600 kb even at my best service. And my wifi is also extreamly slow. The wifi doesn't make sence to me Cuz my Droid x2 uses the same wifi and it gets triple the speed that my gs3 gets. Any one have the same problem or have a solution for this?
My WiFi is fine. 3g sucks.

Sprint- Sorry but our "8" key is missing and we don't like "8" anyways so the answer is never.

setting up 4G LTE in small towns is cheaper than in big cities and allows them to have a better "number of 4g towns and cities" that 4g carriers love to mention in ads.

They're deploying through the New Orleans Metro area now. Not much so far but it's progress.
I'm so jealous of people that get LTE. I live in San Francisco and on the old 4G WiMax network, I used to get 4G at home and at the office. Now that I'm on an LTE phone, I only get 3G at home and at the office. The sucky part is that if I walk 1 block in any direction of my house or office, I'll get a 4G LTE signal. I really hope Sprint boosts the signal or add additional antennas so I'm not stuck in a 4G LTE deadzone for the next 2 years.....:crying:
Sprint Is just pure BS when it comes to any network rollout or advancements, thats just fact. even though they were bought out, its their corporate structure they need to change. On every level they are one of the most sloppy companies i have ever dealt with in my life. And seriously why would they roll out LTE IN BUTTVILLE and in ghettos. aND YES IM SERIOUS about that statement too. In Los Angeles, There is LTE alright but not where there are many people like to travel such as south LA, (south Central) yeah the LTE is crackin there!! No Lie

Yea, that was uncalled for.
For the last part of 2012, I was getting great LTE speeds in downtown Houston. They ranged from 22 - 25 down and from 7 - 9 up. Nowadays, however, I'm only getting about 3.86 down, but still averaging ~8 mbps for upload. Do you think this drop in only download speed is due to people getting more and more LTE capable phones?
