No 4G in Tampa,FL

Is it me, or has the 4G been lost in Tampa? It could just be my phone, but I haven't been able to connect to 4g in over a week.

It was working (at half the speed I usually get) 2 Fridays ago. But, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Tampa scheduled for LTE by the end of the year? If so, they could be working on the towers in your area.

I'm in Tampa as well and there is 4g its just hard to find. I live over in Seminole heights and there is a tower less than a mile from me and I've gotten it but its very weak. My 3g was giving it a run for its money...

If I understand correctly, 4G Wimax towers (owned by Clearwire) should have nothing to do with 3G CDMA / 4G LTE towers (owned by Sprint).

I have to turn 4G off and on a few times to get a decent connection and when I do it disconnects a minute later.. best places I've seen are near USF and on 275 between Westshore Blvd & downtown. Everywhere else sucks. Also I've never once had a good connection indoors

I move around quite frequently and I find a decent amount of areas that have 4g, even in places that you wouldn't think it would be. If your near a Sprint store then most cases there will be 4g available. Inside the Tampa Pitcher Show, across from Sprint store, you can get service inside easily. Places out in Brandon and Valrico as well, in fact I was using 4g yesterday in IHOP out on 60. If LTE is covered as much as the current 4g then I'll be very happy... Oh and I thought I read that it was coming here this summer according to that unofficial sprint build out site. I won't contemplate even getting an LTE phone before then since 4g is so readily available for me, and we know how good the 3g can be at times.....

Noooooooo you guys are all wrong. 4G is there but its just incognito and invisible.
Im just messing.

I was just in Tampa yesterday and got 4G. Also got 4G in St Petersburg also.

is there a way to reset the 4g? for some reason I can't connect to it at all, after a data reset, network refresh, everything I can think of. is it possible to try to change the realm to clearwire instead of sprintpcs?

psst a little birdy told me july is when to look for some lte pickin's

So far, the only areas where i've gotten good 4g connections is near downtown, or closer to Oldsmar. I live in T-N-C and 4g is very sparatic (i think i spelled that right )

I have noticed its like that over on the east end of Fowler and Busch.. I'm not to sure why though.

Recently where I work, we had a meeting with Sprint network engineers and corporate Sprint sales people and I asked them when we should expect LTE to be in our area (West Texas more specifically Abilene, TX)
The engineer said that we should get LTE here in late 2013, third or fourth quarter
In translation to me, that means early to mid 2014! HAHA
I can't wait, I gave up a 4G phone to hop to the S III with LTE radio to be ready for it

While you are evaluating the handset and the LTE coverage, make sure you update the baseband firmware with the LG8 version now being pushed out. It can make all the difference in getting and holding LTE connections.
And if you are serious about researching the Sprint LTE rollout, go to S4GRU.com and consider becoming a sponsor to gain access to fuller information about the network.

It really depends on what towers have LTE on. For example, there is a HUGE
tower in Lewisville off of 3040 Roundgrove and I can get 4G about a mile or so
from it. Also, sometimes work in N Dallas/Farmers Branch and get it there also.

Still no LTE anywhere around Downtown Dallas. Come on Sprint, turn on the towers.....

I also get lte on north side of weatherford but not the south side

Did you really type that? You do remember this is SPRINT, right?

It worked in Denison yesterday for me. I live in Richardson and it works well for me. Had lunch in Addison and it worked. Also get a signal in Garland where I work. Very spotty north of Plano. Surprisingly strong in East Garland/West Richardson. Haven't ventured downtown with new phone so can't say about that yet. Did get an LTE signal in Oakcliff(20/Wheatland) last weekend.

The closest i got 4G off Central and NW HWY area was at Central and Southwestern BLVD. Which is a tad bit south of NW HWY.
I went to Chipotle. I took a speed test in chipotle and another one when i was on the service road across from the tower just south of Southwestern blvd. FYI, i saw them upgrading that tower 2 weeks ago but this is the first time 4G light up for me there. See pics for speeds. Slower speed was inside chipotle. Faster speed was across the highway from the tower on the service road.
I quickly lost it as went south toward Down Town Dallas.

4G lte!

Idk but i think rochester mn has 4g lte. Got some of it. It was fast! Does anyone else got it where they live? Now im feelin sprint cause they unlimited data on 4g lte. The cool thing was i had full bars too. Download was at 25.62 mbps and upload at 6.26mbps

me- So when is San Diego getting LTE?
Sprint- What is San Diego? Is that a drink or something?
me- No. It's the 8th largest city in the U.S.
Sprint- Sorry but our "8" key is missing and we don't like "8" anyways so the answer is never.
San Diego has not been mentioned on any official lists but Ardmore,OK had LTE. All 24,553 humans and 30,000 cows with cell phones. Hope this is not another San Diego 4G WiMax trolling by Sprint.

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.

I received an email a year ago that Portland, OR would have it by the end of 2012. That did not happen, and now Oregon is not even one of the States listed as a market that is getting it. I guess they moved us to phase two or three. Kind of sucks because we were early in the wimax roll out.

I have to travel 30 miles to LA to even get LTE. Orange County is small but very compact. We were one of the first ones to get 4G WiMax but probably last for LTE

Is there a log or something where it shows all the cities that have been announced?

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

Here's a couple speed tests of when I went to GA a couple weeks ago. I got lte 80% of the time. It was nice. Can't wait to get it in NC.

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?

That is pretty impressive. where are you located?

I don't know why, but with my S4 and Note 3 HSPA (4G) I get 27 down and 9 up on average, but on LTE I only get 13 down and 12 up. HSPA seems to be a little faster here in Tampa, Florida than LTE. T-Mobile's HSPA is capable of 42 MBPS and so are the phones. So i keep my phone set at hspa instead of LTE. I also get 4 to 5 bars of signal on 4G and only 1 or 2 on LTE which might explain the speed difference

Just did a test outside near a tower. I got 22 down and 11 up. Pretty decent.

I think they are testing LTE in the Louisville, Kentucky area. LTE hasn't offically been announced, but I'm connected to LTE with 2 bars. I got 9.78 down and 3.34 up which isn't great. On HSPA+ I got 7.15 down and 1.30 up with full bars.
