Saw my phone flip over to 4g while walking to get lunch in Van Nes the other day. Seems the 4g coverage is rapidly spreading within DC. Before it only turned on around the white house and union station. Now I'm starting to pick it up even on the edge of the city. And its getting decent speeds. Not as good as my AT&T phone on LTE... but a hell of a lot better than what sprint claims as 3g.
Now need to make it to Arlington.
Looks like you had a marginal signal of LTE with that speed.

4g in LI is a secondary market, but I bet they are already starting to change to Network Vision. The whole Island will have 4G LTE by mid to late 2013. As soon as the NYC market is finished your area will get a LTE bath.
I saw on the S4GRU map that Queens and parts of Hempstead was already being worked on for Network Vision.
yeah ive been hoping those predictions are true... i work in queens and am in NYC often, but haven't had to much 1x experiences there yet...
hear NYC should be by the end of this year, so hopefully wont have too long of a wait...
Dying for some LTE in the city and Bx, my phone is pretty much like a dummy model when I'm at work.

Darn them, talked to a shentel rep (people that control sprint towers where I am) and these lte siting are just the test sites -_- but hey, at least full lte will be out at the end of the year for me at least, but hey for test speed of anywhere from, 8-20mb down?! I can't complain, but hey, I saw the same speeds with my wimax 4g, so to each his own

With Note 2 i get LTE everywhere in Dallas Ft. Worth. Even traveling to other cities through tolls where development is not really there. Just alot of trees. I even get LTE in most people homes. Nexus never had this strong of a signal and if LTE switched the phone would freeze. I can honestly say this is a good phone.

Do you mean normal for Jacksonville or normal for LTE? As far as LTE, I guess it varies...Like I live in a spotty LTE area right now and pull anywhere between 5-9mbps but when I go down near Jerome Ave in the Bronx, I'm always pulling 20's. Today I got 33.29mbps in that same neighborhood. We'll all get there...hopefully sooner than later.

LTE is very signal strength dependent. EvDo RevA's (Sprint's 3G) speeds don't deteriorate unless it reaches a very low signal threshold. Next time you connect to the LTE site at Publix, open up your debugging menu and screenshot the LTE engineering screen and post it here.
With 6mbps, you have a rather low (-110dBm to -115 dBm signal strength). If your signal strength is high, then you should experience better speeds.

Sprint's in a position where they simply don't have the spectrum to deploy anything greater than a 5x5mhz carrier per market. This means LTE speeds will max out at about 38mbps, and even this is under extremely favorable conditions.
But worry not for Clearwire alone has more spectrum than Verizon does, and Clearwire, starting mid-2013 will be deploying LTE advanced on a 20x20mhz carrier! This means speeds will be up to 90mbps. Hang in there because even with Sprint's LTE maxing out at 38mbps, it's still very fast and the best part...unlimited.

But since LTE will be on every tower unlike the other carriers, there will be less people on each LTE carrier than the other guys.
And do you really need higher than 35 megabits on your phone... hell no. I'd be happy with 3 or 4!

A friend of mine that works for BestBuy mobile was told by his Sprint rep that their goal was to have most of the larger cities along the 94 corridor up by the end of q1. I would think that A2 falls in that category.

Yeah, they are testing it now, to be officially "launched" they need 2/3 of the city covered, so when they actually do launch Grand Rapids, it'll be a lot more than just Alpine, and at this point, they could turn it off any day since it's not official

The general thread is 100's of pages long and may or may not be helpful.
Discuss your experience in the Midwest. Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan area. (and any state I left out in midwest)
Recently Chicago near town has jumped from kb speeds to 10+ mb speeds which is/was long overdue.
Still downtown you cant pick up 4g or its spotty if you do at all.
You could just search for your city within that thread and see what comes up, and then post your own experience
