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.

Ill let you know tomorrow.
I work in NE Dallas and go thru 75 and NW HWY.
Ill try to remmeber to keep my EVO LTE out and see if it picks up 4G.
I know at my office near Skillman/Abrams i get 4G but its sporatic and doesnt hold long.
I also live near down town, close to baylor hospital and have yet to connect to 4G there.
EDIT: To add to this, if anybody with a GS3 is in NE Dallas and wants to compare signals and speeds EVO LTE to GS3 let me know.. I have been wanting to do this.
Just got this one today, same place, different speeds

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

Or Addison or anywhere in between Downtown Dallas and Addison.
I do think there is a technical issue and LG8 will help. Sprint can't be this incompetent.

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.
Just noticed, today that there's LTE in Ft. Myers area now around colonial and i75 all the way to the bridge heading to Cape Coral.
And in Cape Coral around the Santa Barbara and Veterans area there's LTE also.
Guess ATT is expanding
And the speeds are pretty awesome also
Anyone else around this area?

Good to hear they spreading LTE fast. I got lte signal from my place to my work. Northside Chicago to Ohare Airport. Got the same speed as you but usually 16-25Mbps is the highest Ive ever seen so far.
Where I live in ny gets lte late feb ):

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.

At least it's in Minnesota! I heard December for up here (Forest Lake) and still not getting it. I've gone this long without it so it's not a big deal but I'd be nice if they could stick to what they said. Almost February now and nothing! I update my profile almost daily.

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.

Lte is available in Portland and some random town a few blocks from where I work here in Washington state.
Btw Porto Rico is nearly completely covered with lte... Is anyone in that country even wealthy enough for an lte device? I didn't even know sprint was available there lol

Wtf kind of ****ery statement is that?! I'm 100% Puerto Rican and although I was born and raised here in the states I travel a lot to PR. I have a good job in the medical field and can afford an lte device. In fact I have three on my account right now with two wimax devices. That statement is a bit offensive bro..
I'll just leave this here for you.

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 will be awesome to be getting it soon. If it's anything like Sprint's WiMax deployment back in 2008 in South Florida, then I wouldn't get your hopes up too early. That crap was so spotty.

I'm in Tampa but I am also new to t mobile. I get fantastic 4g speeds. They are not quite as fast as Verizons lte speeds but a hell of a lot better than what I was getting with sprint.

I got 0LTE For about 10 seconds when driving past the Orange County Convention Center to work yesterday. I've been using GSM/WCDMA though as every time I use LTE/GSM/WCDMA I get no data around the i-drive area or its very choppy all the way from Discovery Cove to OCCC. But I had it enabled yesterday... :/

Typically Tampa is just used as the catch-all name for our area so I would expect that we'd be covered in Pinellas County too.

I have the TMo GS4. I didn't have fast.tmobile in my APN settings and added it but still no LTE. I guess it's extremely incremental, right now, for our area.
Also, I'm running the Wicked V2 ROM and on a prepaid plan (says offers up to 5GB at 4G speeds). I don't know if any of those two things would be a factor.
