I won't be getting it any time soon BUT I like seeing that they are proactively letting folks know when it's happening. Did you subscribe to LTE alerts on the site or something?

gonna need a LTE/NetworkVision rollout sticky thread at this rate maybe...
here is where the info came from btw...
http://insidesprintnow.wordpress.co...lanta-dallas-houston-and-san-antonio-markets/
its just a txt saying you can expect it sometime this summer. lol
nothing to run home about as none of it is new info at all....they have already stated before those markets are the first ones to "officially" get it turned on and said they would be in this time frame....
If you guys want to really learn a thing about the NetworkVision rollout and tech behind it.......head on over to S4GRU.com and the link in my sig....more info there than anywhere else by far.
I was hoping Honolulu, Hawaii would get it some time soon since we had Wimax pretty early.

Thousands of employees do receive this memo..... Just sometimes reps are kept out of listings lol so that why your misinformed most of the time by csr..
edit: didn't mean you in particular more as "you" as all customers in general.
Pains me knowing it will be till the end of the year or sometime next year before I see LTE.
Why is Sprint rolling out LTE in Texas prior to Overland Park?
Sprint whyyyyyy?

never said one thing about being misinformed......dunno where you got that from...
just said this isn't nothing to jump about really as its not them saying anything "new" that they haven't already said...more likely its to remind those customers what they said really now that LTE devices are flying out the door and nothing official has been said to be "live" yet.

Ericsson being Sprints full time site maintenance since Sprint no longer does it themselves....
you doing RF i dont even want to guess what you know. lol
My dad used to be a technician for Sprint. He lost his job due to downsizing by Ericsson. It's a shame because he was probably their best technician in the DFW area. Several of his fellow technicians would call him if they needed help.
I'm pretty sure the WiMax roll out is no indication of how LTE will roll out. Sprint used Clearwire's in-place WiMax network as their 4G network. I was lucky enough to already have Clearwire in this area. The only tangible advantage I had was the fact it was faster than public wifi. I don't expect LTE to reach Wichita Falls for at least a year.

Don't mean to be "that" guy but let me start from the beginning...4g is not in every area. Progression is being made throughout the country as we speak. The 4g fee you mentioned is a smartphone fee that everyone pays. You are paying for premium data which is a mandatory add on. It is required to be a customer. It is not a 4g fee. And to top it off Verizon is not sprint. Same thing with t mobs and att...different carriers have better/worse coverage in different areas. So yes I'm sorry you have no 4g but I was, including millions of other customers, in the same boat as you. Sorry for being that "guy"
Where in Suffolk? I live in Nassau, and dont see 4G yet, but I also havent tried in weeks... hmmm

Troll alert!! I'm gonna be 'that OTHER guy and say, wow! It's hard for me to understand how the USA has such mediocre 4G coverage. My Canadian carrier (Rogers) has 90% of the population covered by 4G.
What really surprises me is that Rogers has accomplished this without charging any sort of premium. The ten dollar fee they're charging you seems ridiculous to me... Are they justifying this by saying it's going towards upgrading towers? Enlighten me! I'm paying the exact same price now that I was paying for my older 3G device.
The other thing is population density. Canada has a tenth of the population of our southern neighbors, spread out over a much larger land mass. This means that Canadian wireless networks have a fraction of the customer base, compared to American carriers (thus a fraction of revenue coming into their pockets to perform upgrades) Yet, as I stated earlier, they've managed to get almost the entire populated areas covered.
Where I live, I'm far from any major urban center. It's unfathomable to me that people living in the heart of New York are being left in the dust!
I'm not saying this to be an arse or to one-up you or anything like that. I'm truly sympathetic. I hope your carriers shape up and get you guys covered!
Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world

If I remember correctly it was started with the original Evo. Other smartphones (my Touch Pro 2, and the Intrepid and Centro we had on our plan) didn't pay the premium. Then there were rumblings of a class action lawsuit because Sprint was charging $10 a month for a service that only a fraction of their customers could get. So then Sprint changed it to all smartphones, but we were grandfathered in on our phones until we changed to Android.

It says they will be ready by 2014, but with no specific rollout dates for my area, Michigan, I will be switching to Verizon in the next few months, once they get a nest gen phone like the One X or something similar. Verizon has had working 4g for over a year in my area now. There's no way I'm waiting another 2 years to get it here, and have dial-up speed 3g in the meantime. I gave Sprint 12 years of my business, and I hate to leave, but in today's world data is everything, and I need that to be able to do my job.

Man I am so stoked. Just as I am about to give up hope with this pitiful company, there COULD be [email protected] of the tunnel,& coming Lil sooner then I imagined.
I am in port Huron, mi. That is on the 2 round list. Our 3g is like non existent. Im lucky to get .47/down.
The sad parts:
- I live ON the water across river is Canada industrial district. I'm on there towers ALOT. Out here everyone roams there cause they push out more then us. Only affects sprint customers though.
- There is a working 4g WIIMAX tower about a mile down the road, that only pushes out to about 4 blocks.

Yeah it's been posted here many times on this forum. But yeah it will be great when sprint rolls out the 800mhz network.
Perhaps we will have to wait for a quarterly report from the company. It would be interesting to see how many EVO 4G users returned, how many pre-orders they had, and if it was what they anticipated.

A LTE phone without a network? Yeah sells are going through the roof Get in line, suckers.
I doubt they will. Sprint's timing of this phone launch wasn't ideal.
First they launched after the One X, which stole some thunder first. Then they launched it before their LTE went live despite having 4g LTE in its name. So I think Sprint is going to be a little disappointed with their numbers.
Hopefully Sprint can turn on their LTE network ASAP and start recapturing those EVO 4G contacts set to expire.

THE evo og was sold out everywhere and there was no reliable 4g.. and funny it seems there was enough preorders to make wirefly and amazon have it on backorder now
Was gonna post this earlier but i fell asleep after work this morn. lol but anyway i headed to work as usual around 9 to make my shift. I turned on my pandora and now that i think about it it loaded alot faster than it normally does on 3G (when its not congested) anyway a song came on that i wanted to thumbs down and change when i unlocked the phone i noticed it had 4G service. Which was a BIG surprise to me as sprint is very slow to upgrade anything around any area i ever live in lol. but i'd say bout a 4th of a mile down the rd it dissappeared and i didnt get it anymore. On the way home i also search around that spot and i never reconnected. Now i know that Verizon has LTE here and AT&T is suppose to (never actually seen it) is it possible that sprint is stepping up its game? sprint is suppose to have wimax here and in my home town of Madisonville KY as per the site and on my 3D i could never connect at all to this day. I know that we have like 6-9 upgrades coming to the system on the site but that has said that for awhile. so my question is how did this happen? Could i pick up verizons and once it realized it was a sprint phone it booted it? or is there any explanation anyone can give to how it happend and how i can get it to happen again?
Where is Evansville were you able to find it? I think the Evo is only able to get LTE on the 1900 band while Verizon's is on 700, so I don't think it's possible to roam on theirs.
I was up there for awhile last year and surprised at how well covered they with WiMAX.

It was either there or another site....it was a month or so ago.... but maybe there cause i dug alot because i was pissed we never got fully functioning wimax and i figured we would get shafted. I remember looking at the map and thought why would they put it there since its Evansville. Ha ha ha.

hah, yeah Evansville does usually get the shaft but iirc they actually are a test market for a few things though. I just double checked on clear's website and it looks like wimax should still be working there too. It's usually impossible holding a signal on the outside of their coverage areas but my Evo 3D has no problems holding 4G, and the antenna on it was slightly worse than my original Evo 4G.

I just don't get why they are rolling LTE in so many smaller cities. Goshen and Elkart Indiana are on the list, but not Portland, Ore. I guess they are finally adding Chicago.
It probably makes more sense to not overload the system with a glut of users from the most populated cities, but it would make sense that most users are in those cities so you should make them happy.
At this point I just hope they add Portland before next year.
thanks for sharing the link
No love for us west coast users, as usual.

Well you woulda have thought with all the major events that come to Indy and have in the past few years like Superbowl, Indy 500, Brickyard, Final Four, Sweet 16, Next gen comic con or whatever its called and a host of other things we woulda had functioning WImax years ago but we only got partially functioning before they made the switch to LTE. Its Sprint....that should be all thats needed to be said! lol I feel your pain though....I totally expected us to be late next year for LTE.
Feels like Denver isn't of any importance to sprint whatsoever :'(. Still waiting for some type of news and nothing.

Of course even in the cities where they already "have coverage", it's so sparse it does very few people any good.
I'm north of Dallas, and there's one zone I drive through maybe once a week where I can get 4g for a minute or two.
But if they put 1 LTE cell each in several more cities they can hype how many cities they've now gone live in.
They got till June 2013 to get 4G in my area or i'm out...I dont even see Orlando on that list of current cities that are under way but Palatka Florida is lol,WTFBBQSAUCE!..That honkey ass town dont even know what LTE is...
Sorry if i offended any honkeys but if you know Palatka FL then you know im right.
Places like the huge metropolises of Tupelo, MS and Kerrville, TX are listed yet still nothing for Denver, CO.

I was looking at this some what similar list and it wasn't there http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2382
But cool none the less but Palatka is still a honkey ass town that should be on the very end of any LTE list
Lancaster, SC is the only SC sight I've seen yet. This is BS!

Yeah, there's a difference there, and I'm not sure why. Orlando should be one of the first getting worked on. It's already been announced before this.

I drive all over the state and look non stop every day from Jacksonville down to Ft. Lauderdale and never even see a crane or anything working on a tower like you see from users on the s4gru site.
I hope they are working on it man and I hope we get some love in Apopka this time.Never really got Wimax up here north of the 429
Hell Yeah ...... Knoxville, TN within next 3-6 mths
about damn time.....
My area looks to be getting some love soon.
