digiblur Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have a question... I got a signal inside my house right now. (I'm still connected as well) So I left my phone in the same spot and decided to run some speed tests on my laptop that's tethered to my LTE connection. I'm in a south suburb of Chicago, when I see what server it's connecting to for the speed test it's in Kansas City. I got like 10mbps when I ran the tests, but the upload speed is slow. Any reason it's connecting to a tower so far away? That's not the tower. That's the server the speed test thinks is the closest due to the ip address location. Pick the server you want.

rlesr Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sitting in South College Station, TX and they are playing with LTE on HO54XC799 because I normally get 121kbps to 712kbps download and 38kbps to 843kbps upload on speedtest. Twice today I have gotten 4G designaztion and 5193 & 6182kbps download and 4068 and 3980kbps upload. In between it drops to 3G and the same slow speed. At least it is coming to the hinterlands finially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I can confirm that they are working on a tower in south College Station behind Whataburger on Rock Prairie. I took a picture (will post later tonight after work). I've also been seeing some intermittent LTE in and around the B/CS area from College Main and S College all the way to past William D Fitch.

theslacker29 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Doesn't Hurt to have that kind of Internet speed! I was up on Illinois Rd (sr14) coming into Fort Wayne and recieved probably the fasted speedtest I ever had... Hope the picture comes out to be legible. The screen shot takes great pics but when I send them, they come out fuzzy. 33.74/DL & 12.78/UL. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treedude1992 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Got a solid 4G connection from the south end of College Station to about half way to Navasota. It could have been further into College Station, but I just happened to be look at my phone , will report more later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPuddin Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I finally got a 4G connection around the U Street corridor in Washington DC today. I was driving through 13th and U (NW) and knew there was supposed to be an updated tower in the area, flipped my Evo LTE into and out of airplane mode and got the fabled 4G. I wish I lived closer to the area, but hopefully soon enough Sprint will light up some more towers. They're sending me an airave in the meantime which is great because my phone is essentially unusable in my neighborhood right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gd224 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Briefly got 4G LTE in Bowie, MD while at breakfast. Speeds were 15-25 mbps. However I back down to 3G at my house. So does Western Anne Arundel County, MD fall under the DC or Rockville rollout? Edited November 25, 2012 by gd224 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Here's some pics of them working on a tower off FM 2154 in College Station yesterday. I think the tower number is 7873. That's what Field Test was telling me. I also noticed I no longer have eHRPD now that they are working on it, I'm back to Evdo RevA. Sorry for taking so long to get pics up. Had to find a way to shrink the file size to upload so sorry if they are small pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to post pictures is to find an external host, such as flickr or photobucket and then link back here. I can't tell if that is even a Sprint tower from those images.

merkurfan Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Ok.. I know. I am in Minnesota. I recently rooted my phone.. And for about half an hour.. I wish I knew what part of the root made the 4g work and what got pushed to the phone to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I knew what part of the root made the 4g work and what got pushed to the phone to stop it. ROOT did not make 4G work and nothing got pushed to the phone to stop it. Probably just typical issues with the htc evo lte. Toggle airplane mode to get lte to work (unless its already being blocked by sprint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
