Wow... I was driving through a not-heavily populated area in Houston and picked up a random 4G LTE connection... I had full strength and decided to run a speed test while the tower was within range...

I'd say 21Mbit down is pretty impressive... too bad getting a signal is so hard

Haha. So I've seen one (EDIT: Two!) (EDIT: Four!) LTE site in operation... they are funny ones though.

I can access the sites on the 15th floor of my office building, anywhere else in Houston I don't get any LTE service. It seems like Sprint has the tower antennas angled to not cover the ground... maybe part of testing?

It's pretty fast though
