To be fair, the Chesapeake, Norfolk, Va Beach area has wonderful (in my experience) 4G coverage and speeds. My parents live in the area, so every time I go down I make sure and map everywhere I go. So far there are very few gaps in the 4G coverage. And where there is no 4G , the 3G seems pretty good. Plus I usually get a chance to compare to Verizon's network because most of my family and friends have it, and Sprint has always compared very well. Shame they can't seem to get the Richmond area going.
