I'm beginning to think my evo lte sucks. I just made it look for lte only and bam 4g signal was over 5mb down on every speed test. Soon as I switch it back it only picks up 3g. Think I'm getting a gs3 tomorrow

I am unsure of what you mean, "when I switch it back". If you turn your LTE radio off, it will, of course, only receive 3G signals.

4 G in West Chicago at route 59 and Route 64. That's a type of Chicago, right?

It's the tower at Powis and Rt 64! The tower off of Munger between Smith and Army Trail is/was LTE today. However, when I get home near St Andrews Golf Course, I am back to crappy 3G and my Airave.

A little taste 0f LTE today at Route 25 & Stearns, Bartlett

I still can't even stream Pandora or Google Music on my commute because the 3g speeds are so slow... I have no idea how they think they can pull off any sort of pre-launch by September 21st. I'm just happy to see they are keeping up the pace, but where I live there has been no improvement over the past few months and it has only gotten worse. Unless the maps are wrong, my hometown area of Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, Carol Stream, West Chicago, area is a blackhole for Sprint.

I agree. I'm in the Oak Meadows area of West Chicago. I used to have a great signal. Now I have none. NONE. NONE. NONE. Sprint CS or their executive offices don't care either. They give me the patented excuse of their NV upgrades and that things will get "better".

Still no improvements in the Winfield, Warrenville, and Wheaton areas in the suburbs. Driving down Winfield road and Naperville road are outstandingly bad because the data signal drops entirely, you can't even get 1x. There are a few random towers here and there that push decent speeds, but the pockets of good and bad make it impossible to stream music on my commutes. It has been really frustrating and more so as I have to continually read about how close we're getting to launching a Chicago market when my service is as bad and spotty as ever.

 

Based on real world experience, I can't imagine the Chicago market launching this year - unless it's a "launch" in name only.

Ah yes, the "black hole" of Winfield!
