I had better luck when roaming was Sprint Only instead of Automatic. I'm heading North this coming Friday night - going Waco, etc. on the way to OK. Now that I know what my Evo LTE can do, I'll be able to compare what I had in Houston to what I get in Waco. Any word on if Austin, TX will be August or September yet?

I went thru Houston on last night and I found EXCELLENT LTE

Just thought I would post where it is. With those speeds, I really can't wait until I get LTE in Austin.

Interested to see where the completed towers in the Austin metro area are, I still haven't seen any movement at the towers in north Austin.

During lunch yesterday I did a speedtest and results were much better than I have been seeing. However, around 3:30 I did the speedtest again and it was back to what I have been seeing. I work in far north Austin around Yager and IH 35.

I was thinking of dropping Roadrunner, and giving Sprint the extra $30 per month after LTE speeds are at my apartment, but with these speeds and UNLIMITED, I'll have to wait and see what the LTE speed is when it gets here.

As a comparison, when the EVO 4G LTE is using Wifi at my apartment (Roadrunner is my ISP) the speedtest is below:

Great article! But on the other hand, perhaps Sprint should NOT have sold ANY LTE devices UNTIL the area was 100%. Then I would still have my original Evo. Sprint could give those in the areas no increased speeds at all a price break. I went to Waco this past weekend (4G city). The part of Waco I was at must not be LTE yet, however the 3G was MUCH faster than it is in Austin proper.
