Sorry, should be northeast corner for in Sherman. Compass must be dyslexic today ... LOL

Sorry if this dupes a prior post. Don't know if it went through or my browser just went schizo. Typing this all in a memo and will cut and paste. Springfield map now shows LTE nearly everywhere (very optimistic). I can get mostly LTE coverage from (southwest corner) of Jefferson and Walnut to (northwest corner in Sherman) of Veterans Parkway and I-55 on my new LG G3. Still really spotty through downtown proper, much better on parkways and interstate. Map (at detail level) shows most coverage as 'FAIR' where I can find nothing or very little LTE. Keeping fingers crossed that coverage will actually catch up to map (and maybe surpass it). For those of you that travel to Saint Louis, Spark is nearly everywhere. Have gotten speeds in some places outdoors that are faster than my home network (25 Mbps vs 16 Mbps).

Couple of items. Have used the 'test' Wimax tower in Springfield (now Clearwire tower) for nearly 3 years. It is no longer in service, had to switch to big red for MiFi - bummer (only for work 8-5). Also, have talked with local store Sprint reps several times this year. LTE was first due before summer, then by July, now end of summer (end of September ???). According to reps this is due to Comcast not hooking up fiber for towers (at least in a timely fashion). Am trying to hold off moving to big red for phone service so I can have decent evening data speeds, but not sure how long I can endure at .04 mb speeds. Anyone out ther have a different or more recent update - my last info above is from the end of June.
