Really? Perhaps it's just where I work... (Arlington.)

I really don't like being in the DC market with Sprint, we're so far behind. Heck, my calls always get dropped and have choppy audio due to poor building penetration and not enough spectrum.

I never go through Pentagon City or Crystal City, at least not above ground, but I have solid B41 (and B25) on the Metro starting when I exit the tunnel at DCA all the way until I get to about Potomac Yard when it cuts over to towers further south.
There are definitely a number of towers in this area that have not been upgraded, even from 3G, but there is Spark service in the area from a number of towers. I'm on it at home and at Beacon Hill, at work in DC, on the Yellow Line bridge across the Potomac, and near DCA on the Metro. The only places I'm not on LTE at all are at Rose Hill Shopping Center and in the Metro tunnels where I'm on 3G, and the only places I'm not on Spark are near King Street and Braddock Road Metro stations, which do have B25/B26 LTE. (The Braddock Road B26 holds on all the way through the tunnel north of Braddock Road, even.)

I can confirm from my digging that two towers have B41 LTE, and I think the B26 is still being optimized. Pretty sure the sites are awaiting backhaul, too because I never go above 10 mbps on the B41, although back in December I hit 60 mbps.
North DC area is a lot better, was up there to visit family, hit B41 almost the entire time. Speedtested 58 mbps and in the 50 range very often for miles.

Sprint updated their coverage maps today to make D.C. market show as a live LTE market.
It's funny because the coverage now wraps around Frederick MD like it a hole.
Gonna be pissed off if so, because in Pentagon City and Crystal City, LTE coverage is only at one bar except for maybe, one intersection. Huge problems with congestion, and B26 doesn't even reach as far as B25
