I agree about Sprint needing to have Tri band LTE phones this year. My upgrade eligibility is in June and if they don't have a tri bank LTE phone by then, I will just wait. It will be tough to wait, but I would rather wait a month or two if that means I will have tri band.

I found this "BUFFALO CELL TOWER" near the Colorado/Wyoming border when we were head to the Black Hills of South Dakota. I always like when they get creative with Cell towers!!! http://i.imgur.com/dDoNE.jpg

I have had the same speed results of 400 - 600 kbps on the 3G tower near my house. We do have towers in the area with 4G Wimax, but unfortunately the tower near my house is only 3G. I do agree that at night my speed results go up to 1000 -1200 kbps late at night. I also realize this tower most likely won't get 4G Wimax at this point. Just yesterday and today I noticed there were a couple of pickup trucks next to this tower near my house and the gate was open to access the tower. This tower is literally in a residential neighborhood and sits between several houses. I am pretty sure the tower was built there first and then the subdivision was built around it. Well I was doing speed test yesterday and last night and everything seemed the same, except tonight now my phone will display me connecting on 1X and NOT 3G. I am guessing they probably disconnected the 3G equipment and are in the process of upgrading it. Just a guess. I also noticed that the tower looks like it already has the upgraded antenna installed. They look similar the one's I have seen posted on these forums. Hopefully they will get that upgraded equipment installed soon and I can post my 3G results when they are finished. I am using my HTC EVO 3D and know that I won't be able to benefit with LTE, but if they can improve the 3G speeds, I will be happy until I upgrade next year around this time with a new LTE phone.
