  1. I've been getting 4g on the south edge of kentwood all week from dutton to cutlerville along 68th street and up 131 to 196 amd down to fuller ave here in GR. However it hasn't been overly fast as it has barely registered over 1mb download speeds in spots and the most I've gotten was 4. And it will barely penetrate into a building like a house and is nonexistant inside a big building. Hope this gets better or it wont be any better than their 3g. Anyway, fyi.
  2. I have "4G" lit up next to the signal bars at M6 and Kalamazoo ave in GR. Speed was only about 3 mbps but im still very excited! Was only 3G this morning. For the past week 3G speed downtown has been usable again too.
  3. Yeah when I was out there earlier this week the second time I noticed it took awhile to switch over to LTE and it really hung on to it for a couple minutes before switching back to 3g when I knew I had already left the area of the LTE so I had no data for a couple minutes. However the good news is once it's all up and running there will be no need to switch unless you leave the major areas. Thanks for the post that helps, maybe it was working then and I just didn't know it lol. Anyway it'll come in handy as the sites go live over the next few weeks/months.
  4. I was out by Metro tonight after work and picked up LTE on M6 about a half mile before I got to the Byron Center Ave exit. I was only there briefly but did some quick speed tests. Mostly got anywhere from 2-5 mbps but I did hit over 16 on one speed test which is attached. I didn't have sensorly on my phone but I have to go back out there in the morning and if I remember to I'll turn it on and drive around if I have time.
  5. Appreciate the welcome. I'm sitting in a big brick building on the west side of town right now (Wyoming) getting 2.08 mbps on 3g which to me is more than acceptable. If I could get that consistently I'd be very happy. There has to be something wrong with that downtown tower to consistently be getting under 200 kbps though.
  6. Hello everyone, found this forum today and read thru this thread. Just came back to Sprint after two years with Verizon (missing LTE bad) to save money and keep unlimited data while upgrading my phone. I work near downtown GR and have had almost unusable data speeds for two weeks. Been talking to Sprint care on twitter daily about it and they are checking into data issues at the tower in that area (which I'm pretty sure is a block away) and every day I'm assured they are looking into it. We shall see, I get anywhere from .5-2+ mbps on 3g at home (south of GR). So if I find LTE or a sudden increase in 3G speeds anywhere I'll let you guys know. Check out this screen shot from today's speed test from near downtown.
