I know everyone wants to know about their town. But, I'm pretty much about to jump ship from Sprint after 10 years. First, Motorola screwed me by announcing last year they wouldn't be upgrading my less than a year old Photon to ICS or JB. So, then I was eligible for an upgrade in September, but since Sprint hasn't delivered or even announced LTE in St Louis, I would lose my existing 4g (wimax) if I bought a new phone. We were pretty early on wimax, but now little towns are getting LTE with no mention of St Louis yet. And, the 3g has gone downhill, I used to get around 1.3mb down on 3g, and now it's more like 700k. So going back to 3g, even temporarily, is not an acceptable.
I've reviewed AT&T's coverage maps for LTE and it seems to be pretty strong. The rep at Best Buy right by my house installed Speedtest on his AT&T Note II for me and ran a speed test and got around 24mb down.
So, I guess my questions are when will we see LTE in St Louis? And, even if it were tomorrow, would it be another year before the coverage was even complete/decent? Because it sure looks like AT&T is there now. I would be willing to give Sprint a few more months, but not if it will be spotty when it is delivered. And, if we haven't even been mentioned, it leads me to believe we could be looking at mid to late this year at best.
