was in st charles today picking up wheels for car and got 6mbps in 4g, tested through laptop. was stoked
 
I was at the sprint store in fenton on saturday and they were telling me that the best 4G signal in St. Louis currently is in Arnold. They have been building out at a fast pace though so that could change at any time.

After seeing reports today of a 4G signal in Fullerton and Rosemead, I turned it on here in Irvine (near Culver/Barranca) and briefly got a "4G Network Available" indication, but it hasn't connected. I guess it's still in the buildout stage here, but maybe by Labor day?

Cool! I live right near the towers at Culver and Barranca in Irvine. I will keep testing every so often. (The tower is next to San Diego Creek by the baseball field at Alton Park.)

Edit: And the next closest Clear tower is on the electric tower next to the 405 at Culver.
 
I've got 1 bar of 4G as we speak in Anaheim off of Ball and Knott. Got a download speed of 1.97mb and 1.2mb upload. Hopefully they start opening up more antennas so I can get a better signal...

**EDIT** My earlier test was flawed. For some reason I was testing off of the Albequerque, NM server. I switched it to the Los Angeles server and scored a 4.34mb download speed! Upload speed stayed the same.
 
I have 4G pop on and off in West Hollywood near Santa Monica and Fairfax. I think they have a tower near La Brea that they test a lot. Cross those fingers!

hey. Do you know if there are any towers in Laguna Beach? Hopefully 4G comes down here.

And we know to believe everything Sprint employees tell us in the stores... like how wired tethering is included for the $10 EVO tax and that all Sprint TV channels are also included. :rolleyes:

The 4G is betting better all the time; it's been acvitve (for testing, presumably) for many, many weeks. They are just now telling people about it.

I'm near Culver and the 5 freeway...have 4g turned on right now but not getting anything. Would make sense 4g has a signal around Culver/Barranca since there's a Sprint store right there. I'll have to see if I can connect on my way to work tomorrow morning since I drive down Culver and go past Barranca...but good to hear people starting to get signal in OC!!

looks like they have done a LOT of expansion down in south county/Arnold area. according to the Clear maps the I-270 hole from 40 South has been pretty well filled in, just gotta get it up and rolling from Manchester up to 40, also looks like some in T&C along 40 from mason over to Timberlake Manor... while I wouldn't say that Arnold is the BEST place for 4g in the metro area, it surely is better than some places. here's hoping the rapid expansion continues and how about adding some east of 255???

One week later and the St Louis 4G map is updated. There is actual coverage on the East Side of the river.

Looks like it is creeping ever so closely to SIUE / Edwardsville!

actually looks like SIUE had 4g at launch, at least per the maps, and the maps was fairly accurate in showing the dividing line down by South County center...
 
I'm getting 4g in parts of Long Beach, Signal Hill, Pasadena, Alhambra etc.. Averaging about 4mb down and 1mb up. I was near JWA the other day and no 4g there yet.
 
I've been getting roughly between 3-7mbps up here in the NW Chicago suburbs. Many areas around me give 4G, but as I drive around I've noticed in some places I'll have full 4G bars but then one intersection later I have none. Mostly I have been well covered and I'm impressed with the downloading speeds, although uploading doesn't seem to be as affected. Hopefully as the network continues to grow I can one day hit the 10mbps mark without wifi!

How did you know you were getting a signal? And how do you test the signal strength? I keep checking Sprint's maps online to see if 4G is anywhere near me with no positive results.
 
I’ve been picking up pockets of 4G in Pittsburgh, PA… on the South Side slopes and over near 51 & The Liberty Tubes in Beechview.
1-2 Bars… 5.38Mbps/1.02Mbps… the best I’ve seen yet.

Really? I'm gonna have to try my 4G on Monday. Thanks for the heads up.

confirmed 4G signal at Valley View and Katella in Cypress. It's VERY weak though, but it could be because I'm inside my office (although I get 5-6 bars of voice signal). I get 0 to 1 bar of 4G signal and my phone turns it off after a bit.

Edit:
Using SpeedTest.NET with a LA server (I know this isn't the most accurate app for testing speed) i get 4.65 down .93 up... not bad

Yeah.. I work at JWA and left my 4G radio on all last week. Nada. I'll let you guys know when I finally see something.

I'm at work, which is near JWA, at Jamboree and the 405 freeway. I have my 4g turned on now and it gives me the notification that 4g network is available. Hasn't been able to connect yet though...
 
I just picked up one bar of 4G at Colony Park in Anaheim (just east of Lincoln and Anaheim Blvd).
 
3 bars of 4G in Buena Park at Pink's in front of Knott's Berry Farm. 4.32mb down, .98 up. Like like it's pretty constant no matter how many bars you're getting. For me anyways. Also, no 4G anywhere in Disneyland....
