4G LTE Supposedly on in Houston

**truthteller10** · 06-12-2012, 11:26 PM

Just got off the phone with tech support and the guy whom seemed pretty knowledgable stated that in Houston the 4G LTE work was completed on yesterday and the 3g upgrades were done today at 5pm. So what speeds are you getting in Houston both LTE and 3g?

**kayropr** · 06-13-2012, 10:20 AM

I'm at work and yesterday I was getting 1.1Mbps, today I'm getting 200kbps on 3G so, I think that tech support guy didn't really know what he was talking about... Oh!, No LTE connection either.

My data signal is much worse in my office downtown now so I hope they're just working on it here.

**Matt L** · 06-22-2012, 10:48 AM

oh my god 4G just showed up for me for the first time

I'm getting 3.88 mbps in my 21st floor office. This is incredible!

**Matt L** · 06-22-2012, 11:12 AM

ran 4 more tests and getting 4.8 to 5.2 now

**truthteller10** · 06-22-2012, 12:05 PM

Wow this is great..That means they are going to turn it on real soon..I may just stay with Sprint and wait it out on their network.

**ntorres6** · 06-22-2012, 05:42 PM

Is the 4G LTE still on?

**jaescott** · 06-22-2012, 06:21 PM

It's not in Dallas

**Matt L** · 06-22-2012, 08:00 PM

It's really strange. It only works at my office now and no where else. Not even at street level of my office building.

**Mastertech** · 06-22-2012, 08:37 PM

I haven't seen any 4G in Houston and the 3G I have been getting is horrible.

**guerolonghorn** · 06-22-2012, 09:45 PM

I have been around memorial, galleria, town and Country all day looking for a glimmer of hope. Nada.

back at the office today and no 4G again

**houstonwino** · 06-25-2012, 12:16 PM

Great. You've used it all up before any of the rest of got any. Thanks.

**htc evo 4g** · 06-26-2012, 03:27 PM

According to my sprint rep, 4G will supposedly be active tomorrow here in Houston....keep your fingers crossed.

**houstonwino** · 06-27-2012, 08:02 AM

Okay, it's now tomorrow in Houston. While I am getting fairly impressive 3G performance this morning down by NASA, my face is turning blue from holding my breath on 4G. One odd thing that may (or may not, wtf knows?) indicate that something is up; my 3G indicator is acting strangely. Even while downloading the arrows are staying greyed out, and much of the time the 3G itself is grey.

I think I'll switch from holding my breath to crossing my fingers though.

**htc evo 4g** · 06-27-2012, 12:14 PM

Well today is kinda BS..... like many others, i thought that today would be the official day that Sprint launches their LTE here in Houston (and many other cities). Well today is just a day that they announce the official LTE launch day.....July 15th. ridiculous IMO.

**cowboys2000** · 08-07-2012, 09:31 PM

Sitting in Cypress (NW Houston).

Coverage maps show I am in a strong LTE area (indoors and outdoors).

Nothing the first week it launched. I called TS and they tried many things (restart phone, PRL update,etc.) Nothing. I go into a Local Sprint owned store today and I listen as they sell people of LTE. I politely asked a salesperson and he finally confesses that it was a "soft" launch in Houston and not a FULL launch and that it is available in PARTS of Houston and to be patient.

Uh yeah, there are many people who bought wi-max phones in hopes of full coverage.

I have 3 family lines waiting to upgrade, but I'm not paying the buy a 4G phone and HOPE for coverage game with Sprint.

Update your coverage maps!
