4G is on now in Bloomington, IL

[Cubfan]

Don't know if it's a test or what, but I'm getting 4G in Bloomington, IL right now. Fast as all get out. Youtube is like butter.

Hope it's permanent, as I'm finally getting my extra $10 worth.

There's a couple 4G towers up and running around Detroit (or the burbs, I'm not familiar with Detroit).

No one outside of Clear or Sprint brass knows 4G plans.

Best bet is look on clear.com now and again and see. It's the only way we've known about the 2 or 3 towers around turning on during the last couple months.

I've heard rumors of this...where exactly in Bloomington are you able to get this? I can't get it on the South East side (guess where that is ;-)) nor can I pick it up on the border of Bloomington/Normal on the East side....

My coworker reported a weak 4G signal on the west side of Madison WI.

I am SO hoping he's right!!

Working at that big campus where half the town works.

Looks like it is strongest by the Country Club, so the broadcasting tower must be somewhere around there. Didn't get it at all around 9pm, so I'm thinking it may be just a test.

The vendor maps are terrible to see where the 4G coverage is. Often there is coverage in a market for months before it is announced.

Check out the Sensorly app to see your block-by-block coverage. Sensorly maps coverage as users drive. The Sensorly.com online maps has limited zoom levels but you will get the idea. The app is way better.

Lol, got to let my friend know!

I saw the test results between Sprint WiMax and Verizon LTE. What a HUGE difference! LTE absolutely blows Sprint away.
I think that in everyday use by 99% of users that the difference wouldn't be noticeable, though. Maybe for gamers.

No 4G today. Dang. Must've been a test.
