My friends Sprint S3 got 280k/Bs sitting in my living room yesterday. She said " Is that good?" I kinda laughed to myself and said heck yes. After that I was hitting over 100k/Bs on a constant basis. Perhaps our patience is finally going to pay off.

You guys are making me jealous. Here is a speed test I just ran in Memphis, TN.

Set it to show k/Bs. Gives a better indication of speed. Fear not though, the speeds I'm tackling about are coming from right around the other side of your state.

That's terrible speed. Stay strong man, it will get better. Make sure to keep your data profile up to date as well too ensure the best possible speeds.

Sprint 4g LTE is a joke in San Antonio. My wimax Evo 3d used to get an average of 3mbps at work and home. Sometimes peak at 9mbps. I got my SGNote 2 Monday and my speeds have been 200-300 kbps on 4g LTE. I would time out trying to log into this forum or even trying to hit the Play Store. I don't even get an LTE signal at my house which is between 2 wimax 4g towers. Now I read Sprint mvno clients Boost and Virgin are throttling heavy users with unlimited data plans. Is it true if Sprint changes terms of my contact then I can cancel all 4 lines of service after 13 years and go to att or Verizon without early termination fees?

Well first off, you are saying some interesting things. The woman towers have very little to do with the lte stuff unless the are due to get upgraded. When they announce that an area has lte, it doesn't mean it is done, very far from it. They usually announce at like forty percent complete. I won go to sensorly . com and see if your house is covered and at what strength. You may be at the very edge like I am. When I hit a good area, I get as good if not better speeds than when I was with Verizon. Are one 20 down or so.

Next, boost and virgin changing policies have nothing to do with your sprint contract. If you are on boost, you may be able to get out of it. But sprint just rents the bandwidth to them.

Actually, the Wimax towers have nothing to do with LTE. Any Wimax towers are Clearwire's towers. LTE is not being added to Clearwire's towers. It's being added to Sprint's towers. Clearwire's towers may be upgraded to 2500MHz LTE in the future, but not as part of Network Vision.

The point I was making is that sitting at my desk with 3 to 4 lte bars I still only get 50-500 kbps. My 4g connection goes in and out (4 bars down to 3g) like a Prairie dog in his burrow without me moving my phone 1 inch. They are supposed to reach "full" 4g LTE coverage in San Antonio by June of next year. We shall see, but I am hopeful.

Except that Sprint bought Clearwire and those towers are now theirs so I am kinda guessing they will be part of NV

Sprint buys Clearwire for $2.2 billion | ZDNet

Except the deal isn't final yet and your phone doesn't support LTE-TDD when they start converting the towers from wimax to LTE. Next year.

The signal bars don't gauge lte signal. That's your voice signal
