Has anyone done a real-world Spark test?

I may be upgrading, and am in a Spark area, just I've only seen Spark at the store, not in practice. Can anyone in South FL report on the speeds they're getting?

My speed test results were about the same as before but my phone seems way faster. I just got my update today maybe it'll improve in a few days.

And your point? Sprint spark is supposed to be much faster than anything else. T-Mobile clearly wins.

I think the point of this post is to see how real world Spark tests are.. Not make it a competition. If it was a competitive post I'm sure it would be something like "Spark tests vs. T-Mobile".

Try and respect the OP so he can get the results he asked about and not turn it into a carrier war. ;).

Clearly sprint spark is just another gimmick.

Let's see your real world test.
My LTE is just fine.
"Spark" is not a switch that is flipped which then gives everyone instantly fast speeds.
It is a process of them updating all of their towers to broadcast LTE on 3 different bands.
Once it is all up and running across the country, it will be a force to be reckoned with.
Learn it. Know it. Live it.

P.S. No promotional fees were paid for this testimonial. I am Maverick and I approve this message.

Seriously please stop trying to change the OP's post. This isn't a versus... More of a Sprint Spark speed test thread.
