4G is Live in Washington, DC

Geez, even in areas they say have coverage, it's really spotty. Look at Richmond, VA, which became "official" yesterday. There's almost as much area not covered as covered.
I can get a week signal (1 indicator) at work in Tysons Corner

According to the map, my house near Reston is in a covered area. I get 1 bar on the 2nd floor of my house but nothing on the 1st floor. If this is what Sprint calls 4G coverage, we've got a lotta years left before you can count on having it everywhere you go, even in "completed" cities.

"What is the difference between Best CLEAR Coverage and CLEAR Coverage?
If your address falls in our Best CLEAR Coverage, CLEAR should work well in your home and office, and on-the-go virtually anywhere in the CLEAR coverage area. With Best CLEAR coverage, you can take advantage of any of our service plan offerings. If your address falls in CLEAR Coverage, you can use CLEAR out and about in your city, but indoor performance may be highly variable. With CLEAR coverage, you are only eligible for our on-the-go plans."

I just looked through the entire U.S. coverage map and there wasn't a single city that falls under "Best CLEAR Coverage". So much for using 4G indoors. Guess we're going to go have to sit in a park somewhere to take advantage of it.

Maybe they updated it since June 1st, but most of DC has the "best clear coverage." I even received a mailing saying that I qualify for indoor and mobile services.

Here is the actual 4G that real users have mapped with the Sensorly app for coverage around Washington DC:

We will be staying in the area next month. Does anyone drive south on 95 who could use Sensorly to check for signals south of DC? Or out past Gaithersburg?

Yes, I know what Sprint claims on their 4G maps but we know from the Sensorly maps how inaccurate the Sprint maps are...

Thanks!

I am checking but new towers seem to be coming on...

Sensorly is showing new 4G towers at least in testing on south 395, 95, and 244.
