How is your experience been on Sprint's network? Any LTE access? I'm trying to decide whether to stay with Sprint or go to T-Mobile when I get my new phone.

I'm also currently with sprint using an iPhone 4S. My contract with sprint is ending next month so I'm thinking about going to AT&T or Verizon for the note 3. My reception from Alexandria to DC-l'enfant area has been terrible. I get no reception at work. :(

Yes, I'm in the DMV. I haven't done a lot of testing on the network yet, but from casual inspection, it looks like I can get 4G LTE in some locations but not others. I don't think I get 4G at home, for example, but I'm on WiFi there so it's not a big deal if I don't. So my impression is that the 4G coverage is kind of spotty, but it seems to work fairly well if you can get it.

I'm in Charlottesville VA and there is no lte and the 3g is improving but not the greatest. I stay with sprint because of the cost. I'm hoping that we will see lte sometime soon.

I live in Columbia MD which is technically the Baltimore Market. From what i read the Baltimore Market is 85% complete with their LTE Migration. LTE Reception on the Note 3 has been great so far. I have been in DC, Rockville, Germantown and Dulles. Reception has been great in all those areas. My only concern prior to purchasing the phone is the fact that the Note 3 is not
A Triband Phone. triband is available in Baltimore.

That's promising news to me. I live in Silver Spring. Any info around there?

I live in Springfield, VA, just inside the beltway and I have gotten 4G/LTE for about a year and a half. I don't know about the LTE part, but my phone says 4G/LTE when 4G is on, so... I work at Andrews AFB in Maryland, and also get 4G there, but only on certain parts of the base (it is about 60 square miles)

In Catonsville, MD with Sprint. about 75%, but when I'm in the city, Glen Burnie and Columbia LTE is at full strength.
Getting out of the sticks in March to a better area.
