How is everyone else in the ATL doing with their 4G?

I'm in Dunwoody and currently on Verizon but I've pre-ordered the HTC One from Sprint. Does anyone have experience with Sprint's network in the Perimeter/Dunwoody area?

Welcome.
Sprint's 4G LTE coverage is getting better and better every day.

So what exactly is sensorly? Is it a crowd sourcing deal where people run an app on their phone that tracks where they get reception? It looked like the main roads in my area were all light purple indicating at least some LTE reception.

Yep. Everything you see for coverage is user submitted. Users run sensorly and hit submit and it takes data from their phone (if they are on 3g, 4g wimax, LTE, how good the signal is, etc) and maps it out. This way you get actual data of where people picked up that signal. It's a very nice website / app.

It's at the point where everywhere I am on a regular basis I get awesome lte coverage. That being said service when I travled to New England left a lot to be desired.

I see that the Sprint 4G LTE Atlanta/Athens rollout is now at 70% completion. I'm now getting LTE literally everywhere I go. I'm really happy with how Sprint has rolled out LTE in the Atlanta area.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. As someone who doesn't travel often I'm not overly concerned about non-Metro Atlanta coverage and it sounds like that is getting close to rock solid now. I can't wait to get that shiny new HTC One in my hands next week! Is anyone else getting one?

I am gonna hold out for the Galaxy S4, but the HTC is also a very nice phone.

Yes, I picked my HTC One up at the store on the 19th. I'm super happy. I passed my Evo 4G LTE to my friend. Hanging out in Atlanta, I noticed the new HTC One grabs onto 4G quicker and remains on 4G longer.

I switched from Verizon to Sprint and the HTC One last week. The HTC One is freakin' awesome. I live in Dunwoody and the Sprint data coverage at home is TERRIBLE! I don't get any 4G in my neighborhood and the 3G is like dial up. Thankfully I use WiFi at home and only really use data when walking the dog. Now around Perimeter and downtown where I work the LTE coverage is strong and I often get speeds in the 10Mbps - 20Mbps range. Overall the pros of unlimited data, cheaper plan and awesome phone that Verizon doesn't have outweigh the con of terrible data speeds in my neighborhood.

Welcome to the club. are you in a launched market? If not then the LTE at your house / neighborhood should be fixed in time.
