Official 4G/WiMAX Coverage Areas

I know there is already a thread about 4G in Orlando, but lets be honest, Tampa Bay deserves it's own thread :D

I decided to turn on my 4G radio on the way to work this morning and see what i picked up. On my drive from Pasco to St. Pete via 275 I got full bars of 4G from Busch to MLK on 275, and then from downtown all the way down the Howard Franklin Bridge on 275! When I was crossing the bay the signal wavered, but I was able to stream my slacker radio the whole time!!!

Sadly, still no 4G reception up in Pasco... but I'm still holding out hope!!

Anyone else starting to pick up 4G in the bay area? (I use the term loosely to include hillsborough, pasco, pinellas etc)

Screenshot or pics of the test(s)?

FWIW it's long been reported that Sprint/Clear has the upstream capped at 1mbps. Curious if they've forgotten or are doing away with that...?

It's usually that way during beta testing as soon as its finalized the cap comes into play..

During the updates in Atlanta when they were adding back haul, we got 30 down and 5 up for 2 days I cried a lil bit when they capped it.

The needle would just pin on the mobile speedtest on the EVO

They are suppose to increase speeds by 25-30% soon I am hoping the cap goes up on the upload side a bit

After reading this thread I decided to turn on my 4g toggle and while I was driving to pick up my kids... BAM... I received a 4g signal in Apple Valley. It was at McAndrews and Cedar Ave where I got full bar service at. Of course weaker further way from that cross section.
No shit, I work at Sams in AV. Ill have to try that tomorrow. Thanks bro.

I am able to pick up 4g in Altamonte and Maitland, but no 4g where I live at in Longwood . I understand its in a testing phase now , but is this a sign of things to come ? Are only a few towers tested during this phase ?

Also outside my building at work in Maitland I get an Excellent , but inside nothing. Can 4g penetrate inside buildings at all ? You would figure since I'm getting excellent 4g I outside I would get something at least inside.
