Official 4G/WiMAX Coverage Areas

Again I got that 4G signal on my way home. It started at Pennock Ave and McAndrews Rd. and since I turn down Galaxie Ave on my way home it lasted longer today then yesterday... almost to Cty Rd 42. It was a very weak signal but it was a signal. Now my question is... How far will one towers signal go?
I got a signal pretty much from Galaxie to Pilot Knob while cruising Mcandrews. Then once i hit mcandrews after pilot knob it disappeared.

Seeing my first 4g made me giddy as heck.

Ok, so I picked up 4G today by 2 different friends houses and guess what? Each of them lived within 3 blocks of Sprint stores. One off Tustin and Meats in Orange and one off La Palma in Buena park by Knotts. The signal dropped when I drove about a mile one way or the other. I think its obvious Sprint is making sure 4G works around their stores so they can show off 4G. Seems to be the only place I can get it to work.

Well yesterday I had 4G here in Orange. Today its 3G only.
Lets see if they turn it back on soon. On my way to work I went through
the zones in Irvine others reported 4G signals. Like Jamboree and Alton.
I didnt get a notification of 4G anywhere. So maybe they turned the entire
4G network off this morning ? Bummer.

Update.
I rebooted my phone at work and its back. Nice 2 Bar "Good" signal.
