Official 4G/WiMAX Coverage Areas

I'm in Erie.

In general, how do the CO folks feel about Sprint Coverage? I'm on T-mobile and haven't really had a problem except for when I'm coming out of Longmont and I'd get a dropped call every now and again on 287 and Hwy 52 (not always).

I also realize that the lower frequency can penetrate walls better. I do need the hotspot at home feature that Tmob offers and it's been great, but I'd like to not have to necessarily depend on it as much.

Just weighing my options and was waiting to see if 4G was making its way to the area soon.

I'm in Martian Acres as we speak. Good to be home!
Too bad there was no 4G waiting for me.

Bah - bummer - SOON!

Like I said in the other thread, I KNOW there is a ClearWire tower on my building (downtown Louisville - I doubt it would reach our part of Boulder - but I'm not sure) that appears to be all plugged in a ready to rock. I'm assuming I'll see more tech activity around the time they turn it on. Hopefully I'll get my EVO tomorrow to be able to see when it comes live.

I'm picking up my Evo today from Best Buy at 330. I will be testing 4g today in North County for anyone interested. I will post the 4G results on this thread. I wish we could create some type of listed to compile all the areas everyone has tested...hm may be I will start something and everyone else can copy and past as they add on areas?

Tested 4G Areas:
S.W. STL: 2.2 download, 1.0 upload

4G areas to be tested:
DownTown STL (Busch)
N. County
S. County
W. County
East of the River

I'm in the Fenton area and the guy at the Sprint store said his dad works for Clearwire so he had some info on it. He said that they have about half of the towers setup in St Louis already but he doesn't expect it to be official or fully functional until August. He said I may be able to tap onto some 4g here and there before then but it won't be reliable, widespread, or quite as fast yet.

drove down colfax on my way to brunch today. i did get a fleeting 4g signal (Sprint, and it assigned me an IP even) by Colfax & Logan. I thought it'd be stronger downtown. nope. no 4g signal at all downtown. no clue where the tower is then...
