Re: What speeds & how good is coverage?

They call it 4G, but what real life speeds are users getting and how widespread is coverage in the areas Sprint say they are in.

For example, coverage in Philly metro area is fairly limited to most parts of the city, but almost no suburbs where most of the metro population lives.

4G Wimax in BLUE:

The coverage in the Triad (Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point) and surprisingly, some pretty rural areas, is identical to what Clearwire covered with their Pre-WiMax service. That's about 2 hours of drive-time east to west represented on the map. Their 4G+3G unlimited plan at $70 is an extremely good deal. If one wanted to, you could use the 4G at home, then take it on the road and fall back to 3G when 4G wasn't available.

Not bad. It looks like they are already seeing upstream congestion though. A 50% fluctuation in bandwidth is pretty dramatic.
