| Re: clear in nyc? You do know that there is Clear in NYC. I have the iSpot and I've had it working downtown, uptown, hells kitchen, east side, but for some reason I get no signal in and around Rockefeller center.
It also works in Jersey City, Union City, North Bergen, Newark, Bayonne and alongside the NJ Turnpike. | |

| | | Re: At least they're doing *something* Access around downtown up to campus in Columbus now as well. Not official but it's been slowing rolling out over the past few weeks. | |
|
| | | | Re: At least they're doing *something* so would u say from lane ave south to short north has coverage? | |
|
| | | | | Re: At least they're doing *something* There is a map online that shows the coverage as people download the app and it uploads the data. i don't recall the name though but its been said on here many many times. | |

|
| | Cleveland 4G is up in parts of Cleveland around downtown as well | |

Minneapolis, MN | Downtown Minneapolis Coverage I just looked at clears coverage map and there is a giant whole over Downtown Minneapolis. I hope the 100,000+ people who work downtown don't need higher speeds. This seems like a major oversight for sprint/clear that I hopes gets fixed soon. | |

Minneapolis, MN | Re: Downtown Minneapolis Coverage I noticed that too. It's rather blotchy coverage for an urban environment. | |

| | WiMAX I guess it could be called 4G. | |

1 edit | SE Michigan How about Southeast Michigan? Havent we suffered enough here? To top it off its one of the top 10 largest metro areas in the country.
At least tomorrow I'll be working in Grand Rapids with full 4G from Sprint on my Overdrive. | |
|
| | | Re: SE Michigan You won't see anything in Grand Rapids until they finally kill their network partner there. | |

| | | | Re: SE Michigan said by hottboiinnc:You won't see anything in Grand Rapids until they finally kill their network partner there. Huh? What the heck are you talking about? | |

| Re: SE Michigan Sprint can NOT sell in Grand Rapids MI. Grand Rapids is a partner network not even owned by Sprint. Instead it is owned by: »www.ipcswirelessinc.com/ and their agreement- which is still being used gives IPCS the full right to sell in those markets. Until Sprint fully merges them into their company/brand of Sprint they will NEVER be allowed to sell in those markets with IPCS. If you took the time you would know that. It's always on the news here when Sprint launches something new there under their brand; especially with Virgin Mobile and Boost. They had to stop selling there.

| | | | | | Re: SE Michigan if YOU took the time then you'd know that Sprint bought iPCS damn near a year ago: »bit.ly/aiQglV
Sprint can and does sell there and they have 4G launched there.
Do try and check your facts before spouting off... | |

1 edit | Re: SE Michigan That was to BUY. Not finalized. If it was finialized iPCS website still wouldn't be releasing Press Releases and such regarding their shareholders sueing the company; as that company is already gone.
Now you should check your facts before you spout off at me.

1 edit | Re: SE Michigan Nah, my facts are checked and correct. Unfortunately you don't know what you're talking about. Sprint has bought iPCS. They own it, its done. Flat out, bottom line, end of story. I don't know why their website is still up, but if you'll take the time to read, you'd notice that all of the "news" there on the front page is from 2009. Seems like that should have been your first clue... | |

West Bloomfield, MI | What the hell does it matter he has a Sprint Overdrive 4G thats active on the Clear network. Clear has 4G WiMax there so it will connect to the 4G WiMax network and he can use it. | |

| Getting the Epic 4G in a few days... ...will report back on whether we've got 4G turned on as a test network in Denver. I know T-Mobile is doing a pretty good job with their HSPA network here; friends are getting 3 Mbps down on their phones. HSPA+ will be here soon too...as will, I'm guessing, be Verizon LTE. | |

| Why do they OVERLAP other providers??? What about the RURAL customers who have NO options???? Yes, they would not have as many potential customers per square mile, but I wonder how many people with DSL or Cable would want to jump to WiMax in a metro area???
I don't know, but sooner or later these companies will figure out that rural communities are chomping at the BIT for some form of broadband connectivity. The hardwire guys have all but forgotten about rural customers....
Oh Well....

| Re: Why do they OVERLAP other providers??? OK, now I know what you are saying. You are saying, hey, if price is no object, have a T1 line. In most rural areas that have since been developed long after the copper was put in the ground, that is no longer possible. Most of us, myself included, are no longer a straight copper run all the way back to the CO. We go to a box where several phone lines are pair bonded or joined together into one line so that the phone company didn't have to run copper the whole way each time a new house popped up.
I can't even get ISDN...which is about as old as the hills because of the way the lines get "muxed" together...
