Yep. I was testing a LG G2 on a local Clearwire TD-LTE tower a few days ago.
Got these..
I need to figure out how to get MSL from this thing and other dialer codes to force LTE only. I know of all local Clearwire + Sprint towers so it shouldn't be much of a chore.

Holy smokes 50+ Mbps ! Are you in the LA area? That's where I am at and its suppose to be here soon. ##3282# doesn't work?
Check all Gs4 dialer codes and see which work.

Location Sacramento <---
I know the locations of all the clearwire + sprint sites across the nation and know where to test. Nexus 5 is a no go while the G2 connects but will kick you off within 30 seconds. I'll need to try the GS4 as well to see if it sticks but LA should be fine since they're much much further ahead in the Spark + NV deployment than us up here.
Already looking at dialer codes but not seeing a way to force the GS4T into LTE only mode...

Didn't even need to go anywhere. Forced LTE only mode and it picked up the TD-LTE tower down my street over the PCS B25 Sprint tower. Backhaul apparently hasn't been fully upgraded at this tower yet.
Meanwhile on my local PCS LTE Sprint tower on my nexus 5..

Wow, I live just North (Delaware) and my Uncle is the head of the Communications (Cell phone contracts included) division for Metler-Toledo. I just shot an email off to him asking for some inside info on the rumor that 4G is coming from their building. I'll post back when I get a response from him. Not sure why he didn't tell me before now if they are, he knows I have the evo, he's played with the darned thing!
Sweet. My dad and stepmom stay at a campground in Galena during the summer and I drive down every other weekend. Guess I'll have to head over to Polaris and try it out. Probably won't get a signal at the campground.

Ok, he got back to me. The Metler-Toledo building definitely does have 4G coming from it. It is not hosted by them though. This was his email to me verbatim.
"Yes, but not us. On the roof, another company in the building has placed stuff."
So we know for a fact at least that the origin is said building!
lol what's the chanced of it reaching me SLIM AND NONE ! lol
Hay my uncle lives in Columbus will that grant me 4G coverage? J/K anyway getting closer to Y-Town!
4G in Columbus, Ohio
I'm in Columbus, Ohio (from Dayton) and I currently have an active 4G connection. I'm near Grant hospital, indoors and have 1 bar.. speeds aren't great, but it is Sprint 4G.. Remind you, Columbus was not on the list of upcoming 4G cities!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
hells ya! now i just need cm6 to work with 4g
A few sprint stores in the Hilliard/Upper Arlington area have told me that there will be a 4G tower coming online on top of Drackett Tower on OSU's campus. They said it will be turned on sometime in the fall/winter. Here's hoping this comes true!
oh boy
I hope this is true... it'd be a lovely surprise!

Just tried up in Lewis Center and no 4g signal. Will have to try again on Monday when I am back downtown
This is earlier then expected.
Works all around the statehouse grounds and another guy stated around grant.... So, it should work from statehouse, east of the statehouse to at least grant hospital or further.

Yes. You won't get 4g, but I assume there's a way for 3g and everything else sprint to work.

I figured 4G wouldn't work. I may buy one unlocked. You think that 4G would work once Sprint has their LTE towers up?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Only the GSM models are unlocked Verizon & sprint are cdma & I think it really wouldn't work if you had a Verizon phone on sprint you would probably only get 1x not 3g I want the phone bad I've ask sprint on twitter, online I've asked Google & nothing no word which is stupid there big companies its either yes where getting it in a couple months or no we ain't carrying the galaxy nexus but they say squat

Idk if the only 1x part is true because I think we use the same bands as them, so 3g should work.

If I was to leave sprint I would go to T-Mobile cuz they got cheap plans & they are getting the galaxy nexus & there 3g is better the sprint's & there 4g is faster than sprints I've been with sprint for 9 years I want to stay but they got to get going & make there 3g faster or the same as Verizon & push out there LTE aggressive & keep unlimited & they will be # 1

sprint finally gave me the boot

after 8 years of crappy service I had to move on to at&t got the galaxy skyrocket now and I must say this bad boy is blazing fast right out the box so farewell og evo users
I am debating as well whether to get away from Sprint. The unlimited data is a strong point with me, but I can't get 4G at home or at work. Plus, there are some phones that others have that I would love.

2500 will be TDLTE 100mbs
sprint has more spectrum then both Verizon and ATT combined..wait and see what will happen after they complete network vision and retire old nextel towers.

5g doesn't exist and wont for atleast another 5 to 10 year 5g is slated to be fiberoptics to the tower and there is no technology capable it broadcasting it wirelessly over 600 feet at this point
We are legion, for we are many
where i live sprint has the best coverage. my friends with att and verizon all lack coverage where i don't. the north shore of long island from the middle and west towards nyc has no service though, any carrier. that's just ridiculous. its a rich area and they don't want cancer i guess.....or cellphone coverage. on the plus side though, sprint's cheaper than anyone else. as long as they're cheaper, i'll stay. i'm willing to pay less for ****tier service, but as soon as i'm paying as much as somebody with a good data connection, i'm gonna peace out. wimax was a joke though... i can't believe that.

[Q] nexus 4 4g?

me and my coworker both have tmobile. however i have noticed that his blackberry gets 4g at my work while i get no signal or low signal at my work. my question is
is lte and 4g the same thing?
if not can i add 4g to the 30 bucks a month plan from tmobile on the nexus 4?
T-Mobile doesn't offer LTE. T-Mobile calls its HSPA+ "4G"
The N4 doesn't display the 4G icon like T-Mobile branded phones do. But its getting the same service.

In case you were wondering what speeds you get on T-Mobile. This is from my Nexus 4 in Arlington, Texas. It is in the DFW area.
Edit: Holy Jebus, it takes big screenshots! Should've resized.

It could be a couple reasons.
1) The phones could be representing signal strength differently. Have you checked the actual dBm between the two and not just bars of service.
2) The blackberry antenna just might be stronger/better.

2 Degrees in NZ. Their 4G coverage is still quite sporadic but when you are connected it's usually pretty quick. 4G here is still only a couple of years old and with only a small population and even less with 4G capable handsets means plenty of free bandwidth on the network!
Can't wait to get fibre installed... Going to get 100/20 on Vodafone here. Was seriously looking at their 200/20 but couldn't justify the extra cost for what is essentially just browsing with the occasional download!

Honestly, 8 is still more than enough for 99% of operations on a phone.
Yep. Same market. Yeah it is at enough for YouTube. Not too worried about it. He gets throttled after he hits his cap and I still have an unlimited plan.
