Thread: 4G coming?

So I know we have a few members in Idaho lurking around on here I thought I would post an interesting conversation I had today with a Sprint DM friend of mine. Hopefully this will also bring hope to those Sprint users in other areas waiting for 4g.

So my buddy said they are rolling out 4g here within 1-2 months, and Sprint is configuring the towers as we spoke. They have entered in an agreement with Clearwire, and since Clearwire is so wide spread in Boise it makes it a perfect location.

He said everyone at the corporate location is running it right now and it is outstanding.

They've been saying that on their commercials lately.

Have they :lmao: I don't pay attention to Sprint commercials.

I got a buddy in Boise, he'll be psyched.

Sounds promising indeed. The speeds I heard reference are crazy fast. This should make some Sprint customers very happy.

Im not too up yet on that whole thing, is LTE Verizons equivilant, or is that something completely different?

Thank You for the update Bryan.

Sprint still has customers???:dunno::261:

I was under the impression that their new air card for your notebook is 4g and for some reason i thought the palm pre was gonna be on a 4g network. I didn't realize they were upping their speeds altogether.
