Sprint’s 4G mobile data service has now been brought to seven more cities around the world: Rochester and Syracuse in New York, Merced and Visalia in California, Eugene in Oregon, but also Tri-Cities and Yakima in Washington. The high-speed service from Sprint is currently available in 43 markets, with even more launches; this includes cities in Los Angeles, New York and Miami, which will be ready before the end of 2010. For these new markets, Sprint 4G subscribers are now able to hold video calls by simply using the front-facing camera on their own HTC Evo 4G.
The Sprint 4G network uses WiMAX and is able to provide about 3Mbps to 6Mbps in real-world downstream speeds, with plans starting at $30 monthly.

I’m a road warrior who fly’s. There is no 4G at any airport so far other than Regan in Washington. So Sprint can Lobby there. Most connections from 3G to 4G are all over the place. I’d say its the same as dial-up, based on average speed fluctuation and connection drops. This is with 2.0.6 firmware. Upload speed is embarrassing, homing pigeons would be faster. 7-8 hours to upload 200 megs to youtube. 4G towers are not connected to the Internet, or whomever Sprint has a deal with it’s not working. Device runs hot and will shut down from overheating. Not like a switch it’s worse with 2 connections, wife using netflix it buffers a lot. Sprint has a long way to go. San Antonio had the best speed, since AT&T is headquartered there.
