Confirmed Sprint LTE up and running in Crown Heights. I tested it on Albany and Kingston Avenues between president and Empire.

When I tested this morning using the speedtest.net app, It was a little over 3mbps download. Problem is, I was doing the test while walking in the street, and with only about 2-3 bars present, so it likely does not reflect the true speeds.

I will test again standing in one place when I get a chance.

It's also possible that it's not fully implemented yet...

If you were in Oholei Torah Beis Medrash in '03-'04, and if you used to hang out in the copy room with Harry, then I believe we do.  8)

My friend hates it. He says, since they started 4G his data is slower then it ever was before
Part of the vast right wing conspiracy.

Looks nice, no? Real world speeds faster than 4G (WiMax)?

You're excited about 4MBps?

Hater.

He's excited about having anything faster than <1mbps, just as I am.

That's where I call "my place".

Not overly excited as I haven't seen a HUGE difference but I also know that LTE hasn't reached it's full potential in NYC so hoping it'll get better.
In any case, I think 4MBps is pretty good for a phone, can your phone do that? :P

I didn't realize WiMax was that slow.  Don't really follow Sprint since they booted me.

Oops..I guess I'm a real rookie when it comes to tech-related stuff :P
I surely hope this has something to do with:

Then I guess it's worse, because Sprint isn't using WiMax anymore AFAIK.

That should be LTE...
