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

Huh? ??? Anything 4G that isn't LTE is WiMax.

Why are you so sure that the 4G OP is experiencing is NOT LTE?

The OP says he's referring to 4G LTE, so I'm not sure what your question means.

Here are three reasons I'm convinced there's currently non-LTE 4G (WiMax) still live:

1. It's still on Sprint's coverage map, with cities that don't have LTE showing WiMax.
2. Many older phones don't have LTE bands, but the users are still using 4G (WiMax)
3. FWIU some phones indicate LTE coverage separately (different network icon).

AFAIK, Sprint 4G = both LTE and WiMax... so he could be referring to either.

Also, according to the latest maps I have, it seems there is LTE in CH for sprint users...

I have LTE signal in Brooklyn all the time but with limited speeds, not real LTE speeds.
Mind sharing a screenshot of the speed test?
