4g connection but no internet

So I just got the new evo and was playing around with it. I turned on the 4g and low and behold had 4g connection at my house. it shows network provider "Spirnt" and gives me an IP address but no internet. If I turn 4g off I can get internet through 3G. I was told by Sprint store that they are rolling it out in my area and may or may not get 4g yet. So I called sprint and of course get many different stories. I was told that sprint was having problems and it should be up any day. Another one told me 4g is not available in my zip code yet and that they partner with Clearwire and that is why it is coming up. What I don't understand is if it shows I am connected "sprint" 4g network and have an IP address why can I not connect. Is it sprint or more importantly my phone that is messed up?
