Re: Does your EVO get a 4G signal at home?

I get 4G signal in my apartment (which is a mid-rise) and also inside of my office building in Greenway plaza. And I am in the center of the building and I still get great 4G signal.

Re: Does your EVO get a 4G signal at home?

I live in Austin. My house is surrounded in towers and 4G (Clearwire) antennas (http://www.antennasearch.com/). I'm less than 1000 feet from one and less than 3000 feet from another. From the second story, with the window open I get between two and three (three is full) bars. With window closed I get two bars, close the shades and I get between one and two bars. Move 20 feet towards the center of my house and I'm down to zero to one bar. Walk into the closet and it's gone.

Re: Does your EVO get a 4G signal at home?

no 4g at home, but why would i want to use 4g at home? 25/25mbps verizon fios... League City suburbs. When I want to use 4g I'll be in the city, showing it off to friends, at the club, etc. Everywhere I want to use it will have coverage.

Re: Does your EVO get a 4G signal at home?

i can't get a signal at home... oh wait, that's because Sprint still hasn't rolled 4G to my big city even though they're charging me =p

Re: Does your EVO get a 4G signal at home?

I live in Dallas. I get no 4g in my residential one-story house. Outside, I get 4G but its hit and miss. The only time I use it now is when I'm in my car. Hopefully, Sprint will use the $10 fee to boost signals in existing 4g areas.

Re: Does your EVO get a 4G signal at home?

I dont get it at my house and was quite pissed that I had to pay that extra 10. It should be waved if my house is not in a 4G area.

Re: Does your EVO get a 4G signal at home?

In the area I live, there is a small circle that has very spotty coverage. I am on the fringe of that area, so my performance on 4G sucks. According to Clear's map of coverage, everywhere around that area gets pretty good coverage, and I can attest to that. If they just improve it in that < 1 sq mi area, I'll be getting some bandwidth scores in the 3+ mb/s range.

Right now, the best I get at home, on 4G, is about 600k down/800k up.
