Sprint announced today that customers in 22 cities across 12 states, including several large cities in Florida and Louisiana, now have access to the new LTE network. Here’s the complete list, sorted by state:
California:
- Napa
Florida:
- Gainesville
- Miami
- Palatka
- Sebring
- Tampa
Georgia:
- Dalton
Indiana:
- Warsaw
Louisiana:

Additionally, Sprint said that LTE should be expected in the coming months in these areas:
- Grand Rapids, MI
- Aberdeen, WA
- Allegan, MI
- Ann Arbor, MI
- Battle Creek, MI
- Corpus Christi, TX
- Eagle Pass, TX
- Flint, MI
- Laredo, TX
- Marshfield/Wisconsin Rapids, WI
- Mount Pleasant, MI
- Oak Harbor, WA
- Watertown/Fort Atkinson, WI
This is the first new LTE announcement from Sprint in about two months, so it’s certainly encouraging to see that Sprint’s LTE rollout hasn’t gone the way of the WiMAX rollout. But at the same time, Sprint no longer mentions in its press releases that it intends to complete the rollout, along with the rest of its Network Vision enhancements, by the end of 2013. This is probably due to the many setbacks and delays Sprint has experienced so far, and who knows how successful the carrier will be at catching up.
In any case, if you live in one of these areas, be sure to let us know how LTE is working out for you! Enjoy your new speeds.
