Of course, we’re still getting reports from readers about incredibly slow LTE data speeds, even in areas that have supposedly been upgraded to Spark. For example:
@jfreml You wrote about @Sprint slow LTE in the past. Its awful & overcrowded in #Chicago. #Dial up speeds common. pic.twitter.com/xEIbsTfR3i

Other readers are reporting acceptable speeds, although that still seems to be the exception rather than the norm. As always, if you’re in one of the new launch markets, be sure to let us know what your experiences are like. I’m personally getting tired of always including a disclaimer about slow data whenever I report on Sprint’s LTE rollout, so hopefully we can see some awesome speed test results, too!
