I doubt it too. I am perfectly happy with constant download speeds above 2Mbps...just hoping they expand coverage and fill in the gaps.
Yea, wait till your battery life takes a nose dive..I'm no 4G expert, but I do not hear good things about it as far as the battery goes.
We now have 4G here in Connecticut! Got connected up a few minutes ago... It wasn't working earlier today. 
Scott, that's EXCELLENT speed. I'm in Houston and get 6-9Mb/s down and 1Mb/s up on my Evo. I haven't seen much of anything above 1Mb/s upload. It's still great since my home cable internet is 3down/1up.
The 3g in Lafayette is very similar to the 3g I get here in Houston. When I went "home" last month, I was getting 1.0-1.1Mb/s downstream in Lafayette. Maybe they'll bring Baton Rouge up to par. Also, FWIW, from Alexandria to Natchitoches, Sprint phones are getting 3g service from the Verizon (former Alltel) network like they did in BR. Decent speeds but high latency. Back to 1x once you get near Shreveport on I-49.
All the smart phones suck battery...that's why I keep a charger at home, at work and in the vehicle. If I need my phone to last all day I simply turn-off GPS, Wi-Fi and BlueTooth if I am not using them - the same goes for 4G. As far as I am concerned, it is unrealistic for people to surf the net at broadband speeds...run a zillion apps in the background...have GPS track their every waking moment...and expect the battery to last all day.
Well, I WAS pretty happy with my download test from yesterday until you posted.
What stupid person would have said you won't see 10MB speeds out of Sprints 4G service?
...and what dummy would second that motion.What stupid person would have said you won't see 10MB speeds out of Sprints 4G service?

Yeap... i heard that. LoL
On the droid site sum are getting 11 and 12mb .... i get almost 7 with 2 bars... heck i might get 14 with full bars now
The other day while I was running speedtest on my EVO, I ran into a co-worker doing the same thing on his. I wonder how much 4G bandwidth is being consumed by new EVO/Epic customers testing their phones. LOL!
LTE, WiMax Now Officially Not Technically '4G' - Sorry Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon - dslreports.com
ITU finally rules what is 4G. All current 4G advertising in the US will now have to stop since none of the current systems are 4G, and T-Mobile will also have to stop saying "4G like".

I've never been able to navigate the site that well on the phone. Perhaps my fingers are too fat or whatnot but I usually end up running tests from servers on the other side of the country.
