Sprint LTE getting lit up in Boston, Austin, and many other places

sprint
Sprint's LTE roll out has been breathtakingly painful for Sprint customers. After many rural areas got LTE, some of the bigger city customers started feeling a little left out. Sprint's trying to keep up and have announced that Boston, Massachusetts and Austin, Texas are getting LTE flipped on very shortly.

For Boston residents, this will be the second time Sprint has announced LTE. The first being back in September 2012. So we're not sure if Sprint balked on the release or if only part of the city was covered. The full city should be full of Sprint LTE in the coming days.

For everyone else, this is the first time the nationwide carrier has promised LTE. Here is the full list of places getting LTE from 9 to 5 Google:

Boston, Massachusetts
Austin, Texas
College Station / Bryan, Texas
Columbia, Tennessee
Emporia, Kansas
Fort Wayne, Indiana
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Western Puerto Rico

So, as has become the norm for Sprint, there are a couple of big places and a bunch of smaller places. What's confusing is that they have gone from the East coast to the Midwest and have managed to skip a number of states in between. Michigan and Ohio still have no LTE coverage whatsoever.

Will Sprint ever get this done?

Sprint has openly promised that they'll have their Network Vision done by the end of this year. So there is always a chance that 2013 will be the last year Sprint customers have to suffer through this. However, based on this list and ones prior to it, Sprint still has a very long way to go and delays along with slow progress could see it go to 2014.

For everyone who just got some Sprint LTE, has anyone given it a shot yet? Let us know if it's a major improvement in your area.

I believe it when i see it. I have first hand experience with the pain of owning a HTC. This is simply a distraction to not scare buyers away from the HTC One, when the update does not fix the problem they will acknowledge it and promise a new update.

  Well I see it. Just downloaded the update and it seems it fixed exactly what was said in this article. I’ll know more as I continue to use it though

    Ok, we will know in a few days. The intense problems some users are experiencing while others have only mild symptoms tells me that its without doubt a manufacturing defect. A software update may help those with mild symptoms, lets see about the serious cases, and also wait for the degrading effect to come into play during the next few months. One is not the only HTC with button problems, and manufacturing defects has always been HTCs trademark.

Did the update. Now my phone has horrendous Bluetooth connection problems with my BMW I drive. With HTC one. Out of box I drive would connect and stream media and Bluetooth phone but wouldn’t download phone book. Then bought Bluetooth Phonebook app and everything finally worked. Did this new update and now no media
