From what I understand, Sprint's service is not really 4G, it's WiMax that has been rebranded. http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/141144 http://community.

- nicholasreed 16y agoI just tested "4G" in Chicago on an Evo and it is blazing fast. The Evo's hotspot ability and screen clarity are amazing! Also, the fact that I pay $50 less per month vs Verizon for great coverage and fast data makes the whole experience even better.
- dotBen 16y agoOh, it's not 4G by international telephone standards. But then I say this as a European living in the US that America's telephone and connectivity network is still back in the dark ages.
- jallmann 16y agoWiMax has enough bandwidth to be considered 4G, but the tech is closer to WiFi than traditional cellular. And the rebranding you're thinking of is Clear from Clearwire -- WiMax is just the radio standard that they're using. The other 4G will be LTE. WiMax/LTE is akin to HSDPA and EV-DO -- different standards that fall under the 3G umbrella. But if you want to be really pedantic, apparently wimax falls under 3G also (according to wikipeda).
