| Despite what Sprint has been telling me about a June Launch in Northern VA and Washington DC -- I have been seeing consistent 4G signal since I grabbed the Overdrive last week. Am I crazy? |

| 4g has been in the dc area for over a year now unofficially. |

|
|
| I've been seeing a 4G signal for months, and can often connect, but it varies a great deal. I'm using a U300 and a Cradepoint MBR-1000. Is there a fine tuning issue that I am missing that would make for a consistent signal? Thanks for any thoughts!! |

| I visit the FAA quite a few times a month and never have a signal in that area. |

I should add that we are near 13th and S St in NW.
Also, is the U301 modem better than the U300? Should I look at upgrading to it? |

If I want to play around and check signal strengths I guess I can no longer use my old XOHM Home modem (the coffee cup Zyxel one)?

Just wanted DC area folks to know that I had full Sprint 4G coverage while working in the Tysons Corner area yesterday.
My U301 worked greate...averaged about 5m on the download side and 1.2mb on the upload side. |

Excellent, now I just need it to head further west (Reston/Herndon) for work and then in a few years it will wander down to Fauquier County where I live with only 3G as my broadband.

I have never had a 4G signal south of Clinton. |
