Anyone know when Sprint will turn on 4G LTE for the NYC & Metro Area? Or how is T-M?

I would go with neither of these services tbh.
I live about 15 minutes from NYC and I hate t-mobile.
I switched a month ago from ATT because of the no contracts, but i'm considering paying off my phone fee and switching back to ATT.
T-mobile's service is roughly 1/3 worse then ATT (I have no actual data, just my own personal experience). Sometimes my iPhone 5 on t-mobile is slower then my iPhone 4 on ATT was.
I'm definitely not satisfied. And i've never connected to LTE since I bought the phone from the store.

Do you have the T-Mobile carrier update installed? Do you ride NYC subways? There is LTE in the subway and also in Queens. T-Mobile should light up NYC LTE in June. I'd wait and see what your service is like after LTE is enabled before switching.
Your not making any sense! 15 minutes away by foot by car?? What direction ? This info does not help the OP. please be detailed .
You're getting T-Mobile LTE out there? So far I've only seen LTE turned on in the subways, Wards Island, Astoria, Flushing, and Jamaica. I live in Hamilton Heights and work in Midtown. I haven't seen LTE in either yet.
Yes.
No.
We'll see. If I haven't switched back to ATT by then.

Car. Who the hell measures distance by walking unless you're actually in the city?
East.
Looks like the footprint from around Clifton, NJ is expanding daily.

About $220 for 4 lines with unlimited data, text, and 1500 shared minutes (free night/wknd).
The 100 minutes makes it not really feasible. The four of us easily use over 1000 minutes when factoring in nights/weekends.
I was trying to get his location. 15 in every direction of NYC u will get 4G.ROFL!I was thinking the exact same thing.
The footprint is continuing to expand, a little bit every day, according to the sensorly map.
What I can't understand is why in hell they started with poorer cities like Passaic and Patterson rather than the more affluent communities around it. Whatever.
