Sprint 4G Review

[freakylocz14]

You need to be outdoors to get top speeds.

[thelasthallow]

lol google chrome is fucking gay.

[TheDavidD99]

Jon, sprint says on their website that average 4g wimax speeds are 3-6 mbps not the average starts at 6. The average speeds start at 3. And that is still pretty fast for a wireless network. And it's also unlimited 4g use with 5gb included unlike verizon charges 50 for only 5gb of 4g data. And you can get peaks up to 10 Mbps with sprint. Overall sprint has best phones plans and reasonable 3G coverage 3x of AT&T. And number 2 in a recent survey and AT&T was last while sprint and verizon were top

[GaGaRMW]

@shakenama fuck it their 4G access because they all sell the device to and they strain the network but Sprint never upgraded the network no matter how much I bitched they won't listen so fuck it I'm leaving their 4G and going with Road Runner for $10 less until ATT launches their LTE next year which is going to get 75-100mbps making it a real 4G network so fuck corporate greedy mother fuckers because ATT is gonna fuck you in the u know!! How do I know this? The tests are on and I saw them on Ya

[GaGaRMW]

Ok a year and a couple days after is how long I've had the service and the very first day it sucked!! Yes I was inside my home and that was with the modem attached to the computer I didn't even get a full megabit3!! So ok I thought let it warm up a bit you know get the towers a chance well I should have just canceled the service because a week later I went in to get my U300 modem the one in the video checked by the Sprint technicians!! Guess what nothing was wrong but they still gave me a new o

[ShekkieShabbazz]

i got 0.38mbs down :'(

[shakenama]

Sprints WiMax is currently accessible in 50+ major cities including Philadelphia & Pittsburgh. Bear in mind Sprint is not the only company who is behind WiMax. Comcast, Intel, Time Warner, Google and Bright House Networks are all part of the consortium and are hoping to reach 120mil subscribers by end of the year.

Verizon is said to release LTE in November but is still in testing phase. Both AT&t and Verizon are very tight lipped about LTE.

[NAGTALON123]

Um I might just wait for verizon to Launch LTE

[Anon261123]

sprint pays clear for acces to their 4g and then charge extra to their costumers to pay clear =] and i hear it from a clear representative

[ENIGMATICxFEAR]

does this work for ps3?

[Brevity006]

@ENIGMATICxFEAR

No, it doesn't. Not fast enough.

[djkram650]

Sprint's 4g. Is this a joke? I just tested my AT&T 3g with 1 bar of signal borderline EDGE that went 3.1Mbps down 1.2Mbps up!

[blane237]

@djkram650 prove it

[K3BACON]

@djkram650 impossible because the absolute max for 3G is 2mbps. besides im getting 6mbps on my 4G.

LTE will be even faster (100mbps) but its to expensive for any company to invest in just yet.

LTE wont be here until 2011 and wont be full speed untill at least 2013.

Sprints 4G is not a joke its just temporary until they or anyone for that matter can afford LTE.

[1nglewattz1]

Good review. I'm warming up to idea of rolling with a 4G card from Sprint.

[psp785]

cough data plans will fuk you up though

[lawrencevelo]

well you only have 2 bars that's why its not so fast

[bbirall]

i have been getting 20mb ps last 2 years (minimum 17mb) -and paying only 20 euro(pm) and u r exitted with ur speed? get out of US and see whats really happening in Europe and asia.

[iceman9109]

exitted really? your wireless speed may be faster, but your spelling is struggling. excited

[buckwheat40]

Can you compare Sprint 3G to 4G, they dont have 4G in my area

[stryker95th]

I don't even have 1mb on my $70 cable connection..Sprint bring over 4G to NYC alreadyyyyyyy.

[byanes39]

yes bring it to queens!

[AlexTheDorkk]

i have clear!

[pdusk44]

Thats impossible the wimax network is not even capable of those speeds. Unless you are talking about some crazy fiber network.

[stryker95th]

300mbs with a simple upgrade.

[pdusk44]

Um no it is not a "simple upgrade. If it was simple why don't they just do it. I just read an article, and you can google this, but clear isn't even going to upgrade their network until late 2011 or early 2012. And even with that upgrade the max speed would only be capable of 120 mbps down. So nice try.

[MarioPodVideo]

wow mines about 100 Mbps.

[Keyo717]

This has been AWFUL I've spent 11 hours on the phone with Sprint trying to get the U300 to work with windows7 and no one can get the drivers to work. Sprint support doesn't have a clue how to fix this issue and I was told there's a U301 they are going to try and push on you because according to the people from Sprint this JUST DOESN'T work. I too am from Phila and dealing with Sprint on this has been a train Wreck. I have a new Sony lap top and was told by Sprint it the card NOT my Pc.

[tech0007]

7 mps peacks 2.2mps average when downloading a file

[GrimVernox]

lmao i did the test and i got 5.06mps

[hcdragonfly]

if a 4g connection can reach 10mb's/s, then it makes sense a bit to buy a netbook that runs on Chrome OS.

[reynalddavid871]

Hello, does this change the ip address everytime you login?

[FcK2420]

lol i thought i had a bad connection! i got a 8.06 mps per second!

[Sabei0990]

1.15 BITCHES!

[geoflo13]

This card is faster than the internet I get in my room in Turkey!!! SAD!

[Flubadoodoo]

MAN here in the middle east ... i got 1 mbps ... wow gaming here is kinda like australia aswell .... 2 bars are AWESOME!!! (not kiddding)

[Amberdennoa]

heimy cam is running abd i am really bored with all that stuff

[serbianstud16]

Wow thats really slow i got a comcast hacked modem and im on my laptop and i got.

Download: 14.51

Upload: 3.79

and i only had to pay 250 once and never again for that ripoff of a company again

[VGJournal]

I tested my network and boy is it slow. Comcast is way slower then Sprint's 4G. Wow...

[candywrapp]

Firefox is better for youtube bc Speedbit accelerator

[AutumnAu]

3mbps is garbage. americas internet sucks. japan has speeds up to 60mbps

[PaperTrail159]

@AutumnAu who gives a fuck about japan?

[funkyskunk2]

yeah and japan is 20 times smaller with a population 1/3 that of the us. like rats

[linkinpain]

imo 70 dollars for a slow internet is a waste of money..

[MrQu1nNf4c3]

thats twice as fast as my wired internet here in New Zealand "sigh"

[91greigm]

yer same here in australia as well basicly

[jagjagin]

well i guess that fast for a mobile card.

[wavesOfFury]

It's so sad how much faster that is than my regular internet. :'(

[jayqwe2]

Where is Jon? i think you are taking over his channel.

[w35t51d369]

@jayqwe2 technobuffalo has 4 presenters.

[Miny000000]

@dragon2534 ok, but whats wrong with saying that is?

[lighangel]

how can you call 3mbs fast??

that's hella slow

[dandzprod]

Idk where your getting this price from because i have the same card with the unlimited plan and it only costs $60 per month

[whos56]

i hope apple got an eye on sprint

[Miny000000]

@dragon2534 what are you talking about lol?

[Aldama209]

i have 16.82 mps download on my wifi network.....3.39 doesnt seem too fast for me...

[therevivedone]

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on 4G. If only 4G was available everywhere.

[iMatsR]

Telia Sweden 3G: avg 3.887 mbps.

[cejafoo93]

were john at?

[mehaniph]

You guys are lucky... We in Malaysia the most I can get is 2mbps on iPhone's 3GS with it's data plan.. Thats rare.. Average 500kbps i guess..

[k1llmebill]

I have 3.6mbps on the 3G network here in Denmark!

[jojjebros]

haha lol... in sweden our 4G have 100 mbs :O

[Billemusen]

I'm very sorry, but I'm just sayin... I'd much rather have u reviewing smartphones, or gaming systems, or mp3 players than networks.

[GMODCREATOR]

I got about 5mbps on average up and 0.36 up xD But on speed test I got 36 mbps up once

[Vikturus22]

I got the best Wifi In NZ and im getting 4.6mbps and Upload is at 1.38mbps :)

[John4lakerz]

Help Jon.every time I comment on YouTube on my iPhone ,it keeps on saying "YouTube not available " when there is 5 bars.a little help jon4lakers.does this happen to u????@

[John4lakerz]

A @slickiddowndablock why don't u get a life and fuck u bitch u got a problem then do something asshole bitch I will kick yo ass

[ironbesterer]

my average download is 15mbps and upload is around 3 mbps

[driftazn]

where did you get your wallpaper?

[AnimatedMusicVideofa]

@driftazn

this is one of the many default wallpapers on windows 7

[Miny000000]

@AnimatedMusicVideofa what pack? i havent seen it?

[AnimatedMusicVideofa]

there must be a box called "scenes". i dont really know what it`s called in english because i have the german version =)

[SlickKidDownDaBlock]

@John4lakerz wtf biter getalife dude

[totalembarrasment]

honestly, racsim isnt really necessary....

[7wizkid]

Damn dude. 10 MBPS? That's pretty darn fast.

[attackofthepoprocks]

That's faster than my DSL connection. Not faster than my cable, but it's pretty nice!

[7wizkid]

@attackofthepoprocks I have cable and my max download is about 3.9 - 4.3 mbps. I don't have the fastest internet connection out there, but I felt spending the extra money wasn't necessary.

[attackofthepoprocks]

My max is 20mbs download, and 2.0mbs upload. I usually get 14mbs download and .8mbs upload.

[7wizkid]

@attackofthepoprocks That's crazy. I could have got 10 mbps download, but the price was outrageous. For what I use the internet for, my connection is fine. I'm not streaming content or anything so it's sufficient for me.

[iPikailucky]

which one is better, this one from sprint or the verizon one?

[Bonez1999]

I mean really, what's with the absurdly loud intro's?? It's not cool to have all your YouTube viewers grabbing and smashing their volume buttons down because of the heart-attack intro...

[gaiabravo]

it takes my pc like 10 sec to load a page thats friggin fast

[LHCforlife]

HA! How can you call 6mbps fast. I get up to that speed easy when I tether my iPhone 3GS.

You should try one of Europe's lte networks and enjoy speeds of up to a 100mbps.

USA fails on internet speeds anyway, both wireless and wired. 100mbps is basicly the standard for wired networking in Sweden. What is it in USA, about 8 mbps?

[AppleKnowsBest]

oh my god that is amazing i cant even imagine speeds that fast

a internet provider out here is advertising 15mpbs as the new fastest shit around

[Akyla0177]

@LHCforlife hey America invented the internet, so don't get too cocky!!

[TheF1PinkVoltaDream]

yes but thats because there are a lot more people using internet in usa than in sweden.

[TheCatandOwlandBat]

He is in the US like John. LP is in Sweden.

[TheF1PinkVoltaDream]

what? LP is in finland. And i was replying to LHCforlife. and im still not going to do the stupid @username thing. never.

[TheCatandOwlandBat]

OOOHHHH. Okay, I see, sorry.

[TheF1PinkVoltaDream]

lol yeah no problem

[John4lakerz]

Jon give me a shout out in next video and I only comment no videos

[alexey2Kde]

Is it just me or are his videos more loud than any other stuff on youtube? The intro ever hurts my ears...lol

[NewYorkerkid95]

im watching this over my tethered g1s connection 1mbps reaching 1.2mbps not badd

[KWAbrahamsen]

The Norwegian carrier Netcom just launched the first LTE- based 4G network in the world. This has theoretical speeds of up to 100Mbps and compared to both the old 3G with up to 7,2Mbps and US Sprint's 4G, that's very fast!

[PossiblePoison]

Unlimited?!?! Here in Australia we don't know what that means :(

[PossiblePoison]

Hmm, I'm in Australia and my tethered iPhone on the vodafone network can sometimes get me around 650kb/s download on the 3G network (in the early morning when their network is not busy)

Other times it gets me a max of 150kb/s

[BreebreeKxC]

It's still faster than my internet.

-______-

[reviewsitedollars]

4g suck i have the 3g/4g unit and 4g service is no good 3g is way better

[sainifabulous]

i get 20mbps :)

comcast ftw!

[luis61961944]

how much do you pay?

[sainifabulous]

i pay 50 for both phone and internet

[luis61961944]

OMFG that really cheap i paid like 30 for only 4mbps (i live in mexico and the max is only 4 mbps D:)

sorry for my bad english

[nopepsicoke]

42mbps 4g here i come!

[overkill852]

Are you fucking high?

[John4lakerz]

Where the hell is jon

[fiktiv666]

We have 7.2 Mbps here in the UK for quite a while now and that's only called 3G lol :)

I expect 4G to be considerably faster when it rolls out.

[gezzaky]

WHAT THE !? Ive someting similar tike those as we all it mobile brardband in the uk and my speed goes only to about 580kbps!!!!!!!!!!

[fiktiv666]

you live in a bad reception area or you are with the wrong provider. O2 has a notoriously bad coverage, only good in the big cities. I'm with Three and they are very good, also has the best 3G coverage.

[gezzaky]

Im with three as well!?!?!?!? Ive got Hspda reception only since my area cant pick up 3g that well in some of my rooms.....

[fiktiv666]

Your connection manager program tells you what reception you are getting. In the room it's not that good usually so I have a long USB cable that leads to the window and that's where the dongle is :) get one of them and it's gonna be better.

[gezzaky]

Thanks for the tip im starting to get 3g :) and the speed is pumpin up

[fiktiv666]

Your welcome mate :) Mobile Broadband speed really depends on the reception.

Also I have a 1GB download limit but it's pretty quick and I don't need more, oh and did I mention that it's only £5 / month!!! Wow that's cheap isn't it?

[gezzaky]

Yes! Lol Mines 1GB and £5 month aswell!! We must have the same price plan

[fiktiv666]

Lol yeah sounds like it :)

I got it cheaper because I have a Three mobile phone contract too :)

[gezzaky]

HHAHAHA

Lol Ive got a contract to it aswell, it all adds up to £15

[fiktiv666]

My phone contract is £8 and the mobile broadband is £5

[Techdude201]

Is this gonna be comparable to AT&Ts 7.2Mbps HSDPA?

[TheRadOreo]

Can someone explain why I got 15.79 Mb/s? :O

[HybridPineapple]

Thats insanely fast!

[fiktiv666]

Yeah please someone explain it, we definitely would like to know :) lol

[3arbawiq6r]

Great vid ... Duno when 4g coverage will bs in the middle east

[Gornas]

Norway was first with 4G ;D

[GamerandSuch]

lol i have 1.28mb/s haha

[08robertb]

i get 1.17 mb on bt broadband is that any good ?

[bobbanisten]

@08robertb No that is not very good :/ I get 10 Mbps and that is okay.

[FreshZerglings]

still waiting for USA to get 60 MBPS internet like Japan

[RiuvGuitar]

200mbps in the UK is currently being tested in some areas

[FreshZerglings]

thats cool, is it true though that UK has one of the slowest internet connection among 1st world nations? i heard their speed are rubbish

[RiuvGuitar]

nope, 'fraid not. america and canada i believe are lagging behind the UK

[01cmather]

no exactly true, in the countryside the speeds aren't very good but in the big cities we have up to 50mb if you want!

[Madblaster89]

i get 15mb in my house. Yuotube still takes forever to load videos. AAAAAAAAAAH

[SubscribeBiTCH]

FiOS is ftw

[ST0077]

wow, i got 8.96 mb/s

[PCGAM3RS]

OMG. I get 1.5MP/S on a WIRED connection.

[ThEuNdYiNg1]

@PCGAM3RS

[n1ck1216]

I'm on vios but i got 5.38mb/s is that good. I live in nyc

[n1ck1216]

[imtherod213]

lol nice background

[Comikkaze]

[Comikkaze]

damn I only have 15 or so with FiOS

[Grantley245]

I get around 13 MPS for my broadband internet connection.

[Skimmt]

I get 20 :D

[ninjadudevideos]

does sprint have 4g for there phone

[Comikkaze]

yeah.. that was actually the first I heard of 4g

[kimixel]

I didnt know that you guys have slow internet O.o

Here in my country we have new internet of 1Gbps but the price is a little high.

The 3G is about the max of 21,6Mbps in citys and malls that have support and the rest of the country is minimum of 1,8Mb if you have less then that you can decline the service and you dont play anything

[psychoclown420]

That's the ASUS that you unboxed recently?

I got 1.17 on my home network (wireless G) but I only have about 40% connection strength

[EpicSlug]

Brandon Texas is a state lol not a city.

[theycallmeskinny]

lol

[Anthagonyk]

i get 5.2 .....

[IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN]

att gets hit at because people resent being trapped with them when they buy an iphone. att have great edge coverage, far superior to verizon but verizons 3G is to be envied.

[psndoonan1]

I get only 2 mbs on my home wifi

[bllymcgvrn123]

i get 4.5 wow... my network is sloooow

[PB4113R]

[RyanChristianson]

That was extremely slow

[HBeagley]

That WiMax Card Is Faster than my Broadband Connection in the UK I only get 0.5MB download and 0.25MB upload on average!

[Sikskillz84]

I can't wait for Sprint to roll out their 4G network in the east coast.

[TheDarknessObsesst]

Pretty Darn Fast? LOL, thats so slow man, thats wicked slow, thats not even fast...

[p3acesoldier]

my download speed was 47.39 and upload was 12.43 im using verizon FiOS

[allsports4]

damn! are u sure??

[Cyberbeastproduction]

@p3acesoldier And you're also paying a ton of money. I wish I got a quarter of your download lol. I'm going download about 5mbps (speedtest) and about 1.3mbps upload. Wow.

[fswmacguy]

Your statement is missing a verb.

[lynx2cross]

I like that laptop you're using by the way

[sonyboy97]

dang thats more than my internet at 2.5mps

[macbookpro57]

wow really? mines is wireless and it usually goes up to about 25.0 download and im not even near the router, im upstairs

[monkeyrahha]

really? i have wireless but it only goes to about 2.5 download.

[macbookpro57]

what service provider do you have? i just use comcast and the airport extreme router makes it a lot faster

[kzam90]

@macbookpro57 a router doesn't make an internet connection faster.
