While Sprint is working on adding new 4G LTE locations, users may notice 4G LTE coverage before it is officially announced. Sprint notes that users are welcome to use the 4G LTE network if it becomes available in their area before it is officially announced.
4G LTE offers a theoretical download speed of about 100Mb/s, but because of the unfortunate realities of network congestion, download speeds on 4G LTE in real life situations on most carriers are more or less about 20-60Mb/s. Sprint has a track record of being significantly slower, but on the other hand, Sprint continues to offer unlimited data for its users. Many of Apple's latest devices, including the iPhone 5, iPad Mini, and iPad with retina display can take advantage of 4G LTE speeds.
