I’m with Sprint and in the suburbs of Lisle and north of that in Arlington Heights i’ve gotten blazing fast 4G speeds. I used Speedtest.net’s app and here is my result. 30.54Mbps download and 6.35Mbps upload, Arlington Heights. 10.85Mbps download and 12.18Mbps upload, Lisle.

I have an iPhone 5 and I get LTE in in the southwest suburbs orland park/mokena although it is sometimes spotty. Def solid lte signal at O’Hare. Can’t wait for the entire roll out this phone sucks with sprint 3G

I am in Bucktown/Wicker area and have not seen coverage. The reception from 3G on Galaxy S3 has been awful! EVO 4G was way better. I hope greater penetration is coming soon. If you are in downtown Chicao, I would hold off on a 3G/LTE phone until the LTE roll-out has improved.

I get 4g in the Glendale Heights area and other scattered places. Should I be seeing an “LTE” icon on my phone? Or simply the regular “4G”? Evo 4GLTE

I live in lakeview and LTE coverage is very spotty, but there are certain parts that have 4G consistenlty. Still very limited though and even some of the 3G coverage isnt that great

I work Bannockburn IL and have a strong LTE signal. And have noticed in some areas I get spotty LTE coverage. In areas like Niles, Morton Grove and Lincolnwood. I hope the bigger roll out happens soon. Kind of sucks having an iphone with 3G service.

I have coverage in many places around the city but never inside Chicago itself. Most places I do have coverage it is spotty and speeds are not consistent either, with download speeds at 2 to 5 Mb and upload speeds are anywhere from 2 to 10 Mb. But in Lake Forest at the Tollway oasis and throughout surrounding areas is over 20 Mb up and down. I hope that is a sign of things to come.
