L ife in Las Vegas just got a lot more productive for those who want high-speed Internet at any place or time. Sprint announce the launch of Sprint 4G mobile broadband throughout the Las Vegas metro area. As a result, streaming video, fast file downloads and uploads and turbo charged web browsing are no longer just home, office or coffee shop benefits. Sprint 4G customers can enjoy a blazing fast mobile broadband experience across the city, whether they’re working at a remote location, relaxing in the park, sitting at a favorite eatery or as a passenger on the freeway or public transportation - all for just a $10 per month premium over current Sprint 3G mobile data plans.

Las Vegas is among the first cities to enjoy 4G wireless connections from Sprint, the first national carrier to test, launch and market 4G technology. Sprint 4G delivers peak downlink speeds of more than 10 Mbps and average downlink speeds of 3-6 Mbps - three to five times faster than the 3G service offered by any carrier today, based on average download speeds.
