Sprint’s 4G LTE network isn’t quite as expansive as AT&T’s and Verizon’s thus far, but it appears we could be less than 24 hours away from seeing more than 20 new markets lit up with the speedy data signal. According to information procured by PhoneArena, 21 new markets will get Sprint 4G LTE on April 12th. If true, it’s not odd that Sprint has elected to wait to announce the expansion until the day it actually happens.
The following list of cities will supposedly see 4G LTE starting sometime tomorrow:

California: Los Angeles, Contra Costa County
Florida: Palm Bay, Port St. Lucie, West Palm Beach
Indiana: Bloomington and Lafayette
Illinois: Rochelle
Minnesota: Mankato-North Mankato
Missouri: Joplin
North Carolina: Charlotte, Shelby, Albemarle, Sailsbury, Lincolnton
Tennessee: Memphis, Greenville, Tullahoma
Texas: Denison, Kerrville
Virginia: Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News

The list isn’t exactly filled out with large metropolitan areas, but the trio of cities in Virginia, Los angeles, Lafayette, Bloomington, Mankato, Charlotte, and Memphis should satisfy a good amount of people (balance matters, folks). For Sprint subscribers, waking up tomorrow morning will be like a waking up on Christmas Eve. Either your parents were cool enough to give you your gifts a day ahead of time, or they weren’t — either way, nothing was ever guaranteed.
