Judging from the comments on the last Sprint story, customers really want Sprint’s 4G LTE service.

And now they don’t have to wait much longer in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Kansas City.

Sprint announced its 4G LTE network service starts on July 15.

The service should launch in Austin a few months later, according to Sprint officials.

Sprint built a new nationwide 3G and 4G LTE network, dubbed the Vision network so customers will receive faster download speeds and fewer dropped calls.

“The performance of both the 4G LTE and improved 3G networks are exceeding our expectations and we are pleased with the progress of the entire Network Vision program,” Sprint’s CEO Dan Hesse said in a news release.

By the end of 2013, Sprints expects to have the service rolled out to all of its customers in the U.S.
