Memorial Park and Downtown is pretty loaded with portals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallagherm1993 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Is anyone familiar with the towers in Beech Grove? I understand that Indy is almost finished but that's the only area that is still really spotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallagherm1993 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I did map just about all of it that's 4G on sensorly with my sgs3,but I upgraded to the HTC One which I'm sure still has radio updates to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranziq Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well this is progress, I am no longer having to reload the PRL to re-obtain 800mhz voice. If I go to a 1x area then back to a 800 area it auto switches back. this was not the case a week ago. I am getting 800 in a majority of places on the east central indiana area (Daleville, Anderson, Markleville, Chesterfield, Shirley) Signal is strong and I am loving that I only have to use my airave for 3g when needed. the 800 has a higher priority than my airave's 1x-rtt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I just checked into the Downtown Marriott in Indianapolis. 4G LTE in my room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker954 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I just got me a Galaxy S 4. LTE Upgrade complete in a huge chunk of Hendricks County. I mapped Sensorly in Danville, Cartersburg, Belleville, Plainfield, and Clayton. LTE signal stretches about 2 miles west of the center of the county. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusherb Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Had a great experience in the Indy area on I65, 465, then back on I65 down to Edinburgh, IN. Came from Northwest, IN. Service was awful around Roselawn, then really picked up from Lafayette and the rest of the way do Indy. I had LTE and working 3G the whole time I was in the Indianapolis market. On the way back I took route 31 to Indianapolis/465 and found pleasant service the whole way, even between towns! (I was able to stream HQ Pandora without any interruption) It seems Samsung/Sprint has paid quite a bit of attention to the Indianapolis market, especially the rural coverage. Between Lafayette and Crown Point service is almost horrendous, several stretches where service is stretched so thin that EVDO fades out and you get a barely usable 1X signal for periods of time. I dropped a call in one of those stretches during a handoff, would've been better if I weren't using an iPhone 5 though. Those spots definitely will benefit from LTE 800! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranziq Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 IN60XC359 Tower in Markleville as of this morning is broadcasting LTE and 1x800. I was getting spotty 3g coverage for the last few days in the area and went to go check out the tower this morning. I was about 600 feet away from the tower when doing the speed testSent from my LG Optimus G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug526 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm in Acton. Indy market .46259. Sprint map shows LTE but do n9t have in this SE corner of of marion county. Does anyone know when it will get updates. Sprint told me voice has been u0dated but n9t LTE. The best you can do is look at the Sprint arrays to see if they have new antennas and RRUs going up. Here in Austin I've seen LTE go live in as little as 1 week after the new equipment went up. Sometimes it takes 3 months or longer. But keep looking, maybe you'll even catch a construction crew up in the tower lifting the antennas and equipment up to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0583 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 sprint said network vision upgrades are done as far as voice but I was just curious as to LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not talking to professionals. It just depends on your area, if you donated like $10 to the site and became a sponsor, you could see a map of everywhere in your area that did have LTE versus voice upgrades. You gotta pay to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yep. Customer service. I will donate so I can just see fir myself. Thanks. Network Vision upgrades are not complete in any market yet. There's still a LOT of work going on. If anyone tells you otherwise, be very suspect of anything else they say about NV, or LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a very similar experience to you as I drove from Chicago to Indy yesterday. There are still several pockets between Lafayette and Indy where I didn't get LTE, and 3G was slow, but nowhere as bad as the Crown Point to Lafayette stretch of I65. But in Indy the LTE and 3G is working much better than it is in many other markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newboyx Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Interesting (to me), there is a tech out at my nearest site. This site has been NV upgraded and accepted for months. He is on the new rack that was installed during the upgrade. The legacy equipment is on a different rack and he hasn't visited it that I have seen. To the best of my knowledge everything is working properly. Man I need a triband hotspot. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ydoucare Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 LTE in Lafayette, IN has slowed down drastically lately. At my apartment, I used to routinely see over 12 Mb down (no, I don't use it as my primary internet). For the last couple weeks, though, it's probably averaging 4-5, often times below 3 Mbps. I guess I sorta expected a drop, but not quite that severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
