Dkoellerwx Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I was at Ontario Airport earlier this week and was connected go Band 26 while I was there and inside Ontario Mills. I thought they were gonna roll oub Band 26 when they were San Bernardino safety department was done rebanding. I have seen this issue before. From every thing I can tell on my phone it is from the second b25 carrier. I have seen this in San Diego, OC, and the IE. Sent from my HTC M9 Based on every Sprint GCI pattern we have available, that is Band 25 second carrier, not Band 26 as IKT said. Not sure why LTE Discovery is labeling it as such, Signal Check Pro will correctly identify it as B25^2. May want to send a bug report to LTE Discovery.

jasonsteele Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 B25 LTE switched on the towers between Indio and just outside Blythe on I-10, nice long stretch. Cactus City rest stop, Chiriaco Summit, Desert Center, all the way to the Wiley's Well rest area have usable data now. Blythe to about 10 miles east of Tonopah still EVDO and 1x, until Buckeye when LTE kicks in again.

I drive to Arizona to see my kids so this is big news Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, as a matter of fact I had unbroken LTE from West Hollywood to just past Wiley's Well...220 miles. Didn't drop to EVDO once. I was streaming iTunes Match the entire time. Up until Blythe, that is. That's a first, usually data was mostly unusable on that stretch of the 10 through the desert. Even checking email didn't work. So things are indeed still improving. I would of mapped if I didn't have an iPhone.

JaywalkerOperating Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Great to see Sprint finally upgrading these interstate sites!

ericdabbs Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The drive on the 15 interstate between Barstow and Las Vegas blows for LTE. Sprint still has a lot of work to do to upgrade all those sites to LTE. Also it would help if by the time those sites get upgraded to LTE that Sprint can deploy LTE 800 on those remote sites as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexuss4g Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Seems like service is still disrupted on the I15 at Cajon Blvd due to the fire that happened a few weeks ago. I was able to spot a ATT cow while going down hill, My Moto X Pure was roaming on Verizon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsrobert Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Well, I made a FCC complaint, Not really against Sprint, but San Bernardino County. Here's Sprint's response... See attached. In short, Sprint places the blame for the slow San Bernardino retune on the the IBEZ and the Mexico side not rebanding their 800mhz Apparently SB County can't reband their 800mhz Safety freq until Mexico side rebands first. And Sprint can't deploy 800mhz LTE until SB County rebands. A domino effect. So until the IBEZ is rebanded, and than SB County, LA Metro and other So Cal areas will have to wait for 800MHZ LTE.

nickj1399 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Spoke to an engineer who was installing some Nokia antennas in Pomona, CA off the 71. Said Sprint is really making a push to upgrade all the towers out in the IE and also install small cells because the IE is really lagging so that's a good thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that Riverside area, Temecula and some parts of downtown Pomona need improvement, but mostly are covered with LTE B41 now, yes a few times it rolls back to 3G but toggling airplane mode mostly will bring you back to LTE.

That's why sprint is rushing that. It is no indication on network deployments for the rest of the network.

Brynn0823 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 It looks like LTE coverage is growing from SoCal to Vegas. Its about 70% connected/completion. Great news. I also spoke with upper management. This should receive more upgrades by next month so that LA to Vegas drive should be all LTE within a month so he stated 800mhz would be on the towers for that drive just not in SoCal yet due to rebanding issue.
