Upgraded out of coverage on my MiFi 500...

Looks like I got upgraded out of coverage at my office -- My tri-band MiFi 500, which once had really strong B41 from a Clear site nearby, can only connect at 1x. I just came out of a seasonal standby period where I wasn't going to need the Hotspot, and now I can't even use the device in the one place I need it...

 

I still have a lot of time left on this contract. Do I have an 'out' with this issue? Will I be able to break contract and avoid an ETF?

Because you moved? Or your office moved?

Nothing moved - I was able to catch a B26 and a B41 signal (from a Clear tower .4 miles away) five months ago, nothing but 1x now.

Sounds like you're having some kind of technical issue with your Hotspot. Have you attempted to contact care?

That was going to be my next step. I checked for an update when I powered it on and I was up to date...

There's no 3G where you are? Mine works just fine on 3G

 

I don't have 3G at my house (I'm on 1x all the time, but have 100Mbps wifi, so that's kind of moot. :) )

 

In my office, I have spotty 3G/extended on my phone...

Is your iPhone about to still pick up B26?

I would definately open a sprint support ticket.

 

not to be too nosy, but where abouts in stl do you get only 1x? there is only a couple places I can think of off the top of my head where I get 1x or roaming.

 

Maryland Yards (off dorsett) and ameristar casino are where I can consistently get 1x or roaming.

I got the issue resolved - I had to get Sprint on the line & they took care of it.

I get 1x/extended at my house (Dale ave & Bellevue in Richmond Heights) and at work (Page & Ball Dr) in Maryland Heights. When the Mifi came back online, I had B41 pulling close to 30Mbps down...
