They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

The towernear my home is offline again. This time the electricity problem but the electricity returns and the tower continue offline. I'm getting tired off this.

Yes... sprint service is getting worse. If this problem continues I think i will cancel and go with at&t. I will pay a little more but i will get good signal and fast lte speeds.

Never wait for a carrier to upgrade, if another carrier is better for you, you should go.

Iwas thinking that Sprint was great When I cancel my Tmobile service. I have in my hand my Tmobile sister iPhone 7 and have signal like always and a speedtest throws 24.2mbs. I can't even watch a youtube video with my LG v20 with Sprint. I loose the hope.

Considering Samsung designed a B13 RRU... It's likely.

You can say that again. The last time I was in the USVI (about 2 years ago) getting a signal wasn't the problem, speeds were.

Yeah, at any given moment I would be lucky if I can get .5mb to .7mb down while on lte but the crazy part is that on 3g I get a reliable 1.5mb to 2.2mb down no matter the time of day regardless of location.  So when I am not on wifi, I am actually on 3g because its faster and more reliable than lte.  AT&T though, averaging 30mb to 40mb down.

When the sprint-openmobile merger will start???

Sprint needs an improvement in PR ASAP..

The sprint puerto rico facebook page has so many bad comments regarding LTE speeds and signal strenght.

Why are you waiting for that to happen? Just switch to another carrier then check back in a year.

Simple answer...

Because i have a lease and going to another carrier will cost me more than $300.

FYI, upgrades and such take time, especially with Sprint's budget situation, nothing happens overnight in this industry.

 

So if you have no choice but to wait, id say check in every 6 months.

I know upgrades doesnt happen overnight but...

 

The problem is that this situation has being happening For a long time ( more than one year)

 

Even the workers know the problem.. and their solution is "use 3G" or "use wifi" lol

 

But.. lets see what happens

The same happens to me. My lease ends in 9 months. I have 3 lines. But me and mi girlfriend agree to switch Asap to T-Mobile when the lease ends. All my family have T-Mobile and the speeds are comparable to the Sprint LTE Plus. With this time wirh Sprint I conclude that is far away in performance from the other carriers. No Volte, the data are 2G speeds. I loose hope. Also I got earlier today a email from Sprint they denied the Magic Box to my account.

Can't even watch Netflix. I have a LG v20 and a unlimited plan that cant even browse Facebook hahaha

 

Maybe you cannot watch Netflix because too many people are trying to watch Netflix, causing network congestion.

 

Look, a mobile phone is not a TV replacement.  And "unlimited" data is not a broadband Internet replacement.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
