Sprint LTE May 2012 Schedule Maps

[S4GRU]

I'm not eligible for a device upgrade until December, but as a matter of pride, I'm disappointed that LA will get LTE before the Bay Area. C'mon Samsung, get your act together!

 

I know...right?

Thanks. I figured it wouldn't be since they shut down the Decatur retail store. sprint. Com cays there is no 4G yet I think we have a blackout tower or some thing like that. I believe tmo and Verizon share this tower with them.

I have already read that, but thank you anyways. I was just curious if there was a more specific time frame, unless it's there and I completely missed it.

Me too. I really hope the wait for LTE in the Bay Area won't be as bad as it was for WiMax (still very limited). We're supposedly in round-one and there's not a single sign that it's coming.

I realize S4GRU has stated that DC rollout has already started, but does anyone have any idea of the progress? Both 3G and LTE.

 

So far I have not noted much improvement. Signal has always been solid downtown (Outdoors - Indoors I roam on Verizon) but speeds not so much...

There have been lots of delays in the SFO market due to backhaul contract issues and local permitting. We will have a schedule update within the next week or so.

Only approx. 1% of the sites have been converted in the DC market. Unless you were connected to one of the upgraded towers, you wouldn't notice any improvements. It will take the average market 6 months to complete NV from start to finish, it will take 9-12 months in the largest markets.

No I wish... that location is extremely fast (even before NV).

 

 

 

This is the office life at sprint speed (only about 2 miles away, actually) -

Also new here; any news on the Indianapolis market area? Also, who will be deploying for that market - Ericsson or Samsung? The vendor map that's been propogated around here isn't abundantly clear on that.

Damned hippies! Why can't they sign off on the permits and go smoke some weed

Not very scientific. Washington beltway just south of American Legion Bridge or the Potomac in VA. There was a guy on the tower working on an antenna. It's a shorter beefy monipole tower. I tried to get on speed test and open signal but I transfered to another tower so couldn't verify anything

Oh, so you were the guy swerving whilst looking at his cell phone? I thought you looked familiar.

 

There are 3 towers in that stretch that show as due for NV upgrades but they don't seem to be on the May 2012 schedule map.

[Pillowsplat]

I tried to snap a pix of the guy in the tower . But my since evo 3d lags so bad all I got was pix of my b pillar. A 4g lte would have nailed it with the faster shutter.

How the Houston area looking?

Thanks in advance.

Hi new member here. I just sent a donation via paypal. Im assuming the password for the members forum wil be emailed? Do you by chance have any details on southern ocean county nj such as zip codes 08050 or 08087. I saw this area seemed to be added to phase 1 but was curious if you had any details. Thanks!

[Bar1203]
