  1. Thanks Robert. This was indeed a very helpful and thoughtful article. Really does help knowing what is really going on. I appreaciate what you do here and wish to apologize for my prior misplaced comments. While they may have been true, this was the wrong forum.
  2. Yes, the educated folks should recognize when there is a fundemental problem with a new system that is NOT working as designed. No one is getting reliable LTE communications anywhere and very few are getting any connection at all. With 40% of the towers in service the reports should be showing MUCH better availability than this. The LTE rollout is NOT working. The sooner its admitted, the sooner a solution to the problem at hand can be found. I have a latest gen device, fully updated and its not connecting over a wide swath of the coverage area tested. This is true for most users reporting in. What few are connecting are not keeping the connection even when stationary. HOUSTON, THERE IS A PROBLEM. It may indeed be the handsets. If so, fine but figure it out and lets get it fixed.
  3. I drove down the west side this morning. 249@ Louetta to I10 @ Kirkwood and through most of the energy corridor. Not a single instance of LTE service and I checked at every stop light driving down eldridge and along I10 from Hwy 6 to Kirkwood. This is not 40% coverage. Its not 10% coverage. Something is VERY wrong with the network or the EVO and S3 devices in service. The sooner Sprint admits there is a problem, the sooner we can get it working. Denial just prolongs the problem. I will do my part and stop by a Corporate repair center in an LTE area this afternoon and report the network diffeculty. I expect the usual 'nothing wrong' and 'we have no way to test' response.
  4. I expected at least SOME meaningful LTE coverage to be available as of July 15th. That was a clear promise not kept. From the testing done so far and reported all over the internet, and as experienced by ME, there is FAR less than 40% coverage of the Houston market. Less than 10% is more like it. I am less than 1/4 mile from one of the towers you show as being live. No LTE. I will be traveling the city all over the west side today, really hope to see better news. Yes, I did expect the new service to at least work on launch day in most areas. Very few folks have reported ANY connections that actually work and stay connected. Over promised and under delivered. Just look at the coverage map presented TODAY on the Sprint website. That is a clear indication of promise made and is nowhere near real. Quit making excuses for them. Its plain and simple that they missed the promised launch.
  5. Well yet again, Sprint has over promised and under delivered. What a non event this has turned out to be. I live on the NW side 249 & Louetta rd. Drove to Willowbrook, 1960 & 45 and back to the house the length of Louetta. No 4G anywhere. From the reports on the various fourms, I am not alone. Some launch. Oh, and 3G is the same crappy 50kbps I have been stuck with for months. No improvement there either. Can't even stream a radio station on TuneIn. What is it I am paying for Sprint?
