I was wondering if there was any information regarding updates in the nyc area. I live just north of the city and waiting patiently for improved coverage.

Great site BTW

We post an updated map in the Sponsors forum every week showing the latest Network Vision sites to go live, including in the NYC market. An example of the latest map is below:

I saw this map, and I am anticipating the release However; I wont be getting a Phone until after the SGIII drops so I can Choose between that and the EVO LTE. Who ever has the best radio is going to get my hands wrapped around it. LOL The one tower that's near 95I am guessing is in the Parkchester area of the Bronx ware in January I received over 1mb up and down on 3G. Phonedog has a review of the SGIII that has my attention not withstanding the specs of 1.9 ff camera 2gigs of ram, and possiblr better radio on paper.....SGIII looks promising!

Looking at the map, am I correct by saying that no 4g upgrades have been completed yet?

In the NYC market, Sprint is not reporting any of the NV complete sites yet are broadcasting LTE. However, we did receive a report that a member was able to connect to LTE in the Jersey cluster around Freehold/Marlboro.

Thanks Robert, I live in lower Westchester county, just north of the Bronx, and have noticed improved 3g data speeds, in areas. Can't wait for LTE :)

Hi guys, I live in Brooklyn. I have the EVO lte. while I used to see an average of 800kb for 3g on my Samsung, Now I get 1.3-2 mbps . I'm not sure if its the EVO or the nv. In any case how come we barley see new Yorkers writing about sprint in New work?

Looks like New yorkers don't like sprint...... Lol. With the improved speeds you are seeing I would guess its NV.

Its not just new York people talk bad about sprint all the time. Yeah the other carriers may have more coverage in more places but I only need my phone to work in my city and cities I vacation in. I've tried other carriers but sprints price to performance works for me. Anyway with network vision your going to see a major improvement in speeds and signal strength

I just did a speed test, I got 1820 down and 911 up.
What's funny is I did the test in Brooklyn and the tower is from Clifton NJ. I wonder what I would get in NJ.
Sorry I'm a New here, Is there a way to upload a picture on this site?

Thank you,
I have the paid forum runner and it wouldn't give me the option, only by other forums.

For me, if hit reply to a post, there are three buttons at the bottom of the text box using Forum Runner. Attachments is the middle one.

Interesting, I just tried again.
On xda it gives me the option and on S4GRU it only gives me send or cancel.
I'll try to reinstall it or if not ill try the link option.

The server hosting the speedtest session is in Clifton, NJ not the tower you are connected to.
