  1. I will be buying 3. 2 for my brother and his wife and one for me as backup Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  2. Have LTE in downtown Midland and IH-20 and 158 intersection. It extends to about 1 mile south of IH-20. I'm assuming that tower ** is pushing the signal. Speeds are atrocious. I can only get about the same speeds as CDMA, but the signal is all over the place. The best I've gotten is 1.2 mbps down and 47 mbps up, though that was captured right at the last second.
  3. That's what I was thinking since they own majority stock. How would they get to the 68% though?
  4. Found this while browsing Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/12/wsj-clearwire-to-endorse-dishs-offer-push-back-vote-on-sprint/ How does this effect Sprint and Network Vison? Will the sweet 2.5GHz spectrum be out of reach? Will this throw a wrench in Softbank's potential acquisition?
  5. Well I was more concerned with getting the pic and showing the experts here than what was in the image. I figured it might've been ATT since our maps don't show this tower in progress. I don't know how you saw that, but that's a great sign!!
  6. Found these panels at tower DA04AL048. Also have seen crews working on said tower. Att is supposed to be upgrading towers here as well. Their online maps even show LTE in our area, but it's not live. Keeping my fingers crossed for it being Sprint. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

  8. I think the confusion with the reps is they are confusing work starting with LTE being ready. Since I have access to Sprint site databases, and not one LTE site has been completed to date anywhere in the West Texas market, I know it's going to be a while until full coverage or completion. It typically takes 6-12 months for full coverage to appear over a market. Since West Texas is not a huge market in number of sites, it may be like 6-8 months. They just started in West Texas in April. You will likely have a few sites live in the next 30-45 days in this market. Full coverage between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and market completion middle of next year. Robert via Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Well any progress is good for me. I'm not expecting a fast and painless process. We may not have a huge subscriber market, but we are huge geographically and have dozens of small towns that would look good on corporate PowerPoints. Mostly my impatience comes from being in one of the first markets for WiMax. I didn't have to wait over a year to get faster speeds. I got spoiled. Even if we only see increased CDMA speeds out of this for a few months until we see LTE, I would be much happier. On the plus side, I love learning everything I can from this site, and feel much more empowered knowing the spectrum side along with the technical and marketing sides of the smartphone market. Sprint is doing the right things, it may not be the easiest way of going about it, but it will pay off in the very near future. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
  9. Even so, it's great to know that LTE is finally coming to our neck of the woods. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. I'd like to be able to actually use my phone outside the house to do more than make phone calls. According to a relative, she was told about the same date. Apparently, the reps that work in the area recieved emails regarding the rollout. I live right next to the tower in progress in Midland. WIll post whatever I find.
  10. Ok thank you. Glad to know there's at least some progress in West TX.
  11. How can you tell if a site has been accepted on the sponsor maps?
