Correct me if I'm wrong, but LTE cannot go live without back-haul. NV may be complete on the site and may offer minimal 3G improvement, but you won't see LTE till back-haul is installed.
I understand the frustration but didn't Verizon launch LTE with 30-40% complete in Chicago as well? Then Verizon continued its LTE build out until it covered all of chicago land. Yet Verizon still advertised 4G LTE when it didn't finish covering Chicago.
Sprint knows its service isn't up to par in chicago, right now customers have to bite the bullet and be patient. Building out a state of the art network doesn't happen overnight. Launching at 30-40% shows progress and that's what I want to see. It shows that the market will be covered shortly.
As a Sprint customer, I'm paying much less than I would at AT&T, Verizon, and Tmobile for sub par service. I understand that and accept that. I also understand the upgraded network is coming and its going to be a bumpy road to get there.
