  1. Wow. Thats a big fail and completely misleading. Thanks for the info.
  2. Hey everyone... Whats the word on SPARK in Rochester? I didn't think we were anywhere on the radar for SPARK, but my S5 that I just got a couple of days ago is displaying the little sunburst icon in the notification bar, and from everything I read, that means I'm connected to the SPARK network. Thoughts? Am I missing something here? Thanks...
  3. DirecTV's app is only "really good" if you are home, on your own network, and your receiver is also on the network. Then you can watch probably 60ish channels on your phone/tablet, plus any recordings on your DVR. If you are off your network, the app will let you watch maybe about a dozen channels, and no DVR recordings. Anyhow, for watching the Olympics, I'll be using the NBC Sports Live Extra app. I believe they are supposed to be streaming every single event via the app. As always, you need to be a cable/satellite subscriber in order to stream it... but it seems to work very well. As long as I can get my 4G signal.
  4. Left home in Brighton, hopped on 590S to 390N to Chili Ave, and had LTE every step of the way until I hit the 204 extension. I also have REALLY strong 3G signal in my office off of Jetview Dr, so I'm hoping its just a matter of "flipping the switch" to turn on LTE in a nearby tower. With the Olympics starting late next week, I'd love to have enough signal strength to stream them while I'm at work...
  5. Hey everyone... looks like a TON of LTE went live today. I drove from Chili, down Jetview, back around the back of the airport, down Scottsville and into Henrietta, and had a whole boatload of LTE along the way (all areas where I've never seen it before). Then tonight, Brighton seems to be blanketed with it. I was even getting it inside my house off Winton near 12 Corners. FInally I feel like we've caught up with the rest of society.
  6. Just noticed this via Sensorly today.. pretty sure thats a brand new spot being reported. Not sure if thats the tower that would service me in the Winton/Monroe area, but there's finally hope!
  7. Hey everyone... first time poster here... and happy to see that Sprint is finally working on LTE here in Rochester. I was worried that, because we had WiMax, we'd fall to the bottom of the priority list because Sprint could pad their 4G numbers with us. Anyhow... can anyone fathom a guess on how long it normally takes to "convert" a city the size of Rochester? Just wondering if I'll start seeing towers come online in the next month? 3 months? 6 months? Any guidance is appreciated. THanks everyone!
