It can go either way.

Sprint did say that they would be under-promising and over-delivering(at least in regards to speeds).

But they did also make errors before on that page.

LTE

devices coming to

Sprint

." under the link, but when I clicked the link, it went to the regular 4G LTE page where they have the 3 announced devices but no further information on the markets that will be rolling out LTE. I hope they have something in the works where you can search for your area and see when/if it is coming to your area. I even tried going to the cached page, but that was the same page as the current one.

Remember that the first cities announced were all Ericsson cities. We haven't heard the Samsung and AlcaLu cities yet. Stay tuned.

I read somewhere that stated Sprint will be ushering LTE on the current Wimax cities throughout 2012 and they are doing it rather quickly. But damn if I can't find that article.

 

We wrote a quick blurb about this subject back in October. There is a slide that Sprint has shown all over the place that say they will covering 123 Million Americans with LTE by the end of 2012. Leaving 67M people in WiMax areas and 56M in Non-WiMax areas. Sounds like they are going to be mixing it up.

If you are able to find the article, post the link. Thanks!

What Sprint did was imbed the 22 communities into the metadata for the LTE landing page. I'm sure that they intend to rollout LTE faster than they will tell people to make customers happy. I'm sure hoping that, anyway.

 

When you visit the landing page for LTE, right click on the page and click on 'View Page Source' (if using Firefox), and the 5th line down says: "meta name="description" content". That is where they put that line of code that shows up in yahoo and google searches for Sprint LTE.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
