One thing bothers me about the validity of this claim and the picture. The server hosting his test is in Russia. That seems like it wouldn't be possible. The farthest away I can choose here in Kentucky is Oregon on the mobile app which is where that seems to be originating from. So logic says someone in Dallas wouldn't really be able to choose Russia.

I had a member PM me about a LTE signal going live near his house in the DFW market a few days ago. Speeds have been very intermittent.

 

 

I am OG sprint LTE. o yeaaa

 

OG Sprint LTE? :rofl:

 

I will give you props. You were the first post I saw in all the internet with a confirmed Sprint LTE signal and speed test.

I drove by this area in Dallas yesterday and confirmed the lte is live there. Unfortunately the speeds were not good so I assume they are still working on it. I would post my speedtest, but it's not impressive, less than 1mb down and up. Ping times were great though.

Would you happen to know when lte may come to tyler,tx(90miles east of dallas)zipcode 75703

 

It appears that Tyler is part of the "East Texas" market, which hasn't been announced by S4GRU as of this time. I would suspect that Tyler will see the Network Vision upgrade sometime in 2013.

Yeah my folks live in Tyler and they are always the last to get anything. They barely have any DSL options and Cox sold the market off to SuddenLink, after they originally bought it from TWC.

 

Meanwhile in the VZW areas of DFW they just rolled out 300Mbps speeds on FIOS.

so even if the map shows data speed upgrades it doesnt mean they will install LTE?? Verizon's lte has been in tyler for about 2months now

Let me clarify: Sprint is rolling out LTE across their entire network so yes, Tyler will get LTE. They just aren't going to be in the first round of deployments so it may be 2013 before it happens.

This is correct. Thanks for taking the reins on this one.

2013 is not going to happen for entire footprint

 

The current schedule has the final market starts in November/December 2013. And since the last markets are a lot smaller than this years markets, they will wrap them up in 3 to 4 months.

 

Network Vision should be 100% complete by April 2014.

I read that they dropped Tyler, tax cause only 1 guy there wants LTE

 

Well I heard that that guy has been a customer for 12 years and demands LTE, so it's back on. His uncle also works for Sprint.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Wfmets45 · Posted

      Does anyone know how well implemented is VoNR in the 5 boroughs. Does anyone use it? I have an iPhone 15 Pro. Does anyone know if T-Mobile is still working on upgrading their network? It seems like the service has gone down. My phone struggles in parts of the Belt Pkwy, and data is slow.

      I come to the US Open men’s semifinals and finals every year, and I’ve never been able to use my T-Mobile phone successfully. Usually AT&T is the top performer—good to hear Verizon has upped their game.

      One sector down, two more to go — — — — —  I was at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open today and the good news is that there is an n25/41 DAS setup throughout USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. From the "boardwalk" to the outdoor concession area, to inside the stadium; you connect to standalone n41 and n25 everywhere via oDAS and iDAS. The bad news is that in the actual stadium it's beyond useless. While I saw strong coverage as indicated by signal bars and I was able to make calls and send texts, there was no data throughput at all. Running a speed test failed 9 out of 10 times. The only time I got a speed test to work was by switching to LTE funnily enough or by using NSA 5G where the test would initiate via LTE and then n41 would kick in giving me ~20Mbps. T-Mobile has so much traffic on their 5G network that now n41 gets bogged down before LTE. That was a first for me! In the stadium in the same area Verizon got 1.2Gbps on mmWave and LTE kept timing out when trying to test it. My Boost line on AT&T got upwards of 150Mbps on C-band and I know they have mmWave deployed as I saw their Nokia mmWave antennas deployed but I was unable to test it. In the outdoor concession area T-Mobile performed well getting over 150Mbps on n41. AT&T in these areas saw over 250Mbps on C-band and I didn't get the opportunity to test Verizon there. It just seems like 140MHz n41 is not enough capacity for the amount of people inside the stadium. Hopefully T-Mobile is considering deploying n258 to all of these stadiums since they now own that mmWave nationwide. It'd make a world of difference in terms of capacity at these venues.

      Looks like the second n41 carrier in Seattle was finally upgraded to 90 MHz recently. No idea why it took so long but at least they finally did it.
