Odell Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 maybe we just need alcohol... some of the posts i read on here make me want to be a fall down drunk There are only so many times one can read; "When are they going to get LTE {insert random city here}? I really need it! My 3G sucks! Sprint screwed me! I can't even stream live pR0n on my Hero anymore!". We need something to break up the monotony. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericdabbs Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 for Chicago - are they going to wait till the whole area is ready to flip the switch? I understand the Elgin --> Rockford area is complete (which is where I live) so would be nice if they turned that on soon.... Not gonna happen any time soon. Downtown Chicago hasn't even started yet. Probably won't be done until Oct at the very earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinhtien Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi all, New to the forums, but I have been lurking for awhile. Thanks to all for the useful information. FWIW, I saw a posting here http://insidesprintn...ntonio-markets/ stating LTE goes live on 6/7 in the first target cities supposedly. I live in Snellville and work on the north side of Atlanta so I hope it is true. I am waiting on my EVO LTE to be delivered and hope to report back here with good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to S4GRU and congrats on your first post. I did see the ISN post yesterday, but I interpreted that as to mean that LTE device customers will get a text on June 7th alerting them of the launch date for their market. I didn't interpret it to say that they will get a text stating that it's now live. My contact in Sprint Product Development could not verify this at all. It's not in any of his info. This doesn't mean it is not going to happen as ISN says, because I regard ISN very highly. The guy works for Sprint, after all. He reports what he sees. I just was not able to confirm the info myself in this instance. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinhtien Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Darn, you are abolutely right Robert. I hope the actual launch date is not too far off...the devil is in the details. I need some of that beer the others are talking about. I have been living out a painful 2yr contract with ATT with no data and lousy voice service so even just 3g data will be a huge step up for me. Thanks for the welcome. Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irev210 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 So I am too lazy to read through this thread. Can someone just tell me when I haz LTE? heh I'll take a beer too, please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the welcome. Mark AT&T LTE is amazing in the Atlanta market... I hit 45mbps down with them on a samsung SII skyrocket right near stone mountain which is neighboring to snellville..... so I don't understand youre theory on at&t data...

ralphkaz Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 i swear to god if 1 more person asks when chicago's LTE is getting turned on, im going to go randy quaid on some of yous. haha - my question wasn't about "chicago" per say, I know some areas of Chicago (which is a huge market) are done and I was just curious if they would turn it on "piece by piece" instead of waiting for the whole enchilada to be complete before flipping the switch... I'm sure this same question could apply to other, larger markets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I just got a free txt from Sprint saying ISN is full of sh*t. I'm not willing to take a bet on it. From everything of his I have read, he must work in a high level of Customer Service Support or Technical Support. He is reporting what he sees/hears in memos, system notifications and conference calls. If it varies from reality, then Sprint could not implement or chose not to implement what was disclosed.

pyroscott Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Uh, I wuz wondering if u can tell me when Nimrod MN will get LTE. I've driven within 19 miles of there a few times and would like to know when it will have LTE. This info does me no good because I have Verizon, but I still want to know just so I can know. Thanks.

S4GRU Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 AS funny as this thread has gotten for many of us, especially those who have been around S4GRU for awhile, it is starting to get to the point where newbies and visitors could really misinterpret what S4GRU is all about. Let's make sure we aren't singling out any S4GRU members in our jokes or criticisms. That would be a violation of our guidelines. The only exception to that rule is PlanetEarth. Carry on!
