LTE news to customers on 6/7/12


Recommended Posts

i was just about to post this info, Hope it goes live this week

 

The post at ISN says that customers will be notified on 6/7 of launch dates for Mid Summer 2012. So, I am not getting my hopes up, yet. I cannot get a hold of my source that could corraborate this or provide more info. :(

I can't wait. Although I must say the 3g network is vastly improved in many areas of san Antonio compared to its complete worthlessness of 6 months ago.

 

sent from my EvoLTE

hopefully those that live in these 4 markets can report back if they actually got the text message on 6/7 and the proposed launch date for that particular market

I don't think LTE will launch until the end of June. I think Sprint wants the extra 2-3 weeks to try to get as many LTE towers up and running. Maybe Sprint didn't want to make a bad impression on its customers for waiting so long for LTE and have it flop. Maybe Sprint wants to send the text message to say the 4 markets are live for LTE instead of constraining itself with "LTE is coming on 6/XX".

I think it is completely related to the EVO LTE connectivity issue, myself.

um.........what is a text message gonna tell you that this site already hasn't?!!!?/1

 

well the text message would come straight from Sprint so I would assume it would tell you the exact launch date or hell it might say...LTE is live in your area right now. This site doesn't tell you the exact date of when LTE will be launched in the city but rather an estimation of when specific markets are targeted for deployment and when individual towers should be up and running.

It would make sense. Could you briefly summarize the issue with the EVO LTE connectivity again. The EVO LTE phones currently cannot to any LTE towers?

Muffinman talks about it in this thread: http://s4gru.com/ind...e/page__st__100

 

I'm taking this, and another comment I read in another forum as validation for the LTE Connectivity issues we reported here: http://s4gru.com/ind...on-as-may-15th/

 

I'm thinking of writing an article on it. Sprint/HTC needs to get an OTA out fixing the issue and allow us all to connect to LTE poste haste.

It makes sense. This is definitely a showstopper issue that needs to be resolved on the Evo LTE before LTE launch. I can't imagine the backlash it would have on HTC and Sprint if the Evo LTE had LTE connection issues when the market is live.

    • These creditors are going to get screwed one way or another. I see no exit for them that will be painless. Rule # 1 - Never get in bed with Charlie.

    • I don't disagree entirely but a lot of the really rural coverage (like where I grew up) still has little or no competition.  There is a lot of overlap but there are also a number of unique sites that will help things. But also, the fact is that a lot of the rural T-Mobile coverage is still "map filler" coverage that doesn't actually provide reliable service.  This will help. https://imgur.com/a/LRWF3FO Using where I grew up as an example, magenta is T-Mobile, blue is US Cellular, and gold are unique sites Shentel planned but didn't get a chance to construct before the buyout derailed things. EDIT: And even a number of the T-Mobile sites shown here are Shentel conversions.  The only reason for the site NW of Keysville is that Shentel built that one before the buyout pause.  The site southwest of Meherrin wasn't a Shentel conversion, although Shentel did plan to build there, but rather was added to fill a gap along US-360 when the Shentel conversions were taking place.  Three of the five sites in Farmville proper are Shentel conversions also, as is the one north of town just barely on the map. - Trip
