Hi there - I just joined the site and I live in Northwest Visalia. I just switched back to Sprint from crappy T-MO. Where in Visalia have you seen LTE? Also, I have the Note 3 which obviously doesn't support Spark. Did the phone that you use that got LTE in Visalia support Spark or just the single 1900 band? Thanks!

Welcome to S4GRU and back to Sprint. Go by Costco and LTE is abundant there. Also, check out sensorly.com and you can see all the tracks that local users have laid with confirmed LTE. I have an iPhone 5 and now a Nexus 5, and both phones pick up 1900 LTE with ease.

Here we see a rare congregation of feral AT&T trucks, grazing in their native habitat behind the dollar store and recycling place. I did not dare stop my car, for your average AT&T truck start

Not sure if you mentioned this earlier in the thread, but what kind of speeds were you seeing on both devices?

 

Saw your post in Selma on Dinuba/Orange.  That's about 1/4 mile from where I lived for 10 years.  Pretty cool I'll have LTE if I go back to visit my parents!

14-17 down on the Nexus, and 7-16 down on the iPhone. When I got the 7 down, I think I was inside the Sprint store near the back. Signals are a little weaker there.

I'm still waiting on the Acequia tower to go live with LTE, so that way I can use LTE at work (near downtown) and not have to use the Airrave at my house.  Netflix streams flawlessly off LTE near the Northside Lowe's and Best Buy

I have no reasonable explanation or idea why the Acequia site isn't live. There is no logical rhyme or reason. I hope it goes live soon.

Sorry if i seem like such a noob at this but what exactly does "go live" mean? like the tower i have at home seems to have working LTE but it only works well like at night and in the morning. through out the day it just keeps switching back and forward from 3G to 4G. does that mean its gone live? i live in pixley

Going live is where the tower has been accepted and is actively broadcasting LTE signals.

Also based on Sensorly findings, there is LTE just south of Porterville on Highway 65. Anyone here map that recently? Oddly enough, it's on 65 and the tracks stop at Hesse Ave. Hmm.

Best guess is that it might be from a site which was upgraded on 12/413.

That's after 21 hours of usage AJ.

Did you make a run to Baja California and back?

To their credit, they're not lying, just reading exactly what is found in their tools provided by Sprint. The trouble with that is 100% of the towers in the LCV have said 4G to be upgraded in the next 90 days since at least May.

 

*edit - not 100% but the majority of towers*

 

Yup, 90 days always seems to be 90 days away

 

Im going to be in Fresno tomorrow....I remember the last two times I was in town I was hoping thered be LTE (May and August)

      Its crazy what MM wave is capable of in ideal conditions. I took advantage of some overnight work this week to do some testing on my way home.  https://imgur.com/a/zPNUWVs

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
