Sprint LTE June 2012 Schedule Maps


Recommended Posts

How far away are you from your closest cell tower, you can find out this information with Netmonitor.

 

.. unless it is one of those base stations that squawk coordinates that are not the actual location, but rather are programmed to be offset out some distance -- perhaps miles away -- for each sector. Netmonitor and some other utilities, such as CDMA Field Test, read these values from the Android API, which gets them from the base stations' broadcast. We don't know why this is the way it is, but Sprint's inconsistent programming of these coordinates on different base stations can confuse such utilities.

How soon can we get some updated info as for LTE coverage in Los Angeles Area? Last post I seen was last month about coming soon, just excited to have LTE instead of Wimax, Thanks for the Site/forum very helpful :))

Hopefully Sprint 4G LTE turns on in September as scheduled for the Chicago area. I am getting really impatient with Sprint's progress on the matter. Was told by Sprint it upgrades would be done by the end of April... end of June... sometime in September. They are really going to start losing customers. Verizon 4G LTE is already in our area; ATT 4G is in our area; Sprint 4G and LTE are NOT in our area.

 

:(:(:(:(:(

The first rule of the July map is: You do not ask about the July map.

Why are places like Puerto Rico and Ft Wayne scheduled for LTE and NV before a large very competitive market like Cincinnati.

 

Likely two reasons. Number one is backhaul. Sprint awarded backhaul contracts to dozens of successful bidders around the country. Some are able to start backhaul right away. Others have to establish a lot of infrastructure work in advance. This is the biggest factor in establishing an order.

 

The second reason is WiMax availability. In Second Round markets, there appears be some push for larger markets that never received WiMax at all. Even though many Americans slight Puerto Rico as being some small isolated place, they have nearly 4 Million people in their market. It is not like it is Minot, North Dakota. San Juan is a major U.S. city and it never received WiMax.

 

There has to be a deployment order. And there are going to be people happy and unhappy with the deployment order. I think that where Cincinnati fits in deployment order makes sense to everyone, except for possible Cincinnatians.

So i'm looking at some of the second round market completion dates and see that some are in August 2013. I'm starting to get nerves that they will not meet there goals for NV. I know i'm looking to far in the future but can you tell me when 3rd round should start. GO SPRINT!!!!!

The 3rd Round of NV starts around December/January. But markets take 8 to 13 months to complete. 2013 markets are smaller on the whole and will take much less time to complete. And NV is not supposed to be complete by the end of 2013. However, the final markets are supposed to be started before the end of 2013. NV should be completing around April/May 2014.

No idea if it was for sprint but when I was in the USVI at the end of May I saw the local internet co stringing a lot of new fiber. It made me wonder if it was for Sprint.

Really? I am in the USVI as I type this. Can you tell me where you saw this?

I drove up to lone site in Palm Beach County - Florida and saw no indications that LTE was active at the site. I took a few pictures of what the tower looked like in case anyone might be interested. I was only able to do a speed test on 3G. The best I got was 386kbps DL / 725 kbps UL Ping Time 135ms.

The two places I remember specifically: route 30 by the race track and on the corner of Kanal Gade/Norre Gade.

 

 

It was this company doing the work:

Press release:

Dunno if they are the AAV or not for sprint but they sure were stringing a lot of fiber. Considering that the Airport just got fiber... I suppose these guys are the only game in town for fiber backhaul. I am very curious how much Sprint was driving them to speed up deploying fiber.

    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
    • Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites. 
    • Lots of new multi-carrier nodes popping up in Bushwick. Crown Castle Fiber node at Ridgewood & Palmetto:   Crown Castle Solutions node at Irving & Jefferson:   Crown Castle Solutions node at Wilson & Noll:  
    • I’m surprised they’re running a 5x5 Band 66 carrier still. In NYC T-Mobile has 25x25 AWS and they’re running 20x20 Band 66 and 5x5 n66 (in testing). Presumably when n66 commercially launches they’ll drop Band 66 down to 15x15 and go straight for a 10x10 n66 carrier like they did with n25. 
    • Austin has now narrowed B2 to 15x15 to support a second 10x10 n25 channel, this time entirely in PCS A-F. So T-Mobile now has 35x35 FD (n71 + n25) and 180 MHz TD (n41) NR live here, and LTE single carrier bandwidth now tops out at 15x15. LTE is down to 5x5 B12, 15x15 B2, 10x10+10x10+5x5 B66, so they now have 5 carriers each of LTE and NR, with 45x45 total LTE.
