danlodish345 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It was neglect until 10x10 showed up. But here Sprint is still by far the slowest. Also that same 10x10 site has 6 LTE antenna and 4 of the 6 are under 3mbps that sector was the only one pulling 50mbps. I would definitely say Sprint has neglected the area but is showing signs ofbm getting better.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Coverage isn't too bad. 10x10 is pretty widespread. There's still spots where you'll drop to 3G but LTE will reconnect after a minute or two.

Even the first LTE device on Sprint from years ago supports 10x10. It's part of Band 25. They'd even support 15x15 or 20x20 (if that was in use).

Jacksonville and Ocala are so far apart I don't know how we are considered Jax and not Orlando. Verizon considers us Orlando and I think At&t does too.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk That's great because up here where I live in the Northeast Sprint is still rolling out 800 voice. LTE is also still being worked on. But has improved Substantially. So there's only one band 41 carrier in the entire County? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just happen to have a cluster of GMOs nearby. They're not "still rolling out" ... It's out, the GMOs are just a barrier for it on all sites.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Sprint is good where I live now I moved to a different part of town and I get full service with band 41. I can't wait to see what sprint has done elsewhere. So will the rest of the county ever get band 41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Network vision was done faster than b41 upgrades and that was way more work and money. The problem is Sprint is still paying for Network vision 1.0 so they didn't fund 2.0 as fast as they should have.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk A full 8T8R upgrade cost the same as deploying something like 3 or 4 macro NV sites from scratch. In others, far more expensive.

Much, much cheaper than a full 8T8R upgrade. Sent from my LG G5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
