Darkenv2 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 My buddy is working in Gaffney right now and he just texted me he's getting LTE! He sent me this screenshot from his EVO 4GLTE. The rollout continues!!! https://www.dropbox.com/s/7cx1bn5hfptudwf/Photo%20Aug%2015%2C%207%2053%2010%20PM.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apathy1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Seeing a few more yellow marks on the map now, looks like a tower in Roebuck and Boiling Springs area. Has anyone been able to test any of these new sites? I find it hilarious that LTE is turning on in all the places that surround where I am in Spartanburg but not actually in Spartanburg haha. It's a good sign though, hoping to see some LTE out here really soon. Live near Boiling Springs. I have the tri-fi hotspot. Haven't been able to test the only LTE tower. But LTE did show up for the first time the other day. The signa wasl poor. I tried to connect to it anyway but it then disappeared. My closest tower just popped up as 3g completed. I was surprised because it never showed in progress. The first night I was receiving great speeds (compared to the norm). That only lasted a day though. Now its back to the same old. I am hoping it's still being worked on or the new equipment hasn't been switched on yet. Disappointing but nice to see some progress in my area. Since this is my only form of internet access, I have been watching the maps incessantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seventhwhite Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Anyone have any guess if the upstate is going to be in the next round of 4g LTE official cities? I'd say there's a chance, now with reports of Gaffney getting LTE, but it's anyone's guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get some 4g on faris bridge road hope it expands out more once the towers get fully upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewezgrays Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 columbia is finally getting some love!!! Is this from the 4G site that was approved several weeks ago near I26 and I77, or another site? Here's to hoping for a rash of upgrades going live all across the three major SC markets!

I get some 4g on faris bridge road hope it expands out more once the towers get fully upgraded. Anywhere that had native Sprint signal is being upgraded. Your entire market is under way, it so depends now on backhaul, paperwork, and crew availability. Pretty much every part of the Sprint network will have at least some LTE by the end of the year. Work will continue into 2014, but that will mainly be filling in holes and getting the last few markets launched.

JONBOY345 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Great news. Was out at the tower just off I26 near Piney Grove Rd and got LTE. FINALLY. Hoping to get it farther down I-26 towards 378 soon. On the rich man's HTC, sipping on some Moonshine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard about it a had to get some if it mapped. I used my HTC ONE so I'm sure there's more out there other phones could have connected to.

cholland89 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I ran sensorly this morning on 26 and have the same readings for LTE. Is there a way to see what sites have been approved, specifically the tower locations? What about the total number of LTE towers that are being worked on? The Sprint website provides the worthlessly vague '# Data Upgrades' for all of the local towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are detailed maps that show the exact pinpoint location of all the towers that went live in the sponsors forum. Well worth it in my opinion. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/index donate link is in the top right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkenv2 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I got LTE on East Main Street on 290 in Duncan where I85 is, not really sure which tower I was on though, never got to get a speedtest done before the signal was gone because I just got on I85 to head home but I did have 4 bars. I also passed the tower near exit 66 on I85 that's recently been listed as 4G on the way home but no sign of LTE connectivity though.

Darkenv2 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I got these on my way to work this morning coming from 29 towards Spartanburg. Coverage started just before exit 66 on I-85 and ended just before passing Fairforest Clevedale Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkenv2 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just got this at work. I'm really hoping this is a good sign that the LTE is very close to be turning on because I can't even check my email right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
