Glad to see the LTE is continuing to grow in the Spartanburg area, at my house I'm still getting good LTE and now on the drive to work today I had LTE for 70% of the ride over, which is a vast improvement from yesterday as I had it for about 25% of the ride. Keep it coming! Also got a bit of LTE the other day near Westgate Mall, got 22mbps download.

The complaints in this thread need to stop. They violate posting rules, as S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.   Several of you should consider becoming sponsors, thus having access to our Netwo

I confirmed GMO band 25 LTE on a site in Myrtle market last night. Finally.

Download the Sensorly app and look. Just because it's not announced doesn't mean that they aren't testing it.

I always check sensorly. Once again , NO UPGRADES IN ROCK HIL.

They do seem to have left ya'll behind in Rock Hill.  Working all around you.  I can not imagine it being much longer.  I believe you have some in progress sites out that way, too...

I was getting 4G at Ray Hopkins gym in Mauldin but it disappeared before I got past the strip of stores towards I-385 on E Butler Rd. Looking at the tower map at Sprint, I'm guessing that's where you switch to the tower near the 85/385 intersection. Does anyone know if that tower is in the process of being upgraded too? Also, are these upgrades supposed to increase reception quality? Thank you for any information!

Oh man!  Look at Sensorly in the SC market!  Just about all of I-77 from Charlotte to Columbia is now LTE (wasn't just this past Saturday when I went to Georgia from Charlotte on I-77), and most of I-26 all the way to I-95, and even down I-95 towards Savannah as well.  That is impressive!

Either sensorly had a bunch of data that wasn't published yet, or someone was very busy today mapping down the highway! That wasn't nearly like that yesterday at all! It makes me happy, bring that action on over to Myrtle Beach!

Going down I95 that almost looks too good to be true, no? I will be down much of that Wednesday so I will see for myself, but there is some large spaces between sites out there and that line does not break even once... Very suspicious...

Yeah I'm with you on that , I actually live right below charlotte in rock hill and I travel on 77 all the way to fort mill and not once has my phone had lte going up 77. I've done a prl update and toggled airplane mode but nothing here. None of the sites are in progress near that area so idk what the deal is with sensorly.

Today's acceptance report does not reflect anything along this solid stretch of mapping down 77 and 26 and 95... I am thinking it is a mapping error on Sensorly... Unless they were testing the entire stretch or something...

Are you sure you are not hitting 4G from the site that we know is live on 26 by Piney Grove?

Now that I think about it, it's possible.

 

I was sitting at the base of the Chili's tower when I I took this...

 

I typically drop LTE from the Piney Grove tower by the time I get to Harbison Blvd. Joys of the HTC ONE....

I have been noticing, In Columbia on my HTC one, that 1X and DO are very consistent on the downlink. But LTE seems to be around 10 - 15 db less than either of the old technologies.. This could lead to some very spotty LTE once the market is fully deployed...

That's what I'm worried about in Berea when they were testing 4g I got it around white horse rd and cherrydale but quickly lost signal, I hope this is due to them testing the system but not having it up to full power or tuned correctly. If it is spotty I will be disappointed I'm just tired of my dial up 3g.

Same here. Love my ONE, but I'm so used to 3G it won't make me not like the device.

Yeah, uhhh, after some inspection -- I am going to go with bogus data.  From near Florence south into GA I only got 4G in two places -- Yemmesse and Hardeeville (exactly where it is expected to be).. I DID have a LOT of problems holding signals though (lots of roaming on Verizon RIGHT on I95 -- and when I shut off roaming I often showed NO signal).. so I hope that is a sign they ARE working fast on things alone the freeway (and who knows maybe that Sensorly data came on a day when they turned on all the LTEs for a day)...

 

I know this belongs more in the GA/SC coast thread but it was brought up here...

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      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....
