riceatusc Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I wonder if this will have any effect on coverage around Williams Brice stadium during the football games. I hope so. I hate not having any signal at all at games. Really want to check other scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merckle Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I know it's still a little early but was curious of I'd there was any news to the Upstate (Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, etc) areas of LTE. We managed to get 4G wimax ina smaller town Greer inside of Greenville but never made it out side of that. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner Thanks for the quick response! Was just curious because I found out that we had wimax here and never knew. It doesn't show up on sprints website but did clear wires. So figured we weren't gonna be one of the last lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odell Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 When I saw this thread's title I was hopeful because I will be traveling to Spartanburg this weekend. Those hopes were quickly dashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owensri2 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Smh, it's always next year this next year that.. Man come on Sprint Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Columbia has been awful with 3G speeds up until the last month or so. Seems as if the band aid fixes will make the wait a bit easier until NV gets here. I've been consistently getting speeds in the 1-2 Mbps range for downloads, and around 1 Mbps uploads. Was getting 0.01-0.10 Mbps DL a lot before. I'll probably be moved to Charlotte, NC (next May) well before Sprint starts in Cola Town. Here is a Speedtest done just a few minutes ago...

SpenceSouth Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I travel up there frequently so I feel your pain. Sprint is the epitome of awful in that area (one of the few areas I can say I've been dissatisfied with Sprint in). Last time I was there my phone was completely unusable around downtown, USC, and the surrounding areas. Glad to hear they have improved a little since then though! It's going to be a long process, but I'm excited for what's to come with Sprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the eager thoughts of evil red and their lte network. I am trying to hold out I really am :-\[/quote'] Keep hanging on. When I was up in Washington state over the weekend and the pre-NV speeds were up over 1 Mbps it makes me hopeful for what is to come, and I'm not in the 1st 2 rounds of Network Vision.

mirlyn Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was on the Sprint campus a few months back, and as I was landing at the airport nearby, I realized I wasn't in NY anymore. Cows surrounding the airport, and everything was flat and featureless. Man, if you think KC is flat and featureless, you'll flip if you ever make it west of Salina. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owensri2 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 This is good news. It certainly is correct, as I've seen drastic speed improvements here in Columbia, SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merckle Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Well at work I get 2mb steady on 3g. Don't know if it's just because no one is on the towers because I am on 3rd shift. Will have to check next time I am on first. But just around town.... No where near that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owensri2 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Just happened to check today, and found that my phone is now connected to eHRPD here in Columbia, SC! I recall seeing posts before about eHRPD just being a software update, but hopefully this means something for the SC market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDrizzle Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 In Raleigh, we have had eHRPD on and off for a few weeks. Currently we're at EVDO Rev. Anyone know what that's all about? Probably meaningless as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJColaSC Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Noticed they upgraded most of the towers adding carriers and T1/Fiber runs and have cut out a lot of further updates. Speed has increased most everywhere I've seen, from 150 to 300kbps, and 300 to 600kbps, etc. If the earlier report was right about fiber coming downtown I'm sure that was a big part of it. Latency to Spirit (downtown Columbia) is still horrible, even when 2 miles away. Much faster communicating with Greensboro, NC test server. Hope this gets nailed down as it seems to be a terrible routing setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
