Network Vision/LTE - South Carolina Market (Columbia/Greenville/Spartanburg)

My family and I are getting incredibly upset with Sprint, we're getting horrible service with full bars, I've had 8 dropped calls this week and I'm hardly on the phone at all, my brother has had about 20, he's on the phone a lot, my sister in law has had 4 and my buddy has had 13. Data speeds are getting slower here in Spartanburg as I'm back to getting .02mbps at work and I did a speedtest with full bars and got .37mbps. We've called Sprint a bunch in the past week and all we keep hearing is the same thing we've heard before. Now hearing that they're moving the completion date to of NV to mid 2014 isn't helping either. We've been debating switching to T-Mobile as they're network out here has gotten pretty impressive, I want to stay with Sprint as they're going to get much better here but I can't deny I'm getting incredibly impatient as every other carrier has LTE out here except Sprint. My buddy, who is the head of the account has stated we'll be switching if they don't get their LTE out here by the time the next iPhone is announced, which appears to be September 10. I'm hoping Sprint ups its rollout speed out here in the next few weeks

Anyone else start roaming in the last couple days? I don't think I've seen a connection that wasn't roaming since Sunday which it's pretty rare that I roam at all. The girlfriend's phone is roaming also.

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.

This is crazy. I literally cannot even stay connected long enough to check my voicemail (because the app likes to hold them for 2 weeks at a time) and still constant roaming.

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
