That's the New 4.0 for CDMA on the left.. Its been there for a month or 2. The new cabinet will be a 4x4x1 box on an H frame. I did see the tower crew on that site earlier this week. You can also see the new RRU's under the sprint antenna line.

Yup, that was the test crew testing and later replacing the 1900 and 800 radios.

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

Does anyone know of any work currently being done on the site CR03AW006 here in Anderson right off Shackleburg? I went by there and it seems to have new fiber running towards that direction, and I'm getting about 2Mbps down and .75Mbps up right there... I'm guessing backhaul is down... Just wondering about LTE... Thank you in advance for any info...

Charleston just lit up. Great progress this monthSent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

Any new towers, besides the 4 that we already know about from acceptance reports? I'm sure progress will move fast, this area needs it pretty badly!

It's been pretty quiet this past week, not really seeing any new activity in the upstate area. I was by the tower between Duncan and Greer again during the weekend and I still can't connect to any LTE until I hit Greer. I think the tower listed near Pine Street isn't actually active because I still don't get any coverage from it. Greer itself has been getting better though. I'm still just waiting for those 13 towers in the Spartanburg area near me to turn on. Heck I'd settle for just the one closest to my work for now haha.

There were three Upstate LTE sites accepted over the weekend.

Also is there a guess or timeline when we might get tri band LTE? I love my note 2 and zl battery but would love to have tried band, I'm planning on waiting a while but curious about the timeline if any. Again thanks

It'll be a while.

Ever since the first tower in Gaffney was 4G accepted the 4G here has been on and off. Sometimes it's working for 30 minutes and other times it'll only work for 5 minutes and then it goes back to 3G. Are they still making adjustments to optimize the coverage?

Well today I dropped all data for about 30 mins then had horrible 3g, was more than likely on the tower beside hamricks. Was to the point that it would time out loading any web page. Maybe its a sign that they are doing more work on the tower, I'm on evdo rev a as I'm typing this on my phone. I was on the ehrpd 13.

Well I've got LTE at my house in Inman now! Best I got was 15mbps download and 6.7mbps upload. Pretty happy right now :D

argh!! I live in Inman (but closer to Boiling Springs) as well but not seeing it. Are you in the actual city? Which tower you using?

Still on 3g in Berea, and I have noticed that on my notification bar(note 2) it will roll over and say preparing network and I will lose data and voice for a few minutes and when it returns nothings different. I was told by a sprint guy at cherrydale that the towers are not turned on 100% just yet.

      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.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. 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.
