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...

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      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.
