Sprint LTE August 2012 Schedule Maps


Recommended Posts

Have any towers in the Austin metro area (not the Waco area of the Austin market) begun the upgrades? Originally we were listed as a possible launch in August and I saw it has now been updated to September but there are still no sites listed as even complete in the Austin metro area.

I don't think we have seen any evidence in Austin, aside from some eHRPD connections logged in the wild. No LTE yet.

 

And Austin was conspicuously absent from the "end of August" list announced in conjunction with Sprint's recent earnings call and report.

Is southeast Wisconsin in this roll out? I hate being so close to the border because it always looks like we will be included and we usually aren't.

 

Definitely no Southeast Wisconsin until the later part of the second round.

They really should have lit some towers in downtown Tampa for the RNC to show off the network.

 

Republicans are corporatists. 1) They do not use Sprint, they love the anti competitive duopolists, VZW and AT&T, and 2) they dislike Network Vision because they want to keep CAPEX low yet still squeeze more revenue out of existing subs.

The media there alone will clog the network, and I'm sure some of the delegates use Sprint

Cant wait for September and Indy has some live sites. These 3 protection sites around a city that has about a million people and over 2 million in the metro area just don't cut it. At least one of them is right next to where I work. Sooon as we start getting LTE I am buying a S3. I just can't do it yet because I utilize WiMax still on my S2

Hopefully it will start on time. I'm hearing buzz about Samsung mobilizations. I'm getting optimistic again.

Isn't samsung the only vendor that hasn't began in a second market yet? Chicago is still there only one correct? Also, I think Southern Indiana will be in the West Kentucky market and that is Ericsson. so close but yet so far....

True, the liberal media probably do like and use Sprint, especially as unlimited data is socialism.

This is true. But Samsung is starting to move toward Second Round markets now.

I highly doubt NYC will look like that come the end of August. I'm very disappointed in the progress there. It is going way too slow. Let's see what happens in August.

 

NYC is a large market dude.....buildings blocking signal needs to be set up correctly or signal will be blotchy and spotty if not set up correctly. The map that I have seen shows the coverage going up as far as Poughkeepsie near IBM's HQ. That's awesome.....patients is a virtue. I have received 1.9 mbs on 3g in some areas like Jamaica Queens, and the Bronx.

As long as Samsung fixes my tower before moving on first.... I've been roaming on 1x since Sunday :(

It's not quite like that. Samsung has local subcontractors doing most of the work. Samsung provides design, equipment and installation/schedule management. Samsung should be able to start in other markets with little or no impact to current markets being deployed.

Sorry... guess I should've been a little more clear on my post. As you already know, my tower's backhaul finally went live about a month ago. However, something went kaput Sunday night... and all my Sprint phones are now roaming. I was more or less teasing that they don't forget about that tower before hitting up second round market. I'm also aware of the whole sub-contractor thing. There was a thread about how cell companies manage this stuff, and watched that video about AT&T's massive network upgrade a few years back. Pretty insane stuff how these field techs get paid next to nothing for such a high risk job.

where exactly in the Bronx did you get 3G speeds of 1.9 Mbps? around Yankee Stadium, 3G downstream tops out around 0.2 Mbps with upstream between 0.02 and 0.10 on average.

Parkchester in front of Macy's, and the Throggsneck Bridge near the plaza mall fare pay!

You know if Sprint were smart they would do a "how it's made" or let some one do a ride along so we could see the work involved in upgrading to a LTE tower/System. It would be facinating.

 

Ericsson did one for internal use and it got out. Sprint didn't like that too much at all!

do you know if any of the live sites are near the Airport? and I didn't know there were so few protected sites for the Indy metro. hmmm.

    • What device is that on? 
    • Been in Japan for the past few days, and I'm about to leave today. Google Fi/Tmus roaming in Japan only had Softbank LTE, so it was pretty slow in busy areas, especially HND (albeit usable in most places). When I got to Osaka, I bought a KDDI native SIM from Aerobile, which is an esim reseller based in Taiwan. With this au/KDDI SIM, I could get NR, and that really improved the network experience here. Even though my phone is missing many ENDC combos here, having b1 + n77 or b3 + n77 or b41 + n78 really helps out with the congested LTE network here. As a bonus, 4cc n257 also works on my s24, and I've reached peaks of 2gbps with it. I'm heading to China today, so hopefully Google Fi supports 5G on whatever carrier they roam on in the mainland. If not, I'll probably be stuck on congested LTE like the first couple of days in Japan.
    • Mike, I just noticed on my S22 Ultra when connected to Verizon n261 SCP is reporting it as n257. I don't see mmwave very often and I didn't notice it at the time I was connected to it. Not sure if it matters but I'm on Visible. 
    • Here's my personal best, as well as the maximum speed I was able to get over 5gbps USB tethering. Millimeter wave is definitely a lot of fun, and I wish AT&T and T-Mobile would deploy a lot more of it.
