I have a strong feeling nothing big is going to happen until november. I have called sprint plenty of times cause my internet speeds are going in an out ab i got so many different answers like. "Oo there is lte in boca sir there a week signal in parkland florida, deerfeild florida an miami florida. An they say my issue would be fixed in 48 hours cause they were doing a tower upgrade. An 3 days later it was not fixed so i called again an i said to the women i been having the problem for 3 days an i was told its cause of lte upgrades she then tells me that there is no lte upgrades being done in my area lol. Its just funny i got other dumb answers too but i dont think those sprint people know what theyy talken about. But thank you robert for all the info so far man big props

eHRPD in and of itself will not produce faster speeds. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1819-what-is-ehrpd/page__view__findpost__p__52976

Maybe his phone is picking up an LTE signal just not displaying it?? Where exactly are you when you're conducting these speed test? I have to visit my sister later this week down by UM and I may be able to past by the area to test for myself..

[Jaggrey]

Definitely no LTE around the UM area. But I have an Evo so from what I've been reading on this site it would have to be over me before my phone picks it up :-P

I'm by Kendall breeze area off turnpike exit of SW 120th st. Shopping center that has Starbucks/Bonefish Grill/Sprint Store/Robeks Juice/Walgreens. Today I'm no longer getting these high speeds. I'm back to the slow data speeds...back to reality for now. What gives?

Oh wow... Side note. If the iPhone is using 55xxx series it is missing one huge thing in that PRL. 800SMR channel scans.

Lately this is my average speeds. Mind you before I picked up those crazy speeds over the weekend my average was half of this. I wonder if the network is getting better and the launch is near...

Ok so im a student at UMiami and I can confirm theres no LTE signal on campus (and I have a S3). However there is eHRPD and a strong signal on campus (-77 dBm).

 

Following screenshots were just taken while on campus:

 

 

Also, I live in Pinecrest and can also confirm theres no LTE signal around my house.

I found a tower near me which has had work done on it and I think is getting LTE now? If someone could let me know by finding any relevant info that they can. Thanks.

 

Location via Google Maps: https://maps.google....F8&z=20&iwloc=A

Address: 4431 SW 52nd Ct Tamarac, FL 33319 226 ft NE

 

 

I have actual shots I took with my camera and shots from Google Street View.

 

In the new pics you can see a new level on the top and I'm not sure what it is for? They were working on that level the day I took the shot and although you can't see the guy up there, he is there in the shots working on top. Also there is a tower next to this tower which has some panels on it but I'm not sure what for? This tower (or if not this tower one near it as right next to it I get full strength, max signal) gives off 1X, EVDO and the new eHRPD. The last two shots are older pics from the Google Street View car/van and don't have the added top portion of the tower.

 

 

 

Thanks again,

I just got much faster speeds on UM's campus than I was just a couple of days ago. No more eHRPD tho for some reason.

Where are you on UM's campus? Im currently on Ungar Building and have eHRPD.

[Jaggrey]

I was in the Ashe bldg and now I'm over in Hecht.

 

I just flipped airplane mode on and off and now I'm on eHRPD.

It's hard to tell from the pictures with certainty, but I do not see Network Vision panels on that tower. Also, I have found this site in the schedule, and if it has been converted now, it is indeed early.

Its only 10 days into october so work has just begun right? My guess by december lte will be available in select areas of the miami market

Unfortunately no LTE broadcasting there yet. I checked earlier tonight. In fact I lost my eHRPD:13 status and went straight to CDMA only. If you continue on 44th until it turns into Inverrary Blvd. there is a tower that across the street from Walgreens that has all the NV Panels installed (without LTE broadcasting as well). I'll snap a picture tomorrow.

Wow, thanks Robert for the quick reply. In my picture which row are the Sprint panels and row 1 being the row near the bottom (closest to the base)? That way I could keep an eye out for the upgrades. Also what were they installing on the very top and/or what would normally go there?

 

Thanks again bro!

I thought they would be launching the network in October but I'm guessing they are way behind. As Roberts article on South Florida said October would be 40% launch and November would be 50%.

Lol, that is a trip! Where is the tower near the Walgreens? A picture would be great! You should know that area has the worst Sprint 3G speeds of most Sprint locations. I think because of the low income neighborhoods and the fact that Sprint has not only an overloaded Sprint network but then it adds on the cheaper Boost mobile and Virgin Mobile to that same strained network. Most people near me either have MetroPCS or Boost. What is weird is that many of the people on this forum always say using a special PRL they can roam on Verizon but I did it and I could only roam on MetroPCS (even normally when I can't get a signal my phone roams on Metro?)! They are worse than Sprint, if there is such as thing, lol!

Nice find bro. Since this is a Google Maps Street View image from May 2011, do you happen to have a recent pic to compare? I really want to know what LTE panels for Network Vision look like vs the old ones.

[S4GRU]

I just had someone post on the S4GRU Facebook page that they got LTE in Boynton Beach:
