Come on Sprint! You know you want to be the #1 provider in the country! Lets do it

Will the iPhone 5 work on the clear-wire spectrum?? I am just curious because I was reading up and it says that the new spectrums are not supported with most of sprints phones.....which would piss me off at an astronomical level.

Get angry with Apple as much as you want.

[jamisonshaw125]

No

That has me wishing I hadn't had to get a new phone 3 months before my upgrade and only months away from the new iphone...Oh well..sigh.

 

Thanks njjdnt

Only phone that we "know" to have support for Clearwire frequencies is the LG G2 if I'm not mistaken. The next iPhone might, but that's pure speculation on my part. :huh:

Interesting.....Is there a benefit to the clear-wire frequency as opposed to their existing ones in terms of like range, or anything else.....? It obviously means more coverage, but if no phones can use it...errrrr

Bottom line is that at some point when 1900 is fully rolled out, it will start to get really crowded and slow down. 2600 will have a very large amount of capacity and will provide much faster LTE to those whose phones support it.

In layman's terms.. Fatter pipe but less coverage on the higher frequency. It will benefit everyone even with older phones as newer phones will use the additional capacity.

Good point, long term even those who don't have triband support will at least see 1900 ease up since 2600 will help offload a lot of traffic.

That answered my question. It's good that they are working on multiple solutions to one problem.

Does anyone have seen any site with 1X 800 around orlando?

I have yet to see one, and I don't think any have been accepted yet.

There's a crew smacking around a Nextel Tower in college park, tower almost looks naked except for a few panels that are left.

[supersanborn]

One of my sources reported getting LTE downtown, though he didn't have Signal Check installed when he rolled through (gasp!) or sensorly, so I won't know anything about strength or where it might have been coming from until tomorrow.

[jamisonshaw125]

 

 

This happened in my apartment. 1 bar and LTE. It popped right out of LTE and went into searching for about 5 seconds. Switched over to I guess, a different frequency and then I got the circle, and then 3G showed up. Lol first time I almost got usable LTE in my apartment ????

Well this is a disappointment..  So apparently the Daytona area launched? I looked on the map and there's a small purple cloud over my house(figures) but the parts showing LTE coverage in port orange are a total and complete lie..

Looks like they added a bunch more to south florida also. The orange now extends all the way across the state. (not that that map is accurate in any way)....And Daytona is infact lit up. They are literally surrounding Orlando with LTE....but not letting us have any.

 

 

Whyyyyyyyyyy...must be saving the best for last.

The cake is a lie!!

Exactly! I have stuck around because I was in a contract, but what I see now is that there really is greener pastures elsewhere. So it appears very much worth it now to just pay the early termination fee and move on. And if down the road Sprint actually becomes truly competitive, then I will gladly come back. Over the years I have been very happy with my Sprint service, but as time has progressed, data speeds have become pivotal to daily life and Sprint has just not moved as quickly as other carriers. Blame it on lack of money, city permits, company mergers, etc. The other companies found a way to get it done why hasn't Sprint? LTE rollout aside, the fact still remains that Sprint's 3G speeds are still appalling. I'm more disappointed in Sprint then I am mad. Their giving me reasons to look elsewhere after so many years together. 

 

 

Well my opinion has changed since July 12th when I posted the above quote. So needless to say I'm keeping my now 8 year relationship with Sprint intact. Mostly because my service over the past two weeks has improved drastically. Could my consist slow speeds have been caused by a faulty device? The reason I ask is because about a week in half ago I dropped my phone (iPhone5) to the point where I had to use my AppleCare protection to get a new one. Well since I've had this new iPhone, I'm getting LTE speeds way more often and my 3G speeds are averaging about a 1mbps. So I'm thinking my problem may have been my phone after all. Opinions?

Yesterday I saw a crew with a crane-like cherry picker working on the tower south of E. E. Williamson, east of Markham Woods Road, and just west of I-4 in Longwood. They were there again this afternoon but the boom was down and I assume they were on a lunch break. I stopped to get a shot of the racks -- no LTE equipment yet as far as I can tell.

Interesting....It could have been your phone, and it could have just been that there wasnt any NV upgrades done in your area yet. But I do know that since the Softbank deal closed their pace has improved dramatically. I am actually impressed and have been picking up LTE in all over in places that I have not before...I'm even almost" kinda" getting it in my apartment. It switches back and forth and waterford has LTE in some places now. 

 

Its coming along, but like I said, now that the whole deal is out of the way, they have some extra cash to play with, and I guess the people that were causing delays with backhaul or whatever else it might have been, are finally getting their butts in gear and Sprint is finally able to move at the pace they had intended. It shouldn't be too long now. They just launched 41 markets today, and they are big markets too...not tiny little pesky towns like ATT and Verizon do for extra bragging rights in what they call "market coverage" lol..

Looks like LTE is down at WP Towers, had it for two solid weeks and today I can't connect, phone is switching between EVDO and eHRPD. Resetting the connection doesn't do anything either.

Hate when that happens in winter garden...

There was some work going on at the tower on Lk Underhill and Alafaya. I couldnt see where the truck was from though. 

 

I was able to map a good dot where Rouse, Lk Underhill and the 408 come together.
