Network Vision/LTE - Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands Market

The metro area build feels like its taking ages

My phone has been really random. The clock has been changing on its own like crazy with incorrect time( I know it receives the current date and time from the tower) and when I set the time zone manually it still shows the incorrect time. I also believe the battery on my GS3 is toast, the phone is randomly powering off with a significant amount of juice left. I think I'll be visiting a sprint store soon...

Spare batteries aren't very expensive online, I've had zero issues with automatic time in the metro area on my EVO 4G LTE. Saw some LTE today while eating at the strip mall next to Suchville but signal strength was weaker than at home (sub 1Mb speeds).

Some funny thing happened to me I had 2 evo lte that are not getting lte in areas were another evo lte next to me does.....they do have different prls but not even loading the other 2 the same prl with qpst has worked any ideas?

I was looking to the upgrade map of the metro area and it looks like there a big dead spot in one of the most densely populated zones, unless is part of the rural to urban deployment plan.

Is anyone having dropped call issues this week at isla verde? Unusable service, dropped calls, missed calls people telling me that they can't get thru, late messaging... Is it the service or the phone (gs3) already resetted device to factory settings.

 

Anyone???

 

sprint is working on the antennas on carolina

it takes too long, they have varoius reasons:

1. they have more sites in metro than the rest of the island

2. in metro they have more calls, text and data trafic than the rest of the island

3. in metro we have more buildings, so more dificult to test and to oficcialise the updates

and many mores.

 

in Carolina, we have LTE (not officialy), and EHRPD, but i take the trujillo antenna, just appear the EHRPD and the data speed is awful...

Hi, I live in Guaynabo (no LTE, yet), but on Friday, February 15 2013, I went to Plaza Carolina, near Sears store, and I was surprised as my SGS3 was on 4G. Made a speedtest and got 9 MB downloading and 10 MB uploading, just to let you know. Hope to see some improvement near San Juan and Guaynabo soon.

They have been doing some work for sure on St. Croix. There was a partial outage last week and sprint customer service told me it was noted that upgrades were in progress. After the outage we are experiancing a much stronger signal! I have service in places I didnt before. Just waiting for that 4G symbol to lite up now and I'll be happy! I can finally shut those AT&T people up! :-)

Near San Patricio, which actually is in San Juan. Near WAPA TV.

[Impulse]

Yeah there's no LTE whatsoever yet around there, closer to Bayamon it's popping up tho.

I've visited all the site in St.Croix but only the one in welcome seems to be performin better than before.I did a speed test and got as much as 18 mbps . Every where else was just what we had before

You got 18mbps during the day or at night.

..after 1in the AM my 3g stays at 1 - 1.8 mbps.

Thanks for the update. These sites are still In Progress and not accepted yet. So they probably will not perform better yet.

18mbps? So you got LTE?

That's my bad....I wanted to say1.8 mbps. I got that both day and night at the south east tower

LOL, You almost made me choke on my drink what you said 18mbps. I told myself that has got to be a typo, hell I even stared at it for a while looking the decimal between the 1 and the 8. So how are your speeds during the daytime and if you visit a site again, is there anyway you can take a pic and post it?
