Gab2012 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think its a possibility for Verizon to come back. Open mobiles technology would play well with theirs & All major US carriers are here. VZW left the island in order to dump "La Telefonica"(The Puerto Rico Telephone Company which is worthless to many) to Claro/America Movil in 2007. Heres a brief history on how the VZW/Claro deal went down. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claro_Puerto_Rico Regarding a bit of NV and the rollout, I can confirm the last site in Fajardo(the one nearest to Ceiba) is broadcasting LTE. Fajardo is now 100% LTE complete according to network.sprint.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert7 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 how is the plaza las americas litle problem ; do they plan to fix this low signal issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure all the wireless companies are at an impasse with the owners of Plaza, there's nothing they can do to fix it until one side blinks or they reach a compromise... It's been this way for a while. People should honestly start complaining and hoping the Fonalledas take notice, it's kinda ridiculous (not to mention unsafe).

vamp07 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Rumor has it that VZW bought open mobile. They're planning on coming back to PR I guess. Based on some things I heard during the lte implementation inside open mobile, that would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austrie Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 No news on the VI? I thought LTE was supposed to be here by around Feb 2013, or do that only account for NV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 No news on the VI? I thought LTE was supposed to be here by around Feb 2013, or do that only account for NV? They have upgraded all the equipment at USVI sites. Just waiting on backhaul to fire 'em up.

megabytepr Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Does anybody know if this network crews work on Sundays here in Puerto Rico?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gab2012 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Does anybody know if this network crews work on Sundays here in Puerto Rico?? Highly doubt it. But it could be possible under certain circumstances. The network.sprint.com page gets updated on business days only. Since Semana Santa starts tomorrow The crews would be working until Thursday IF they do work at all during the week. Depends on Ericsson's calendar.

Paynefanbro Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Wait, I thought it only goes up to 37.5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megabytepr Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I ask because a girlfriend that lives in Rio grande just told me she has been roaming since yesterday and she usually gets 3bars inside her house. But since yesterday she has been on roaming if she turns off roaming the phone says no service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Wait, I thought it only goes up to 37.5! The speed tests aren't perfect, that's just a testing anomaly. Happens a lot more with upload too. If you run it a few times you get something more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. All I know is they are waiting on backhaul. I do not know more details than that. Sorry. If I hear something, I'll pass it on.

Gab2012 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I feel bad for the crews working in PR these days. These past few days have been the hottest yet. It feels like you're going to melt when you go outside. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelfp1 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 90 degree heat here, snowstorms in the US... all-around, not very nice working conditions for those crews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osva Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Apparently they are working near Ave. Pinero because my signal is jumping from NID 1 to NID 200. There's a site on top of what was El Amal. I might go there and see if there are people on top of that building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverthornne Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So what is more or less the range of an LTE tower vs a 3G CDMA one? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gab2012 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Reporting sprint's first LTE outage in Fajardo's Isleta marina site. No LTE and very slow 3G. This site was officially completed 2 weeks ago. A lot of people in the area for Easter so that may explain the slow down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustavo_pr Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 2 sites to go for 3G Complete 100% built-out in PR/VI!!! Old San Juan's site and the one on top of El Amal's in Ave. Piñero. They'll probably have those running by next week. Then the countdown its on for LTE goodness sweeping the PR/VI market!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Network.sprint.com does not shows the two old San Juan sites as completed. And the 3G speeds for those are horrible since I work at OSJ although I have been getting very random LTE sightings but they don't last more than two minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
