They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

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.

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

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).

I hate plaza. This family will never feel it made enough money.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Robert, do you know if the back haul for St.Croix vi is available and just need to be hooked up or is sprint waiting for it to becomr available. 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.

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.

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.

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!!

Where do you see that there is only one site for Old San Juan left? 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

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
