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'

Anyone know why there is fault with Voice CDMA signal in Arroyo, PR. 4G LTE signal is working but no voice. The signal bars do not appear in the cell and to switch to roaming. This was already launched and because of this there is no problem.

By the way without that site coverage in that area would be pretty horrible., As it is today.

Actually, it's pretty been pretty good coverage for me in that area for the past week. I work in the Monte Mall offices and have been running Sensorly to map the area since Monday.

Well, that tower upgrade worked magic. So how far along is NV in PR then? For the first time since when I had a Pre I can say that Sprint has great data service...

This is probably a dumb question. What app can I use on Android to see the location of towers around me ? Better yet if it shows me what tower I am connected to.

I use netmonitor. At best it will tell you what 1x tower you are connected to.. not 3g not lte.

Last I read, just 3 sites missing 3G upgrades (out of 242 I think), and 80-something waiting for their LTE upgrades

I wonder if those that have LTE actually have the backhall in place ?

3g can be accepted with or without upgraded backhaul. 4G will only be activated if they have upgraded backhaul. If a tower is 4g accepted then it has upgraded backhaul.

Shouldn't St.Croix have LTE by now, I mean we only have 5 towers.

 

The issue is more than likely backhaul related, but it shouldn't be that much longer though.

Anyone knows anything about the big gap around Avenida Park Gardens (Closee to Expreso Trujillo) without LTE?

 

Yea, I drive through there every day and it is a surprising gap. They hopefully fix it soon...

Tecnetico reports that sprint has a scheduled press conference in Puerto Rico on April 17. Hopefully all the remaining sites will be launched by then.

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
