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'

Holy!! The world is coming to an end!!!  I have LTE here, close to Park Gardens (Estancias Chalets).  It had to be implemented Today, as I check every single day.  It's still not mapped on Sensorly, though.  I can't because im using Iphone 5.   Awesome!  finally with LTE.  Running with arounf 15Mbs of download and 7Mbs of Upload.

here in st thomas we patiently waiting...got some insight that shit is happening :D!!..they setting up our towers n stuff..dont wanna rush it but damn! the wait is  killin me!

Well for the most part the towers are ready its just that backhaul needs to get installed.  Not sure what exact issues they are running into though.  As far as your "hook up"  I pray to god you not talking about anyone working at the lockhart garden store.

I really don't know what the cause of these issues are but I am not surprised, nothing ever works right or goes over smoothly in the virgin islands and like I have said many times before, I knew puerto rico would go pretty quickly but the VI will have lots off issues.

Who should I kill first, the CEO of Sprint, the workers in the sprint store on st.Thomas, or the workers who work on the towers? >:|

Well I would blame the VI goverment, because after all these years its only now that they are investing in the islands infrastructure.  Nothing in the VI works as intended so I can't even be mad at sprint for this.  Every time I come to St. Thomas I have to deal with bad sprint service, then when I consider switching to at&t I am reminded by at&t customers that the grass is definitely not greener because they want to switch as well.  All I can say is thank god I don't live there but its tough since I am there for  business all the time.

Well for the most part that particular crew working there are clueless but that's expected.  I mean they are there to collect a paycheck and to do what they are trained to do and that's it.  You won't find too many wireless enthusiasts or tech heads working at any carriers store location.  The manager and assistant manager aren't too bad though but the rest of the staff is worthless.  I don't mean to come across so negative towards them but I have had way too many bad experiences dealing with those people and if I have no choice but to go to a store I try my best to wait until I get back to atlanta before doing so.

      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.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
