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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By RedSpark · Posted

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....

      Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites.

      I’m surprised they’re running a 5x5 Band 66 carrier still. In NYC T-Mobile has 25x25 AWS and they’re running 20x20 Band 66 and 5x5 n66 (in testing). Presumably when n66 commercially launches they’ll drop Band 66 down to 15x15 and go straight for a 10x10 n66 carrier like they did with n25.

      Austin has now narrowed B2 to 15x15 to support a second 10x10 n25 channel, this time entirely in PCS A-F. So T-Mobile now has 35x35 FD (n71 + n25) and 180 MHz TD (n41) NR live here, and LTE single carrier bandwidth now tops out at 15x15. LTE is down to 5x5 B12, 15x15 B2, 10x10+10x10+5x5 B66, so they now have 5 carriers each of LTE and NR, with 45x45 total LTE.
