On LTE barely get 257kb download with 5meg upload. If I switch to 3g, thats another story, almost 2megs down and up. Something is broken in the island.

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 called sprint today to report the slow LTE speeds in PR, they said that don't have any outage reports for PR. Some one else called sprint about this issue??

I usually find calling to be a waste of time. The kinds of problems we are seeing should be detected by their diagnostic software long before we report anything.

Indeed, they should detect the problems on their end. However, if one has the time available, does calling (and escalating past the Tier I support) really hurt anything?

No it does not hurt but I have never seen it make any difference the times I have called.

Here's a good question, why is there more LTE coverage in Puerto Rico than 3G coverage. I'm pretty sure there aren't any 4G only towers, like Verizon has in Alaska but, it is still confusing.

Not confusing. We've discussed the issue a lot. Sprint LTE coverage maps are very inaccurate and overstating coverage. Whereas the 3G EVDO coverage maps are more realistic. We have been complaining about Sprint LTE coverage maps since they first started showing them in July 2012. They've never corrected the problem.

Sprint should use T-Mobile styled maps. They have the best maps of any carrier to me,

They also grossly overstate their 3G/4G coverage. I only get HSPA+ coverage in their two darkest green colors. The lighter two green shades are no service on my Nexus 4.

Hi everybody. Long time without writing. I'm very happy with my service. I also note that the new Sprint plans do not allow any Internet Sharing. In Puerto Rico, Open Mobile, Claro, AT&T, Tmobile now offer some kind of Internet Sharing in their plans without charges. 500mb at least. What happen with the vision? They stock on network, but not vision, haha. What do you think guys? We need to complain about this. Is we want to save our yellow Japanese company they need to be more aggressive and we need to promote better their service with our relatives. Remember I do not work for Sprint or Masayoshi Son haha

At this point I am not even sure what the issue is but at least it would seem that voice and data services are a lot  more stable now than every before.

What is the real reason why it's taking so long to get 4G here in st.croix. Do anyone know. I think I'll feel better if I knew.

The real reason? What fake reasons have you been given here?

      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.
