Back in march the St. John tower was accepted along with 7 st. thomas towers.  Not to long after that the final 8th tower was accepted on st. thomas.  The sprint website has been showing 8 on st. thomas and 1 on st. john since then.

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'

Oh ok, as far as reps, they don't know whats going on what so ever.  About 2 weeks ago I called to get a credit on my bill and the rep wouldn't give it to me being that based on their system the VI market hasn't had one single outage for the entire year so she thought I was just trying to get a freebie.  Needless to say the rest of that conversation didn't go to well and I almost bolted to ATT, but I managed to resist that urge.  Anyway, I am back in atlanta so I am smothered and covered in lte with no complaints until I get back to st.thomas.  In all honesty though, service in my opinion has improved quite a bit over the last few weeks in St. thomas so hopefully we see lte soon.

Forsyth, it's close to MaconOh

Oh ok, cool. I am in Jonesboro which is about 5 minutes south of the airport.  Forsyth is about 30 minutes south of where I am.  Not sure of the lte status in that area though, the last time I was in that area several months ago, I had lte right up until I got to forsyth then it dropped to 3g.  Macon does have a few sites live though for what its worth.

I really wonder what could be the holdup there... The 3G part was completed like November or December last year, so the facilities for getting the backhaul there should already be available

At least you could drive couple minutes and get it, the VI and the other hand gotta jump on a plane.

That may be true but when you are in the same place for 9hours without 4g kinda sucks. Everyother place is completely covered except there.

Not every place is completely covered. They got 80% in the metro area and stopped. There are some big pockets in their lte coverage that are surprising.

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      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.
