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'

My data has been steady, no drops. Only this morning has it been doing this.. odd. I tried reverting to an older radio to see if that helps but no. Man I wish I knew someone that was doing the work for a clear answer.

This is ridiculous... Data dropping literally every 10 seconds.. just cycling. On off on off.. can't do anything productive like this. Am I eligible for some downtime credit with Sprint if I complain?

I am sure you are, call them up and see.  

 

But yeah, it's quite annoying.

anybody ever tried tmobile on the rock?

I used to have an additional line with tmobile a few years ago and it worked fine when it did but overall coverage was horrible.  Tmobile's website now shows that the entire island is covered through a roaming agreement(I would assume with Innovative) but I don't know how accurate that is.  A friend of mines just got here a couple of days ago who uses tmobile and said service was fine until he got to his moms house in smithbay where he had no signal most of the time.

It's insane how much difficulty they appear to be having getting things up and running properly in the USVI.

Like I said way back in the very beginning of this thread, the VI portion of the upgrade will lag behind.  I am not really upset because this is exactly what I expected.

True, your words were quite prophetic unfortunately. It's just hard to believe that getting the remaining dozen or so sites online with LTE is becoming such an debacle.

The last few sites are always the hardest to do, that's why they are the last.

      Its crazy what MM wave is capable of in ideal conditions. I took advantage of some overnight work this week to do some testing on my way home.  https://imgur.com/a/zPNUWVs

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
