Each tower has a site id but net monitor won't give you that id, but if you become a s4gru sponsor you will have access to every site id on sprint's network.  What netmonitor will how is the location of the tower(displayed on a map, which in itself isn't always accurate) you are connected to but it will only show 1x connectivity(someone can correct me if I am wrong).  The problem is that you can be connected to one tower for 1x and another tower for lte at the exact same time, the app will only show you which tower you are connected to over 1x.  Now being that there are only 9 towers(including the 1 on st. john), may make things a little easier to figure out.

no they literally have name..ill have to look thru some old sprint chats...the tower close to round the field is "Ross" my bovoni tower has some weird name..lolol..i never asked about the rest

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'

where did u get that!!

Download the sensorly app and it will how the location of that speedtest, I was in the parking lot of vitraco park at the time.  I did a few others but that one was the best one, the app will show you all the speedtests I did as well as the locations and locations and results of who ever else may have ran a speedtest using that app.

Ok... Story time.

 

Can't update my prl. Error 1012... Call sprint

They set some crap up and say to turn my phone off for a minute and restart..

By this time I had walked to around lake's chicken. Phone came back on... There it was. In all its glory, THE 4G LTE ICON on my status bar. First motion was to download the speedtest app. By the time I got to the play store it went back to 3G and I still can't update prl and now it says to activate my device... BUT!

 

I SAW THE 4G ICON AFTER 3 YEARS WITH SPRINT AND LTE PHONES...!!!

 

I probably shouldn't have run into the street dancing and making noises a man my age shouldn't, but I did!

 

Edit: haven't seen it since... (Angry face)

1.5 years with LTE phones..... they've only been available since last summer.

I think what he is saying is that after all these years with sprint he finally is able to see a 4g icon.

Looking at what sites have been accepted, I don't think the site closest to frenchtown is tranemitting lte even though it has been accepted.

I went to frenchtown last night and had LTE all the way from mafolie until I turned at the post office. When I was leaving, I restarted my phone and had LTE right near the ball field, but speed wasn't great. Seems like my phone isn't picking up the signal easily anywhere, though. Lots of restarting.

If the tower closest to frenchtown was active you should have gotten really good lte signals.  I just came from texas pit on waterfront 30 minutes ago and didn't have any lte signal on either phone I was carrying.

Weird. I was restarting tests as I drove along waterfront and got as fast as 18/8, but it just disappeared as soon as I turned off the main road. Like I said, though, was having to restart my phone all day yesterday to get back on LTE whenever I lost it. Today, it found it on its own

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      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....
