They've only really just begun.

Sprint has issued a statement on updates in Puerto Rico, coming from regional president Mike Hennigan.

 

 

Today approximately 32 percent of the upgrade is complete and we expect to have 2.5GHz service fully lit up across the city by early summer. We’re excited to provide our customers in San Juan with a capacity-rich network that’s built to meet their wireless data demands both now and into the future.

Well, they are slowed by the brutal winters down there on the Emerald Isle. [emoji38]

Does anyone know if Sprint is coming back to the VI especially St. Croix to do upgrades anytime soon.

Just like with the original roll out I would assume that once they mostly complete the band 41 roll out in PR they will then start in the VI.

I drove to old San Juan. I couldn't really check well because I was driving and it was raining. I first noticed b41 on the highway near Plaza las Américas. I opened LTE discovery and then a speed test (while driving and getting angry looks from the wife)

We went to Old San Juan where it was very busy and 2 cruise ships were docked as well. I opened signal check pro. My G4 kept switching back and forth with b25. I did a speed test on both bands and you can notice the congestion. Maybe the B41 site was new and not fully optimized.

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
