They sure are working there way inward instead of outward. Not a bad sign since it means that less densely populated areas are not less of a priority.

 

probably also because there are less sites in those areas than for example in Mayagüez, Ponce, San Juan, Bayamón or Guaynabo so they can get done with them much faster and easier

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'

We have not reported Aguadilla as completed yet. We have a NV sites complete map in our Sponsor section that gets updated weekly. That is the best place to track completed sites.

Does Sprint have towers in Old San Juan? Since yesterday I have notice a slight improvement in data. For the past few months it was bearly useable jumping from 3G (.15mb) to 1X or no voice/data at all.

 

Also last night I did a Speed Test in my apartment in Bayamon and got .80 mb on every test I did last night. The normal speeds where around .10 mb or .25mb so thats a slight improvement also.

where do you live

 

I live at "Sultana" but behind my house there is a gigantic mountain and it creates a kind of a blackhole for all cellphone carriers.... Hence I own the "airave" unit free of cost!!!

      https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.

      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.
