53atenas Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks Robert. Well I currently live in front of the ocean in Manati. I have noticed a dramatic increase in signal strength in the past week or so. I can sometimes see full bars for up to an hour but then intermittently it drops to 1 or 2 bars or just grayed out altogether! In the past if I got 2 bars I considered that a good day!! Last night I ran a speed test late at night with full bars and got the following: Ping: 245ms / 1298kbps download / 460kbps upload (I had selected a server in Manati). Is the signal dropping to 1 or 2 bars indicative that work continues on the towers, and should that stabilize at some point or will I just have to live with it?

If the closer site is being worked on is having traffic issues, that can happen. But note that your signal indicator only shows you your voice signal strength, not data. It is possible that your phone changed towers for voice but stayed on the same site for 3G data. Your phone can connect to two different sites at once and as many as 3 when connected to LTE. All would have different signal strengths. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanPi Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) I took this on various areas in Ponce. As you can see, the results are quite nice but there were some spots where it just went downhill. The 3 mps were with 4g on.

So they can apply different PRL rules to each NID. It's not done too often though. Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egonadrian Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Wow still absolutely NOTHING in the metro area -_- They are deliberately doing every site in PR before they hit the metro area. Wouldnt it be smart for them to do the most heavily populated areas first and then the rural zones?

Wouldnt it be smart for them to do the most heavily populated areas first and then the rural zones? Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III It doesn't surprise me, as this has been the pattern in other markets. Chicago and Boston, for example. In PR, its close to 50% the sites that are in the metro area and 50% in the rest of the island. Almost all of the Western part (North and South) of the island except Mayaguez is complete. Once everything outside of the metro area is completed, all those crews can concentrate on it. It would not surprise me that the PR markets is fully completed ahead of schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miguelfp1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 by my count, and the data in this site, 105 of 252 (42%) sites in Puerto Rico have been upgraded/accepted by Sprint over the past two months, 58% of the sites left. that rate is not bad, almost half of all the sites in the island in two months! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary that was the others( att and openmobile)did. They started lte in san juan, ponce and mayaguez .Would be wise to change that pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
