I have one question using this link

 

https://network.sprint.com/search/00725

 

Here you can see all the upgrades in the last six months. Some antennas has #1 (1 data speed upgrade), other has #2 (2 data speed upgrades or 1 voice upgrade and 1 data speed upgrade) and other #3 (1 voice upgrade and 2 data speed upgrades). When it says 2 data speeds upgrade it has Lte working in that tower?

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'

Those towers have LTE working, but I would think that's not an accurate way to think of LTE towers, because there's others LTE towers in that map that only show 1 data speed upgrade. Its way more precisely to donate what you can to S4GRU and access the map in the sponsor area that will show you exactly where are the LTE towers around the island.

I went to the Ponce Towne Center Sprint store today to get a new phone for my mom and was told by the manager that all LTE towers in Ponce would be turned on next week.

The site may have been added last to just cover a coverage hole in that area. They do not make cells as large as possible. The denser the customer usage, the smaller the cell needed. Taller is not always better.

Verizon invested millions on Opens LTE network, so that they could provide their customers with data roaming in Puerto Rico. Why do you think Open suddenly started requiring two year contracts, using Verizon's same equipment and double data promotions.

is that info true? anybody can verify if verizon will take control of openmobile or its just a rumor........

Man, if I was the owner of that building I would grab a ladder put my phone exactly in front of the panel and run some speedtests. Lol :P

I think they haven't turn on that site yet for lte.

 

My parents lives near that site and I can connect to ehrpd, but speeds are horrible.. Yesterday I ran a speed test and I got 400kbps.

 

No LTE. That site appears as 3g/4g ready.

It is a new prl from today.

xxx10 lte device

xxx92 not lte device

 

Should I wait for the device to update by itself or do a manual update? Last time I ran #873283## on my iPhone 4s it stopped connecting to the network altogether. Had to restore the device via iTunes. Currently I have PRL 51090.

There are a few sites in hato rey area mounted on top of two story buildings like that..

This is a Sprint site on top of a two-story building. I presume it's fitted with NV equipment, but still hasn't been rated NV complete.

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      In China now and roaming on China Mobile with Google Fi/TMUS. 5G is enabled on roaming, however most areas in China have NSA disabled on the network. so SA is the only way to get 5G. This is only possible using a native SIM from the Chinese carriers. Also, LTE CA is disabled on basically every site, except for a few I've come across while on the bullet train.   I'm lucky enough to be in a small town where NSA is still enabled on China mobile, so I'm able to have a decent experience while roaming. Haven't speedtested much but it seems to top out at 300mbps over roaming on b3 + n41 100mhz. The networks here are dense AF and every site seems to have midband 5G deployed. Also, interesting to see that most sites have antennas branded by the carrier, or painted a certain color (which I haven't figured out what that means yet).

      My S21FE, which is my primary phone, has burned in quite a bit from SCP.  Not sure I could get a good picture of it, so I won't try.  Helpfully, since SCP allows full customization of app colors, I'm going to see if I can't undo it a bit by flipping the colors. https://imgur.com/a/QQr5Ncv We'll see how long my eyes tolerate the change... - Trip
