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.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      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

      T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
