Signal bars do not show quality of signal. You only need 9kbps for a good voice call. That can even be achieved at the threshold between zero and one bar if stationary in many instances.

 

My point is if you have Claro or ATT on low frequency and nearby, and the signal of Sprint on 800 far away, it may not provide much help. We cannot make blanket statements that 800 will definitely help your specific conditions. It may, it may not.

 

It will depend on how and where 800 is deployed in your area and the specifics about your specific structure.

 

And I'm also making the point high or low signal bars don't mean much in and of itself.

Last question for you! How the %^$*@ you do to answer so many questions in the forum and to appear in almost every forum here? You're a TITAN! hahahaha. Thanks for your time and for your effort to keep in touch with all info we need about Sprint and cell phone wireless technical data all over the country!!! We appreciate s4gru support and the care we need in Puerto Rico! and of course, for our friends in Virgin Island!

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'

this morning there were a couple of trucks at the UPR-Bayamon site, LTE was lit up in a limited capacity when I came back home, but I don't know if it's from that specific site or another nearby one.

Do you know what serving cell you connect to?

I noticed that I get a signal at home from a site in bayamon.

not really, but if I could get some instructions, I'd be happy to find out and share the info

Dial ##33284# enter 777468 code. Then go to LTE engineering from there you can see your serving CELL

Wow sprint was kind of fast upgrading the eastern side of the island. I remember checking a week ago on network.sprint.com and there wasn't anything announced for Fajardo and Luquillo. Today or yesterday they listed all of Fajardo and Luquillo with NV 3g complete. ....yet the rio hondo site in bayamon is quiet :(

Not really. Samsung has brought 3G up in clusters all over the island since the beginning. This is the last 3G cluster outside the metro area. Now the whole island has at least 3G upgrades outside San Juan. And about 1/3 of San Juan metro has been 3G completed.
