osva Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 then I'm impressed with its TX power lol Well I don't know.. I get -99 if I put my phone by the window. But I dont know where is coming from. Probably the tower behind plaza guaynabo. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelfp1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I really don't know either, but considering that I took the readings near UPR-Bayamon, the tower near Plaza Guaynabo is a bit far from here... kinda skeptical that that's the site serving me LTE nonetheless, I'm just happy to see LTE being lit up closer to home, and I still think that the PR/VI market could/should be 100% complete before April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gab2012 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 something must be happening with that site, it's been a while... I know, also the Palmas site hasn't been up yet. I'm pretty confident it can reach plaza rio hondo since I get -105 LTE from the Drive in plaza site when I'm near a window.(the drive in plaza site is way further than Palmas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gab2012 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 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. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD Thats great news! At least work will be focused on the metro area of the island. I also see that 3g is complete on Vieques and Culebra. (according to network.sprint.com 1 data upgrade in only site of Culebra and 2 data upgrades for the two sites in Vieques) All we need is the VI and metro area now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorkaIQ Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 in carolina/trujillo alto (saint just) appear that they're upgrading the antenna, appear in the weekend the 4g but the speedtest was awful, and then just 3g in ehrpd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will as well. We are one of the smallest markets for sprint which means less equipment and install times compared to other markets. I'm really amazed on how far sprint has come since this thread was started. Time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leozno1 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nice! My folks have an apartment at Peñamar Ocean Club in front of Villa Marina, I like coming every once in a wgile to visit palomino and palominito. You will now have some good 3g from sprint there Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 So I guess my questions for all the Boricuas in the thread is if you guys have noticed an overall improvement around the island? Clearer calls, less dropped calls, faster and more consistent/reliable data speeds, improved cell signal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gab2012 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thats awesome news. What is the difference you are noticing in low signal strength areas? For example in areas where you used to have a weak signal and indoors? Signal building penetration hasn't improved that much for me to notice yet. The main things are that calls are not dropping as you drive. I easily held a call for 40minutes the other day while driving through areas where I used to get them dropped. Also data has been great since I stream pandora and spotify while driving and notice less buffering and stuterring.

S4GRU Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thats awesome news. What is the difference you are noticing in low signal strength areas? For example in areas where you used to have a weak signal and indoors? The 20% signal increase that can come with NV 1900 upgrades will not be enough to improve indoor coverage much. It will increase its outdoor range where downtilt permits, bit its main advantage is to allow better overlapping of cells. Which result in less roaming while on the go and smoother transfer of calls to other sites. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
