And since the hurricanes I know sprint has lost a significant amount of subscribers in the territory since they seem to be lagging behind big time compared to the other 2 carriers when it comes to network repairs.

I don't know but hopefully soon. Here in the VI, sprint customers are breaking down the doors to att trying to switch over to them because att has made quite the progress compared to sprint since "irmaria". So when sprint comes back up the network should be wide open compared to a few months ago so more bandwidth for me, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilotimz Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Mostly done. Triband (750, 1900,2500) sites will be getting deployed once the cleanup from the hurricane mess is completed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to give in and port one of my lines over to att so I can at least get half decent service. Sprint really lagging behind compared to att here on the island.

It makes sense to me going forward that Sprint's new sites would be LTE only, that way they could build a dense enough network for VoLTE down the line.

Unfortunately the hurricane clean up is still taking place and I have a feeling it's going to take a while longer. I've been following the progress on fcc.gov/maria unfortunately no break down of the carriers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirskyc Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 just notice the lastest coverage map had a lot less roaming for inland Puerto Rico and it also shows up as LTE Plus. On the voice only map it shows as sprint coverage but signal strength varies. only other place thats like that is the swiftel network. Im assuming the map is now showing open mobile service.

I thinking they applied the wrong shading. It appears to line up with the extended voice (roaming) area. I suspected it's now considered extended LTE, but they accidentally colored it as LTE Plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerardopr91 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Right now Sprint LTE speeds are slow. Mostly between .05 to 1 mb lets see if that gets better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprint doesn't have any 600MHz spectrum in PR/VI that I'm aware of unless it comes from Open Mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service is actually much better now since there was a mass exodus of sprint customers to at&t so the towers aren't quite as flooded as they use to be, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaldoc Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just came back from a weekend in PR. Sprint service actually very good in my parents "urbanizacion". Granted, they live very close to SJU airport and that area seems to be ok. Also very usable in Mall of San Juan. My biggest surprise was in Palmas del Mar in Humacao. Pre Maria service there was awful. Now it's very fast and full bars in the areas I hung out. Using LG G6. FWIW- my parents AT&T service in their home is horrible post Maria. Who knows... I did find many poor data speeds areas while driving around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
