Correct me if im wrong but I think At&t already had the backhaul in place because they used HSPA+. I know it is extremely frustrating guys but you will get LTE soon, because it is a fact they are working on it and even the press knows. They probably dont want bad publicity so they will get it done as fast as possible. Many states and major cities still havent started NV. Just hold on guys you wont regret it. attachicon.gifuploadfromtaptalk1372453649887.jpgTower on top of the First Bank in Guaynabo near Tintillo.Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I have ran numerous speedtests using different devices on att's hspa+ and I have never been to get no more than 1.5 to 2 meg down even under the most optimal conditions.

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'

I live in Bayamon and i live near a tower( antennas are on top of a building) but tonight seems the network is congested. Usually in my home i get 10-18mb but tonight i am getting 1-3mb...weird I took some pics of the site i am getting my 4g lte

I'm experiencing the same prob. My speeds average from 6 to 10 Mbps but I can't get pass 2 Mbps since yesterday.

seems there's some network problems, since yesterday afternoon I've noticed the ping is sky high on my GS3 (over 500ms) in LTE areas here in Bayamon, with much slower speeds than normal.

I have the same problem here in Juncos! I getting less than 1mbps download, usually I got more than 8-17 mbps of download. I called customer service and he tell me is a problem with engineering.

Well, my signal have been going from 0 to 2 bars a lot(though I can still use data most of the time), but my service is fine at the moment. My speeds are kinda slow at the moment though

Service was pretty solid over the weekend, no dropped calls while averaging a little over 1 meg down.

I must add that today I've been averaging about 2 megs down so far(havensight area), this just doesn't happen in this area during the day.

Has anybody tried Sensorly? (http://goo.gl/wuDNM) It maps signal coverage and strength by crowd sourcing. Looks like no one in St. Thomas has been using it because there's not data.

St. Thomas is just too small to waste any time with sensorly.  Whenever 4g lights up, if I am on the island I will run it for the hell of it but with only 8 towers and minimal land mass to begin with there isn't much to map.

So make the switch already and stop spreading so much negativity, it accomplishes nothing.

 

I switched to Sprint from AT&T about three years ago now. I was extremely unhappy with their non existent Android smartphone selection (at the time, they had like one low end Moto model and the Nexus One off Google's store) and I didn't like the direction their data plans and policies were going (throttling, threatening customers over suspicious of tethering, etc); I had also experienced several extremely awful cases of bad CS (reps messing up my account/plan for no reason, etc.).

 

I've been pretty happy with Sprint, but if they were to raise their prices significantly and/or cap my data use then I'd probably consider switching again (AT&T, Tmo, who knows). Heck I was ready to do it if I didn't see any LTE progresses thru the first half of this year, thankfully they came thru. There's nothing wrong with switching carriers if you aren't getting what you want or need, if more people did it the market would probably be more competitive.

 

Sitting there and complaining without adding any pertinent info to the discussion just annoys others though, just like your cute little slang or w/e.

 

Guess that nah gonna happen eh, trollin be easy...

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
