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'

new backhaul got connected to the site at UPR-Bayamon, evidenced by the 2 Mbps download test I got today after 2 years with sub-300kbps speeds, Network ID also changed from 1 to 200.

 

LINK to the speedtest result

 

I hope your new connection last, because my 4g connection disappear. Never shows again since yesterday. This morning I test the new 3g with download speeds from 1 - 3 mb constantly. At 1 or 2 pm this speed gone. Now Im back again below 300 kb. hehehehe. Its crazy! They still working and testing I guess. Anyone now if this happen in other States?

Been a while since I posted on this forum. (finals, etc).

 

Firstly, on my epic 4g touch I experience like others full NV at the Mayaguez Mall/Krispy Kreme area.

 

Secondly, i scored a great deal in the local classifieds for a mint pebble blue GS3 with two oem samsung batteries. It belonged to a sprint employee(we made the deal at his store). He told me he was selling it because sprint gave its employees note 2's recently. The phone costed me $225.

went to the Plaza Del Sol area and got 5-6mbps of LTE at 2pm aprox.

I think Sprint signal is affected by the weather like DISH hahaha because today Im unable to do a simple speed test, always get an network error message in the speedtest app. ("Network communication issues" "try again")

Not sure if it's against the rules or not, but can someone confirm if theres only one LTE enabled tower in Ponce or if there are more? Because the only really strong LTE signal i get (19-25 mbps) is in the Morel Campos area.

Interesting question, let the experts answer you here but... If one tower get the fiber and the other ones close to it receive the signal from the main one (somebody here called microwave), is suppose to have the same speed in every tower? I think not, but, thats the question! haha. Depend of the traffic, the hour, the quality of the signal and the weather (that last one is a joke).

Now that ponce is lte ready as stated by sprint would those of you living there say you get it in most areas of the city? I was there yesterday but did not have my sprint phone with me at the time.

Hi Guys. I don't know if I share this with you before. Those speed test are taken in the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras Campus close to Piñero Ave. SCREEN SHOT

 

Sorry for the link. The system says that my global cuota is full.

 

In Toa Baja the 3g speed is a little better, but 4g stop to work last week. I hope in January start work again. Today in Manatí my 3g stop working. And the phone freeze when switch from 4g to 3g close to the 48 exit in the 22 highway.

 

Good night to everyone

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
