It connected to 4G 4 different times during my trip back to work. That's good news for people in the metro area.

While i was at my apt it was switching between three different serving cells.

 

I think the site that I was connected to was the one near plaza guaynabo because my signal wasn't the best. I got another site less than half a mile.

It also mapped some in Expreso Las Americas near Ave Pinero (Centro Medico Area)

Upload it to any 3rd party site and post the link, or use the picture embed feature and enter the URL. And I just checked again and still only see 1 Voice Upgrade for St. Thomas.

Robert I hard reset my galaxy tab after taking the screen shot and can't seem to find it. It's so funny that now I really need it it can't be found.I am only seeing 1 voice upgrade now but when I took the shot it not only say 2 upgrade it also showed 2 towers on the map. Maybe was a glitch but I was trying to post it then. Gone now but was it there.

I map it from home to work with sensorly, is not showing yet, but all Sabana Grande is covered basically with that tower.

Check this morning and even the voice upgrade for St.Thomas was gone from the Sprint map.

They seem to be working on an update at the moment. Maybe something will pop up for the USVI when they are complete.

Robert quick question, once the PR market is 100% LTE complete does that mean we will always get an LTE signal no matter where we are located in PR?

[loverrez]

Thanks again Robert

Definitely not in all of PR, but you will have LTE everywhere you currently get 3G.

Last month I think I experienced some of the worst sprint service ever in St. thomas. I just got back to St. thomas a few days ago and I got to tell you that it is just as bad but all the issues are basically the same as what the PR guys where experiencing right before all the good news started popping up. Its somewhat difficult to get close enough to towers given their locations but I need to find away to get a closer look at those panels to see if any NV equipment have been installed. The great news is that the Virgin Islands are currently going through some major improvements as far as over all internet backhaul goes. As of a few months ago typical broadband was as fast as 1.5 to 3 megs(and that's on a very good day) for any isp provider on the island, as of the last few days I have been experiencing over 20 meg at my office so hopefully all this will be part of sprints strategy as far as backhaul for their lte service.

Good news guys. Your patience will be reward. Now I have LTE in home. I always get more than 3mb. This morning I make some test and gets 13mb, 9mb, 8mb, 7mb, 6mb, 5mb everything haha.

Very good test. I check and see two data upgrades of few antennas close to the area. One is close to Hato Tejas, if you go to Costco in Street Number 2 in Bayamón you will see LTE. And other is close to Toa Baja - Toa Alta border. Is excellent! Please guys, just wait, is a very good service and is UNLIMITED!!!!

 

My wife iPhone is force 3g sometimes, I always have 4g in home and she's not. Is rare!!! But she still believe that iPhone is the better piece of technology in human history haha. But Im super happy with the service.

 

Time ago I wrote that the 4g is appear and disappear for like a week. Be patience everyone these guys are testing and installing the equipment. Is awesome!! When you start to see problems and 4g up ad down give like three weeks and you will see. I talk for 3 to 4 hours in home and I never experience a drop call with the new antennas. But when Im travel from Toa Baja to Rio Piedras two days ago I got like SIX drops. They stilll working with that I guess but is very annoying!!

I live in Estancias de la Fuente, still no 4g there. Also I just passed by Costco, no 4g there either :S

Ive had 4G by the costco also. You should try:

-Updating PRL

-toggling airplane mode

-If all else fails choose LTE only

Do what egonadrian said, those instruction can fix your problem.

 

In "Drive in Plaza", "Bayamón Oeste", "Plaza del Sol", you will find LTE working very good. "Río Hondo" is not working at 100% yet. But in Costco, when I make the test like two days ago is working fine. If you enter to "Tres Calles" and near those area LTE is available there. "Urbanización San Pedro (Toa Baja)" have LTE everywhere, and maybe "Madelaine" and some of the "Montecasino".

 

For "Estancias de la Fuente" I think you need to wait a little more. But soon!!! Sprint are working fast. Tons of upgrade in Toa Baja and Bayamón in the last month.

 

Sprint have the best customer service in the industry, unlimited and affordable plans (Compare to TMobile, Claro and AT&T), discounts for government employes and for private employees like those who works in Burger King, Sears etc. Roaming in Puerto Rico and US for data and voice, long distance, best visual voice mail, good cell phones (BlackBerry 10, Windows Phone 8, Galaxy S4 and next iPhone confirmed for this year), the ability to paid for Internet tethering start at $20 for 2gb (tmobile does not have this option in their unlimited data plan). If Sprint expand their LTE coverage to entire Island and solve the drop calls issue, theres no other better company to buy a cell phone. This is a not paid announcement hahaha. They need to subscribe more costumer because Sprint is the 5th company in Puerto Rico behind the 1st AT&T, 2nd Claro, 3rd T-mobile, 4th Open Mobile, 5th Sprint. Why? Because the junk network they have here. They suppose to be in the first three positions but they don't have good marketing either. This is gonna change!!! Sorry for the speech to all I just doing some free marketing (joking) IS TRUE!!

[jetta]

I have problems with the signal in Juncos maybe they are working with the NV. No 3g and dropped calls! I few weeks ago I get 4g in my house 4-5 mbps!!!!

[osva]

Are you sure you don't work for sprint?

No osva hahaha . These guys need a little help!

 

jetta for sure they're working in the network. In my case I wait like two or three weeks to see the stable results in the area. If you see and use 4g time ago, and now you see anything two things can be happen 1st) they are working in the Network (for sure) or 2nd) Your cell phone need some care, hahaha (I go for the first one because the Galaxy S3 is good!!!)

 

In a new report. Yesterday the phone stock on 3g and Im sure I have 4g service in the area, so I solve the trouble turning on the airplane mode for few seconds and turn off and everything works fine again. Today I experience the same problem solve again with the airplane mode turn on turn off. Rare!!! right? and be aware of this!

At first I saw 1 voice upgrade then 1 data but now they are both gone. Hope a new update would look better than the last one.

The last time I checked I saw 1 voice upgrade but that was it, I really don't think it matters though.
