Network Vision/LTE - Cincinnati Market

[ohioratrodder]

I searched the forum and could not find any answers or information. Was wondering if anyone knows when cincinnati may get working 4g lte? I was told by sprint sales person that the towers are up and should be full working within 2 months, but i believe thats just a lie to try and get me to sign a 2yr contract.

Thanks

Sales reps lie like it's their job, because it is.

I never asked any of the reps in toledo about anything... should see what crazy non sence things they would say to me lol even tho i have all the info i need here

[keelerman8042]

but i think rob can tell ya it wont start til somtime in 2013 and the reps were prob lying to you even tho they prob arent as informed as we are with the info here

[S4GRU]

Codie is right. Deployment will not begin in the Cincy market until sometime in 2013.

Baby, if you've ever wondered,

Wondered whatever became of me,

I'm waiting on the airlink in Cincinnati,

Cincinnati, LTE.

 

Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,

Tower to tower and up and down the band,

Maybe LTE and me were never meant to be,

But Sprint think of me once in awhile.

I live in Cincinnati (Clifton area) and I work up in West Chester. I feel like I have been seeing better data speeds, especially compared to a few months ago. I stream music all the way up the I-75 corridor and speeds were so bad I couldnt stream a song without buffering multiple times. Now there are only a few spots where its like that.

[ohioratrodder]

i live out in blanchester in the middle of no where get about 2mpbs download, which i am fine with. at work in fairfeild i cant stream music for more the 5mins then have to wait 10-15mins before it comes back. one time i checked speed it was around 300kpbs

That was a great show. I still meet people who, when they find out I'm from Cincinnati, think that's a real station.

Sprint, please do something in the Cincinnati area...

Nice, lets see a screen shot if you can post one up. I'll check on my fiancee's iphone 5 later tonight and see what I connect to in Dayton

Somebody correct me if I am wrong but I don't think the Iphone will tell if it is on eHRPD just "Cellular"

According to Bollar, I think if you go into the Field Test screens using *3001#12345#* you might be able to see it there... All I can do is look and see

that will never happen me being from cincinnati

[dougm0]

I have a theory for LTE in Cincinnati and I hope my theory is totally wrong.

 

We have Wimax and I doubt that when LTE makes it here it wont be of the 1900 Mhz variety but rather of the 800 Mhz flavor.

 

I think that we will get 800 Mhz LTE shortly after IDEN is shut off next summer.

 

This also means the current batch of LTE devices wouldnt be able to use it anyway because they only can use the 1900 Mhz band.

 

I really hope im wrong but I think I own a device that will never see LTE in its lifetime while in the Cincinnati area.

Why would Sprint not deploy 1900 MHz LTE in Cincinnati when they are deploying it on every cell site (except a small percentage that cannot be upgraded)?

You might see both 1900 and 800 MHz LTE in the roll out at the time, but the claim that you will never see 1900 MHz is ridiculous.
