jreuschl Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I see there's also a new LTE tower in Racine somewhat near the Harborwalk. Nothing else new besides Oak Creek. Feel like this is going in slow mo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmobiler487 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Good thing our "Plans" will be grandfathered in They might be for now but if you look at the leaked ad for the new plans, it says that the everything data plans do not have the "Sprint unlimited gurantee" which is a feature that Sprint says gurantees unlimited for the life of the line of service, meaning unlimited data on our curent plans may end at some point...

smalltimehack Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 63 on the One and the s4. I haven't installed speed test on our iPhone 5. Maybe I'll do that later today so I can compare em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.phoneguy Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 all these places around Madison have lte. these small towns with less than 5,000 people are getting upgraded, all the while my service is deteriorating around Madison. wtf is going on Sprint? now sprint is hinting at getting rid of unlimited data while their network is still junk? now I have places in Middleton where I'm getting zero bars. I've been feeling like my phone at the wall as of late due to service issue's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmobiler487 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Did a speed test from the lakefront last night...12.37 Mb/s down 5.12 Mb/s up 50 ms ping I can't wait until this covers all of Milwaukee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aackmann Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 please disregard my last rant. needed somewhere to vent. Alot of people feel the same way. But we do know that Sprint is going as fast as they can. They're just upgrading whatever towers they can get to first, whenever the permitting and everything is ready. That's why it kind of looks like a shotgun approach on the map. I'm sure within the city limits of Madison, it's much more difficult to get permits than it is around the less populated outer cities.

mmark27 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Madison proper now has 9 towers with approved permits. It's coming. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyrotten Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I had breakfast on Howell and Drexel this morning. Great speeds! Sure was nice to read a digital newspaper and not wait 3 minutes for each page to act like it's loading, while simultaneously draining my battery to 10% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnathonb Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Battery life has been amazing on my iPhone 5 on the East Side. This is a screen shot of a friend getting LTE only in the middle of a lake up north, where before he didn't even get 3G service prior to 3 weeks ago.

mangurt Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Can you test something for me? Try and stream a few 720p movie trailers on Youtube. Im curious to see if there is any sort of delay/buffering. I did a HD video test via youtube last night....and had no problems streaming it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweyers Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I can't tell you how happy I was to get some LTE goodness along with a Brewers win on 7/9 at Miller Park. 8.32 down, 3.60 up, 47ms ping, good stuff. Last time I was there I had some of the worst Sprint service I have EVER experienced, which is saying something. Things are looking up for Milwaukee! Let's hope Madison is not far behind though, especially 800 voice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmark27 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 and where is this madison tower located? It's the second Sun Prairie tower by the Skate Park out there. It went up on Thursday, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
