Where in the Boston area (both city and surrounding) have people successfully connected to a LTE tower? I am in the lower mills area bordering Milton and seem to only get decent 3G speeds.. i drive through the city everyday for work and never pick up an LTE signal... I also work at Somerville Hospital and don't get anything there but really slow 3G speeds... is something wrong with my phone or am I just not in the right area where there is a LTE tower?

 

I have a friend witha SGIII and he's getting LTE pretty consistently in Peabody. I'm in the Lawrence/Methuen/Haverhill area and I've never gotten an LTE signal, but have been seeing eHRPD for months.

I didn't actually do the tracking, but I haven't seen the person who did update this post yet, not sure if they even know about this website.

 

Anyway, I saw on sensorly just now that somebody has picked up a fairly large LTE signal in Norwood on route 1 right near the Walpole mall area on the East Walpole line. There is a Sprint store right around that area, which is a corporate store, so maybe they got a tower on their store turned on today.

 

Also the Franklin, Ma sprint store 456 West Central Street has an LTE tower at their store as of today.

In East Boston and no LTE. Was able to get it in the Saugus/Peabody area about a week ago. I want my 4G

[Mercurial1]

The sprint stores are not getting macrorepeaters but a few are getting in building ones.

Yeah, I suffered 2 years with that phone. Then someone bought it from me for $150... crazy.

 

Do the words "insufficient memory" throw you into a psychotic rage? My blood pressure went up 40 points just writing the words together. You must have the patience of a saint to still be using that phone.

 

I have about 7 app updates from the Play Store that I keep ignoring because I know it won't work. Fortunately I work from home most of the time so I don't have to use my phone THAT often.

 

Just waiting until I make a decision on what phone I want. Still leery of the Evo.

I love my SGSIII. Had the Evo 4G LTE for 2 weeks, and sold it back to Sprint. MUCH prefer the 1 filesystem and 32G of my SGSIII.

 

If that helps.

After some good natured joking about his phone getting LTE I nearly grabbed the q in afit of blind rage and threw it on the ground...

This sucks I can't connect to lte in Chicago. Anyone connecting to lte in the oak lawn, Bridgeview, Palos area.

Any iPhone 5 users connect to LTE yet? Let's see some speedtest screenshots.

 

Shortly after I posted this I called a local sprint store and found out that my wife could do an Upgrade Now/Buy Up for $50 and then she was even able to get $52 back for her Evo Shift. Best of all they still had some in stock at 3pm. So my wife now has a Sprint iPhone 5. Driving back from the store she got LTE on Milwaukee Ave between 22 and Deerfield Rd. A speed test got 8.6down and 2.6up with a ping of 49ms. When we lost LTE the performance wasn't as good so I'm guessing the 3G sites near us don't have updated backhaul yet (.3down and .2up 150-200ms pings).

 

Now the real test will be if the dropped calls go down but that will take a couple of days to get a feel for.

hopefully it gets better. what i got today wasnt impressive at all.

I've been desperately checking in the oak lawn, evergreen park, Beverly, alsip, areas for a while. I get eHRPD but no LTE. I've been frantically checking the maps for new active towers but no dice. While the speeds in the south and suburban areas have improved marginally, no lte. BTW I work in the west loop and the speeds are HORRIBLE! Any where near Chicago and halsted is pointless. My phone is a paperweight at work with out wifi. But LTE IS COMING. That's all you have to keep telling yourself.

I got 4g on Farrell Rd in Lockport. I think I had sensorly mapping it for me at the time. You may be able to look a sensorly and see it

Still can't pick up LTE in Tewksbury... Was able to before during testing... Are all towers due to go online?

Nope. I'm at Rt. 6 and Parker Rd, (unincorporated area, Marley/Mokena), zip, zero, nada. Went to Lemont this afternoon, nothing. Went to Menards on Bell in Homer, nada.

 

Hate to say it, but: meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

 

I'll be heading up to Oak Lawn for the evening, I'll give it a whirl. Ain't holding my breath.
