mfield Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 LTE (or eCSFB) is out in bay area this morning. My phone had no signal around 7-8:30am, and now it's got 3G but frequently starts roaming. Normally, I'd be pissed, but after reading this board, outages usually mean good things are coming. I have seen a lot of the same over the past week or so... lots of roaming where I normally would not, many times no LTE where I normally would have it, and having a terrible time making/keeping a call in certain spots where I would not normally have that problem (although the last item has been happening in an area where data is terrible so I have been thinking it's just intermittently part of the deal in that area).

crazy_vag Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I've had no data since 10am through now... it's almost 4:30pm. Phone roaming on MetroPCS. Haven't seen it this bad in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yea, Sprint always seems to leave downtown for last. SF, SJ. Even look at downtown Chicago in the loop. Many towers that are not touched yet. I'm following the Omaha, NE market, and these guys went from nothing in Oct to pretty much done today. Sounds like we're still at least 6 months away from proper coverage. Coverage in SF is pathetic, and you can drain your phone in less than 10 hours just carrying it around. SDV/SLTE help drain battery twice as fast. I'll add Downtown Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn in NYC to that list. But that was due to Hurricane Sandy, 2 years ago. Verizon had to upgrade all infrastructure, including fiber, in the area. Now these areas are getting LTE very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky222b Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I live right next to City Hall in downtown SJ. Only seeing very lousy 3G at my place, and in a 4 block or so radius around me. I have noticed that down in Willow Glen or up in Milpitas that there is great LTE coverage. Guess they're taking their sweet time in northside and horace mann.

LuisBOSS302 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 where? and what speed? B26 was a false alarm. it said B26 but I was never on B26. B41 by 280 but it throws you off right away because of issues still needing to be resolved in South San Jose. Once they're solved you'll be connected on B41.

LuisBOSS302 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 South San Jose is shaping up much better. Not as good as cities like Fremont, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, or even North San Jose but it's getting there. Connected to a couple of B41 sites without any problems. Didn't force my phone on LTE only mode so that's a rally good sign. I'll be down her soon to see how things are going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfield Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 For no good reason, I checked the coverage map at coverage.sprint.com, and it shows that pretty much ALL of San Jose should have LTE coverage right now. I am still getting 3G in the south half of San Jose, for the most part. Is it worth opening a ticket with Sprint support? In the two months since the cluster launch of NV sites, and since the official LTE launch of San Jose, nothing has changed in terms of my experience on the network.

LuisBOSS302 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Held B41 from mission blvd exit on 680 all the way to Almaden expressway exit on 87. Even there I had b41 until best buy. I was surprised at the range of the B41 signal. Good stuff today in south SJ. Huge improvement over how it was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonedude24 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Anyone in south Monterey county "Soledad area" know if the towers have LTE?

Donate some money to this site and you have information on all the towers in this market and across the country. I know many are just 3G accepted just waiting for the back haul to start broadcasting LTE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisBOSS302 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 B41 all over the 49ers new Levi's Stadium. I was there from 9am until the game ended and I held B41 the whole time. In the morning I peaked at 40 mbps and during the game it was about 6-9 mbps. I easily sent texts, emails, loaded Web pages, posted on IG, vine, fb, and all that fun stuff. Everything would load fast. My signal was between 102-113 dbm in the game. Never fell back on 3G. Beyond impressed with my service! The stadium was packed as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xlegendxero Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Just waiting on confirmation from Rob but I think the switch for LTE in Gonzales has finally been flipped. I was getting full bars a 1/4 mile from the tower. Although I don't get LTE from home. Exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
