CAREND Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I called about this LAST year. They initially said May/April. It's now September and I haven't seen any progress and 3G continues to be near useless at times. I'm really hoping they can start speeding things up. On a side note, I'm also wondering if the new triband phones will significantly increase reception of LTE. I know the LG G2 is supposed to be triband. I hope the Note 3 is as well. A donation would get you access to some pretty nifty maps that will tell you what kind of progress there is going on around you and what towers are nearest to you. Just look in my signature. As for information from reps or anyone really at Sprint, it's a "we'll say whatever to appease you and get you off the phone" type deal. That info is a LOT less reliable then this information on this site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangecrestsprintreppin Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 As long as I have 4glte speeds of 5mbps down and 2 mbps up everywhere I go I'm good I dont care about that other fancy stuff like triband and lte advanced to me that's pointless because 5mbps down and 2 mbps up is perfect for streaming videos surfing the web and downloading stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicente_Navarro Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 San Bernardino progress has been little to none these past couple weeks. Service has been terrible in 92405, not only is 3G unusable all my calls get dropped now even with full bars -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jes_jes_jes Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Has anyone spotted any LTE coverage in the Riverside area by the Arlington High School tower or Cal Baptist Tower? In general when are we getting LTE service in Riverside???? I was in the Corona Public Library earlier and I've got amazing LTE service inside the Library. Good penetration. Major plus!! Don't know how to upload pictures on here.. but i got 51ping... Download of 5.61 mbps, Upload 0.65mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenavo34 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 does anyone know what the actual "average" of LTE should be when it rolls out? Poster above says he got 5.61 mbps. From what Ive seen in southern CA, that's the 3G speed for other carriers. Whenever I do speedtests with my friends they get far superior numbers to Sprint. T-Mobile HSPA- 13mbps Verizon- 21mbps Sprint- 3mbps (I was on LTE) Granted that isn't everywhere, but we did the speedtests at the exact same locations. I'm clinging onto Sprint because of their unlimited and hopes that they get everything deployed but it's getting harder to stay with them.

While the others can do faster speeds, the big question is whether those speeds keep up with increasing load on the network. Based on Sprint's spectrum holdings and NV, I think Sprint will pass that test. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm clinging onto Sprint because of their unlimited and hopes that they get everything deployed but it's getting harder to stay with them. I heard in the forums and articles that it should be around 3-5 mbps. Lets remember that the LTE network is still in progress so speeds might vary. Also, you cant compare to HSPA from T-mobile speeds due to a different technologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndre Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Speeds are going to vary. I have gotten as high as 21mbps down and 6mbps up. It usually is between 5-10mbps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexuss4g Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Nextel site. Before it has 4 panels on each side. I believe it still some legacy 3g panels. Im unsure. Updated tower in Chino, cant find the before pics. Sorry guys https://www.dropbox.com/sh/avamixuw9wl6u47/gE8Axt2r_9 Looks like 800 is connected? correct me if I'm wrong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAREND Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 October is almost here. Who cares you say? We should! Supposed Official LTE launch ? If you are going by the official launch dates as stated on this site, that is superfluous to the information gathered from the data received. In short, Chill.

sigxbill Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I emailed sprint and they said all of riverside and san bernardino counties should be covered by the end of the year could I get a copy of that email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigxbill Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 ... you cant compare to HSPA from T-mobile speeds due to a different technologies. just curious - why can't you compare speed to speed? from my perspective, i don't really care how you get there ...

Mikey_Bloop Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So is sprint adding new towers during this nv upgrade? I'm not sure if it's sprints but sprint is the only company I know that is doing upgrades in this area. There is a tower off Pedley and granite hill rd and it had two different companies panels (one panel at the top and a set of panels under it) . And today I drove by it and noticed a third set of panels. Did sprint add a these panels on the tower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live around the corner from a Sprint tower that has been NV complete for about 4 months that is still using 3G. I'm still waiting to get a 4G lte signal from it. According to the Sprint upgrades map this site is complete. IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexuss4g Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The site might be NV complete, but maybe waiting for fiber connections. Might take months to go online or might take days.

dmontoya25 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 4g lighting up in Banning. The tower is by Hargrave & Ramsey. it seems to reach 22nd St going West. It has been mapped a bit on sensorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemanracing Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Connected to LTE on my i5 at the Shell in Mission Grove in Riverside last night. Pulled between 9 and 13 down and 1 to 3 up. With my gf sitting next to me with her AT&T i5s pulling over 40 down and almost 20 up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_Bloop Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I was getting lte on my way to school at csusb. I checked the map and I was at the split of the 215 and the 259 in San Bernardino.
