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.

1X800 slowly turning on in North Corona. Some sites are still on 1xRTT down south Corona.  Pretty excited as this will help with a lot with battery life

If you go back to September there was no LTE in LA at all. Now there is LTE everywhere. I know it is tough to be patient, but Robert has told us many times that things will start happening fast. He

B25 LTE switched on the towers between Indio and just outside Blythe on I-10, nice long stretch. Cactus City rest stop, Chiriaco Summit, Desert Center, all the way to the Wiley's Well rest area have u

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

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 -_-

Don't jinx it! Its the quiet before the storm!!! And I really miss me some rain:-\

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

The site might be NV complete, but maybe waiting for fiber connections. Might take months to go online or might take days.

Maybe you were getting LTE from a near site? or probably someone mapped during testing.
