I was at the new Starbucks at academy and Wyoming this morning. I was getting same speeds.

What were your speeds?

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

This speed test is by coors & quail at the Home Depot, I believe there is a sprint tower within rocks throw from here.

I was the same as above. Dl in the 2's. However my ping was slightly higher in 120's.

I ran this test on the 26th near Coors and Quail. 

 

This one was on the 24th off Montano in Taylor Ranch.

They must be working on the tower then? Is the sprint tower the one by the sprint store?

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

Just to be funny but I do hope we see these speeds on sprint LTE soon lol this is the att wifi at Home Depot

Those sure look like pings done on fiber.

Seeing how EVDO air link both ways is typically between 60-80ms, that means the backhaul itself was 40-60ms. That's tough to do on burdened T1's. Makes me optimistic. Especially since it is a widespread and sudden thing.

Has anyone ran tests in downtown ABQ? Or nobhill? I do know the service sucks between coors and central to central and New York! Lol

Let there be LTE in ABQ! WE NEED IT BADLY! Going to try and drive around some on the westside and see if any changes happen.

Yes! Once I finally have money to waist on gas and a venti frappuccino, then I will probably drive all around town. I was down visiting family for Christmas in Clovis, enjoying LTE there, but you know, once you go to the big city, back to slow 3G.

[jroepcke51]

I heading over to central soon for church. I will run some tests on the accepted towers.

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

It's coming, just need to be patient

[Bulldog274]

lol this is insane. Sprint customer service told me that FULL LTE was supposed to be fired on last night at 6 +/- a couple hours...I didn't believe that though. The stores in ABQ and RR tell me that it's going to done within the next 2 weeks. Now it might be until March. I really wish Sprint would keep these employees more informed on what's happening with the roll out. I can't even make calls where I live by CNM westide

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

All I know is that my friend who works at the sprint store on Menaul is also upset that no one knows really the exact time but there is 54 LTE upgrades in ABQ.

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

Remember 3rd party stores don't know that much information cause there computer systems are different and corporate stores know more info and the only 3rd party store who is the HQ for bright star wireless who knows good info is the one on San Mateo & Montgomery.

I've learned never to listen to CS. A few weeks ago they told me it was supposed to be up 12/17th. The only thing keeping me with them is the consistent $15 credits for my complaining, and the hope that once LTE is launched, it really will be the amazing brand new network Sprint has been shoving down our throats for years.

Right you are sir. Mi madre works for the call center in RR and apparently they are just given a "quarterly market LTE expansion" document that really gives no more info. The Sprint store I mainly go to is the one on Southern and Golf Course. It has a repair center in it so I'm guessing it's a corporate store? At any rate generally they know what they're talking about. 

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

Yes that one is a cooperate store and there are only 4 in the ABQ metro area.

I was under the impression that the only true corporate store was the one on menaul.

I hope that all the stores would cooperate. I would not go to an uncooperative store.

There is only 3. 

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

3 in ABQ and one in Santa Fe.

[NmNickelbackerfan2012]

Most sprint stores are are operated by bright star wireless, but the 2 best corporate stores are Menaul & Dakota, and Coors and Alameda by hooters and lowes, for the Menaul store if you need something done talk to Donovan, Vail, or the managers names are JT, Matt and Mandy they are really good! I've had some issues with my iPhone and they helped me out and vail is my good friend. The alameda store is awesome too the manager out there is mike an older man he is also good at helping customers get what they need or want from phones to products n info.

[S4GRU]

The Rio Rancho store at Southern & Golf Course is also a Corporate store.  It is also a repair location.
