Network Vision/LTE - Albuquerque market (including El Paso, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Roswell)

[john69]

Well I hope you are right. Because this is just PATHETIC. Then again, I was getting great 3G speeds last week. I have not (yet) abandoned hope.

[dynomike]

Same here.....data speeds and call quality is all over the board and. Virtually NO signal in some places that formerly had good signal and vice versa. This better mean something good.

We'll now that all of the holidays are done. Let's hope for some LTE integrations to start. Still no sign of back haul in Alamogordo, I have been getting an occasional ping below 100, most run from 115 to 200. I am greatful for the fix on data connection problems.

[techcj_manzer]

I don't know how this happened, but it did. This was at Juan Tabo and Lomas. I have never had the best speeds or ping ever here, and could never hold a call more then 5 minutes. Seems like a pretty high speed for that ping... But I wouldn't know that well.

On the actual image it shows the cellular icon. This was when I was at subway. I am on wifi NOW when I uploaded it because I can't upload on *sprint where I live.

So does anyone know for sure if backhaul has been laid? Has anyone seen cl near sprint towers?

I am really optimistic we will see our first live lte in the next few weeks or so.  I am also optimistic in thinking that CL has probably already upgraded a lot of sites with backhaul.  It still just baffles me why they weren't brought online with backhaul as they were completed.

If Albuquerque is relying on chlorine, Colgate-Palmolive, or craigslist for backhaul, you are in for a long wait.

You have it all wrong.  In Albuquerque we rely on C₁₀H₁₅N.

This may be one of the funniest oneliners ever used at S4GRU!!!  

 

Now that is nerdy and trashy, all at the same time!!  It's sad that is what ABQ is known for outside of New Mexico though.

You must be Breaking Backhaul.  That is why your market is moving along so slowly.

Network communication issues all week....but at least this site keeps the optimism smoldering.

[dynomike]

This forum is just like Breaking Bad. In the sense that I am addicted to checking it 5 times a day in hopes someone is going to announce the grand finale.......LTE HAS ARRIVED!!!. Yeah right. Wishful thinking. LOL!

I can't keep a call tonight.  I was talking to my brother in Iowa for 20/30 minutes and I dropped twice.  I usually have sub 90db at my house.  I called Sprint Support and they are giving credits (not much mind you).  I can only imagine what Chicago was like with all the dropped calls.

[khammondnm]

Maybe good news...? I saw a white truck, no markings, at a Sprint site today that I'm pretty sure has had upgraded backhaul for a couple weeks now. Who would do the lte integration? Does Ericsson do that as a part of their maintenance contact for Sprint or does the nv contractor for the area, which is also Ericsson for abq, do it?

Does anybody know the speed difference between T-Mobile wideband LTE and Sprint Spark in real world scenarios, or did this network just got launch and is till being tested.

Sprint 4G LTE is kind of okay where I live, sometimes is pain in the ass I will get .50 up and .30 up using 4G LTE. I can't wait to be complete. Also any know when when Las Cruces is having 4G LTE the store is saying soon very soon but I cant wait!

I know for certain that it is Ericsson techs doing integrations in the ABQ market. I've ran into them before in Santa Fe, Española and Los Alamos before. They wore Ericsson polo shirts, but never drove Ericsson trucks.
