In building reception will improve as well

Didn't we already talk about how smr won't penetrate our dang stucco houses with the wire mesh as well as higher frequency ;) jk....kinda. It will help :)

It will not penetrate stucco better. But it will penetrate the roof and windows better resulting in much improved reception. The larger the wavelength, the harder it is to get through the stucco Faraday cage.

I am not worried about my house as it is brick. I have problems at my work. I work in the Wells Fargo building on Louisiana and it would be nice to have a signal when I enter inner rooms.

When there was smr testing at the Yale and Cesar Chavez site last fall I was picking up signal in basements all around UNM. Places that never had signal before.

Exactly what I want.

 

Also I visited 6 sites that were accepted over the past three months and all of them have legacy removed. I need to upload the speeds I was getting from these towers. I liked it.

This should me amazing, because I live 3.1 miles away from the nearest tower, and have no service in my house, and terrible service outside. I usually have to keep my phone on the windowsill if I'm expecting a call.

In the meantime, you could definitely see about getting an airave from Sprint for free. It will give you native coverage in your house so you don't have to worry about missing phone calls.

I didn't get a chance to do an actual speed test, but I got way better speeds than I usually do along Central and at Uptown today. I managed to stream from iTunes Match with no issues while driving on Central from Juan Tabo to I-25, whereas I would usually end up losing the connection so badly that iTunes forgot what song I was listening to. Same thing in Uptown - streaming usually lags into nonexistence once I get off I-40, but today it stayed crystal clear all the way through parking.

So I got this text message from sprint

 

SprintFreeMsg: Over the next month, the new network will be largely completed in your area. See new phone offer at http://sprint.us/upgrade1 Reply S to stop.

 

Now what am I to believe? I sure do not think there will by any LTE in Alamogordo, or even Las Cruces either.

It might have been sent to everyone connected to our core, aka everyone in our market.  I, however, did not get it.

Do we know if other markets from other users who got this have seen LTE within the next month?

I remember like a week before El Paso was publicly announced with LTE, an old friend of mine got that text. And isn't El Paso technically in the Albuquerque market?

So if a tower is NV, is it also capeable of 800 lte and voice? What is the delay for turning those on too in areas not close to the border?

Yes of the tower has three rrus per sector it is capable. However without seeing it and determining if Alamogordo is in the ibez.
