tyroned3222 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I wouldn't say that late. This year there will definitely be improvements.

Dkoellerwx Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Heard that as well, but it is unclear to what the investment will be. Will it be actual upgrades will it be just getting the tower ready for the upgrades... who knows! Now if you are sure about that then ill take your word for it. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk What is "getting the tower ready for upgrades"? The towers are already ready for upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroepcke51 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 are you sure tho, that Sprint will make some investments by this summer here? Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Lets dissect yet again. 1. The towers are already upgraded for the need of Band 41 (base station is already in place and fiber to tower). All that is needed is to add a carrier card and new antennae with RRUs. If you were premier, you would see that Las Vegas got band 41 deployment over a short period of time (month or two) and the results are shown in the 1H2016 Rootmetrics report. No second band 25 carrier or band 26 and Sprint won the speed race. 2. If Sprint is not working (which is obviously is not) find the other carrier that works for you. Seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
