tyroned3222 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 el paso is supposed to get major upgrades next year. Just a quick update Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe upgrades you want would not help with signal indoors. Only 800 would help that and I think that is a while off for southern NM and El Paso. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanK_ Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 @tyroned3222 I asked last week about some towers and they got pushed back again till December. They wouldn't tell me why. I'm starting to lose faith in them now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 800mhz ibez who knows when they will approve that. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice but think about it. Your speed is basically 10x10 and that is it until GSM and HSPA is turned off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, is there still funding available at the moment for new lte plus sites? Thats all you guys need you already have 800mhz.

Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk It is worth it for me with 5 lines and I pay less than I would with Verizon, ATT or Tmo. I have a work verizon hotspot and yes they may have more coverage but suffer from the same issues sprint does. Yes it helps that band 26 is deployed and used as a bandaid fix for capacity. I think they should just come back and do the GMOs tha are left. Not in a lot of places.

The Westside does need more work then the eastside. Some places everything is useless and it's sort of scary to be honest. If something happens and no way to reach out to emergency services, that's going to bite Sprint in the butt. I even said this to them.

SeanK_ Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 If Sprint starts putting those small cell on the westside, that would really improve things. Wonder if they have any plans for that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that would be easier than bring band 41. band 25 small cells from ericson would be awesome. They could deploy 7 to 10 at the same cost of 1 NV 1.0 tower (cost wise) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice as many of towers on the westside are so spread out. I can't believe the one off Coors and Montano still hasn't been upgraded to LTE.

It was originally suppose to be done by September, but when I asked again recently they said December now.
