Looks like B26 is exploding all over NC!!! My bud down there is getting great speeds indoor and out...

Got my first ever Sprint LTE signal around noon at the gas station at the 77/Westinghouse interchange. 97ms ping, 5.6 2down, 2.64 up. Then it disappeared and I haven't seen it since (I work very close to that gas station).

I got another 2 miles of LTE mapped from the 77/85 junction down 85 towards Billy Graham. One speed test was 19.1 down / 5.9 up at about mile marker 36-37 and another test was 20.5 down and 6.3 up at the 77/85 junction!

 

Woot!

livetaswim, you can be our guinea pig for next week. :) I was driving through Hwy 74 where it meets 7, near Gastonia and got no LTE through there, even though it's marked on Sensorly. I wonder if my EVO just didn't switch over in time or if the tower was off. I wonder what area they're working on now...

What is your radio version? The one starting with a 3 has worked better for me

I noticed a new spot this morning on Sensorly in Mint Hill near the intersection of HWY 51 and Lawyers Rd. :D

 

I just noticed that myself! It is right on top of my sisters neighborhood so I can check it out tomorrow.

 

The Albemarle Rd lte is back on. I hung on to it a couple miles more than usual.

Any news from uptown?

I am not on LTE yet but I will report on 3g speeds later this week. My coverage has always been good uptown, i.e. many bars, but the network is clearly overloaded as speeds are poor. So hopefully network vision backhaul upgrades will solve everything. Won't be able to really evaluate until everyone gets back to work though.

Got lte today at S Tryon and I-485. Also picked it up at Monroe Rd and Sardis Rd. This is great!!!

 

You mean Monroe & Sardis Rd. N.? or Monroe & Rama (which turns in to Sardis basically). I know there is strong signal at the latter intersection, didn't know about the Galleria area.

 

Got LTE at Idlewild Rd and Independence Blvd. It was gone shortly after. Maybe it was from Rama Rd? I have an iPhone so I can't use Sensorly.

 

I think there is two towers in this vicinity. The one at Rama (near McClintock Middle) and the second one I noticed today at the corner of Monroe & Sharon Amity. I'm not sure if this one is a Sprint tower, but I was getting my car inspected and for the hell of it, looked at my phone; first time I had ever seen 4g. I had full bars, did a test and got 11 mbps down.

 

Pretty excited with this flurry of news I keep hearing/seeing.

I live in Elizabeth, and can tell you I think the 4g around here is either weak or I'm imagining things.

 

I am running a ROM that apparently has "a bad handoff between 4g & 3g", meaning when my data connects to 4g, it won't reconnect to 3g when I'm out of range. I'm not positive, but I have been having issues with my data at my house today, constantly having to reboot to fix; which coincidentally, is the fix for a bad 4g/3g handoff.

 

I could be wrong, but I'm hopeful

Yeah, Sardis Rd. N near Galleria. Also got LTE on Randolph Rd at Cotswold yesterday. And today in Mint Hill (Lawyers Rd and Matthews Mint Hill Rd). I was using the maps today and was really glad LTE was in that area. Before I got to Mint Hill I was on 3G and maps would take forever to load (both Google maps and Apple maps).

 

Charlotte is lighting up with LTE!

Has anybody noticed a new server show up when running a speed test? I would always connect to the one in Chester, SC by default as it was the closest but MI Connection in Mooresville, NC has just shown up. Related to NV upgrades for capacity or some other reason?

Speedtest servers are run by independent persons/companies. No relations whatsoever to Sprint, NV or cell companies in general.
