nexuss4g Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 So what is the deal in South OC and Ladera Ranch? Coverage seems to have gotten worse! I cannot get LTE in any reliable capacity near my home, in the middle of Ladera Ranch, and the area is supposed to have two fully working, upgraded LTE towers right now- am I wrong, or aren't both Ladera Ranch towers now full LTE? They might be LTE accepted but still waiting for fiber and/or backhaul. Theres more than 2 accepted site in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansilv Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Are all the sites surrounding Ladera accepted? Can anyone comment on whether back haul had been done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexuss4g Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Are all the sites surrounding Ladera accepted? Can anyone comment on whether back haul had been done? Recommend becoming a sponsor, it will provide more info in regards sites, location of towers and acceptance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The map for orange county is looking better and better every update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefTor Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Aliso Viejo just got a lot more filled in. I believe a tower near/on the 73 just went 4G. I think the map that is supposed to show all sites regardless of network vision status is a little outdated because it looked like the majority of the towers in the main part of Aliso were complete. I'm excited to see the 4G complete map updated so I can see what happened. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 There's a tower that is 1000 feet away from my office that I can see clearly from my window that I am hoping will get upgraded soon. I tether because I don't want the company knowing what I am doing and 4G will help alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila_TheFun Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 For people who have S4GRU sponsor access... I posted some graphs of the OC network vision updates over time at http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1120-Comments-related-to-NV-Sites-Complete-&-Site-Acceptance-Update-Threads&do=findComment&comment=218619 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 How do you become a sponsor? Is it through that PayPal donation on the front page? I would love to check out the upgrade plans for San Clemente and South Orange County. 3G only makes me a sad panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loudo Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Seen LTE fairly steady now in lake forest by saddleback church Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aroot Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 steady LTE in some parts of Tustin since yesterday. much better than the spotty 3g we've had since the beginning of the year! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefTor Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've noticed a lot of AT&T trucks in the Aliso Viejo area recently and 4g starting to pick up in the area. Is AT&T in charge of the backhaul in our area? I also noticed one of their trucks near the basil one exit so hopefully that one goes 4G soon too.

JosefTor Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 For people who have S4GRU sponsor access... I posted some updated graphs of the OC network vision updates over time at the below link.

dplcj Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Anyone else notice that the Network Vision/LTE Deployment Running List has been updated showing that OC is launched as of 10/31/13? I really hope this is true, but they really need to speed up deployment in Irvine and south.. The NV sites complete maps look really spotty down hear for even 3G complete much less LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Apps cannot show the location of the tower you are connected to because they do not broadcast their location! Usually, they broadcast a point offset several blocks, or even miles from the actual site. We don't know why this is done, but most markets you cannot rely on these apps to find cell sites, you need S4GRU's maps.

"Launched" means that Sprint will send out a press release tomorrow stating that LTE is available in Santa Ana and Anaheim, and the coverage will be added to the coverage maps. You'll also be able to call in trouble tickets on LTE, something you haven't been able to do at this point. "Launched" does not mean that the network is complete, or that you should expect LTE everywhere. Work will continue on the market for many more months until it is complete. Sprint launches an area when the LTE coverage reaches about 40% of the population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like when they first launched LA at 40% it had a lot better coverage than Anaheim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service has improved in the Disneyland area. I was there on Saturday. The park was real busy, LTE and 3G speeds were usable. Last year, the Disney area was useless, calls not going thru, texts failing to send no 3G service. I'm enjoying NV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern seems to be pretty good, but where from Anaheim on Southern is super spotty with weak connections at best. Yeah, Looks like they are launching LTE for those where were lucky enough to already have WiMax. The rest of us who were not so lucky have to continue to suffer with the old network for a while longer. This is about the spot Clear wire ran out of $$ last time... Leaving Irvine at a snails pace.. I am hopeful that with the Softbank buyout it won't be a repeat of that with LTE roll out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
