183kbs upload speeds are anything but decent. decent *maybe* 10 years ago...

 

for sprint, pre-network vision, 1.1mbps is good,

 

183 kbps still pretty crappy, i get between 100kbps and 1mbps, depends on the day

i sure as hell hope so. maybe +S4GRU can confirm??

 

 

So watching the sprint tower upgrade site https://network.spri...m/search/68521/ , for Lincoln, it was at 13 for several months and just jumped up to 26 tower upgrades in the last week. Omaha's also has had a big jump. They are mostly speed upgrades. Could this be good news?

Three towers close to the base are all along my favorite summer biking route. Wondering what I should look for in upgrade equipment? Anyone know any companies that would be doing the upgrades or if equipment would be visible overnight? I could take some pictures if anyone is interested.

if you see any workers/construction/equipment taking place, take pics and fill us in!

For what it's worth. I was doing some work at a Lincoln site that us cellular is upgrading to 4g and a sprint worker was there troubleshooting something. I asked if they where ever going to upgrade and he said they will be this summer and want to have it up and running by the first husker game.

If LTE is up by then I will be so happy. :lol:

Just to add some more rumor to the fire: While upgrading to the HTC One I was having a conversation with a Sprint sales representative at an Omaha store. He said someone was recently in the store and claimed to be from out of town here to start construction on the towers. Otherwise he was pretty non-committal about anything happening soon. I lost my WiMax test tower access ( love the phone though ) so now I'm even more excited about LTE. Hopefully soon!

Very plausible info received. They are starting work.

Still seeing more upgrades added every few days. Have noticed a huge improvement in 3G service. Can actually stream high quality music when driving during rush hours .

Between the third and fourth Husker game. Was supposed to be launched around June (Before 4th of July/Memorial Park Concert) but technical difficulties pushed it back a few months. Until then, the avg 1.8 mbps dl speeds aren't TOO bad. :tu:

You will start seeing some (more) outages around Bellevue, Plattsmouth, and Millard soon due to this.

Could not even stream 28kbs so I could listen to my internet radio. :angry:

I was getting 0.09 mb/s down around i-80 and the Giles exit. I just ended up flipping on XM. :\

So is it crazy for me to jump to Sprint right now from Verizon, with the hope things are going to be getting better and that 4G is coming?

 

I will get a 23% discount hrough work with Sprint, which makes my bill from Verizon go down significally. In addition, I plan to cancel cable and just do Hulu/Netflix/ESPN (sprint tV)...

 

Or should I maybe wait a bit longer.

Wait a couple more months before taking the jump and watch the progress from here. Or you can suffer now but watch a historical process of how a carrier that was almost driven to the ground rebuild itself (and its network) to bring competition to the ruling duopoly.

Okay, going to kill my wife though. Her phone is out of contract now and it's running on fumes...it's getting really bad. She is begging me to lte her upgrade to the iPhone 4s or 5 on Verizon, and said she doesn't mind if we switch to Sprint, but to do it now.

 

What type of speeds are people getting on 3g in LIncoln? To be honest, that last week or so on verizon, I have only been getting about .3 to .5

You need to file a trouble ticket on that.

Expect that or even worse on legacy 3g sites until they upgrade the backhaul to NV ready status (you'll get 1-> 2.5 mbps if so) and upgrade the equipment.

I work and live by the airport and average about 0.2-0.3. But it gets bad in the afternoon sometimes where I only get 0.05-0.1. During non peak times i have seen 1-1.5. But the 1.5 is rare.

That was just one of the really bad days but I usually only get 0.2-.3. But no trouble ticket will fix that. Just waiting for tower upgrades.

Great to know, because I just bought a house over on NW 45th, which is right by the airport, I'm guessing I would be using the same towers. Do you ever have issues with dropping calls? Or just the data?

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
