this is a rumor that leaked april 11th saying almost 2 dozen cities were gonna launch yesterday. that didnt happen obviously, but i think it is an interesting read. if it does happen this means that sprint is getting quicker at deploying sites (my opinion)

Cool, hope they are getting it in gear!

I cant wait until they get the towers closer to my house upgraded. still get 3G but its not as good as the connection just down the road.

 

At my house -

Down the street -

The coverage map sows I10 being LTE, am I reading this wrong?

What coverage map?

[CaveCam]

if this is true i will drive tonight,,,, can someone confirm? and i10 is huge anywhere more specifically?

A sprint rep told me this as well but no map is showing up with LTE so i have no idea

[htabbach]

What coverage map?

 

The official Sprint coverage map, it shows I10 in LTE color!

[CaveCam]

I looked i didnt see anything

Yeah that's what i thought. None of the towers in the are look like they had any work done so it was just a straight up lie from sprint.

can you post a screen shot?

[halcyoncmdr]

Not sure where you're looking, I can't find any 4G LTE coverage on the official coverage map anywhere along I-10 in AZ. Not to mention no towers have started 4G conversions yet either, so it's sort of impossible.

 

Unless you're talking about the color used for the Interstates happening to be a similar color as the one used for 4G LTE coverage... which is obviously not the case as signal propagation does not work that way and to assume that a signal would be exactly the same width as the interstate the entire length and follow the same exact path... just no.

[htabbach]

Yeah I think it is just the same color, was just wondering, sorry for the false alarm!

I see Brian Klug is on Twitter, going into Sprint hard.

 

He even hit S4GRU upside the head. Ouch.

Work did indeed start in Winter, just as was stated. It didn't say it would be complete in Winter. ALU mobilized in the Tucson Yuma market in January, just a few weeks after Winter started. They started getting sites accepted in March, before the first day of Spring. *sigh*

So by this time next year lte should be finished and running?

[Fraydog]

I live in a VZW market that's just as bad. 200 Kbps.

 

That reply didn't yet generate a response. Also, LTE is south of here, with VZW deploying in the middle of nowhere south of Chester. VZW deployment has hit the looney bin for me. If it's this bad I'll go to Alltel even as it gets swallowed into the fail whale that is AT&T.

 

I could also try a $30 T-Mobile SIM...my options here suck.

The first LTE signals will probably start going live in June. The first sites to get LTE will be sites already accepted with the 3G NV upgrades. After LTE sites start going live, coverage will grow more and more every week until the whole market is completed.

 

It will likely take 6-9 months to complete the whole market once LTE starts to go live.

Killer, cant wait!

 

I will be going up to Eugene, Oregon next month so it will be fun to play with the LTE up there.

 

Also hope you enjoyed your vaca man!
