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)

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.

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?

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!

    • 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.
