Hypeo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Things are a mixed bag right now. Service has improved in the Foothills but today I was driving around the old part of town and trying to map with Sensory and it could not even pull up the map.... Lateck, This sucks, the tower that I connect to it home started failing again, 3 days ago. It started behaving the same way it did about a month ago.

I wonder if it's failing like the one at 20th Street. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Well I know the tower their on ave b has had a cherry picker their for the last idk 3.5 months and it looks like one set of panels are missing some. I'm not sure if they are sprint panels or if that is a sprint tower or not. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechSmurf Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's not as quiet in the sponsor area. I'm running out of permits to track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateck Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It's not as quiet in the sponsor area. I'm running out of permits to track. Do you know if Sprint has plans to add more towers in Yuma County? I have been playing with Sonsorly (FUN ) and I am finding a lot of 1 & 2 bar 3G areas. I have not seen an acceptable speedtest in the county.. (on Sonsorly) But the main corrador of Yuma is in the 3~5 bar 3G range Lateck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halcyoncmdr Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Work being done at the site between the El Con Mall and Reid Park in Tucson. Orange barricades, and several trucks. Large wire bundles and trenches dug out from the site. Interestingly, all of the equipment on the ground is out in the open, no fence or wall around the site, never has had any protection like that there.

If you look at the sprint network enhancement map, looks like they added one more tower on 24th Street and 4th Ave, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to add another one out in the Foothills...maybe just north of i-8 exit 12 seeing as how that is only about 3 miles from my house...that would be great!

With Sensorly, I was loosing signal completely at times, near Ave B & Cty 19th. In San Luis AZ the same, when you move away from the Hwy 95 corridor. On a side note: It's fun mapping with Sensorly..... I find myself looking for places to drive though on my trips just so I can map it....... (Can't wait for LTE......)

Phaze Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Tip when using Speedtest.net to check / test your speeds - Use Albuquerque, NM - Internet Exchange NM It is the best testing server when in Tucson, I don't find Tucson AZ speed test servers accurate as the NM servers.

Ejm2420 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Haven't replied since July.. This seems dead. Is there the slightest light at the end of the tunnel for LTE in tucson? Because I remember it was estimated to be due in July/August. Yet were in October and nothing new/exciting? Just wondering. :-) Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then Phoenix started rolling out. Now LTE is only Casa Grande away. We'll get ours eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly George2 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Just walked ih the house from dropping the boys at Boy Scouts. Thier meeting location is basically at the base of a tower just south of Sierra Vista, AZ 4067 E Monsanto Dr, Sierra Vista, AZ 85650 PH12AL030 There was a backhoe there with two workers digging and signs that they had a trenched from where they were at back to the tower. The trench had been filled in. I stopped and talked with them and they stated it was fiber to the tower. They had no information on any other Sprint tower fiber work thier company was doing but did state most of it has been for Verizon and ATT.

S4GRU Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 broken promises for over 2 years now, this thread is over a year old almost 900 replies and we are still here with no LTE Someone made a promise to you? Hmmm... Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanOfSkynyrd Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 In south county too... With Sensorly, I was loosing signal completely at times, near Ave B & Cty 19th.

I find myself looking for places to drive though on my trips just so I can map it....... (Can't wait for LTE......) Lateck, I would agree, a tower in the south of the country would be nice. I'm in the Marines and our shooting ranges are located in the southern portion of the county. I think I roam on a Mexico tier when I'm down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
