Getting really frustrated with the internet service being so slow in our area for so long. I have been in contact with Sprint since January 2012, and have been told for close to a year now that they know we have towers down and that they would get fixed, but to no avail.

 

Work orders have been submitted according to customer service but our Internet connection speed is almost non existent in our area.

 

We still have three towers down in our area and it's been close to twelve months.

 

Has anyone else been in contact with sprint or have noticed the super slow Internet speed in Medford Oregon area?

Network Vision upgrades are just about to begin in the Oregon market in the next few months. They will be upgrading all the equipment and backhaul to current standards and add LTE. Every site will be upgraded. It is likely that Sprint is riding out the existing network in your area because permanent upgrades are coming soon.

Thanks for the comments. On average I have access to speeds of .050k to .150 k speed during the day and night. I've had customer service confirm the speed about every 3 months when I call in to remind them it has not gotten better.

 

At least their is hope on the horizon.

 

I"ve been with Sprint for over 10 years and am pretty happy overall. Just the internet speed or lack of this last year is frustrating.

 

Thanks for your time.

Medford doesn't strike me as an area that I've had problems with. I fly in there once every two months or so. I'm going to be there a few days after Thanksgiving. Are you near the downtown area? That's where I stay and as I said, I don't recall having really bad 3G speeds there.

Robert, there is a member of S4GRU who has their picture on the wall of an IHOP for eating 17 pancakes in one sitting and winning a pancake eating competition. Any guesses who that could be...

maybe someone can fill in the blanks. I know the Medford area is a new US Cellular 4G LTE Market. I heard from a few sources Sprint will be using their towers as well. I think they are towers owned or ran by King Street whom Sprint signed a deal with a short time ago.

I think I was confusing Medford with Eugene. When I was there this weekend, my Sprint coverage was horrific. Reverted to 1 x most of the time. It was essentially useless.

 

thanks! I know the Medford area has U.S. Cellular 4G service. I was thinking Sprint wouldn't be too far behind considering the tower agreement they recently signed.

I like Medford. It's a nice little burg. I'd move there in a heartbeat if there was work for me there.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
