Maybe the take over happens to slow down the upgrades

Most time all new 8t8r sites average 45 55 mbps down and off peak early mornings and after midnight 95 to 115 mbps. Only thing late band 26 very bad sub 1.5mbps. So indoors not good at all. I see no new sites add or completed nv 1.0 only like 4 or 5 sites need backhaul mostly rural area.

Subsequently I actually have Boost Mobile now and I'm going down to Delaware very soon why 1415 weeks I really hope they improve the service in Rehoboth Beach... Does Rehoboth Beach at least have decent service

So i was think today how would they do volte if coverage drops 3g alot ,lot dead areas in delaware and densifacation going be forever . 2017 maybe volte but i would not hold my breath . I think band 41 is doing ok but needs more work.

[bcltoys]

Don't think Sprint is ever going to have 4g in lower Cecil county just not needed, Verizon and AT&T are letting coverage slip down here also at one time I could pull 20 to 30 mbps I'm lucky if I pull 1 mbps now, it could be cell shrinkage.

[shannonbrian]

Well 3g in celicton about 1.7mbps on avearge .

[shannonbrian]

The same thing for rising sun area too.

[danlodish345]

I day the same thing for rising sun area 2.

I wouldn't count on it. They are slashing spending on network vision...

They aren't slashing NV 1.0 spending, which has already been financed. Sprint is pushing NGN (mass B41 small cell) back into their FY 2017, which doesn't align with the calendar year.

That's not quite accurate. The reduced their expected CAPEX spending, which is generally a response to slower permitting progress on small cells. Marcelo also said that if they are able to kick up small cell / new macro deployment, CAPEX will increase accordingly. 

[shannonbrian]

You think backhaul still moving lower de.Lot sites,still need it mostly gmos.

So if they kick up their macro cell deployment the rest of network vision will complete?

That was not what my post was talking about. I was talking about new deployments. That is different funding than the network vision project, which is largely complete.

The coverage map is showing the Rehoboth beach boardwalk site as having LTE and Band 41 installed now. Finally! 

 

Can anyone confirm, or is the map exaggerating coverage from the site further West? 

[shannonbrian]

Maybe . Cant confirm

[shannonbrian]

All trees bloom now lot dropping 3g and back to lte ,wish band 26 was little bettetr for coverage near mall in christana.
