Sprint is sending users from the community forum to here! I was reading the forum, as I do from time to time for laughs, and saw a few of the mods directing users here from information on 4G rollouts. Here is one I saw:

Hello crazyhector5,

Thank you for your post. We are working very hard on rolling out our LTE network in the same footprint as 3G. New Jersey is on the list of upcoming cites and should be launched soon. Although we don't have an exact date you can stay updated at http://Sprint.com/LTE.

You may also check out: http://s4gru.com/ - However please note this site is not officially endorsed by Sprint but does give some further information.

Thank you,

Chris

Oh, great, a member named "crazyhector5." Just what S4GRU needs. More crazies. To quote Jack Nicholson, "Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here."

I am flattered. However, the general decorum of the average Sprint Community poster will not be accepted here. Moderators...get out the whips!

Independent and not subject to any sort of pressure from Sprint would be ideal.

 

Oh, I very much agree. As long as they only continue to deliver us just tower upgrades, then we will continue to stay independent.

For the record, Sprint has not reached out to me. But if they wanted to make a sizable donation to our PayPal account, I wouldn't object. ;)

When I saw the title of this thread, I could just imagine Robert with his head in his hands saying to himself, "Oh great, this is just what I need." Now to educate all the newcomers on how this site works and all things NV, instill patience in people that want instant gratification, and appreciation for what we already have and what is in the works, all while encouraging Sprint to bring their A game. It's a tall order but you're doing a great job.

S4GRU is mentioned in many other forums.

 

I hope that it doesn't get flooded with Sprint's prepaid or MVNO customers wanting to know why they are not getting unlimited non-throttled data for 25.00 a month, why can't they roam, or that their ZTE Chaser isn't working.

 

I use Virgins service for a couple of lines and it's a great bargain but topics like I mentioned need not be brought here.

As an ex-advocate in the Sprint forums, (i say ex since the group was basically disbanded) I can say that I was one of those that would send folks over here from there on numerous occasions, knowing full well that in the eyes of Sprint they really do not condone s4gru. Sprint has done a fairly poor job of informing their customers of the network vision deployment and what little they do have or give out, usually is not up to date or accurate. Regardless, any member joining this one will have to adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the owner and the staff. Not doing so will result in the person going on a nice fully paid trip to Banlandia.

I think we should have a quote of the week from the Sprint Community Forums as comic relief from this crazy year. Some of the topics on those forums are absolutely hilarious. Hope they don't bring this site down too much otherwise a larger army will be needed!

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
