tbs123456 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Duluth still has a ways to go. The 3g seems to be a little better though. Like a constant ~1meg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbs123456 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Some. Wasn't very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mntatonka Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Still waiting in Winona. I'm less than half a mile from the nearest tower, and can almost manage 0.1Mbps down on 3G. 0.1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgrinde15 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Looks like the north metro is starting to see Spark. Some towers lit up around the Blaine/Anoka/Coon Rapids area in the past few days. Edited September 26, 2014 by cgrinde15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlejth Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yup, we're keeping track of the rollout in the premier section! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mntatonka Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Ugh, if it weren't for my crazy cheap plan, I would have left Sprint a LONG time ago. Here's the reply today regarding the updates in the Winona area: "In regards to the upgrades, they are scheduled to begin within the next 6 months" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmanracing24 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 For me, I enjoy anticipating new things. I order something from Amazon, I'm love the excitement leading up to it arriving. Tracking it on UPS's website adds to it. Then once it comes, it's almost like the wait was more exciting. That's how I'm handling it now. Yes, waiting is frustrating especially since Sprint said Winona was "coming soon" February of 2013. Also since nearly everywhere else in Minnesota/the MN market has LTE of some sort. I like following the site acceptances, keeping the premier sponsor thread going, visiting local sites and seeing work being done, collecting GCI's etc. It's fun. Once Winona gets LTE, the wait will be over, GCI's and PCI's collected, then the fun is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmanracing24 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I suppose that's a fair argument. I usually take scheduling and what I hear on when sites will be completed with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgrinde15 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Anyone know if something is going on in the north metro (Coon Rapids, Anoka area)? It seems like all of a sudden most of the towers lost B41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnjeepmale Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Voice Calls Are Cutting Out - Minneapolis MarketI have noticed on several phones that when on a voice call that it cuts out almost like it's choppy and I have to ask the other caller to repeat what they said as I may not pickup a word or two. This is happening in several area's in my metropolitan area. Phones I have used are Samsung S3 & S5. Anyone else experiencing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThorson Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Is the other person on Sprint or a different carrier? I know if it's with different carrier, especially Verizon and AT&T they have horrible voice and always sounds tinny and keeps breaking up.

gusherb Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Where are you? My worst calls are between Sprint and T-Mobile, it always sounds very muffled but calling T-Mo from other carriers and landline sounds excellent. But in general I only ever notice some short garbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnys8913 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Iv'e never had a bad call quality with Sprint in all the years I have been with them, (even before "Power Vision")!! Big red Vzw is terrible, I never had a good call when I used a friend's phone. At&t I just had dropped call issues lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnjeepmale Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm in Minneapolis. I have noticed this more over the past few months. It's usually on calls to landlines or other cell carrier's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is happening in several area's in my metropolitan area. Phones I have used are Samsung S3 & S5. Anyone else experiencing this? Calling from Upstate NY Central market to my gf in Philadelphia, I notice this. We both have great signal in our areas when we talk, but for some reason her voice just drops a word every 20-30 seconds it seems. It almost sounds like it's "clipping" due to over-volume. I know exactly what you're talking about. In our case, it's an iPhone 5C to an iPhone 6. Don't think it's the phones though, probably just the codec.

blakebaa Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Has anyone been noticing any work being done? I am in Willmar, and nothing has changed for nearly a year. Still waiting for 1 tower to get upgrades yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frecklenutz Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The Alexandria area seems to be going backwards lately. I keep jumping from tower to tower but I'm seeing 800Mhz so that's a plus. I hope it changes soon because it's getting harder to convince my friends that sprint is improving their network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
