Thanks for the tip!! 

 

I saw a tower behind Costco and went ahead and took pictures of it.

NV equipment is up there. I think there's another sprint tower on Hammer Ln and Pacific.

 

Maybe Stockton will get a nice Christmas present from Sprint

2 more sites in Stockton with NV equipment:

This one is passing the Caterpillar dealership on Charter Way

And this one on 99 exiting Cherokee Rd on Newton Road by the Bobcat dealership

Only a matter time for Stockton to go live..

On my way to work and I saw a crane and workers around the crane and tower.

This was at the tower on 99 frontage Rd by Raleys in stockton/morada

How is Midtown Sac looking with 4G, are there any 4G bands available down here yet? Thinking about upgrading to the Nexus 5 or LG G2, can't decide with but both are tri-band devices.

There is work going on for sure in Downtown especially around the capitol and north side. Lots of expedited work and equipment being installed within the past few weeks along with service disruptions. Other than that I believe Band 41 (TD-LTE / Spark) is up but my Nexus 5 has not been able to snag a signal so far in the 30+ clearwire sites i've visited. Might actually require a firmware update from LG / Sprint to enable B41. 

 

Other than that, work has been going on throughout the summer in the entire sacramento region as we can all see and they've only began recently targeting the City of Sacramento areas. Due to eCSFB gap issues (here : http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-357-nexus-5-and-lg-g2-experience-temporary-sprint-lte-connectivity-issues-due-to-circuit-switched-fallback-technology/) Samsung has been focusing on converting as many sites as possible and will be bringing up sites in clusters instead of individuals one when one is ready.

Okay, hope it soon. I know on the Sprint site for the Nexus anyway is says Sprint Spark available with future firmware update. Hope it happens soon in the area, I live and work off N street so it would be great. I think I will get my hands on a Nexus then, was just hoping to get band 41 as I decided to wait for the tri-bands over the HTC One.

Talk to the one of the guy that was working on the tower on Friday he said they were trying to get it done but maybe they will have to come back Monday I didn't see no one working on it today so that means there done I only saw them working on the tower for like 3 or 4 days they said it takes about a month for sprint to test it and then they turn the switch on hopefully by January they light up Modesto throughout Lodi

Don't forget to post it in the sponsors area UCV thread & the Report Sites in progress thread to mark it on the NV sites map.

Noted the best speeds I've seen on sprint around here. Was driving past the tower off 99 @ morada lane and noticed that the crane is gone already and speeds tested at 2.15M down and 1 M up, but only for a short distance. 

[Mechachu]

These guys work even in the pouring rain... They draped tarps over everything and were working under them earlier

[WeRtechSupport]

Speeds around Lodi (except the west side) are waaay better than recent months. 1-3 down 1 up. 

I don't feel bad about paying for that data add-on anymore

I actually picked up LTE in south sacramento, by Mack Rd and Franklin. I have seen crews installing new antennas off of i5 and Meadowview. :-)

My dad's gf and son (running off the Lockeford tower as well but live at a different address) have noticed increased signal and speed... Yet I haven't, even at their house <.<... So... Does this mean my phone has been borked the entire time!? >.<

[ShoaibK]
