The 4G around town, i get 3-10MB down. My contract was up in October and well that's when NV was announced for my City. I thought personally, by now. My in home coverage would have changed, I usually get 2 bars lucky if I get 3. The 3G, I used to get like 10-120 KB/s down inside. Sometimes I pick up 4G and sometimes I don't. I used to get it more then i do now.

Hoping within a couple months, something will change.. Lately I've been roaming when I have my airave on. Never had that happen lol. But oh well, I still love sprint lol. EVERYWHERE and i MEAN everywhere, there is 4G now <3. ty

That's excellent for Legacy systems.

Before they came into my area i hardly ever saw anything over .25mbps.

I also live in Fort Wayne and my service has greatly improved too! I get similar 4G speeds and my 3G speeds are about .4 -- .8 Mbps. I was going to leave sprint when my contract is up this May, but now with network vision almost done (at least in the city) the coverage and speed rivals verizion!!!

I wish I cab say the same. Everything is all 3g accepted not in my town though. Sprint keeps adding T-1s to the legacy system I mean yea it helps but I can see my tower and its 1/4 mile and im at 1-4 bars. im due for an upgrade since January.

I hope things get better for you soon. Before NV in Fort Wayne, My speeds were so bad I couldn't steam Pandora with 5 bars. I have also been surprised about how actual coverage has improved too. I am able to get a decent LTE link and a perfect 3G connection where I previously roamed.

Me too. Just another reason why CT is a horrible state it slows down this hole process.

I sell phones at Best Buy and its great to show sprint customers my sprint note 2 and show everyone a speed test. I have been with sprint for over 10 year and I am loving life. Just went on a couple of road trips to South Bend and Indy almost LTE on both HWY 30 and I69. To everyone NV is well worth the wait, we in northern IN and the whole IPCS affiliate its been a log wait.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
