[Dkoellerwx]

Fond du Lac, WI now has LTE available. As does Steven's Point, WI. Maps updated to reflect new Sensorly points.

 

Homosassa Springs, FL has been moved to the Pre-Launch group.

 

Faribault, MN has been moved to the Pre-Launch group.

 

Albert Lea and Owatonna, MN has LTE Available.

Quincy is Ericsson, so they might be doing that soon along with the Missouri market. Even though it's in Central Illinois, it connects to the St. Louis MSC.

I was given a rough estimate of when the Rushville site will be on air with 4G...end of May. If that happens remains to be seen. They do have an easier time with that particular site as it already has fiber. Fiber (Cass Comm) was run to the Industry, Rushville, Frederick, Beardstown, Virginia, and Pleasant Plains towers when they were installed in 08-09.

It will get there eventually. I wouldn't be surprised to see LTE appearing in the next month or so in the central IL market. Once they start It seems like the first month or two goes kind of slow but after that things really move. I hope Sprint adds more coverage with them taking over the USCC PCS in the area. I doubt it will happen but one can always wish.

Well I certainly hope you're right

Just FYI

 

Orange Country California (Irvine, Lake Forest area) has been having an LTE signal turning on and off for weeks now. Hope they get it up and running soon.

 

Rancho Santa Margarita (where I live) has been having a steady LTE signal, just not over a wide area.

Orange county, San Bernardino, and San Diego have been marked on the map for quite some time as having LTE available.

I just wish it was reliable. I know they're probablly still tweaking things, but that LTE signal in Irvine is hardly usable.

Until the market is launched, there's not much that can be done. Signals will come and go as testing and adjustments are done. Even after launched, the market will not be complete and work will continue. It will likely be several more months before LTE signals start to stabilize and become usable over a widespread region.

Update.

 

Added Corpus Christi, TX as LTE Available!

Central Illinois market is officially under way now. First three sites accepted yesterday. Sites are shown in the Sponsor NV Sites Complete map.

Surprised they have gotten anything done with all this rain. Glad to hear it is underway and I hope this improves the signal which seems to have dropped off according to the coverage maps. I have experienced it with my phone but as I posted elsewhere the radio isn't working right.

Bloomington/Normal is still garbage. Coming in to town on Veterans Parkway has things die once you get past Menards/Home Depot.

It'll likely get worse before I gets better. But now Samsung has started.

Amen to that, bloomington/normal is pretty much a huge dead zone... I basically get timeouts and dns errors everywhere in town.

Bad deal when it is impossible sometimes to even get a text message out. If you are leaving town (heading north on Veterans Parkway) - the data speeds are awesome once you get past Furniture Row/Menards. I have actually sat in the Menards parking lot and got 600-800kb down with my phone still hanging on to the tower in Lexington. As soon as I get out of the parking lot (before I cross Ft Jesse,) it grabs some tower in Blono that I am assuming is majorly overloaded.

 

Even farther north - near Chenoa - still on 3g, I have seen 1mb down!

 

Also saw that the tower that is nearest me (CH03IP807) is OEM'ed Samsung. I am about 6-7 miles away - will be interesting to see if/when they light up LTE here if I can get that near my house!

Hopefully NV helps with the congestion issue, right now unless its like 3 am data is completely useless. I was actually in the Sprint store next to Fresh Market this afternoon and even there the display phones timed out loading a simple page... I'll be so glad when LTE is rolled out.

Should there not be? Sprint lists the location as "Daytona Beach-Deltona-Ormond Beach," so I split it into three pins so you can see all the communities they are listing.

I suppose, among Network Vision markets, this makes Denver almost the last dinosaur.
