Coverage map updated from 7/23 to 8/21 this morning.  Nothing new in my area.  Please check your own areas.

Spark is getting closer and closer to me! Which means further and further away from Baltimore!

 

Also, the Sprint Zone app for iphone was updated yesterday. You can now report network issues via the app.

For my area Cecil county Maryland this map is a total scuttlebutt. If 5% is covered that would be alot. Sensorly is your friend punch in 21915 and expand to county wide.

Yeah...I live in Harford County. We have had rock solid LTE all over Bel Air for well over a year now. But drive north on 95 and nothing.

didnt notice anything different in my area, and we all know how bad sprint maps exaggerate the lte coverage. ..

Please someone tell Marcello Claure to upgrade presentation of coverage maps.

Picking up lte from Delaware if your at the state line. I will be driving up thru there Sunday working of course. Last week I noticed some earlier linking up in Delaware near the toll plaza.

Funny thing is we have had lte, bands 25 and 26 so I guess that would be spark, on the south side of town since May.  Still doesn't show on the map.

Spark brand includes band 41 also

Love how my area is covered in Spark yet B41 is unusable and B26 coverage is much worse than B25. Can't wait until the tweaking is done.

Let's not call it a lie. That's very harsh. It's more like, "So far from the truth, that it cannot be relied upon or believed in any fashion whatsoever."

 

Maybe make that an acronym? SFTTTICBRUOBIAFW.

 

Well, that's wonky. OK, how about 'not very representative of reality.' NVRR. As in never! NeVeRR!!!

 

Maybe lie isn't so bad after all?

I noticed that the Sprint coverage map is a little too optimistic compared to actual real world performance. Places that they state that are covered by LTE actually has no LTE signal in reality.

Sprint and AT&T LTE coverage maps are just plain awful and unrealistic. They way overstate LTE coverage. Tmo is OK if you just use the darkest two colors and ignore the light colors. VZW dark red is pretty accurate outdoors. But their lighter red (Extended LTE) is also overstative, even outdoors.

Do the maps reflect increased voice coverage from CDMA 800?

the lte maps might reflect the cdma 800  

[mrknowitall526]

the lte maps might reflect the cdma 800

Of course, because that makes a lot of sense!

 

I looked at the map of a friend's house who can hardly make a call without his Airave. It says "fair" voice coverage but LTE is "best". He definitely cannot get LTE there.

Changed it to scuttlebutt.

[dkyeager]

The one area that Sprint understates on these maps is "new" LTE coverage in unlaunched markets - both Columbus and Cincinnati have extensive LTE coverage which is not shown on these maps.  LTE is also being tuned and added in these markets.

You didn't need to change it. I was just making a joke.

Coverage Maps updated again 8/25/2014 FYI

[KD8JBF]

Looks like Columbus and Cincy are still lacking LTE Coverage on this update.

The Austin map is laughable. There are plenty of LTE holes even on highways in town/outdoors. Also interesting that my Nexus 5 isn't listed as a Spark device.

Yeah I noticed that as well, strange.
