joshuam Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcltoys Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuam Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 For my area Cecil county Maryland this map is a total lie. If 5% is covered that would be alot. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Please someone tell Marcello Claure to upgrade presentation of coverage maps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4icg Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyz24 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 didnt notice anything different in my area, and we all know how bad sprint maps exaggerate the lte coverage. .. 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.

BlueAngel Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited August 23, 2014 by BlueAngel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensorly is your friend punch in 21915 and expand to county wide. 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?

chunkyrice Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

mrknowitall526 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Do the maps reflect increased voice coverage from CDMA 800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrknowitall526 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 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.

dkyeager Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Changed it to scuttlebutt. You didn't need to change it. I was just making a joke. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD8JBF Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Looks like Columbus and Cincy are still lacking LTE Coverage on this update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
