Not directly related to LTE, but just came across this in regards to HD Voice from Sprint.

Hi there.  New forum member, though I've been lurking for a few months and finally decided to sign up.

Anyways, driving home this afternoon I saw two vans, unmarked, at a site by the US-36 and Federal interchange.  I believe I had seen updates posted on the Sprint coverage map at this location before the LTE upgrades began.  Also, a few months earlier I had seen a crew boring towards the site, probably providing the ingress point for the fiber back haul.  My phone has been randomly picking up LTE at home and dropping it right away.  I can pick up LTE in LTE only mode, doing around 5mbps dl and 1 mbps ul with practically no signal.  I'll upload pics later.  It's exciting I can get that kind of data on very weak signal, I can stream Netflix.  Can't wait for full coverage.

Probably. With the recent clusters accepted and subsequent LTE activation, it looks like things are going to pick up quickly around the Denver metro area.

Good example is the toledo quiet before the storm and now all but one site is accepted in the city of toledo. So just wait, it will be worth it

I certainly hope so, the data coverage has been unbearable lately. Had some good bursts of LTE on the way to DIA the other day but inside the airport itself nothing but mediocre 3G which I was kind of suprised about. You'd think getting an LTE signal in the airport would be a priority/pretty easy compared to launching towers throughout the city.

By the end of April isn't impossible, but I wouldn't count on it. More likely to be sometime in May. But we can hope!

Another cluster of 20 sites accepted today!

According to this site www.cellularinsider.com/lirpa0114/jk  Sprint has announced the decision to move Denver's launch to 2015 siting "Denver already has too many things going for it.  When you considering the high standard of living, great geography and multiple professional sport franchises, we here at Sprint don't currently feel the Denver market wouldn't appreciate our Network enhancements nearly enough."

 

The Spokesperson goes on to say "Growing up in Cleveland and Kansas City, I felt it would be irresponsible for Sprint to launch LTE in Denver despite the majority of our sites being near completion."

Haha, I started giggling at "Denver already has too many things going for it".

The sites are real. It will be interesting to see how fast they to to 4Glte, or 4glte and 1x800 (for voice).. Don't know about you, but I'll be watching, waiting and hoping!

[jthawks]

i just got two hits on one of the 3g accepted sites in aurora. Oh 800.

Most of the sites I've seen have been live with 1x800 voice as soon as they are accepted for NV.

1x800 comes simultaneously with any 3G acceptance on any full build site.

Hey narf and jt. I didn't know that once the site was accepted that it automatically went to 1x800. That is exciting. Thanks
