wish I still had the screenshot from May 2012. I used 50 GB that month on WiMax. I worked a lot of Saturdays where I had nothing to do but watch Netflix.

B41 is already up. Not long at all. I'll take B41 any day!

It hardly has complete coverage. And it barely extends into the suburbs. Many locations you can't even connect due to eCSFB issues.

 

LTE has a long way to go.

Now that NV conversions are nearly complete in the Denver area (just the Boulder and West Greenwood clusters remaining), Triband device holders should start seeing a much better LTE experience as eCSFB starts going live. B41 will become more and more prevalent inside the perimeter and B25 fire ups will continue every few days as backhaul starts to get completed and fired up.

 

From here forward, every week or two it should be noticeably better and better around Denver.

Long time lurker! I saw this in the Denver Post and wanted to make you all aware: http://blogs.denverpost.com/techknowbytes/2014/06/30/sprint-4g-lte-denver-end-june-happening-sprint-mum-plans/13826/

 

"In March, Sprint’s general manager for Colorado told The Denver Post that the carrier would launch its long-delayed, high-speed 4G LTE network in Denver by the end of June.
 
That’s not happening. And it’s unclear when the official rollout will come. "

Yeah, they already announced the June launch cities. And Denver did not make the cut. They may launch in July or August. However, they did complete all the equipment installs in the Denver metro area (excluding DIA and the Boulder cluster). So the LTE equipment is there now at almost every site.

 

The ones where backhaul was ready, they have fired up LTE. About 1/3 of the city so far. So they are waiting on backhaul on the remaining 2/3. Once they get to the point where 40% are fired up, they will launch.

 

People with a Triband device will get LTE coverage now over 50% of the metro area. But they will not formally launch the market until uniband device holders have at least 40% coverage.

Moving forward from this on a national scale. Does Sprint stop selling uniband devices and only sell triband or do they stick with a mix for cost effective units for the customer?

 

I'm due for an upgrade now. I want a triband device with an extsd slot and removable battery. I've been reading up but wondered if any of you could weigh in. Especially any rootrd users. I want a highly developed handset thats easy to manage and root. Has to have extsd and removable battery or its a deal buster.

Basically the best Samsung you can afford would be best.

 

GS4, GS5, Note 3, Note 4.

Sprint is phasing out Uniband LTE devices.  All new releases since the end of 2013 are Triband only.  Other than SVLTE, it is better to be Triband.  Especially given that the Colorado market actively has all three bands available right now in many places.

    • I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.
    • Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.
    • Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless... 
    • I assume that any agreement is not perpetual and has an end date. - Trip
    • I think it is likely that T-Mobile will be forced to honor any existing US cellular roaming agreements in those areas as a condition of them taking over the spectrum.  In that case, there would be no improvement of service unless T-Mobile improves the service offering in those areas.
