moysauce Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 This coverage stretches down from Braintree Square Rte 37 to just before the Rehab hospital going towards Holbrook. Strongest in Braintree Square at 16 mbps down to 5 mbps down outside my parents house.. this tower upgrade unfortunately did not help indoor coverage inside my parent's place =\ Just got 16mbps down across from the Olympian diner in Braintree Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiphop Android Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I was in Leominster just on I190 near the mall at whitney field, i had 4g for about 1/4 of a mile then lost it.Speeds were not that good around 3mbps down 2 mbps up. Good sign of sprint testing for Fitchburg and Leominster though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den9696 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I was in needham today. LTE lit up on my phone. Mapped the one spot i had it on sensorly. Don't see a tower in the last update that i could have been connected too. Also i had it for 5 minutes then lost it. Did not move, was sitting in my car waiting for someone to get out of the supermarket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fever02 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Got some 4g LTE love today driving from Braintree toward Brockton. 128 to rt 24 around Harrison Blvd. Sporadic though with only 6gb download speeds. Got to Brockton but the signal disappeared. Kinda bummed about that. Hopefully they'll get that area hooked up soon. Try down town on legion parkway, the tower behind Harbor One is upgraded and the Wal-Mart on the Abington Brockton border is upgraded, I was there a week ago and saw the upgrade. You can also try crescent St. by Christos, Comcast, Massasoit college. I don’t have a LTE phone as yet, I’m holding out until they upgrade the South Side of town. I need that Note 2!! if you go over there let me know what speeds you are getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike014 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I would imagine work on the towers will be slowed these next few weeks, while sprint tries to fix damaged towers. I am really hoping we get LTE in Burlington sometime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightcrazy Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Not in my back yard. You shouldn't need these permits to upgrade existing towers. The fcc grants a license, it should be clear to proceed. This is what drives costs up for us all. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Sprint isn't showing their customers they really give a hell. Not showing up at a routine Council Meeting which is mandatory and Sprint knows this. They get rejected, all on Sprint. That is total crap and I am pissed off. I live in Waltham. Now we know why we get lousy Sprint coverage. This is probably happening everywhere if it happened in Waltham. Total Fail on Sprint. Thank God they got bought out.

You do not know all the circumstances,, you only know what someone said happen. You don't know why it happened. I am willing to bet my life that sprint is not walking around saying "let's screw our customers and just not do anything". People have infantile mentalities sometimes when they don't get what they want when they want it. Your lte will be on soon enough. They are not out to screw Waltham. There is a reason for everything and just because we don't know the reason why certain things happen does not mean it's automatically sprint doing something wrong.. 13 years with sprint and they have done nothing but good by me.

TheAndrewHawes Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 We need more peeps to scour the South Shore for more LTE goodness! i have been picking it up in spots of hanover along 58, spotty in whitman and east bridgewater along 18. Bridgewater has a strong signal all along 18 throughout the entire town 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Crawford Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Picked up LTE near Canton, MA today while riding the commuter rail into Boston on the Providence line. Signal went live right before the Canton MBTA station and stayed lit until a bit after. Was able to map one blip of it on Sensorly. Based on the sponsor maps, not sure where the LTE signal was coming from. I had not previously picked up LTE from either of the two existing towers in Norwood and Stoughton. I guess it is possible that the Canton tower marked as 3G complete is putting out an LTE test signal. Good news either way. Hopefully more LTE gets lit soon along the commuter rail lines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its pretty heavily advertised on the side of all the WiFi enabled coaches that the service on the commuter rail is provided by AT&T. I know they still won't allow you to use too much bandwidth though. Slow as molasses on the Lowell Line.

Andruw1031 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 MBTA WiFi is terrible unless the train has no one on it, 3G is usually quicker for basic stuff. Live in Hull, MA and get 4G randomly on occasion, from the Hingham tower I assume, but very rare. Beacon Hill now seems solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_ward Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Any one picking up any LTE in the lower pioneer valley(Springfield metro).

Looks like there's a new one in Holyoke as well. if yo check the sensorly maps you can get a good idea ofvthe coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahecht Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I got 4G at my work today for the first time (in Wilmington near exit 41 of I-93). 10up/10down. Someone who works half a mile south of me reported a 4G signal on XDA last Thursday, but I didn't see anything until today. I also finally applied the firmware update to my EVO LTE over the weekend, so I may be picking up a signal that the old radio firmware couldn't find. I wonder if BS54XC875 will show up as 4G in the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazza31 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I went to Lynn today for a soccer game and noticed that I had great LTE coverage it lasted most of the way home but lost it In Cambridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andruw1031 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Robert, I have been getting increasing 4G service in Hull, MA. Faster too. Yet I don't see any new towers on the map that would reach this far. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
