    Please do not post poor speed tests. Zero always looks like zero. Yes, the legacy network sucks. We all know. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    It is a former Nextel iDEN site that Sprint has converted to CDMA/Network Vision since shutting down the old Nextel network. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    As far as I know, there are no current Virgin Mobile devices that support Band 41. But should they release one, I would assume it would. However, there are rumors now that Sprint may jettison the Virgin brand. So there may never be a Virgin Band 41 capable device. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    To echo Ben's point, it was said a few months ago that all 2014 Sprint devices would be Triband, except the iPhone. They said that they are not able to comment on Apple's plans for devices in 2014. Which is to be taken as neither confirmation nor denial. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    Yes, and VZW and AT&T have very few 100% complete markets (every single site) either. So you're quite right to be dubious. But I find your belligerence about it all a little much. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    It is fathomable with Bakersfield being a Samsung market that all the sites will be brought online in one cluster with 3G upgrades. It is also fathomable that all Bakersfield sites that have had their backhaul upgraded also could have their LTE brought online with the 3G clusters. However, I don't think it is possible that every site in Bakersfield will have LTE turn on in one cluster. That has never happened before in the entirety of the whole history of Network Vision. So it's pretty safe we can rule that much out. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

The South Florida CDMA 800 sites were actually accepted back in the early Fall, but I just received the info recently. These were probably a part of a test. The spacing of the sites in the Palm Beach area definitely looks like it was a test. Robert Links: Comments regarding this thread, NV Sites Complete Map

    They have to go LTE. Sprint cannot go it alone in the world with EVDO-B. They would eventually just have to refarm it back to LTE one day, anyway. Make the move to LTE now, and supplement coverage with lower frequency LTE. Robert

    Understood. Robert

    This will not become the thread where everyone reports their slow LTE speeds. Stay on topic. Robert

    Fine...you're pissed. However, that was 5 years ago. It's done. Obviously I don't support selling the spectrum. More than likely, Sprint would deploy their 5MHz carrier on Band 26 in your area before they installed a second carrier anyway. Sprint will not be deploying a second PCS carrier anywhere until all the sites have at least one. Too few sites carrying too much burden now. Robert

    It all depends what is negotiated in the purchase agreement. There is no requirement for break up conditions. It's just something that companies will come up with to protect themselves should one party or the other decide to cancel. It prevents a company from pretending to buy a competitor and then backing out just to cause them harm or get a temporary competitive advantage. Robert

    CDMA 800 is on many sites, and more are being added every few weeks. LTE on 800 will begin deployment in a few weeks. But it will probably take up to 6 months for coverage to be pretty prevalent. Robert

    I'm OK. Just take the rest of the conversation private. Robert

    Sprint site spacing is so atrocious in Grand Rapids. They inherited the network there from iPCS. It will take a Triband LTE phone to get usable service in this market, in my opinion. If you stay with the Note 2, you will always have a subpar experience there. Being able to use CDMA on 800MHz now and LTE on 800MHz soon is the only chance for sanity in a market like Grand Rapids. You need to switch to Triband or find another provider. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    I would love for you to have an analysis thread with a daily update, if possible. I think many of us would like to see that and follow along. Robert via Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    They are indeed upgrades. They didn't mention LTE. However, I do believe this is a desperate move to try to keep subscribers. I think the progress in the next 30 days will not be much better than the past 30. I hope to be wrong though. Robert via Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    I think these messages are just talking about Network Vision upgrades. I don't think it's about LTE specifically. It's just a message to give hope for these millions considering leaving for Tmo. Robert via Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Sprint can deploy CDMA and LTE 800 in all of Florida except for 11 South Florida counties. Sprint was saying in their petition that they could deploy CDMA BC10 now but not Band 26 LTE unless the FCC allowed them to. The FCC accepted their petition and is allowing them to deploy Band 26 in Florida except in the 11 county exclusion area. And Ericsson appears to be scheduling Band 26 now in their latest schedules.

    In Band 25/26, Sprint will be using 5MHz FDD channels which max out at 37.5Mbps. In Band 41 they are using 20MHz TDD channels which max out around 100Mbps. Robert via Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    If you don't have the new spark capable GS4-T that came out in the past few weeks, you will not be getting Band 41 LTE with your GS4. You would only be capable of Band 25 LTE. We have maps in the Premier Sponsor section that show Band 41 LTE deployment. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    It will not penetrate stucco better. But it will penetrate the roof and windows better resulting in much improved reception. The larger the wavelength, the harder it is to get through the stucco Faraday cage. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro
