    Denny's on a Sunday morning and LTE surfing. Ahh, it's the little things in life... Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    If Sprint doesn't meet your needs, then please go. We won't ask you to stay with Sprint, but we don't want to hear how much you prefer Verizon's 5GB limitations either. Your post comes off as a rant against Sprint, which is against our posting guidelines. I have VZW LTE also. A smartphone and a hotspot. You will not get 15-25Mbps everywhere you go, 24 hours a day. The speeds of the VZW LTE network have steadily dropped all across the board since last summer. I now can drop as low as 3-5Mbps in urban/suburban areas at peak times. 3-5Mbps meets my needs on Verizon, and I'm not complaining. However, I'm just pointing out that the days of super fast LTE everywhere and all the time on Verizon are over. It is now a more mature and well burdened network that offers a pretty inconsistent experience. Albeit even if the worst experiences are still usable. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    Yeah, I don't know what my problem is. I should find a way to make money at this. But I think I wouldn't enjoy it as much if I did. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    Absolutely. Never consider our In Progress as an exhaustive list. They are just little snapshots of data we receive. We probably only learn about 1/8 to 1/4 of all sites In Progress. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    I can verify that the Julian site had LTE accepted on Friday. But I am unable to verify the pie through our sources. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    Yes. GLANCE is an internal Sprint network tool. I disagree with your assessment on spotty coverage. Most people don't realize, but VZW didn't do a whole bunch of towers in a few weeks and brought them online all at once. They worked on them for months and months and would leave completed sites just sit there not being usable, sometimes for almost a year. I live next to a VZW site. They completed the install in February 2012. The site did not go live until December 2012. It sat for 10 months, waiting for the whole market. This may seem better to someone who doesn't know what's going on. But for me, it was painful. Sprint originally did the same thing as Verizon. But S4GRU lobbied and wrote articles pleading with Sprint to turn on and let us use sites as they are ready. You may think it's frustrating to not have instant wall to wall LTE coverage, but I say it's worse to block access to a LTE site that you could be using. Especially since the legacy network data is so poor. I'm glad Sprint changed their mind. We will take islands of awesomeness that grow every month, than to wait 6-12 months for it all to appear at once.

    Accepted means that Sprint is now in control of it. It typically means once it is activated, it is here to stay. However, in unlaunched markets, sites go on and offline all the time. The only place you could keep an eye on it is if you have access to GLANCE, or knows someone who does. The WiMax spots in the Lansing area were not official deployments, but rather Protection Sites. There will not really be any more coverage from additional sites via Network Vision. There are some minor coverage enhancements achieved on NV sites because improved radio performance. The big improvements come when voice and LTE are added in 800MHz. Voice services are being added on 800 now, and over the next 9 months or so. LTE on 800 will not begin in earnest for another 10-12 months. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    The site in South Lansing was accepted on Saturday from the OEM. The Brighton site is testing, not yet accepted. No sites in Saginaw have been accepted from the OEM to date. Three sites have been in the Midland area, though. It is common for Samsung sites to be off an hour when launched. This happened a lot in the Chicago and Indy sites. They will correct it soon.

    The site in North Ocala was accepted on Saturday. I'm updating the map now. Additionally, the Silver Springs site appears to be live now. I see a blip on Sensorly. You just must have missed it. Robert

    A second Joplin area site was accepted by Sprint on Saturday. It is in Carl Junction. I'm updating the maps right now. Robert

    The whole SW Florida market is being deployed. If there isn't a site In Progress in the Sarasota area right now, then there will be very soon. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD

    There is no answer to that question. The deployment is over the entire market. Not just one city. Each site is worked on the moment everything is ready. Looking at maps, it appears more like a shotgun approach. Each city is done when it is done. There are no meaningful averages. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    DOH! Posted the wrong link: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/517-nv-sites-complete/ Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    There have been 4 sites that went live in the Tri Cities Region this week alone. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    You're probably looking at the wrong map. This is the NV Sites Complete map: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/user/1-s4gru/ Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    The biggest hurdle with VoLTE is coverage, due to the fragility of the LTE airlink. Especially on a PCS network. If Sprint changed to VoLTE on its network tomorrow and could convert it all instantly and scrap CDMA, they would lose 40% of their voice coverage immediately. And you think indoor voice coverage is bad now? Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    What's your question? Those are statements. Is your question why, my answer is...I don't know. The In Progress site in Ocala was on a site dispatch report. Which means it is ready to start. As for the Silver Springs site, it was accepted as complete. I cannot even begin to speculate why Sprint sits on accepted sites. But it seems to be happening more often the past few weeks.

    VX is a great airline experience. Not so great for making money. Virgin first class experience is second to none for domestic service. My big complaint on flying American MD 88's is the first class experience. Coach is 2+3, which is nice. But in first class they still squeeze in 2+2. The first class cabins in the M88's are so dated and the experience blah. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    There are NV sites complete in Laguna Niguel. One of them has LTE accepted. The location is shown in the Sponsor NV Sites Complete map. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk
