    Fastest VZW speed I've ever seen in New Mexico is 29Mbps. I don't think our backhaul here is as fast as in other markets. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    That's the beauty of Sensorly. It just runs in the background and you don't need to do anything with it. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    I haven't heard yet. I assume so. I'd love details. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    The FCC won't care about the financials and how much the capitalists make. Only the competitive nature of the deal. This will result in a benefit to consumers. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    In talking with one of the Ericsson techs here, he said a lot of the time the RRU's and panels go up even before the electrical work is done at the base cabinets. And then the cabinets have to be configured, set and provisioned. RRU/panel install is just one step along the way. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    I laugh when people proclaim VZW LTE and 20-40Mbps speeds. I never see that anymore. I only see speeds above 15Mbps on rural sites after midnight. In Wichita Falls, Sprint LTE met or exceeded VZW LTE in all my testing. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    I just got word from a source that Ericsson was able to get a site in Safety Harbor (9th Ave N) and one on the South Side of Clearwater (US 19/Auburn) signed off as complete yesterday. Robert

    Wireless carriers are going to have to increase site density even further if they are going to try to get uniform speeds all over their coverage. And they are addressing that to some extent with small cell development. However, even weak LTE signals outperform EVDO. So I'm not sure I share your concern. I would love some weak LTE in the areas I go now with poor EVDO performance. And fortunately Sprint already has pretty high site density in most markets, so LTE signal strength should be pretty good. Most Sprint site spacing in suburban and urban locations is much better than what the max LTE 1900 can handle. But there are a few markets that will suffer in the initial LTE 1900 deployment. Like Baton Rouge. However, the LTE 800 overlay that occurs next year can handle farther spacing that LTE 1900. And surely what is lacking can be shored up with small cells. No doubt that Sprint LTE will be a vast improvement over the current network. And with all the plans in the short and mid term, and with what Softbank will do in the long term, this is really a non issue in my opinion. Robert

    In my observations with HSPA+ in Wichita Falls side by side with Sprint LTE, it seemed to degrade the same as LTE. LTE 1900 and Tmo AWS WCDMA degraded about the same from the same locations, in both signal strength and performance. However, this was not with 20-40MHz channels, of course. Robert

    This response was probably in progress when I typed my warning above. This is now the end of this subject on this thread. Robert via Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    For you jackasses who love to waste resources, please post about your wastefulness and abuses in the appropriate thread. You aren't happy enough to waste Sprint resources, but you have to waste ours too. I'm sick of this topic and our moderators will no longer allow it to take other threads off topic too.

    I add it and remove it right from my phone using the Sprint website. Quick and painless. Robert via Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    I used Amazon Wireless for my E4GT purchase and had no problems adding the device on to my existing plan. No plan change was necessary. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    Having a small tethering data allotment of less than 1 GB per month would be an elegant solution for Sprint to include in plans. However, adding a hotspot as needed and taking it off when done is a very cheap option I employ every so often. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    It's been on the Sponsor maps and Sensorly for about three weeks now. Shentel is now working up in that portion of their coverage now too. Robert via Nexus 7 on Tapatalk

    And the press releases are more informative than what Verizon did. First Verizon said, we are working on these 30+ NFL cities. And then it said, these are the cities that will get LTE in the next year. That was it. Then they would announce each city in a press release after the work was done. Robert via Nexus 7 on Tapatalk

    I have had this issue occur before long before Network Vision started. This is not a known NV problem. Robert via Nexus 7 on Tapatalk
  19. S4GRU
    The Verizon workers you see are probably from the landline division. Sprint employees do not install Network Vision/LTE improvements. They are handled by subcontractors. Robert via Nexus 7 on Tapatalk

    Internally, Sprint refers to backhaul in the following categories: T1, microwave, direct fiber and Ethernet. Ethernet uses a direct internet connection from a provider as backhaul. Whereas the other types use a direct connection to the MSC and/or cores. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

    People are seeing LTE all over the place. Sensorly's coverages are accurate. It is provided by you and me and other Sprint LTE customers. It is automatically sent by their devices when logged into Sensorly. And the coverages are appearing at completed sites on our Sponsor maps. If you cannot connect to LTE in these places then it is your device. Do you have the device in LTE mode? Have you installed any custom ROM's? Are you running the newest Jelly Bean OTA? You may even have a device with faulty LTE radio. Wouldn't be the first time. However, I assure you there are a dozen LTE sites live in the Norfolk market and more are going live every week.

    No. They are working in the entire market. Up to The Villages and Palm Coast to the north, down to Port St. Lucie and Stuart in the south and over to Lakeland to the West, including the Orlando, Daytona and Melbourne/Palm Bay areas. They are not focusing on WiMax areas first. Most of the sites live now are not in WiMax coverage areas. Where WiMax is currently has no bearing on the sites that complete every week.

    With EVDO, it's the latter explanation you cite. All ultra high speed wireless technology (LTE, WiMax and HSPA+) have more fragile air links. Trying to make data faster and faster has disadvantages. As for LTE capacity, it is gonna get used and it is going to fill the one PCS LTE carrier in most areas. Fortunately, Sprint already is planning to start rolling out additional PCS LTE carrier, SMR LTE carriers and TD-LTE carriers to keep LTE capacity up. In fact, Sprint has more options to keep their LTE network more robust than other carriers in America. SoftBank will not allow the Sprint network to managed the way that caused 3G to get overwhelmed.
