It could be. Or it could be that it is close enough to another site to get a signal from there. Maybe it will show up on today's update? If you get over near that tower in the future, maybe you can connect and tell us your LTE signal strength from your LTE Engineering screen. That would help rule out whether you are connected to the new site or not. Thanks! Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

That's disgusting. But I laughed anyway. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

In our Premier Sponsor section we have the entire schedule, site by site in Puerto Rico. It shows the dates that new panels and RRU's install, the date 3G improvements are schedule to go live at each site and LTE. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

Our mods are fair. I remember the issue you are referring to. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

I have no confirmations so far in the market except for the site near Elkhart. It will be interesting to see if any FWA/SBN sites appear in the NV Sites Complete map update tomorrow or next Sunday. Robert

Definitely competitive. Robert

Not all sites are complete with physical work. Maybe 30% to 50%? According to the schedule, first LTE sites will start going live in November. Robert

I agree with this statement, we are far from a spectrum crisis. However, if American wireless companies have to build denser networks because we have unreasonable data habits (like refusing to offload even when it is convenient for us), then that will mean more cost for us. In Europe, they build denser networks because they have denser populations. If the United States is going to have to build the density of networks to serve less people per cell/sector, then we are going to have to pay for that luxury. Large scale WiFi offload at home adoption will push out the requirement to make networks denser farther out. Robert

Excellent report. Thanks for the info. I have never delved into the CSV files before for SpeedTest. It would be interesting to check out. You can email it to the same address you get email notifications from. I would type it here, but it would likely end up in spam bot. LTE is very signal strength dependent. So as you drove away from the sites, the speeds fell. We have three reported sites in the Sedalia area in our NV Sites Complete Map. So it will be interesting to see if your results line up with them, or if you maybe found a new site not on the completed list yet. Robert

That's my experience too. Robert

Attention S4GRU Members. We are not a corporation. We are an all-volunteer staff. I work a full time job and still run S4GRU for you. I do not have the time to get into disrespectful arguments. We have these threads for serious discussions and some fun side conversations. I had to ban a member based on a response that I had to remove. You guys cannot call out and argue with S4GRU Staff publicly (especially using foul language and violating our posting guidelines). If we allow that, it just causes complete chaos, and we will lose the ability to keep control of our forums. This is a contentious thread. And you all are welcome to disagree with the points laid out, by our members, Sponsors, Staff and even me. However, please be respectful of our all volunteer Staff. We probably will not put up with a whole lot directed at us. I received a few PM's from members thanking me for allowing this thread to continue and without censoring. And thanking me for allowing differing opinions than mine. And we will continue to allow that. However, it is never wise to start a war directly with the Admin (or calling the Admin an insult referring to male genitalia). It will not end well for your membership status. And I'm sorry to have to be that way. Please just give me (and our Staff) basic respect in your disagreeing responses. For the thousands of hours we have put into S4GRU for you all, we deserve at least that much. S4GRU is not a business. We are a member supported forum. Robert

They always look big on the ground. Way up in the air, not so much. Robert

My argument is not poor. You may want to use your unlimited data at home instead of offloading. And that's fine, explain to us why you think it is OK. But your disagreement does not make my argument poor. I would say your ability to judge the network burdens and impacts of people refusing to offload is poor. It really bothers me that after pages and pages of solid arguments you would go straight to just proclaiming my argument is poor. The bottom line is if you can offload with no noticeable impact in performance, why wouldn't you? Are you just not offloading to make a point? I also am amazed that someone who is not even a Sponsor won't give the Administrator of a site the most basic decorum of respect. Why would you in your first comment on a subject that you are late to, come right out and claim my argument to be poor? Why don't you just give your counter opinion without shooting across the Admin's bow? I'm tolerant of diverse opinions, but I'm not always tolerant of disrespect.

We will upgrade you for any size donation. We need on average $20-$25 per donator to pay our expenses. Some can afford more, some can afford less. We understand. Let your conscience and your budget be your guide. Thank you for considering a donation to S4GRU. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

I think in a lot of instances it could be a reduction of WiMax devices on the network because of LTE. But Sprint has sold only one million LTE devices as of last week. That's not even 10% of the number of WiMax devices out there. So it could be some of the impact. However, many people are now reporting WiMax speeds higher than ever. Even before WiMax was first deployed. That cannot be from LTE devices alone. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

You regret choosing Sprint? You're in an active LTE deployment area that is just beginning. What in the heck do you expect? Your posts have been great to date, but this one really surprises me. Did someone hack your account? Robert on Samsung Galaxy S-III via Tapatalk

I have been in Albuquerque almost all day. All my Verizon LTE speed tests have been lopsided with faster upload than download. Most have been 4-5Mbps DL. Never more than mid 7's. Weird. Robert on Samsung Galaxy S-III via Tapatalk
