We used to have two members from Torrington. I haven't heard from them in a long time. Hopefully someone will come along and provide you an update of how things are in your area. If things sound good, you considering jumping over a little early? Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

Which map are you looking at? The NV Sites Complete map only shows completed sites, not sites that are still waiting for Network Vision upgrades to be completed. If you go to the Network Vision Site Maps, they show all the sites in your market. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

It could be either or both. I've heard some rumblings about Samsung is starting several second round markets now, but I'm waiting for details before I announce anything. I guess its possible that they may be making a move on Seattle. Stay tuned. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

Another thought...have you tried several speed test servers on eHRPD? The 4G core's connection to the backbone will be completely different than the switch. So the ideal server for each is likely to be different. Because they will have completely different routes to the internet. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

Knowing if its happening on different channels is important to help figure this out. Thanks. Also, CDMA Field Test only gives you the BSID for the 1x carrier you are connected to. You can be connected to a completely different site for EVDO. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

Seems to me the most obvious possible answer is the site you are connected to. It seems unlikely that they would be repeatedly be disconnecting upgraded backhaul. If you go into your DEBUG menu, you can track which 1x and EVDO channels and sites you are connected to during both good and bad times. Then you will really know what you are connected to and when. I would be surprised if the EVDO channel and BSID are the same when you have good performance and bad performance. Robert

You would have most likely been connected to the one near the exit at I-985 and Mundy Mill Road then. Thanks! Robert

Which site is it in Oakwood? The one next I-985 or the one off Meeks Drive? Robert

WiMax sites that are really slow most likely have their carriers overburdened. Since Clearwire made the decision to go with LTE, they probably are not adding additional carriers at WiMax sites and just keeping them as is. You can call and complain, and it may help. Clearwire probably does have some additional carrier adds in it's contract with Ericsson, so your complaints may actually cause a ticket to be placed and a carrier added. However, if the problem is pretty uniform across the market, I doubt that Clearwire will add carriers all over. It may slowly improve as people upgrade their WiMax devices for LTE devices. Every month from here forward there will be less and less WiMax customers until it is shut down in 2015. The congestion that WiMax is receiving is in no way related to how the LTE network will perform. The LTE network is a ten year network, and WiMax is a dying network. Sprint and Clearwire have incentives to burn cash on their LTE networks, but not on WiMax. WiMax would still be running fine if Clearwire could spend the money for additional carriers (and possibly backhaul). Also, WiMax has a mature device ecosphere, with millions of devices out there. LTE will take years to build the same amount. Also, remember that Sprint shares WiMax with millions of Clear residential and business ISP customers who really suck down the bandwidth (more than 10x's the amount of smartphone users). This will not occur on Sprint's LTE network. The differences are night and day. Robert

It really doesn't mean anything. The network is in so much flux, where you get eHRPD and LTE today, doesn't mean anything for tomorrow. However, for a seamless handoff experience, the eHRPD should be on and stay on by the time LTE goes on for good. Robert

We wrote an article about this market in the past 30 days or so. Here is the link: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-275-norfolkvirginia-beach-network-visionlte-deployment-schedule-update/ The information has not changed since writing the article. Alcatel Lucent should be beginning some work in the market now. Robert

It's hard to tell anything from this vantage point. Need to be better zoomed in. What location is it at? What city/cross streets. Robert
