I was browsing around the sprint forum about lte in columbus ohio, and the very last comment stated that we will have it in the city by the end of Q3 of 2013. Can anyone really confirm or even vouch for that because it sounds kinda sketchy? also the post even said that the crews are mostly working at night because it is less people on the network... I highly doubt that they would have people working on them towers at night but I guess you never know.

After looking at the permits on cell sites around columbus the tower that I had in question that was not to far from my house was indeed a sprint tower and its permit was pulled in February but based on what all needs to be done such as the removal of the two cabinets, no work has started just yet on it.

Any updates on the Columbus Ohio area?

Here is the pic of the tower in question. Sorry for image on the side

Quick question. There is a tower by my house and I'm not sure if its a sprint tower but whenever I'm near it when I'm driving I got execellent service. But anyways I was driving past the tower and I noticed that the white panels at the very top some of them were missing. Is this the process that sprint does if in fact this is their tower and the removal of some of white panels are part of the building of NV?

It seems like my service is coming back around as normal or maybe I'm just seeing things. Normally if I'm on spotify I can stream without stopping and I would say about since 2pm today I've been able to do that now

The Chicago area has lte but there seems to be issues with the network even after but its just things that sprint needs to tweak and fixed. Based on what is going on there with their services such as the calls and texts while building out the NV. It is possible that we could be in the process of a NV buildout possibly.

I love sprint to the fullest but honestly this is outrage or whatever is starting to becoming very irritating specially for it to be going on for a week now. Sprint has always had network issues and I've stuck by them but sometimes I think I'm at the breaking point and ready to switch carriers. When I'm out and about and I want to post something to Instagram I can't cause of the network. Idk I was thinking and I had a thought of why didn't sprint just go with lte from the beginning? Why WiMAX? They were ahead in the 4g race but now they are falling last and tryna play catch up. If they would have went the lte route from jump yea there would of still been issues but they would of found solutions to build out quicker over time. Tmobile looks kinda good right now they have good coverage for all the places and states i visit. plus I dont see myself going to verizon or AT&T cause my friends who do have them pay wayyyy too much a month which I think is crazy. but I wanna stay with the underdogs for that triumphant victory but its hard. Someone please motivate me to stay or is there any type of updates that anyone knows of? Also as I type this my iPhone just said it couldn't activate cellular network out of the blue.

Are there any updates from anyone? My data has been on 1x for the majority of the day.

Hey everyone I don't know if anyone has seen or posted anything about this but Columbus is now on the list for rollouts from December 2012 - May 2013. So my guess would be that all of the network issues we are having is because work has officially began here!! Here's the link if anyone wants to take a look at it. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/

I to have experienced some issues with the network since Sunday but its been off and on mostly with calling. I would be able to accept and make calls but the problem would be I am able to hear the other person but they can't hear me. After reading some of the new posts I seriously hope this is sprint working on the network vision here. I have a good feeling about this!!!!!!

I was looking on my sensory app and saw there was a little blotch on the map kinda around the Arkon area but its is grayish. But there is also that same color in Virginia for LTE. Could someone please confirm that the little blotch I am seeing is the start of LTE in ohio or is it something else. Also I even zoomed in on it and it never disappeared.

I also have seen a 3g speed increase. I live on the south side of columbus and both my galaxy note 2 and my iphone 5 have been more pleasant to use. I pull almost 1meg. Also when Im at school at osu I exceed 1meg. Sprint has really started its NV work here based on what Ive seen so work is underway I suppose.

Im picking up the ehrpd on the south side of columbus but the funny thing is my note 2 is showing it but my Iphone 5 is not. Oh well im just glad to see some type of change happening even if its small!!
