The tower at 370 and Ft Crook has boxes!  Woot should cover my house.  Pictures tomorrow.

I'm new here.  This thread is quite helpful to me for the Omaha area.  But I have a question:

 

I have been a Sprint business customer with 4 - 5 lines for a long, long time.  After many, many months of promises by Sprint to bring in 4G/LTE service, I got real frustrated and almost moved some lines to Verizon over the last couple months.  Then a friend told me the Sprint LTE towers are starting to light up.  But the question in the back of my mind remains.  Do I still bail and go to the competition?

 

I have a couple phones I want to upgrade this week and need to add another line.  Do I start moving over to Verizon or upgrade with Sprint?  Other than price, why would I continue with Sprint?  Will Sprint ever catch up to the Verizon network across the country?

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

It's your money.  Sprint has been the cheapest most consistent and friendly cell company I've ever worked with.  I always felt cheated by Verizon.  Verizon is the biggest, unquestionably has the largest lte network based on coverage.  I live in Omaha.  Sprint has taken a while but it is coming now.  Towers are lit.  It isn't the WiMax fiasco of a few years ago.  I'm happy to stay with a company that is treating me well and not hiking my rates and hiding charges.  Just my .02.  If you "need" the speed and need it now than you probably are already on Verizon.  Based on what I've seen on these forums Sprints network vision is real.  It is the right way to fix their network and it is being put in place as we speak in Omaha.  Why pay more when Sprint will only get better?

I didn't go south of Chandler Road.  I assumed that it was the tower North of 25th and Chandler according to Sensorly.

That seems to make sense.  As others have said at times my phone reported max bars which is odd since sensorly seems to be able to report signal strength much better.  Anyway I'm still patiently waiting and am just happy to see something happening.  Waiting years for the next big thing has been painful.  I've enjoyed Sprints low prices though.

And now I have 4g in my home again!  good signal.  I can't wait for them to leave it on!

Bellevue here.  I got some hits in Sensorly and my phone connected 4g for brief periods of time:  Switched quickly and seemlessly back to 3g.  Can't get 4g signal now inside my home.  3g is fast enough to play youtube video without caching.

Call J.G. Wentworth, 877-DATA-NOW!!!

I want it all!  And I want it now!

Tower at I-75 & Q belongs to United States Cellular Corp per this page.

Thanks.  Too bad.

Sprint?  This was at 75 and L

Can anyone tell me if this is a sprint tower?  http://goo.gl/maps/oTgUO

It doesn't seem to line up with their maps at https://network.sprint.com/NE/Omaha/

I did see someone working on it though.

Just to add some more rumor to the fire: While upgrading to the HTC One I was having a conversation with a Sprint sales representative at an Omaha store. He said someone was recently in the store and claimed to be from out of town here to start construction on the towers. Otherwise he was pretty non-committal about anything happening soon. I lost my WiMax test tower access ( love the phone though ) so now I'm even more excited about LTE. Hopefully soon!

Three towers close to the base are all along my favorite summer biking route. Wondering what I should look for in upgrade equipment? Anyone know any companies that would be doing the upgrades or if equipment would be visible overnight? I could take some pictures if anyone is interested.

I'm so disappointed in my EVO LTE that it would be hard for me to say I will probably pick this up.

Can you detail your disappointment? I don't see much critical of the EVO LTE other than network doesn't exist.

If it comes with LTE 800/2600 support, considering it is a world phone thatis supposed to be one over 100 carriers in 80 countriesi, I will be selling my current EVO for that phone. The camera takes excellent low light photos without flash. Yet people are still hugging out about no removable battery and no SD card slot.

I'm one of those people. I want the One. The speakers are enough for me to sell my soul. There were 3 things shown this morning that made me say "I'd use that!". I can't wait to get my hands on it.

As I consider why I want an sd card slot I figure I can get a micro-usb thumb drive. I don't mind the 32/64G sizes I think either would be plenty for me. Just want to be able to get personal files off the device quickly.

I know why I want a removable battery. They wear out, freeze in cold weather, die, and just need to be replaced over time. Hopefully it isn't a huge task even if it isn't immediately available to remove. I don't mind voiding a warranty. I'll wait for some tear down guides to decide if I'm ok with this.

I just want this phone. Hoping I can keep myself happy with the limitations.

Just thought I'd share some speeds. This was taken around 730 tonight.

swingorstrikeout were you attempting to post a picture? Are you seeing lte in omaha?

Work should be beginning soon. In the next two months or so.

How do you know this? Was Omaha or Lincoln announced?
