Is there a map that shows Spark towers completed?
-
any idea what the timeframe of 'rebanding' is?

I can't wait for LTE 800! As I understand it, I am not in the IBEZ, BUT Sprint hasn't rolled out any 800 mhz towers in San Bernardino County yet ... and according to a recent conversation with Sprint, there are no plans to roll out 800 megahertz within the next 6 months

I have the Galaxy Note 3 released barely a year ago - is it not Spark enabled? Have they even turned on Spark in the Inland Empire? To me the problem seems to be backhaul, not spectrum / bandwidth - which Spark wouldn't resolve. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like original LTE's (1900 mhz?) distance is so limited in the IE, that that is the reason I am often not on LTE. So in order for Spark to benefit me, wouldn't they have to install more towers? Also, part of the problem seems to be building penetration - another area where Spark wouldn't help. For example, I get virtually no service in any of the restaraunts on Hospitality Lane, but slow service in the parking lots ... am I wrong on any of this?

Help needed with 3 Inland Empire Questions: My 2 year contract is about up, and I would like some help as I would like to stay with Sprint. According to maps, the Inland Empire is almost completely covered in LTE now, BUT most of the time I only connect to 3g, and when I do connect to LTE, it is super slow: less than 200 kbs recently (even in downtown LA next to the Staples Center Thursday night). Can anyone 'in the know' explain why 1. I am not connecting to 4g the majority of time, and 2. with Network Vision mostly completed and some 3g traffic migrating to 4g, why is 3g still so slow? I just reviewed the latest Rootmetrics reports for Riverside (which includes greater San Bernardino area), and the median download speed for another carrier in the IE is 21.6 mb/s! I would be happy with consistent speeds of 500+ kb/s! 3. Can anyone 'in the know' disclose when higher consistent download speeds might be expected?

I travel the I10 area of San Bernardino regularly. Most of the towers in the area have been converted to 4G, and the remaining towers have upgraded 3G. I thought for sure I would notice an overall data speed increase, but unfortunately the 4G is still weak enough that most of the time it's signal is below -110 - rendering the 4G useless, and the 3G speed is still slow - despite the fact I often get a strong signal. Can any of you 'in the know' explain this, and share when I might actually start experiencing faster overall speeds? Also, any idea when 800 mhz is coming? Thanks
-
anyone have any idea when 800 MHz will start rolling out to San Bernardino county, and to what extent?
-
just curious - why can't you compare speed to speed? from my perspective, i don't really care how you get there ...
-
could I get a copy of that email?

I live in an area where 4g lte has been turned on for nearby previously 3g accepted towers for several months now, however, I find my phone to still connects to 3g the majority of time. I would be fine with the 3g connection if it were consistently 0.5mb/s and above, BUT 3g speeds have NOT improved since 4g lte. I find most of the time my 3g connection runs less than 160kb/s. I thought once 4g came online, 3g speeds would improve. Why hasn't it, and should I ever expect it to improve? Please forgive me if I this has already been answered (I'm sure it has, but I couldn't find it with the search terms "3g faster 4g"). Thanks

SB73XC147 in Highland on Pacific St. is LTE for sure, so color needs to be updated on map ;-)
-
I was wondering if anyone would notice ...
-
It looks like there may be a new LTE tower in Yucaipa at Yucaipa Blvd and 5th ... can anyone confirm that?
-
FancyyFootwork, SeroFred, runagun, UNLISTEDCREW, et al - please stop getting butt hurt and replying over stupid posts - it's the internet - someone always gets butt hurt. Replying just cheapens this topic, as no one wants to read about why you got butt hurt or if someone has poor grammar. We just want to read about how the San Bernardino and Riverside markets are getting updated ... so please - just stick to the topic and ignore the static ... please ....

- LTE 3G or what?
- NV
- (and 2 more)
-
according to Sensorly, and reports on this site, tower SB33XC093 (in Victorville) is now LTE - but why doesn't it show as 4g in the latest NV Sites Complete map?
-
so for those of you who are frustrated by the slow pace of the network upgrades, don't forget to vote for smaller government next time you have the chance
-
Hey, just be thankful you have one tower in your county ... we don't even have a single tower in San Bernardino county yet!!! ;-)
-
It's great that this Sprint market has two towers now, but what I am most interested in is when they are going to turn one on anywhere actually in San Bernardino County? Any ideas? Thanks for your replies.
-
Now that 30 days have passed, do you still think we are only 15 days out, or do you have a revised estimate as to when we might get turned on here in the ie?
-
it seems so ridiculous that you should have to get permits to work on your own cell site! yet another example of a big government out of control collecting taxes from every angle they can think of ...
-
There are some sites near me that, according to the "NV Sites Complete" map, have icons that the "NV Complete" legend defines as "3G = EVDO hardware upgrades are complete and accepted. New backhaul may not be active." The speeds I am getting are not that great - does that mean the new backhaul is not active? Is there anyway to look up if the new backhaul for a site is active?
-
How fast was the speed?
