Seriously unusable data at my house right now. My router went down so I was forced to use my celluar data on my phone, and it would be totally fine if I had LTE or decent 3G since I have unlimited but nope. I didn't even realize how mediocre this data is. You guys may think I'm just insulting the company (which I'm trying not to) but this is just unbelieveable. I keep going to the little circle dot everytime I try using 3G for more than a minute. And while of course im waiting for something to load on the slow 3G it goes to the circle which is 2x worse than edge. Ive gave sprint enough time to see if they have potential and they dont and i completely regret going to them regardless of cost efficiency. Either way im paying for my cell phone as might as well pay for something thats actually usable.

Where??

in fontana/bloomington

Still at about 650+ ping and .08 down and up where I'm at. I'm starting to get impatient on this whole rollout thing. Any place I go locally here it seems my internet is never useable, and it really bothers me.

Well tomorrow is a big day since I called sprint today do to the fact that i have been on roaming all day today and service has been just unusable this month and was told that by tomorrow NV would be done on the tower I use, its been about a month now but looks like the all the work is done since when I passed by today they where all packing up and they were taking the big crane they were using for the past 4 weeks to install the new pannels with the rrus's. The rep I talked to said that LTE would be active but im not sure.

would be nice if you said where this is at hahaha

Getting great 3g here on the corner or sierra and jurupa here in fontana! I dont know how to upload pictures on here but i was getting on average 1.53down and 1.07up!

With peaks of up to 2.13down

Hopefully it stays like this and hopefully LTE is not too far away!

can anyone be kind enough to give updates on upgrades near Slover and Laurel? if not its fine I feel bad already just requesting but yeah

I hope so because a sprint rep. said that speed would be better by May 18 because that's when the towet that i use would be done with NV but I still have horrible speeds. Ping is always above 1500 and downloads below .20Mbs and same for up which is way lower that what I use to get which was above 1Mbs for both down and up.

if you guys don't mind me asking, I always wonder how or why do speeds get slower? if he was getting 1mbps down (which is obviously better than .20mbps) what made it get slower?

 

 

I don't know of any way to determine NV sites using that app. Sorry.

ah well thanks for the info regardless!

hopefully fast speeds come my way!

can't wait for the 800 to come too, I'm tired of going on one bar and the dreaded circle icon everytime I go into a building.

So my speeds have been slow for about 5 days and finally decided to call Sprint due to the fact that I wasn't the only one in the area that noticed this. To my surprise the person helping me out told me that my tower is being updated with NV and that it should all be better by May 18 ..... Speeds have always been good for me, so I can't wait to see how much better they will be since I'm in a rural area

where at exactly?

because around bloomington high my data lately has been absolutely unusable, when I tried loading a page my iPhone would tell me that it isn't connected to the Internet.

 

 

At the bottom of the list is the current serving cell for EVDO and/or LTE depending on what technology you are on. I wish Planetbeing hadn't done it that way, but he did., but I sure do love Signal 2, especially since my Field Test 1x field won't fully load.

and ohhh okay I get it now. So in the app it displays two cells your connected to, the serving and the last "neighboring cell" that states "serving"? that's kinda odd but, I guess I'm connected to an EV-DO tower currently but it is slow...

do you have any idea how to determine if it's NV in this app?

sorry to bother you about this, but thanks for the info! thanks to everyone in this thread contributing haha

I'm not sure if it's just because of my signal app that allows jailbroken iPhones see their cellular tower information but everytime I check it says the current cell is CDMA 1x but all the neighboring cells are evdo. Does any iPhone tech-y know anything about this?

 

 

Yah same here in the southridge area near rite aid and rio ranch. Its super slow i get the little circle more than i get the 3g symbol. Hopefully LTE reaches this far.

same, it's nothing but 1x towers out here and they're all bad, .30 down if you're even lucky to get a good signal. and towers near Bloomington high don't have enough strength to pierce through their buildings.

 

 

Yah 3g use to be good there. I use to get about 1.5mb down and now the highest is .20mb down. Hopefully the tower across the street from the stater bros gets LTE . The LTE down sierra by target and that shooping center is pretty good for 1-3 bars. I got on average about 5mb down

yeah well I don't think I was on sprint long enough to enjoy when it used to be that good. I do remember though getting an LTE signal in jacks across that tower at the water park for like two days, but it never worked. and I'm not too sure if it was sprint but I did see a tower getting worked on. but the data all around this area is pretty bad.

 

 

In fontana near sierra??

yeah!

my data was completely unusable in the afternoon today! I couldn't even send a text message! near Jurupa and Citrus

mean while my 1x still does mediocre, this is the best result I can show off

any progress on towers starting to get upgraded?

still wondering why I've been connecting to the dreaded circle icon instead of 3G...to be honest I see no difference in speed though, I just wanna know why this would happen in hopes of NV happening around me.

 

 

Really?! Where??

you're probably looking at where it's the market completion post, look at the second round market post which is the market we're in, and if you scroll down to the bottom before you hit the third/fourth round post, you'll see in the bottom that it's been updated.

Does anyone know when they new updated LTE deployment running list will come out?? Its already going to be a month since the last one in april.

it says it's been updated may 3rd.

Today I've been on the dreaded circle icon on my iphone 5 all day, not even able to connect to 3G... what exactly does this mean? I really hope NV is getting implemented around me, im not even worried about LTE.

hey guys, quick question.

I've noticed someone mapped that little bubble of LTE near me, but I remember when I was there and got the LTE signal, it seemed like it was fine, although when I tried using the Internet, nothing would load. it's like, it's up, but not running. anyone know what that means exactly?

more LTE finds!

speed test for a site I was at in the back of rite aid behind Sierra

speed test at Jack Bulik Park

can't complain about the speeds even if it isn't "LTE expected speeds" cause my wifi is only 2.8 Mbps max haha

the signal lasted all the way from the park going down a street forgot the name

all the way to here

and I took a speed test right there and the speeds were godlike

I really wish I could map with iPhones though because nothing around here is mapped and this is big for Fontana!

so I found some LTE at my house today!

although it seems the speeds aren't as up there as it should, so I'm guessing its just a test?

here's the location on where I am

what's weird is that the 3G speeds I'm getting at the same location aren't as NV upgraded towers should be, which probably means I'm on the border of the LTE one but closer to the non NV one

I guess it makes sense since I'm only getting one or two bars

I don't know how to map via iPhone so there ya go. hopefully this LTE spreads and stays permanent!

Quick question how do you know you're connected to a NV tower? besides having 1 Mbps down cause sometimes I get up to .6 download and .9-1.0 upload so I'm not sure. Near Bloomington High school there's a tower that gives me 1.6 Mbps, but I tested that during 6 am.

shots fired

anyways no I was just talking about my area about me giving up for where I live that's all

Although I am happy with the progress, at this point I have abandoned the hope for LTE in this spring and replaced it with just an upgraded 3G tower now.
