    Thanks - what would the new panels look like?

    So since I have only a iPhone 4 at the moment…. what should I notice in my area to show work is being done? I have been noticing speed tests in some parts of town in the mid 2mb range which I think is near impossible LOL some speeds are still in the low 200kb range of less. I don't want to get too pumped up since in the past my area pretty much sucks for Sprint :-) but I'm loving it now baby!!! I might exchange my phone for a 4s or a S3 (can't get a 5 since its outside of my exchange window,,,)

    well for what its worth - it seems more people use the network on Mondays than sundays lol — speeds today dropped off to about 80kb (some spikes to 200kb) and since I have already ported from AT&T my wife would go ballistic if I switched back now lol. I hope the NV updates planned for October+ actually pan out otherwise I have a iPod Touch with a expensive monthly bill :-)

    Just picked up an iPhone on sale at RadioShack and so far in my area of town I'm pulling down around 1.2-1.6MB on EVDO which I think is crazy fast for Sprint in this area! I hope they update the other tower(s) as Robert stated since those areas I'm getting at best 200K and so far (a whopping hour and half lol) about 90-110k down which is "appalling" in my mind. Tomorrow I pick up my device a Galaxy Nexus (free at Sprint) and hope I enjoy Android :-) My wife didn't even want to try it so she is on an iPhone still (which I will most likely miss but at least I'll have a great reason to get the next iPhone due out shortly it seems.

    That sort of fits — when I switched to Sprint when the 1st eve came out has awesome speeds….. most of last year was in 100kb range so after a ticket being open for close to 4 months I ported out! I was hoping 6-8 months later (about a year in total) it would be improved. What to do what to do…. I wish I could trust the Vision plans - I would wait out a few months of no service, but thats about it. AT&T is waving my ETFs at the moment so I want to use this pop but maybe I'll stick with AT&T and upgrade to the shared plan and take the 10GB which to be cost over kill but I'll stop drinking soda and coffee in the morning I suppose…

    well tis didn't go no where near as planned…. long story short I'd never buy a phone via Amazon again! Box arrived (left at door) open box and everything looks smashed except the phone - since it wasn't in the box! 2 house later after leaving my local police dept amazon is giving me the run around and this sucks! I know 1st world problem but still :-)

    major FOF (frown on face) hmmm

    typically in my area its 4-5 bars, some only 1 bar, highest speed in my area on hspa+ was 6.14 down and at the same time 1.74 up. Most 2-4 down is typical. I know evdo is 1.5 down or so max... in all honesty 800-1.2 down is all I care about as long as I can stream with no issues I'm happy
  9. Johnner1999
    thanks guys... actually I have an S3 on its way from Amazon - and just wanted to see if I was going to be disappointed much lol AT&T with HSPA+ is fast in the area around 4mbps down (but also has patches of late where it hits 400k and even EDEG is creeping back into the mix, maybe LTE work going on but I doubt it. The lower fees with Sprint and no data cap is what drew me back (I left about 8 months ago and was getting about 100k)... I'll report back later in the week-end

    Just curious how good or bad Sprint data is currently in the Litchfield county of CT? thanks john
  11. Johnner1999
    so the above pin drops are what towers you think will be lit up by January. And does show all towers that are available?
  12. Johnner1999
    Thanks - in the past I never found this to be updated often (or maybe it is and well no actions to report lol)
  13. Johnner1999
    this I assume is a repeat question, but... besides stalking the local towers (do you have access to the actual locations if yes do we? lol) to see if work is being done -- how can you check or see if your area is being prepped or worked on? ANd how long does it typically take to finish a tower to NV? And last I hope they are bringing in new or at least improved backhaul to the towers? thanks again for GREAT work here!
  14. Johnner1999
    from what I have read Sprint isn't using any of the wimax locations since those are still run by clear wire, and when clear switches over to LTE not sure at that point...
  15. Johnner1999
    And this site https://network.sprint.com/ has no info for NV updates (they are not listed by Sprint correct?) That site is primarily a stop gap - correct or am I mis-spoken?
  16. Johnner1999
    Great news… so I assume the NV owes 3g are "stronger" reception wise than the current older hardware? and safe to assume that the "northern" section of this area (torrington/litchfield) will be worked on 'last'?
  17. Johnner1999
    Is it safe to assume this also will include LTE - or will that stay as a seperate launch plan? Also I see Winsted/Torrington/Bristol/Waterbury areas in yellow, but they are not 'Southern" to the state rather Northwestern? Did we just luck out or is it an error?
