  1. What makes you think that? The full build sites will probably go live with 800 at this point, or at least a majority of them that get accepted after July 1. The GMO sites might have to wait, but thinks will get better real fast, and my guess is real soon in this neck of the woods. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  2. You could easily run 25 xbox live games with a 25 up speed. Sounds like you have a bad signal or antiquated routing equipment causing you issues. You can play fps games over 3g if the connection is stable and still stay under 150 ping. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  3. It will get better, very soon. A few more months of hell Today at Bradley Airport I could barely get my phones web browser to load pages that normally fly. Too bad I could see the tower and know there was no one on site doing anything too it, so i couldn't even justify it. It is frustrating from time to time, but hopefully a few more months, tops.

  4. If your LTE Expectations are for it to beat your home wifi with a cable connection, you are doing it wrong. Might it happen sometimes? Sure. Should it be expected LTE is faster? No. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  5. There are 4 towers in East Windsor, only 3 are on the sitting database, those 3 have the slate for the upgrade. East Windsor 15 Chamberlain Rd 41-53-52.33 41.897869 72-33-7.28 -72.552022 Sprint Crop Production Services WT 104.00 122.80 138 replace 6 CDMA antennas with 3 dual-band antennas 4G/LTE upgrade 04/05/13 East Windsor 50 (160) Plantation Road 41-52-32.3 41.8756389 72-33-53.1 -72.56475 Sprint Dean Rasmussen wt 126.00 135.00 replace 6 CDMA antennas with 3 dual-band antennas 4G/LTE upgrade 02/07/13 East Windsor 236 South Main St 41-52-37.8 41.877167 72-36-38.8 -72.610778 Sprint Balch Bridge Street Corp. ssl 120.00 188.00 56 replace 6 CDMA antennas with 3 dual-band antennas 4G/LTE upgrade 04/16/13 Now the fourth, at 96 Prospect Hill Rd is not on the sitting database, at all. It simply isnt there. This tower has Sprint, Verizon and ATT on it, its the big water tower you can see from the highway. There is no way this tower wouldnt be getting the upgrade that I could envision. Why it isnt on the database at all, anyones guess. I dont think every single site out there is on this state database. Actually, I know they arent, because the one on top of the Sheraton Hotel at Bradley Airport isnt listed. I typically drive around East Windsor looking once a week intentionally, then of course I live within eye sight of the 96 Prospect Hill Road Tower, and havent seen anything indicating start yet.
  6. Did someone not pay their auction fees on ebay? Tisk Tisk. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  7. If anyone sees work in progress in North central ct can you shoot me a PM? I want to get some pictures of them working to try and build some emergency response scenarios for fire/ems training. So far, I haven't caught action in Windsor Locks, East Windsor or Enfield. But I have to imagine it's close, I saw a lot of stuff on the state database. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  8. Could be your phone busted something inside. Could be tower work. Could be storm damage. Could be some guy in a house between you and the tower has built some type of reflector. Really depends. Are you a sponsor? Check the maps if you are, maybe a site is in progress near you. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  9. A loose bar is a good bar. If your single. Which I am not. Moral of this story? Stay single or you lose your loose bars and they get replaced with permanent, harder to pass through bars. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  10. You didn't drink enough and they went out of business. Go drink more at the 2 left before you loose all your bars. Sent from my Galaxy S3
  11. 1115 and still running strong. Happy too, I'm at work and need some reading material Sent from my Galaxy S3
  12. I work at Bradley in my primary job, and to date, havent seen or heard anything going on at the tower on top of the hotel. Trust me, I am watching like a hawk. There are 2, presumably GMO sites near BDL that are marked 3G complete, one is on top of the mountain next to Bradley. I actually wonder if that tower will get LTE, because getting backhaul up the mountain side might not be economical, though, that tower could easily cover half of Hartford County if they wanted it too, nothing is higher within a 15 mile radius.
  13. I am going to go with June 15 we start to see some, and my prediction is some sites near the casino, but not at the casino. That being said, I have no idea why Sprint calls southeast CT the Northern CT market, but meh, so it goes. I would love to see some LTE by July 1 in and around the Hartford area, most hopefully, north of it
  14. So, for the sake of spurring discussion, anyone want to make a guess on when the first Northern CT LTE site will go up, and even more brazen, pick which one? Sent from my Galaxy S3
  15. Time is money for all parties involved, so it's risk vs reward. Someone gets hurt, osha shuts you down for 4 weeks, everyone suffers, sprint, contractor, tower owner, consumer. Better to wait a day than a month. That being said, it takes balls to hang off a tower, roped in or not, so in bad weather many more kudos to the workers. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  16. This is a good thing. Will hopefully lead to a weakening of the duopoly over time, as it will allow a fair competition and prevent the big boys from locking everyone out of the sandbox. Score one for consumers. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  17. The state page is lighting up with information now. I wish they listed all sites, but I see some in Enfield, East Windsor, Windsor Locks, Windsor, so hopefully they can get to work soon. The updates are dated as far back as February, but haven't been on the site until recently. Bring on the LTE. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  18. Still GMO or are these the first full builds we are seeing in this market? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  19. Sensorly that 4g love! Don't miss it! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  20. So far I must say, based on what I see on the maps, they are definitely hitting the areas needing NV more than those that really dont. Cant wait to see when they start full builds around here. Patiently anxious.
  21. So, will none of these early GMO sites get LTE? Or they just may not get 800 LTE? What do you call a setup on a rooftop, like a hotel? It looks like a GMO, just everything is on a roof (no tower) 3g around me is pretty decent, for a while now (before NV), but I am curious of these GMO sites could start throwing LTE in the coming couple of months Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  22. sure didnt sound like you kept it, and doesnt matter if the rep suggested it or not, the point is, insurance you buy after the incident with intent to use it on old damage, is fraud. fraud raises prices for all of us
  23. People like you that do this is what screws the honest people like the rest of us. Just saying. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  24. awesome. Thank you. So I assume, if nothing is listed for Sprint, then they haven't gotten the state level go ahead yet? I don't see too much Sprint on there that is recent. I don't even see some towers listed. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
  25. Can someone link this state site? Every state site I saw, is pretty useless with information, or at least discernible information.
