  1. I'm not sure, but I thought once a NV upgraded tower was on, it stayed on...literally in between the 30 minutes I went out for lunch and came back the speeds completely dropped back to typical Sprint coverage.
  2. 60 freeway, Jurupa area. The Wooly mammoth on the hill. Unforunately it was short lived. came back from lunch and speeds are Ping 94ms Download .56Mbps Upload .80Mbps Tried to get more detail but the OPen Signal app keeps stopping on my Note 2
  3. I think there's progress in RIverside...or at least I hope. Just did a speed test because the phone seemed "zippier." 94ms Ping 1.82Mbps Download .44Mbps Upload I NEVER get speeds over 1.00 Download. It's kind of sad that I'm so excited for 1.82 but I'll take it!
  4. Agreed...when smart phones are being updated yearly and strides in development are being made at such a rapid pace, I don't think 2 year contracts are going to last much longer. Case in point, look at the HTC One and Galaxy S4 compared to the EVO LTE and S3...the upgrades to those phones aren't just minor anymore and they're being released so quickly. I actually think T-mobile might surpass everyone. Ive seen friends get LTE like speeds on Tmobile so assuming they can roll out LTE effectively, rather than drop to 3G you would bounce between HSPA and LTE.
  5. no worries, i just assumed .5Mbps because that was what I got the last time I did a speed test on my commute. ive also had speeds like .16Mbps, .21Mbps, and even .02Mbps. it's quite frustrating because i'm not trying to stream netflix or youtube. i just want to listen to music and not have to wait for it to load the next song. hopefully, things will pick up in the next month or so.
  6. You can call BS, but why would I lie about this? It's not like complaining about it on this forum will get Sprint to give me a credit to my account or lower my bill. I'm not trying to bash them since I'm clearly still with Sprint...I'm merely telling you what happens to me multiple times each morning during my commute. I stream Songza or Pandora and it takes way too much time to buffer the song. When it switches to a new song, I either stay, "buffering" anywhere from seconds to minutes. It seems like half the commute I can listen to music, the other half is spent in, "buffering."
  7. Equivalent service would be having data speeds that aren't .5Mbps. I can't even stream Pandora when I'm driving.
  8. I remember reading somewhere that LTE would be partially available in/around Los Angeles and Riverside by Feb, March. So far I haven't seen anything...the one time I did get a LTE signal, it only lasted for a brief moment and speedtests reviewed 2mbps which is slower than T-mobile which isnt LTE. This isn't a post to complain or vent, as I'm merely wondering how behind they are. It almost reminds me of when I waited for wimax which never came. Is Sprint planning on rushing through anytime soon or are they merely working at a glacial pace?
  9. Off the 60 freeway near City of Industry where Fry's Electronics is located. My first time picking up a 4G signal.
