  1. Just started roaming couple of minutes ago in a smith bay. And btw, nobody answered my question "did st.Croix have any outages before getting lte".
  2. Well I already knew about the need for more towers due to tourists(St.Thomas is the capital of course), but not the topography though. I've never been St.Croix, but I've always thought St.Croix had equal or more hills than St.Thomas.
  3. Did St.Croix notice any outages before LTE or did it just appear at random? Edit: Funny how St.Croix is bigger but has less towers than St.Thomas.
  4. When Sprint start with St.Thomas, they better start with smith bay / Anna's Retreat. That is the best area on st.Thomas when it comes to signal and data speeds. Too bad the VI can't get state side speeds, ex: 28Mbps, but 3Mbps is good enough for me right now lol. I want to know at&t speeds to sprint's speeds
  5. So you're saying that the 2.5Ghz spectrum has a large capacity, similar to 800Mhz
  6. So why is sprint bringing a higher frequency even though they're still using the same LTE technology for? Unless they're gonna use new LTE technology, maybe? And since higher frequency isn't good with building penetration, why not put it in less crowded cities instead ofcrowded cities?
  7. Can anyone explain to me why Sprint is adding new higher frequencies, I read that they will add it with lower frequencies to make it more stable but I don't fully understand it. I know higher frequencies bring higher data speeds, but Sprint said they will add it to crowded cities, and higher frequencies is not good with building penetration. So can somebody explain this?
  8. Service been pretty good in smith bay, I haven't noticed losing service since I joined Sprint. Though there was a day when my calls were dropping but that's it. I went in town yesterday, I don't normally go town, I normally stay in country, and I noticed I got horrible signal in town especially in garden street when I was in the dentist office; 1-3 bars(mostly 1) out of 6 bars on the HTC one. I feel bad for people in town using Sprint, it seems town has too many building, preventing good signal.
  9. Hopefully it comes soon. I just got the HTC One with Sprint, switched from HTC evo v on Virgin Mobile.
  10. October, wtf is this?! I'm going to buy a LTE phone soon and I expect actual LTE service to go with it.
  11. I thought it was 8, you're probably right; I can't always trust my own memory with small things like this.
  12. Im checking network.sprint.com for the area code 00802, and it shows 9 data upgrades; I believe it was 8 the last time. Maybe they recently finished NV in St.John.
  13. It had a outage yesterday when it started raining, I was kind of hoping.
  14. I think deployment is coming soon, they're working on the towers(without causing outages). Haven't had a outage in a long time. Anybody wanna volunteer to leave 4G on, on their phones?
  15. The goal is to get LTE signal everywhere 3G signal can reach or more, though LTE signal might not appear everywhere at first but that's only at first.
