  1. Sprint will not give you any information on when LTE is coming nor do their people actually know, in fact they will just tell you anything to end the conversation because they don't actually have time-frames or dates. Your wasting your time calling them. The best information on the Sprint NV rollout is right here from this website. Just keep checking back and become a Sponsor if you want to see the NV Sites Completed/In Progress Map.
  2. There is TD-LTE Active now...if you have a device that supports Sprints TD-LTE ( 2 different Hotspots) LG G2 is coming and Nexus 5 will be right behind it that will support 800/1900/2500. Sprints LTE on 800/1900 should be close to getting accepted on the sites that have been upgrading. In 10 months I would be pretty positive right now that you will get LTE across 800/1900.
  3. Top picture looks like Verizon's setup. They use a combo of smaller and bigger antennas. Not sure about the ones hanging off the building side in the 2nd picture....
  4. Not Sure if Sprint will be on that new tower, but the picture of the example tower they show in the video is Sprint Legacy 3G Equipment!!! I'm sure there will be more than just Sprint on the tower though. On a side note...maybe that is why it is taking sooo long for you to get 4G LTE activated. Neighbors are complaining..lol
  5. You would be connecting to the A Street Tower that has it's NV Equipment already and is almost probably close to being accepted. Looks like they may have upgraded backhaul either in place already or in testing mode. Should see some acceptances from this tower soon it looks like...LTE and maybe 3G and 800!!!
  6. If they just get the 1 tower that you are connecting to from your house done and LTE activated you probably won't care about the rest not being complete until next year...make sense?
  7. That probably means for your entire area to be 100% complete, which means every tower active with NV 3G and LTE. Doesn't mean that some towers 1 by 1 won't start coming online between now and then.
  8. Definitely Spring Legacy 3G Panels on the top. 3rd Down I think could be TD-LTE Sprint/Clearwire? Is that a TD-LTE RRU? Watch the very top of this tower for work and that will be Sprint NV work....
  9. Nope...It is all based on resources right now for the progress of Sprint's 4G Rollout and lack of fiber backhaul to each tower. The Backhaul/Fiber contractors are pretty dang busy.
  10. Looking at those pictures it's a little hard to tell. I think those are AT&T setups looking at the actual Panel...which is a bit bigger then what Sprint is using for NV...hmmmmmm I think Sprint actually might be on the rack directly below where they are working....1 panel per Sector for 3 total if you look closely at your last/bottom picture....looks like legacy 3G.
  11. adamant01, on 04 Sept 2013 - 1:56 PM, said: Sprints on that tower and a permit has been issued for Sprint to work on that tower but I do not see any Network Vision equipment. I'm having a hard time looking at these pictures and trying to figure out which rack is Sprint. Sprint is on there...looking at the more further away pictures I think Sprint is the bottom most rack right above where all the microwave Domes stop.
  12. You should get Sponsor Access fairly quick for your billgeo account here. You may have to log out/back in until you can see the Sponsor's Forums near the bottom of the Forums page.
  13. Having good reception is definitely good! But having degraded 3G performance probably means the Bradshaw 50 Tower is overloaded right now and/or getting ready to go through an upgrade.
  14. Donate a little something to the site through Paypal and become a Sponsor or Premier Sponsor and you will have access to some specialty maps and other items. You can see the tower out your window? You should have 4-5 bars? How many bars are you getting?
  15. There is a sprint tower just southeast of Folsom/Butterfield right at Highway 50/Bradshaw Rd. You can see it right off the on/off ramp to Highway 50. You should have pretty good reception there? As for how well 3G is working though...this tower could just be overloaded. When Upgrades start here you should see alot better performance at your work..nothing yet though.
  16. Actually there is two towers just North of the Campus Commons area that are currently In Progress being upgraded with new NV equipment. This may be why your seeing degradation of service at this time because other towers nearby are probably overloaded as these are going through the upgrade process. The first tower is located on Howe Ave/Northrop Ave down Bell St. The 2nd tower is more north at the intersection Howe/Alta Arden Way. You should see LTE service from these two towers soon as well as when other towers start to go through the upgrade process as well.
  17. LTE 800 activation on those towers will happen at a later date. You will need a new phone like the new LG that is coming out soon to receive LTE 800. As for LTE 1900 on all these other towers it should happen as soon as the upgraded backhaul connections are available to these towers since all the equipment on the pole's has already been installed. Every tower near you will get LTE. It's just a matter of time now....
  18. Yep! There was about 8 Cell Sites right along that route that just got accepted for 1X800 CDMA yesterday or today!
