Anyone in the Boston area experience CA? If so, where?

Boston's 3G got upgraded!? Where!? In somerville which is about 10-15 minutes north of Boston and the 3G is like dialup at best... ugh... i'm getting 579/22k on my Evo LTE

Question, if I don't have good indoor WiMax coverage where I live, can I expect the same experience for when my market goes live? I would think this is the case due to the old wimax baseboards being swapped out for LTE baseboards. Can anyone clarify if this is the case?

Also, anyone in MA able to connect to the LTE sites?

Two reasons...1. Only 16% of all the sites in the market have been converted as of the writing of this article. If you are on a legacy site, then nothing has changed for you, yet.2. Not all the 3G Network Vision sites have new backhaul on the day they go live. If the backhaul has not landed at the site when NV crews show up, they still convert the site to Network Vision and hook up the legacy backhaul for a short time until the new backhaul arrives. So in some sites, there is a slight delay until normal NV performance takes over.Sprint is not blocking access to the 3G network at completed Network Vision sites. We are getting lots of good reports of much improved speeds at confirmed completed sites in the Lynn/Beverly area. 1.5Mbps to 2.6Mbps.Robert

So.. what was the point of this article? You stated that 150 NV sites are complete, don't you think complete should mean going live with the new backhaul??

If these NV sites are live, why am i still getting crappy 3G speeds? I am averaging 300k/114k in Somerville, MA. Did they block access to their NV sites until LTE goes live?
