Odd, I had 4G LTE at Gillette yesterday. Fairly weak signal up in the nose bleed, but it was there. 5-10mbit speeds.

 

I am wondering if they have just started working on the DAS there... maybe they haven't made it around the stadium yet. My 3G signal was super solid (overpowering 4G).

The 4G is strong on R1 in Wrentham, and is abruptly ends on the Foxboro line. You must have picked up for being high up.

Nothing at Gillette stadium today. Could barely keep a 1X connection.

Yeah I've noticed at Gillette during the Pats game Sprint service is awful. I noticed that Verizon 3G isnt much better and only their LTE connection works.....

4G in Westboro in the center of town and 4G in Walpole in the center of town. Spotty but shows promise.

They use COWs for that.

Yes but wouldn't it benefit those who aren't on or around the race track? They set the COW's up to cover the race tracks, they probably need the permanent towers to bring the COW's online kind of like building repeaters...

Any luck in Westboro? The tower near baystate commons shows it is upgraded for LTE but my EVO LTE isn't picking it up.

Doubt it.

And why do you say that?

Probably in preparation for the Nascar race in November.

Anyone notice issues in the Hopkinton area? Perhaps the tower on 495 is being upgraded?

None of Sprint's phones do.

After June 1st, yes. All NV sites up to this point have been 3G only, because the 4G cores for the Boston market are not yet up and running.

Brilliant Robert, thank you.

Pretty much. NV is not being deployed neighborhood by neighborhood. But rather in a shotgun approach, repeatedly, month after month. So every month one or two towers in your area are upgraded until they are all complete.

 

Robert

And that includes 4G as well?

NV is under way in the Boston market, which includes Worcester. Some 3G NV sites will be complete this month. 4G sites are scheduled to start coming online in June. However, the market won't complete 100% until Fall.

Thanks Robert, does that include the surrounding towns from Boston to Worcester, specifically Westboro, Hopkinton, Framingham areas. I am looking for a reason to switch back to Sprint.

Any news for the Worcester, Ma area NV, LTE or both?
