We'll be relocating to the Phoenix area next month and we are giving Maricopa, AZ a strong look.  I noticed only two towers (one to the east, one to the west) of Maricopa and both were 3G only.  How is the signal down that way?  Will those towers get the LTE upgrade? 

 

Once your account is upgraded, you'll be able to see the maps which track the NV rollout. You'll notice that none of the sites have had LTE accepted yet. Equipment is installed, but the internet backhaul needed for LTE hasn't been delivered yet.

I've seen the map now, still a bit confused.  The Peoria area only has about half its towers accepted on LTE.  Would it be reasonable to conclude the others will become LTE as well, or is the plan to only upgrade SOME towers and not all?  Will it be teh same for Bloomington?

I'm just waiting for the Peoria IL. to become LTE live? they've been working on 4G for a few months. not really any progress lately... :-/

I've been able to pick up LTE in parts of Peoria, East Peoria, Morton, Pekin & Tremont since October. 

The sensorly maps show some pretty decent coverage there, though they still may be working to fill it out.  The tower updates for NV on this site in the members area show some towers are still 3G only.

Bloomington still seems to be in the dark, though the Sprint site says there have been 22 data speed upgrades in the last 6 months. I can only conclude if they have done the upgrades, they haven't turned the LTE cells on as data can be next to non-existent throughout town.

BTW - Hi.  I've been lurking for some time.  Just donated to become a sponsoring member.  Thanks for all the info!
