    I should clairify. I understand rev-a is a 3g technology. When lte work is happening on a tower ehrpd is not available due to the equipment upgrade, so it falls back on rev-a. Weeks before lte came live in Milwaukee, people were reporting rev-a on a lot of towers. I noticed the same on the few Madison towers that are now lte live. Does that sound more accurate?

    I was referring to lte within Madison city limits. Sitting in my car this morning on old sauk rd before work, I decided to run lte discovery mode app on my gs3. I noticed the network reverted from ehrpd down to evdo rev-a. It was like that all day. If I correctly recall from the comments on this thread, falling down to rev-a is a precursor to lte.

    I live in Middleton and work on old sauk rd right off of the beltline (far west Madison) No lte signal as of yet. I'm running lte discovery on my way to work once a week. I get full bars at the office which is great considering I work on the 8th floor. I would be a liar if I told you I was not slightly irritated knowing the Madison area was the first area in the Milwaukee market that Sprint began lte work, and now Milwaukee has been getting an explosion of lte around the city out of nowhere the last few days, and Madison has no new activity from a month ago when they started minimum work here. However, congrats for the members on this site who live in Milwaukee

    according to the Network vision running list thread on this site there are zero markets that are 100% complete. Please show me where you got your information?

    Are you telling me it's ok that you being a staff member of this site and getting into an argument with a member, pointing out flaws of a member, making a threat to ban a member all on a public forum for hundreds of people to read is ok? As a member of this site who has not paid a dime, I dont have the privilage to access certian content and I'm fine with that. You are really sending a bad message for all the people on here who are not premium members. I think you are very un professional and are of very poor character of how you represent yourself as a member of staff. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend sir.

    So you poke fun at peoples mistakes? yep that makes you one of those guys. Did Robert hire you as the grammar police? No? So why the F**K is it any of your concern? Instead of making a contribution to this thread, you point out my mistakes and for some sick reason you get off on that. you seem like the person who would point and laugh at a person you see at a resturant who is missing an arm, like all the other people with low self esteem would do. It's cool though, I'm really not upset. I feel bad for you AJ as it seems like you were the kid getting picked on in school. Now that thousands of people who visit this site know about you, look in a mirror and repeat after me." I'm smart, I'm funny, and by golly people like me". It may not be true but whatever it takes to make you feel better as a person. I hope what I said gives you the motivation for you to grow, mature and improve as a person.

    Congrats Milwaukee on getting LTE within city limits. you now have more coverage than Madison has, even though our sites were accepted before yours. Towns surrounding Madison have good lte coverage. It's like Madison is like the island from the movie Escape from LA. Sprint is afraid to go there. lol

    I mention not every city is 100% complete. I mean to say, not a single city is 100% network vision/lte complete.
  12. mr.phoneguy
    Nevermind. I cant edit it now
  13. mr.phoneguy
    Hence the reason I said ''In a lot of cities". Btw, One thing I left out in my original commentary....People were pissed off with the whole 4g wimax thing. see original post for the edit

    Sprint claims nv will give customers 20%-30% better coverage. As for the "lte islands" Not a single lte city is 100% complete. Even Verizon had these isues this time last year While I had a lte phone with them. There were a few pockets in my town without lte
  15. mr.phoneguy
    you are one of "those guys"

    Word of mouth is either a great thing or a bad thing. For sprint, it was bad. over the course of 2-4 years, Sprint lost some 2-3 million customers, for the reasons below. 1. customer service was horrid. If you had a problem for whatever reason and you needed to call customer service, the rep would either, A. not know anything, B.hang up on you every time you call or C. all of the above. 2. after Sprint purchased Nextel, they decided to consolidate both services into one billing system. for whatever reason, tons of billing errors occured. Both Sprint and Nextel customers a like were getting billed $200-$300 dollar more than what they should have paid on their monthly statements. When customers called sprint to get the issue corrected, they would not fix their bills and or get hung up on. 3. Network. When Sprint choose to go from being a long distance phone company to a celllular phone company, Sprint wanted to errect their network as cheap as possible. In a lot of cities, Sprint put up the bare minimum coverage in terms of number of towers in one area. If tower signals dont overlap you experiance dead spots. Summery. Millions of customer left Sprint for the issues listed above. Those millions of people told their friends and family members not to get Sprint service and the work spread like wildfire. When Dan Hesse took over Sprint following the nextel debacle, it was his mission to fix all the issues listed above. First he took care of the crap customer service. Now, Sprint is considered one of the best cstomer service experiance you can have. Now that network vision is under way, this will address the service issue. Keep in mind, changing public opinion is not easy and takes a lot of time to repair bad reputation. Also,even though service is getting a lot better in most areas, there are still ton's of bad coverage areas and will be at least a year or two before network vision will correct these issues.

    Looks like my connection already shows up on the sensorly map.!!!

    Just got back from visiting a friend who lives on bridge rd. my gs3 picked up lte for less than one second. When I parked down the road at super walmart I hit another patch of lte. I turned on sensorly, started driving and kept the lte connection for a good distance while on the beltline. I Hope sensorly will map my trip.
  22. mr.phoneguy
    Hmmm I may get the app
  23. mr.phoneguy
    I figured so. Reason I ask, apparently the EVO LTE has a hard time finding random LTE signals. The small blip you were able to map out Prolly wouldn't have been detected on the EVO LTE.
  24. mr.phoneguy
    Are you using the htc evo lte or the htc one?
  25. mr.phoneguy
    Looks like you mapped out your blip while you were on John Nolen Dr. Very weak purple signal but a signal none the less. I'd assume sprint will have towers lit up on major Madison streets/rd's (stoughton rd, E.Washington ave, University ave and the Beltine hwy) before any other towers go live. I plan on having sensorly running at all times during my travels on thoes roads.
