A large portion of southern Indiana seems to be covered by 800mhz now. I have been to Greenwood and east of Columbus and all around those areas, and of course including Columbus I have had 800mhz. They have really been adjusting the panels a lot lately though because when I first got 800mhz the signal was only slightly better but now where I had no service I am getting a solid 3-4 bars whereas in the very beginning I got maybe 1-2. So they are definitely tweaking it a lot still. The 22412 SID covers Indianapolis, Bloomington and one other area I cant think of off the top of my head and so far all around those areas I seem to be getting it. It seems very widespread for me now and I have been able to experience the full benefit that is Sprints new network

Yea, I may have jumped the gun a little. Sprint took away my 800mhz goodness this weekend and I'm back on 1900. I am assuming they were just testing it last week and getting downtilt measurements etc. However, the testing I did get to do, there were absolutely ZERO dropout zones that I could find in Columbus, IN. The 3 major dropouts I had at work were all filled with a completely usable signal, at worst dropping to around 98dBm in a stairwell. I even made calls upstairs and continued all the way into the basement without a single hiccup or breakup. It was a crystal clear call. Here's hoping they turn it back on again soon...I miss it.

So, Sprint 800Mhz just lit up in Columbus, IN. SID is 22412, just like the Nextel assignment created forever ago. Signal strength is almost EXACTLY like my Verizon phone when I carry them around now. The numbers literally almost mimic each other. I have yet to see it go over -80db, although I have always had good coverage here at home. The real test will come at work tomorrow in the staircases and basements. I cannot believe we got 800Mhz THIS early! It is phenomenal!
