  1. 2 New 4G accepted sites 

     

    -- 1 center of Tracy, CA - 11th & MacArthur dr

    -- 1 south of Tracy, CA on the intersect of Interstate 5 & Interstate 580

     

    Also a number of 3G accepts going east on Hwy 50 towards South Lake tahoe just east of Camino, CA stretching almost all the way to SLT.

     

    Exact locations available to sponsors 

    Hey where do I go to donate?

  2. 10-15Mbps of upload is bad? The reason why it is lower is that Sprint B41 LTE is TDD and not FDD. TDD uses the same spectrum slice for uplink and downlink, separating them only by time which is operating at any given moment. FDD uses separate spectrum slices for uplink and downlink.The biggest disadvantage of TDD LTE is that it reduces uplink throughput speeds at the benefit of downlink speeds. Sprint is using a 3:2 downlink:uplink ratio in its TDD LTE. So in any given 5 second period, 3 seconds total would be spent on downlink and 2 seconds on uplink.In 99% of smartphone uplink use, no one will notice the difference between 10Mbps upload and 30Mbps upload. For most people and most situations, it is better to have faster download. In some ways it's a shame with FDD to waste an equal sized uplink channel when so much less uplink is utilized. Some may consider TDD a much more effective use of spectrum.In running S4GRU, I do a lot more uploading than most people do. My AT&T hotspot runs between 1-2Mbps on the upload and that can be painful sometimes. My VZW hotspot upload runs between 6-8Mbps, and that works very well. The B41 upload speeds exceed the average of my VZW hotspot. I think for the most part people are going to be very happy with that.Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

    Interesting info. And sorry I didn't mean bad.

  3. No. It is not recommended you to join sprint in the next 2-3 months unless something substantial happens in the next few weeks i.e. cluster acceptance / launch of 3G -> 4g.

     

     

     

    Cluster launch as many possible sites for 3G (usually numbers in the dozens to hundred(s)) in order to allow tri-band (spark) devices to access the LTE network due to circuit switch fallback pushing spark devices to 3G only status. A few days or weeks after a cluster launch on the 3G side, a LTE integration crew will come around and enable LTE services on any site that is ready.

    I've noticed since im connected to ehrpd most of the time now I catch lte so much easier and it stays alot better.
