Any updates on 800mhz in CLT?
-
Anyone get LTE in the Ballantyne area? I frequent that area and I never get LTE. Yesterday I when to Indian Land, SC to fill up with some cheap gas ( ) and got LTE there, which was only 1 mile away.
-
Do any of you with faster speeds have data caps? I'm worried TWC and Comcast merger will introduce data caps in our area.
-
I was looking at the coverage map for CLT on Sprint's website and it says the whole city has LTE. Also the sensorly maps show that, but I'm not sure why my phone connects to 3G more than haft the time even though I am outside.
-
Any new sites in the CLT market? I haven't see anything new for 6+ months.
-
Is HD Voice now on? Mine appears to be working

VoLTE is AMR-WB (AMR wide-band). Why is Sprint not doing VoLTE? Circuit switching is old technology. -
Update: I'm seeing lower ping times now at some 3G sites around town. Also slightly better speeds. I'll keep testing to confirm.
-
So Verizon plans to turn off 3G by 2021. When is Sprint going to turn off their 3G? Personally I think 2021 is too late. Verizon can turn it off in 2016 or a little later. They have good LTE coverage and their LTE will cover all of the 3G areas pretty soon. The only reason to do it that late is to give people enough time to switch their devices to new LTE capable devices. There are also the cellular units for security systems. Those can also be switched out in a couple years. What else is 3G used for? Once 3G is shutdown, that spectrum can be used for LTE, so that would allow for more bandwidth.
-
Ping times on 3G are still very high and speeds are low. What were those 107 updates specifically?
-
I'm getting LTE now. I was just at Sardis/Independence at the new Discount Tire store and I was getting full bars with LTE. I got 20Mbps down and 5Mbps up. Also I'm getting LTE at work so it seems they turned on a tower close to my work which is good news. Try to wait it out a few days and maybe restart your phone every now and then.
-
Got LTE back. Hopefully it wasn't an issue with my phone. It seems there have been no new sites with LTE since December. What's the deal? At first it seemed like Charlotte would be 100% LTE by the end of 2014, but now it is more like 2015.
-
I travel all over south Charlotte and a little bit of east Charlotte and I don't get LTE anywhere. I was at Chipotle off 51 in Pineville and only picked up 3G. I go there a lot and had LTE for the past few months.
-
It's getting worse. I'm not getting LTE in any of the usual places I visit. Is it my phone or others are having this problem as well? Why are LTE sites going down?
-
After the official announcement some of the LTE sites have gone offline it seems. I could get LTE on I-485 from Pineville up to Mint-Hill. Also Independence Blvd from Margaret Wallace to Sardis Rd, the LTE signal is gone.
-
I've got the same problem. I'm in a deadzone here in Charlotte and if you go quarter of a mile in any direction you will get LTE. Looking at the coverage map on Sprint's website my area has WIMAX and 3G.
-
3G is killing me. I use the maps app and navigation a lot even though I've been in CLT for 20 years. With 3G and good signal it still doesn't load the route info. With LTE and low signal it loads fast (2-3 seconds). I can't wait until all the towers are complete in Charlotte, and I'm hoping majority of the country is off 3G by the end of 2014.
-
Picked up LTE at Albemarle Rd and Harris Blvd intersection. 13.94Mbps down and 2.14Mbps up. Pretty good down speed.
-
Yeah, Sardis Rd. N near Galleria. Also got LTE on Randolph Rd at Cotswold yesterday. And today in Mint Hill (Lawyers Rd and Matthews Mint Hill Rd). I was using the maps today and was really glad LTE was in that area. Before I got to Mint Hill I was on 3G and maps would take forever to load (both Google maps and Apple maps). Charlotte is lighting up with LTE!
-
Got LTE at Idlewild Rd and Independence Blvd. It was gone shortly after. Maybe it was from Rama Rd? I have an iPhone so I can't use Sensorly.
-
Got lte today at S Tryon and I-485. Also picked it up at Monroe Rd and Sardis Rd. This is great!!!
-
East and South-West CLT are slow as hell on 3G. No sign of LTE in either of those areas.
-
Google has their own YouTube app for iPhone. So the YouTube app in iOS and Android is very similar.
-
It sucks KS is getting LTE just because Sprint is headquartered there. Sprint should make sure they are doing everything they can to bring California and other populated areas up to speed.
-
SERO plans get 15% off, while SOME corporate plans get 25%. So I don't think SERO is killing them.
-
Thanks a lot guys. If the credit union discount is 19% it will be better than the Everything Plus plan which comes out to 14.9% for me.
