I live in Ann Arbor and am a couple hundred yards from the tower on Hogback Rd, the tower is behind the Washtenaw County Veterans Affairs office. The LTE signal was turned on on May 29th. I had a 4G LTE signal for a bout a week and have not picked up a 4G LTE signal from that tower since the morning of June 7th. I have also noticed that since that time, my 3G service when connected to that tower is usually EVDO Rev A, only occassionally can I get an eHRPD 3G signal from that tower. This is in direct contrast to the months leading up to the 4G LTE being briefly turned on where I almost always got am eHRPD signal from this tower. My 3G service, which had increased data speeds to the point I could watch a youtube video on my phone about the half the time is now crawling super slowly to the point the data connection is virtually worthless when I am at home - though it works fine when connected to other towers around town.
I have rebooted my phone multiple times, toggled airplane mode, made sure my PRL, profile, firmware, and HTC software is all up to date. I don't believe it is my phone, (HTC 4G LTE), as I can connect to LTE from other towers in the area. It has been a month since I was last able to get a 4G LTE signal from this tower.
Is it normal for Sprint to turn off LTE at a tower for over a month after they have intially turned it on? I can understand tweaking a tower and how coverage might be spotty for a week or so but LTE on this tower has been shut off for a month now.
