This lasted about 2 or 3 hours. Now, I have data and signal is back to -86 dB. If they were doing tests with Network Vision's 1x-A @ 800mhz, that would certainly explain my jump in signal all afternoon. Are they doing Network Vision upgrades here (PHX)? I recall in AndroidForums, a member reported something simmilar in Dallas.. he called Sprint, they sent him an AirAve for free... and said they were doing network upgrades in his area. About 3 days later.. They announced Network Vision deployment is underway in Dallas. So, All made sense. So, Here, In Phoenix, am I experiencing the same thing... or is this wishful thinking? Thanks for you thoughts and opinions.
