Network Vision/LTE - Rochester Market (Rochester, New York)
joshnys8913 replied to S4GRU's topic in Markets
Awesome, Ive been holding onto my LG OG, I love it, but time to get a phone so I can get Spark, but its not quite down where I live yet, but I could always take a trip up into Rochester and visit a friend just so I can test Spark. -

Ive talked about carrier maps on this site many times, Sprint is actually the most accurate, At&t is just like big red V now they just give you the color of service your going to get, and its very basic, its either you have service or you dont on their maps when you voice. When it comes to 3G or 4G LTE you get a general idea of what your going to get, but no street level difference. T used is be better when they had their green maps, they changed to pink to cover up all their 2G coverage which I think is stupid, its VERY misleading to a normal customer for them. Sprint still AT LEAST gives you street level Excellent, Good, Fair, No coverage, yes they are not always correct or great but who says wireless is perfect? ITS NOT! LOL!!!! At least Sprint gives you a general idea of what you MIGHT get at your house (outside street level). It all depends on your phone too, not all phones are created equally. I am not saying your wrong, because you are right, I agree with you, I wish they would revamp their map, Sprint is behind the times with coverage map! I agree with your situation about the "deep orange" they have my city as having deep orange coverage when that is NOT true when you are in the middle of the city you loose 4G LTE and drop down to 3G, it dont matter what phone you have (I have tried SEVERAL) and they just cant hold on to LTE the whole time (its because of the buildings). With that being said I started out as a Sprint customer several years ago and left for another carrier thinking it was better when it was not I came back after a few years. Sprint has always had good coverage for my needs, LTE is a struggle sometimes in some places I go to, but that dont bother me much. Hey you put in your 2 cents, well there is my 2 cents, lol. You can disagree with me and thats fine I am not perfect either haha.

I personally like Time Warner Cable, I have never had much of any big issues with them for Internet, we get better then advertised speeds here, even during peek hours. The issue we always had with them is TV, even to this day we went back to the TV part of TWC and nothing has changed, its not any better then it used to be. Kinda wish we stuck with our dish (for the TV part).

The finally got the other tower by EV Mall in Victor upgraded to LTE. I noticed it yesterday the whole time I was able to keep 4G LTE in the front of the mall facing 96. -

joshnys8913 replied to twospirits's topic in General Topics
I go and check several towers at least once a week! (I do them in clusters (several at a time, I map them out and take a road trip!) I try and make it a loop to and from home or to and from where I need to go). -

Your lucky down there, I am in the Rochester, NY market it will be a while for us. For anything 800 that is.... If anything we would probably get Spark before 800. (you never know though!) -
