So nTelos has extended the agreement to include LTE service. We are just waiting for nTelos to open the doors for us right?

That's the way I'm reading it.

"Access to all 3 bands across the territory" would be nice to get some spark. Even if it is generic spark. Haha.

Wow. It's started. Hopefully ntelos will hurry and launch more than 4 markets now.

Bout time now launch it ntelos!

Sooner the better. Need ntelos to get on board asap.

The way I took the key note I would be native. Unlimited ftw!

Sent a tweet to Sprint today regarding the Ntelos towers here in Martinsville switching from EV-DO to eHRPD with no data and the reps told me they were recently upgraded with LTE but it has not been turned on yet (see tweets below).  I wonder if this is true because Sprint has always told me they couldn't see any of the Ntelos tower info like they could their own.  

 

 

Hope it's true.. having the same issues in Ashland and Huntington WV . eHRPD since Oct last year, but 3g has been down a lot this week.

3g was down in Ashland ky and Huntington WV for 6 hrs yesterday maybe it's a good sign.

As someone who left sprint in lynchburg due to nTelos..and not sprint this would be fantastic. I'd love to jump back on sprint for the framry plans but alas I'll stick with AT&T for now.

 

Maybe it's for roaming after sprint over builds or maybe we can tap into for native coverage. Wish they would let us know something for sure so we know who to wait on sprint or ntelos.

I attempted to read through this entire thread before posting but did not make it all the way through.   I purchased a Sprint LTE MiFi air card and attemtped to activate in the Ashland KY area as well as Huntington WV a few weeks ago.      The air card would NOT activate in Ntelos territory.   The air card is designed to revert to 3G when not in 4G territory.    No luck whatsoever in activating the air card.    I can drive 30 minutes north into Ohio (just north of Portsmouth), which is Sprint LTE territory and the air card activates immediately.   30MB download speeds on the Sprint LTE network!    As soon as I drive back into Ntelos territory, the air card stops working.   Sprint Store had no explanations at all regarding this issue.   I assumed the air card would activate on the 3G network and planned to use the air card until LTE arrives in these areas..Sprint is actively building LTE in these areas as I type.   Hopefully that answers any questions/concerns regarding LTE roaming agreements between Sprint and Ntelos.

What is your source that sprint is actively putting lte in ashland? I had my suspicions they were gonna over build certain ntelos cities. I also got a text in early November that sprint was building a whole new network for my city.

If that's a nTelos area eHRPD won't give any data @ all. I connect all the time to eHRPD but have no usable data. It says unregistered via signal check pro.

Hello I work for nTelos, I am a manager at a Richmond Virginia store and I have a friend that's a switch tech for Ntelos and he says LTE will launch June 30th. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Will launch for Sprint costumers?

My question is can people on ntelos roam on sprint lte now that they have lte capable phones?

If the rumor is true who will overbuild? Shentel? If it is shentel im willing to wait cas we will have lte in a month! If sprint gives em the green light.

What?

The roaming agreement for ev-do only. I don't think the ntelos reps know what they're talking about. I'm with you he was trying to get you to switch since it's live in Beckley.

Just chatted with another nTelos representative. I was told they have done "soft" launches in Beckley and Waynesboro, I asked if Sprint customers could connect once it is formally launched but i was continuously told that the roaming agreement is only for 3G data. Then again i know online chats like that should be taken with a grain of salt so it was probably just a tactic to provoke me into switching.

man what a crock.

Yeah I was @ Huntington mall today and the ntelos guy said it was live in Beckley as of yesterday.

Any one else experiencing pixelated images in apps or web? Just started all of the sudden. On wifi and 3g. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Robert. On another note ntelos said they launched "markets" plural via Twitter. Wonder where they are other than waynesboro?

Why would they not put this on their website? It's kinda a big deal for some people. Sprint while you are buying T mobile, buy ntelos too for the love of all things good!

Can't say about Waynesboro, but I've been able to stay on CDMA/LTE setting in C'ville without getting kicked off data which makes me wonder if something's afoot.

(Hope springs eternal)

Any thoughts on this? Is nTelos doing their own version of Spark? Only thing is that instead of 1900 & 800 it's 1700 & 700.... Doesn't match up....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Their is a guy on ntelos Facebook claiming to be getting lte in waynesboro. Can anyone confirm ?

I've heard nothing. They still say by year end. Yeah right.
