spark731

Consistently fast in Henrico and downtown Richmond. I personally can't believe it myself but I've also been consistently getting speeds in the 150+ Mbps during peak hours in areas with spark (pretty much everywhere in Henrico and Richmond that I travel to).

When I broke my glass, it didn't work at all. Not in the slightest. I opted to get the insurance replacement because it was a better option than replacing the screen myself at the time. Sorry for your semi-loss.

Its possible that your home is covered by multiple towers. If you're getting b25 until the front door then that means another tower may have kicked in. My apartment is covered by two different towers and I experience this. You just have to wait for the other tower(s) to be upgraded to get your LTE in home. If you become a sponsor you can see the sponsor maps which will give you an idea of which towers might cover your home and their progress.

You really can't base you results on an unfinished network either... The sites that are accepted, are accepted internally. When this location officially launched to the public, then we can truly see what the results are. I'm sure they have much tweaking left to do with a lot of these towers, but the good news is: work is getting done! At the rate all these towers are getting worked on and completed, we'll have this place ready, working, and launched in no time at all. (Relative to how long we've been waiting, of course )

That's definitely band 41, which typically does have lower upload speeds. I'm glad you see it around 5th and main again! I connected to 4G around there a few weeks ago, but it went away because of what I assume was testing.

Awesome. I never was actually able to go home. I've been stuck on campus working on a major project, but when I go back to pass out I'll be sure to check then. Glad she has LTE working now.

Hardly. That's not the one on grace street I can confirm that. I believe this is one is on commerce street. When I go there this evening, I'll check signal check pro to verify it's location.

Just got LTE further down Shockoe Bottom today. I've been trying to map it, but it's not collecting the data as well as I'd hoped.

Are you able to map it on sensorly? Also, you're getting LTE on your galaxy S3 or another device?

Just got some Band 41 LTE here in Downtown Richmond! They must have finally upgraded the 3G on one of the towers on campus!! As expected it's quite fast since we're out of peak usage hours and there probably aren't too many tri-band devices out here. Hopefully this means the inner city, through the Chesterfield area mostly have received permits, and with that will begin NV vision updates preferably in clusters like they sort of have been. I feel very confident that the work will start increasing pace soon, since I've been experiencing such a wide variety of positive changes with the network recently. This is getting me excited again!

so I side loaded the update yesterday, and today I noticed that in the ##DATA# screen, if you select "edit" - "priority" is misspelled. Does anyone else see this? - Rameez

Now that depends on the job,... If I'm hiring an engineer or a doctor, I want them to prove they rigorously studied all the important things at one point that are important to the job. Getting that degree shows dedication to all aspects of the presented material, and not just knowledge in a niche area I found interesting. I may be biased because I'm graduating in May with an Electrical Engineering degree, but having gone through the process I can truthfully tell you there's a big difference. I've had more experience with real engineering before college than some people get years after college, but I still wouldn't have hired me without a degree. The quest for my degree has shown me insight into different methods of solving the problem, that I'm able to use alongside my natural abilities to enhance the end result. I feel my experience makes my solutions more practical when applicable, but also reserved to make a judgement until I've analyzed the problem a bit. I can fully understand. I've worked full time and have been given nothing during my time in school. Good luck to you in all that you do!

That can't be right... that's approximately 32 Mb/s do you mean 3210 kb/s ? Or are you connected to Wifi while testing? Either way both of those speeds are fast for 3G. If you became a sponsor, you'd be able to see all the amazing progress the Richmond market is finally seeing. Honestly, since your contract ends 4 months after your upgrade date, I would wait and see the amazing progress that comes over the next few months.

I personally have seen a huge improvement on 64 going towards the west end and downtown express way (which is of course mapped). I also have seen a lot of testing towers on the east end on Henrico, that are no longer on right now, and in chesterfield as well. From what I've heard, a lot of towers in this market are LTE completed but will not be turned on until eCFSB + 3G Network Vision gets completed on those same towers. Hopefully once they roll back around and complete the 3G, they'll have a huge single time frame of acceptances come in.

And the actual HTC website says Tri-Band... It's Tri-Band.
