LTE Market Launch Call... Here we go.

Can anyone here confirm this is both a Sprint tower and NV equipment. I know there are threads regarding "how-to" but I honestly just cant make it out. http://imgur.com/4opQnHw EDIT: According to the sponsor map this is a Sprint location with 3G NV done.

Yes, these people. Being the face of sub-par Sprint service 50+ hours a week has really taken it's toll over the last year or so. Constantly telling people to be patient and promising them (because I truly did believe it) that Sprint was putting in the work, spending the money and making things happen. I've had people scream, freak out, swear, attack me personally, all because they felt they weren't getting what they were paying for. And honestly, as a Sprint consumer, I would sometimes agree. Customer care handled this terribly. I'm not saying they should have made promises but I know from experience that they just didn't have the enthusiasm they should have when discussing what was right around the corner. Any one that is still complaining about Sprint is quickly becoming a minority. Every day I receive phone calls asking me why their phone says LTE at the top? Even some of the worst critics in this area have started to come around. No matter how long its taking to get to YOUR house you have to admit that you can see the progression and improvement daily. Its been a struggle, it will continue to be a struggle, but for anyone that doubts that Sprint has gone to lengths to bring us a new and vastly improved network experience can bite my shiny, metal, ass. Now I'm off to practice being (even more of) an elitist prick. ELITE 8 BABY!

I meant to post yesterday... "27 LTE accepted towers in the Rochester market". As always, this is just something I heard around the water cooler. Personally, I believe it when the S4GRU acceptance reports tell me I can. EDIT- Glancing at the map I suppose we already have 20+ accepted LTE sites in the market so it's actually not news. Unless they meant NEW.

I saw the acceptance report earlier and ran to check the map. I was like... There's nothing updated? Just checked it again now and SPLOOSH!

I have this discussion with customers quite often. Please keep in mind that for $11 a month its not JUST insurance. That includes service and repair as well. The market I work in is mostly people living comfortably within their means and the piece of mind is what they don't mind paying for. Personally, I find that putting a little more effort into ensuring my phone is always "safe" beats the monthy/yearly cost of TEP.

That helps ease my mind. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I've been able to connect to, and hold, LTE in Greece and Henrietta. After some fudging around yesterday I was able to connect to the LTE in Webster but not hold it. Is it possible that this one site is affected by the mentioned issue and not the others? Can anyone determine which tower is actually broadcasting the LTE signal in Webster? A customer yesterday mentioned he's been getting spotty LTE in Williamson as well. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Now it needs to drift down Dewey to Dorsey! Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

LTE in Webster at Ridge and Hard Road. EDIT- I can only connect to LTE on the GS4 and not on my G2... weird.

If I did the math right... If you had 2 groups, each with 4 phones, either already upgraded or currently eligible (before the 10th)... Each line gets a new $600 phone with $100 down and pays sales tax. Each line would be $25 plus $21 a month (phone payment). I know I'd need the 3GB plan for an additional $10 bringing my monthly total to aprox $56 plus tax. Even when I say it out loud I still get confused.

I sat through that call and repeatedly muttered "what?" under my breath.

My G2 is back online. My co-workers Torque has no data 10 feet from me.

Same here. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Sensorly shows some LTE around Plank road but I'm not sure where that would come from. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Christmas shopping at the mall sucks but the LTE at Greece Ridge makes up for it. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I was told this morning that all but 2 locations (Greece) have been updated. "Rip and Replace" is complete, 11 locations broadcasting LTE, final adjustments to optimize service are still under way. I can only assume that the only thing holding the Rochester market back from going 100% live with LTE is backhaul.

But I get paid extra to upgrade myself here at the store...lol. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

$50 black Friday special... Ill be joining you all over here in LG land in a few days.

Picked up LTE on 104 east from Dewey to the 590 split. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

4.3 won't be official until its digiblur official.

The best part is that I still carry an Android phone HAHAHAHAHAHA Someday when Apple allows its users to have a bigger screen and a little more freedom inside the software I'll be just another idiot. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

Did I try to say it or did I flat out say it? LOL I stick by my decision to support iOS as the more stable, more intuitive OS. I was actually sick the day service went down so I didn't get the reports until the issue was already resolved. More importantly... No new acceptance reports? Im over this...
