Sprint Launching New LTE Cities - December 2013
tmiw replied to Dkoellerwx's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
People should choose the provider that works best for them at the present time. If Verizon or AT&T works best for them where they use their phones the most often, then go for it. For me, 3G and 4G have been getting better and better over the past year so I'm happy. -

Sprint Launching New LTE Cities - December 2013

I wonder if this means there's going to be a mass of 3G/4G acceptances within the next week. I imagine Christmas and New Years weeks will have barely any work done. FWIW, the tower near my house isn't 3G accepted and it doesn't look like anything's been done. -
We'll get it before 800, but Sprint isn't going to give us higher priority because of the IBEZ. Also, we never got WiMAX. The two sites that went up are protection sites. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

^ Oh, that map. Nice. It does seem awfully optimistic at the moment though.
-
I just wish they'd start working on the "tower" (actually AT&T building) by my house so I get 4G at home.
-
The drop-down list at http://network.sprint.com/? It seems like it's for the "data speed upgrades"; that's been there for a while. Unless I'm missing something?
-
I'm glad I have the One instead of a triband phone in a way. At least with the One we have SvLTE.
-
For the band you're on, go to http://192.168.1.1/debug (it'll ask you for your password). I think you only need your MSL for advanced settings, where you can change band order and en/disable the 800 and 2500 bands.

I took a look at Robert's latest map update today and it looks like a large number of towers in SD proper are 4G approved now. Is it safe to say that if they fill in PB and Clairemont that Sprint could be able to launch here?
-
Interesting. Looks like Sprint is going to be paying to move/replace public safety radio equipment even outside the IBEZ: http://www.800ta.org/content/resources/faqs.asp#costsfaqs
-
Yeah I figured as much. I thought I noticed something different but didn't get a chance to investigate until now.
-
Er, somehow I made two posts and can't delete/modify one without modifying the other. Help?
-
I think I'm late to the party on this, but after downloading the latest OTA update the signal bars on my phone seem to correlate with the signal strength of the current tech being used for data (1X, eHRPD/EV-DO or LTE) instead of just 1X like before. I took the attached screenshots on the way home from the store. The first screenshot was about a block or so before I completely lost LTE signal, while the second is right outside my apartment. I was on the same 1X/eHRPD tower for both. Notice how I only have one bar in the first screenshot while I have four bars in the second. Anyone else notice this?
-
Hmm, I was near there today and there was no 800. Tried toggling airplane mode and updated PRL too. Maybe it being on was an accident or they were doing testing.
-
May want to ask Robert about that. Could be a mistake.
-
It might still be new, just that it's been sitting at some sort of central location for a while before being installed.
-
Considering all of San Diego County is in the IBEZ, the fact that the guy posted a screenshot of SignalCheck showing 800 is significant.
-
They might be doing work in the IBEZ already. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2144-network-visionlte-san-diego-market/page-50&do=findComment&comment=222973
-
I wonder if the users on the Baja California side already vacated (at least some of) the required frequencies. 800 might still be pretty slim here since they still have three years or so to completely leave.
-
So it probably won't be until 2017 or so before the IBEZ gets 800Mhz. At least it's progress!
-
Will the government shutdown delay an agreement for the IBEZ at all?
-
…and I dropped a call just now. There's one legacy tower in the middle of a bunch of 3G updated ones, so that might have something to do with it. I thought Alcatel-Lucent equipment was supposed to hand off to legacy fairly well?
-
Some of us travel often to places not in the IBEZ.
-
They just turned LTE on for a few towers near work. The issue has always been AT&T, etc. dragging things out.
