anyone know whats been activated in ardmore pa in terms of 800

 

 

Nothing is showing yet on the NV complete maps in that area and no one here has reported anything specific.

 

 

ok thank you for the info

 

 

 

I suspect the 800 you are asking about is not the 4G LTE service?

If however it is the LTE service, coverage in Ardmore started in late October of this year.

I keep searching for this (with no luck finding an answer), any news on when this phone might come to Sprint?

 

I'm happy to report that as of last night, Ardmore went live. I'm in Wynnewood, and am getting some pretty decent speeds (~8-12mbps) and I took LTE readings up Lancaster Avenue. Ardmore was in the 3-4mbps range, and then it faded into 3G by Ardmore Avenue. No more LTE from there on up, though I didn't get any further west than Wayne.

 

I get consistently inconsistent results in Ardmore. Along Lancaster Ave sometimes I get 4G, sometimes not.  I've been watching closely between Cricket Ave/Station Rd and Wynnewood Plaza (Peace a Pizza to Panera Bread).  May have learned today that if you'r emoving it's slower to switch from 3G to 4G, 

 

After looking at the Sensorly maps, I watched as I drove through Narberth on Montgomery Ave today. Pulled into the Staples parking lot and had only 3g. But after about two minutes it switched to 4G, did a few speedtests and saw 18-23 down/8-10 up.  Driving west, lost 4G at McClenaghan Mill Rd.

 

Whoever is gathering the results for the Sensorly maps gets better results than I do. 

Some time in the past week Sprint turned on expanded 4G coverage in Ardmore, in and around Suburban Square and along Montgomey Ave.  Prior to this I got spotty 4G coverage on Lancaster Ave only, now there's a strong 4G signal all over Suburban Square.

Did a speed test while sitting in Corner Bakery today and got 25 Mb down and 12 Mb up.  Where I work durign the week it's about 16 down and 8 up. I'm impressed, especially so since their plain voice signals had gone from full five bars and crystal clear to non-existant to mid range for the past three months. 

Mon - Wed

There must have been a lot of work going on yesterday. On Wednesday my phone was EVDO at 512 and BroadHead, Thursday it was bouncing between EVDO and EHRPD and the service was horrible.

Same here in the leafy inner-ring 'burbs of Montgomery County, off and on roaming (to V)) when I usually have a full five bar signal for voice.  As of yesterday it's stabilized back to Sprint, but voice signal strength now less than the old reliable full five bars.

Was hoping to see an expansion of the LTE circles on sensorly -- Montgomery and Lancaster Ave in Lower Merion -- but that hasnl;t happened so far.
