  1. First time this has happened to me.I live in the south east corner of Franklin, today, while inside the house, Signal Check Pro sounded the alert that I had switched over from 1xRTT to 1X800. Signal strength was -105db but usable. I was able to make an outgoing call. (3G was on roaming).Went outside & it switched back to 1xRTT with a signal strength in the mid -90's.Did this 3 or 4 times during the afternoon, nothing this evening.I suspect it might be coming from the tower near 51st & Ryan that's been upgraded to LTE for a while now.

    I also live in the southeast corner of Franklin, but none of the 1x800 switching has happened to me. I get a nice LTE signal in my yard (-100ish), but rarely connect indoors. Sigh, someday I'll be able to cut my landline. I've only seen 1x800 at my cabin north of the Dells.

  2. Sprints network is getting worse not better.

    I agree. It's sad that I'm so excited for my service to improve from barely usable to still crappy. I always argue to my friends on what a great deal it is for Sprint with unlimited everything, but I only use 1gb a month because it's so frustratingly slow. I was promised 4g 2 years ago like everyone else yada yada yada, but I think it's time to finally switch over to Verizon. My girlfriend pays quite a bit more than I do, but she gets 15-25mb speeds everywhere she goes- inside big buildings, in houses, downtown, state fair, Summerfest, you name it. I've been awfully patient, but they're not moving fast enough to save a once-loyal customer.

  3. That's only because no one has mapped it. As you can see, you can pick up LTE on 94 which is on the other side of the park from the tower.

     At the fair all day yesterday. Like I said, the fairgrounds are out of reach of 4g signal. I have personally mapped most of the area while delivering mail, or traveling throughout the area in my mail truck. 

  4. No LTE for me around State Fair Park. I didn't do all the tricks, but I did toggle airplane mode.  There was a white van at the water tower, if that is indeed where the signal is coming from.

    According to sensorly maps, State Fair is out of reach from the closest 4g towers (66th and Burnham to the south, and Canal street to the east).
