Just tried a speedtest on Sensorly near the Jefferson/Masthead intersection, couldn't get one to run successfully, kept getting a "failed to connect to xxx.xx.xxx.xx within 5000ms or something like that. Still, was surprised to make an LTE connection at all. -
Would you narrow down which Lotaburger you are at?
-
I saw that same LTE on Jefferson and Paseo, mapped a little bit of it in Sensorly. I even barely got an LTE signal inside my office near Jefferson and San Francisco, which any signal at all inside my building is amazing.
-
Mapped a little bit of the Golf Course, Irving, Eagle Ranch and Paseo run this morning, signal was weak and dropped completely to 3G once I hit the river, but something is better than nothing!
-
Sitting in the airport right now, terrible signal strength. Was so excited as did have an LTE connection while rolling up Sunport Blvd, but it all but disappeared by the time I cleared security. Is the airport structure a faraday cage like the average stucco home? I guess so, but you'd think all the big windows would let something through.

But I don't have a tri band phone!!!!!
-
Where in town were you ?
-
Is that the same tower that got the early acceptance and then subsequent rejection?
-
Wow, first piece of good news on this front in a long, long...ever??....time.

Thanks for all the thoughtful insight Robert. Going to hang on to the Sprint phone as long as possible, it may be that my choice on whether to jump ship or not is whether or not Sprint begins to carry new Nokia hardware. Pains me to no end to say this, but I was quite impressed with a friend's Windows Phone I got to use for a weekend, and I hate Microsoft.
-
Not planning to jump that quickly, as the ETF is rough, though doable. However, knowing what you do know about the other providers in the Albuquerque area Robert, if you still lived here and had no ETF's to think about, who would you go with for the best data speeds, voice/call quality are actually not the most important factor to me?
-
Still, bottom line is, whether or not it's the case, the result is we feel abandoned by Sprint at this point. When the contract is up, if nothing has happened, I'm jumping ship.

Ever have an experience changing the PRL on a Galaxy S4? I've tried with the xshortcut app and get nothing but "The Samsung DM service has stopped" error.

Check this thread out: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2198-network-visionlte-new-orleans-market/?p=90231 I know it's New Orleans centric, but the "how to" portion is universal.
-
So this is the tower picked up from the airport? Just guessing based upon the coordinates in the screenshot e127nb posted.
-
My address on their files would be Rio Rathole, while my # has a Boston, MA area code though...still, no text for me anyway.
-
Drat, I missed some post which have since been deleted, methinks. Rats!
-
I was in the same Dillard's yesterday (unfortunately) and was getting horrible service. However, not joke, the sheer number of people there was frightening and I suppose the nearest switch could have been a little overwhelmed. I nearly jumped for joy when my girlfriend agreed, it wasn't worth the efforts to be in that store on that day and we left.
-
How can it be considered to be even a partial LTE launch in the ABQ region? I don't know of a single tower connected via LTE in the entire place.
-
Ugh, just got back from a couple days in Dallas, it's such a tease when you get to utilize 4G and have to come back to the 3rd world nation that is the greater Albuquerque area.
-
I'd love to know exactly what the backhaul install process truly entails. Is it just them plugging a few things in? Is it running all sorts of fiber down miles and miles of underground duct work? What exactly is taking so long?
-
Just ran a speed test of my own. Again, this is from inside my building which is adjacent to one of the currently empty US Forestry offices, got a 297 ping and a craptacular .44 Mbps down, .35 Mbps up. Usual rotten performance.
-
I'm just a block from you, off Sun Avenue and San Francisco and barely obtain a Sprint signal in my office, in fact I roam for much of the day when I'm in my building. Pretty pathetic.
-
Hmmm...I work off Jefferson, but south of Paseo, I assume @TheCUJuan was at the Safelight or whatever auto glass joint that is on Jefferson just north of Arby's. Isn't there a tower just across the street from there, along the arroyo? I see Sensorly's map is now showing 4G in T or C and Elephant Butte. Who's running that backhaul, is it not Centurylink? Probably not as it's actually taken place.
