  1. So LTE shouldn't be too far away, mid - October IMO. I just can't wait for LTE deployed over 800mhz. Better LTE speeds and better coverage. Any thoughts on when 800 LTE might be up?
  2. At this time, would it be beneficial to purchase a triband/Spark Sprint phone, i.e. would it be able to pick up more than one band?
  3. So my contract is coming up for renewal in a few weeks. Before I go out and get a new phone (currently on iphone 5) I was hoping the Community could answer the following: Are there sites transmitting LTE over band 26 and/or band 41 yet in the UCV Market? Also, how soon "should" the UCV be SPARK ready? Thanks in advance ????
  4. You mean there is light at the end of the tunnel, Sacramento should be cluster launched in a few weeks?!?
  5. I think we all feel the pain but, I for one, am going to stick around and see what Sprint's data speeds will be when SPARK is up and fully running. I dont know if its a Sprint tower but there are crews working in West Sac and I've been back & forth between 3G and 1x on my iphone today.
  6. Same scenario, but in the upstairs bathroom, and I get about 5mbps on band 25 in Elk Grove. Downstairs, no LTE.
  7. LTE 1900 and 2.5Ghz is fine and dandy but depending upon the coverage and penetration of LTE 800 will be the only reason I stay, or leave, sprint. Does anyone have any experience with LTE 800 than can speak to its speeds and penetration in buildings?
  8. I spoke to sprint today, *611, and the rep said downtown towers should be complete by September and then transmitting LTE 800 by late January. Does that jive with what is known by the sponsors?
  9. My iphone 5 has been bouncing between 3G, LTE, which is 'normal', but recently it's also going onto 1x, ????. I'm curious to know, is there 800mhz LTE either currently transmitting or being worked on (1) in Elk Grove, (2) specifically around Franklin Blvd and Elk Grove Blvd?
  10. Faint signal must have been from the tower at the golf course then, I assume. Thanks Lilotimz
  11. Gosh darn it, Lilotimz, if I didn't already know that but I forgot at the same time. Thanks for pointing it out. I was sitting across the street and was picking up a faint LTE signal. My SpeedTest speeds have been slower after performing an update on my phone and Sprint said that one or two towers are down in this area. Might they be optimizing?
  12. New equipment in Elk Grove, Over by Nestling Circle? https://www.dropbox.com/s/qif8oars5mapkip/Photo%20Jul%2016%2C%205%2034%2036%20PM.jpg
  13. I live in Elk Grove and was getting LTE on my iphone 5 around town and getting nice speeds. I updated my phone today (##UPDATE#) and I swear my LTE is spotty and speeds are slower. Am I just imagining this or is this really happening?
  14. I have 1 or 2 areas that I know I'll always get a dropped call, I'm not concerned about that. The issue I mentioned above occurs in Elk Grove (cluster launched) and in parts of Sacramento (not cluster launched). I can't say this only occurs when I call to another carrier, it sometimes even happens to a landline.
  15. Thanks for the explanation. I have had some dropped calls lately which are attributed to this, I'm sure. I've also had another issue too where it takes 30 seconds for the phone to place a call, meaning I hit the "call" button to place the call and it literally takes 30 seconds before the phone starts to ring. What could the issue be there, and it's not a busy tower/network issue??
  16. So once an area gets cluster launched with LTE, are the speeds realized then the "best they will get?"
  17. Heres a pic of antennas on 65th expressway next to the SF Supermarket. Are any of them Sprint? https://db.tt/eGq2qQIG
  18. When Elk Grove gets LTE cluster launched/upgraded; will that include 800mhz? When might that happen?
  19. So I just pulled 24.8 Mbps down and 6.9 up in Elk Grove on my iphone 5. ???? I can't wait for Sprint to finish up SPARK.
