I don't like the sound of a patchy local network, I might get a work phone in the next year or two- they use Sprint. I'll wait until then to try it out. Thanks for the info folks.

Hey guys, so how did it all turn out in Sacramento? My contract with Verizon ends in roughly a half year, wondering if it's worth it to come back at that time? Verizon is expensive, especially considering that they don't have unlimited data. Other than that, the service has been awesome. Except for a couple weird places I went to along the coast, I always have had signal and data. Other than that, in Sacramento my phone service has been solid. Has sprint reached this level of service in Sacramento?

I think that Sprint will implement the throttle, especially after people realize that they aren't stuck on the older unusable 3G.

Just wait it out a bit longer. For me, verizon just suddenly gave me an extra 4 gigs of data (for the life of my service) so I'm going okay with 8 gigs a month. I will eventually come back to sprint I'm guessing but now I'm in no rush since I'm no longer in danger of always running over my plan limit.

You go girl!

So let me get this straight, Sprint is claiming the Sacramento market to be officially lit up with 4G LTE now, right?

Cool. I'm excited to see how things progress. Not excited about paying an ETF in order to come back though.

Anything new and exciting or are we basically at the end now waiting for back haul?

I have a question for you kind folks: My current plan is to wait until the Note 4 to becomes available in October before I switch back to sprint. Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not I should come back to sprint this upcoming month (say... Oct 17th after the Note 4 releases) or wait a few more months? I'm speaking in regard to LTE. I know it's spotty right now but on the Sensorly maps, it *seems* like overall LTE is hitting most of the Sacramento suburbs and covers the 80 and 50 corridors all the way to downtown Sac where I work.

Anything new and exciting?

How is this pace related to a cluster launch? I'm confused.

I don't know but I'm getting tired of data caps on Verizon already and waiting for things to develop just a bit further before I switch back to Sprint.

Is the Galaxy S5 a tri band phone?

So that's by muir park and the blue diamond almonds factory. Very cool.

Can you check the garage at R & 15th? Or has that already been verified? It looks like Sprint dropped their prices and is offering a buyout deal right now (even for single plans) so I might jump back over right away while the deal is still around.

It's that heavily populated mono pole on the corner of Greenback and Hazel where that Wireless Toyz building is right? It looks heavily populated to me at least, when I drive past it.

awesome! OV mutha f*cka! Sorry, couldn't resist.

That's great. I have direct line of sight to that tower from my back yard.

Is this the one at Mt Vernon cemetery?

Earlier this year when I still had sprint, I drove up to Eureka and passed through a couple sections with no service. I am guessing that I experienced no data service for about a total of 1 1/2 hours out of the 5(ish) hour drive. Was bummed out but there are a lot of hills and trees around that probably don't help much. Not sure about the south bound drive, never tried to stream music or used a service that required constant data usage while driving south. I would assume that it would be better since the land is pretty flat. I'll probably end up switching back anyway. As long as I can listen to spotify on my normal morning commute with no interruptions.

I'm interested in knowing how good coverage will be while traveling (driving) long-ish distances. For example, if I'm driving up I-5 or 99, I wonder how spotty the coverage will be as all the remaining Sprint covered areas get updated to 4G LTE. As of right now, my current service, verizon, has me connected darn near everywhere I go. I'm trying to decide if the trade off for unlimited data is worth it for the loss in coverage. Thoughts?

I work in midtown too, it is (was, since I canceled service) pretty much unusable. I was often getting around .07 down and .15 up. Sometimes no signal at all even when outside- completely unacceptable.

I'm just excited for the future as long as they keep offering unlimited plans. I dropped sprint and went for verizon a while back so I'm well covered on 4G LTE until sprint gets its act together. I might actually just stick with verizon after recently seeing how thick their coverage is though. The difference is pretty major so sprint has to show not only some massive speed upgrades but coverage area upgrades as well. Unlimited nothing plans are worthless afterall.

Ah man, that is my neighborhood. Awesome.
