Someone correct me if I am wrong but it looks like the CDMA 800 mass switch turn on just kicked in. Look at the latest market update thread. Even Ericsson markets saw some 800 love.

No you're right I also noticed this. On the 10th the Philadelphia Metro area had 53 cdma 800 upgrades.

I know someone switching from AT&T to Sprint next November, since Network Vision should be complete, how will Sprints coverage compare to AT&T? Specifically in the Philadelphia Metro Area.

You need LTE in your house when your grampa is streaming Netflix

and you want to stream youtube but you cant because you have a crap connection like this

 

You ever consider changing the password on him xD

That's fine, you should just stick with voice on 1x, and use WIFI when at home instead of 3G/LTE.

It's because EVDO is on 1900Mhz and 1x is on 800Mhz. Your voice/slower 3G data coverage is greater but you "high speed" 3G data has worse building penetration. Eventually LTE will have the same signal as your 1x does currently.

Ok thanks! I'm good with my 20 meg download on wifi. i just want to know when i can fully take advantage of my unlimited plan  and eventually have better than my wifi speeds.

Can anyone answer this question? I use an airave because i used to have terrible signal in my home but recently i unplugged my airave to check my signal since 3g has been rolling out on 800 mhz and i had full signal but it was on 1x and whenever i switched to 3g i had 2 bars compared to 5 on 1x. What exactly can be causing that and when network vision is complete will i have the same signal on 3g and LTE as 1x now?
