Mapped it with Sensorly!

 

It has been about 2 months since I have posted this picture, now NWA has blown up!

I have recently sold my iPhone 5 and got an HTC One. That being the case I will start heavily mapping NWA (Benton and Washington Counties) using Sensorly.

I have noticed quite a few locations in Bentonville and Rogers come online recently. Sprint is doing a good job up here rolling out NV.

Where at? There is LTE popping up all over Arkansas. A new site or two every day.

Sorry I was referring to my area. North West Arkansas. So far from what I can tell we have one active site.

Here we are in July and still no LTE. Maybe my expectations are unreasonable but the only reason I switched back to Sprint was because I was told we would have it by June.

I am starting to become impatient! If 3G wasn't so slow or would be workable but man, this is getting old!

Most of the time sprint stores just tell you something to tell you something. Mostly when it comes to when 4G is coming.

I have a good friend that works at Best Buy and he confirmed that it was in fact supposed to be rolled out middle of June.He claims they got some memo or something like that...

All I know is I can't wait! I work from my iPad and phone so much its not funny...I need the 4G's!

Also called Sprint today and spoke with someone at the local store in Bentonville. She said that LTE was supposed to be on and active middle of June but there have been some technical issues and they are working on it.

Anyone else tried calling to see what they have to say?

I'm headed up to Rogers in a bit to map with Sensorly. Will post map and results when done.

Speeds have increased too. Almost 22 down and close to 7 up. Awesome compared to 3G!!

I haven't had a chance to get the phone up to the LTE site, but we are getting eHRPD here:

Bloody fingers

What's the point of this?

My mom has an EVO 4G LTE, I am going to see if I can borrow that and get something to show up on the map...otherwise I will head out tonight and fire up sensorly.

Of course since Apple doesn't let you map in Sensorly, just post a screenshot of a map application with your location so people can see.

I actually looked to see if Sensorly worked on the iPhone but I must have overlooked the app.

I have it now so I will see what i can do w/ LTE and the app....

Below is a rough estimate of the coverage...I drove around for quite a while...inside the polygon is a general idea where I was getting service...from 1 to full bars.

In Northwest Arkansas between Exit 78 and 81 on 540 there is an active LTE site.

I stopped in at the Walmart in Pleasant Grove and got full bars in the entire area surrounding Wal-Mart...posted below is the tests.

Very very quick compared 3G!

I do all of my testing using the official speedtest.net application. My server of choice is Bixby OK.
