  1. Very disappointed in the lack of any recent upgrades in the area. The optimist in me, however, is hoping that one day soon we'll see a wave of site acceptances and get more widespread 4G...

    i hope your right... but i doubt it... i was thinking that when i left there would be widespread 4g in buffalo when i came back for christmas break... not the case.... very little progress (except south towns)

  2. Does accepted mean complete as in speed? Because my 3g Speeds Are The usual slow sprint crap. If this is the improved network I'm just going to cry. Lol

    Speed of 3g could improve with 3g accepted but when ur gonna see a big improvment is when 4g lte is accepted bein everyone with. 4g phone will b off the network.. plus more data speed through them.

  3. Hi del welcome to s4gru... I can tell u there is much work going on in buffalo and since u already noticed it urself ill tell u there has been work in orchard park.. if u consider becoming a sponser u can see a cool updated map on all sprint network work in america.. including if the tower closest to ur house has been updated... ur tower sounds like if it has 3g work done and is waiting on additional backhaul to be able to run 4g! Become a sponser if u want to see it all for urself.

    I live in Orchard Park and about a month ago I received a text from Sprint that they were building an "all new network" in Orchard Park to improve 3G service and "enable 4G." Now I don't know what that means in terms of a timeline before I actually see LTE, but I hope it's not too much longer. What I have noticed so far is that 3G has improved dramatically. I used to get download speeds in the 800-1000 kbps range a month or two ago. Now I am seeing speeds in the 2.1-2.4 Mbps range in the mornings and it only drops to 1.4-1.7 Mbps during the day. Not bad. I work in the Amherst (RidgeLea/NFB) area and speeds have improved greatly there as well. A month ago, 3G was useless there for most of the day. Now I can stream Pandora all day with few hiccups. Needless to say, Sprint is doing something. My hope is that in the areas where I'm seeing these increased speeds Sprint has also put in their 4G equipment and just has not flipped the switch yet, and maybe we'll see more widespread LTE coverage soon.

  4. Why does it seem as though other cities in new York have stronger lte signals, at least according to sensorly? If you look at Albany and Schenectady they have much darker purple on the map than buffalo does? Could their backhaul be "stronger"? Or does this have to do with buffalo being a larger city and therefore probably having more large buildings?

    Hey guys im in oswego, ny right now our lte tower is horrible... lol i miss buffalo lte so much!!!
