Its going to take, time. Sprint started to roll out lte very publicly and late there that they first invested on wimax. But it took them about 2 years to get wimax to a point other carriers have their lte networks today.

Unfortunately we started last in this race and we will still come in last, let's just hope they get it right.

Spotted LTE here in braintree around the split.

On the "innovation district" side of the channel today at noon .45 Mbps down and a whopping .03 Mbps up.

At 12:45 on the South Station side of the channel Lte 10.8 Mbps down and 4.36 Mps up.

 

This is like a 5 minute walk, how are these so different? Why doesn't the Lte signal reach?

Physics?

They could also be under powered or not calibrated correctly. They are still in testing so when its on, they might just be doing communications tests and see how everything reports back to the BSC

Anyone getting service in downtown Boston? I'm right in front of south station and not feeling the lte love yet...

The one posted by David279 earlier in this thread:

It says LTE goes online around Barnstable on 9/12 and Eastern MA 9/21.

But remember that though it says that it's going online on that town, depending where you live in the town and which towers they light up you may or may not be in that radius.

Some people in the initial roll out cities had to toggle the network setting from CDMA to CDMA.LTE or something like that. to get LTE to connect. Actually, now that I think about it, it may have only been EVO LTE owners.

Oh, well lots of people manually set their phones to CDMA only because they thought they they would get better battery life and signal strength by doing so. That's why when they lit up LTE in your area they had to switch back, because they had disabled the radio.

Are any of you Boston folks having to do any of the network change setting in the phone that the Atlanta people had to do when launch happened, or is it picking right up when you get in an area..
