  1. I drive from I-15 & Adams (roughly) to I-15 and Rancho Bernardo Rd. It appears that between Poway and Carmel Mountain Ranch that you get either 4G or nothing at all. I have noticed when using streaming music apps that it's just long pauses during that time, and calls go straight to voice mail. PRLs updated, profiles updated, etc. HTC One Looks like O'Side/Clairemont/PB/MB/anything by I-5 is getting upgraded, but off of I-15, not so much.
  2. BTW, spoke to Sprint cust svc and this time apparently got a knowledgeable rep. She said from her "tool" she can see 338 (or was it 388?) towers being actively worked on, but that realistically, it's going to be a few more months before our market goes 4G everywhere. This was a refreshing bit of honesty. When I was in Best Buy a few months back, a Sprint rep (from the corp office, not just a sales rep) said they were working on towers everywhere and we'd be getting text messages in mid-July indicating the roll-out. Bucdenny:Thanks for spelling out all the process with licensing/permits for back-haul, etc. It would seem that any cellular org of this size would already be familiar with the processes for each city and would have been prepared for the red tape, backlog/backhaul issues and would have planned accordingly. Not bashing, just observing... I had a 4g-capable phone 2+ yrs ago on my first contract and never had 4g locally the entire two years... but thanks to educational posts about NV in this forum, I renewed and upgraded the phone. Here's to 4g in 3 months, eh?
  3. Hi - I'm in the Talmadge (i.e. about 2 miles from I-8/I-15 intersection) area, and for the last THREE weeks I've been getting dropped calls on nearly every call. Now for the last few days, I'm also getting problems sending standard text messages. Calls to Sprint said "We'll fix it in 2 days," and now updated to, "There are 2 cell towers out and we don't have an ETA on the fix." Also heard/was told that the Nextel towers were to blame for not having any 4G/LTE in San Diego yet, and were being shut off at end of June, then was told they are on IDEN vs CDMA/LTE technology and this was not a factor at all. Lots of alphabet soup, contradictions and excuses. Maybe I should be happy they are saying they don't know, but hell, then I shouldn't be paying for services NOT rendered, either. Anyone else have info/data to share on this aspect?
