Yep, the Disney resort is on constant overload, believe it or not it is much, much improved over a year and a half ago. There are some spots in the parks where you can get 4G but only if it's not too crowded. Downtown Disney I have never gotten better than 3G (we go there alot). There aren't any towers near there but just the other side of the freeway there is full Spark coverage (we stayed at the Sheraton over there a couple times). The best coverage is near Katella in California adventure (there are several towers on the roof of the Marriott and the Convention center accross the street). All in all though if it's really crowded it's going to be a tough one! As recently as a year or so ago though the signal was almost non existent throughout the entire resort. At least the 3g mostly kinda works! LOL! It's not just a Sprint issue, it's just overload in general, too many people trying to post to Facebook and twitter all at once would be my guess. Worse comes to worse a Downtown Disney there is decent wifi in the Disney property hotels that is wide open and usable and also at the Starbucks.

Was last there in January and didn't see any improvements but still incredibly better than even a year ago. I think there is no way that the coverage will get any bettter there on busy days without adding bunches more towers. It's just an overload. I will say the coverage at the convention center accross Katella ave is incredible. Also the toon town small world area is very good. Adventureland, Frontierland and parts of tomorrowland are nearly impossible. I will add I don't think any of the other networks are any better, it's just overload, well ok maybe slightly but.... bad for everyone.

I had 800 very briefly show up in Clovis but not in several months. (like 5 minutes) might have been a test or glitch?

Definitely not Ashlan and First. I Work very near there and that neighborhood is still mostly 3g. No towers nearby enough. It will on rare occasion kick over to 4g but never indoors.

Spark is incredible when and where it's available. Have gotten it in parts of the bay area and So Cal. Can't wait to get it here. Fresno is still very hit or miss. 

Yep, the convention center is incredible! Was able to upload several vids for work at last year's NAMM convention and quickly!

Disneyland and California Adventure is still very hit or miss but OMG improved over a year ago. There are still parts of the parks that are completely dead or very slow 3g and of course the crowd size affects the signal dramatically. One thing about the parks is many of the line queues are underground and there's just no signal there and I don't think there ever will be. Above ground outdoors works very, well in most parts of the parks on normal crowd size days. 

Good most places, meh indoors frequently, some dead zones in highly urban areas that need to get filled in. 

much better than a few months ago, shockingly better actually but still some fill in needed!

No. I'm amazed Bakersfield even has access to electricity.

LOL! True, but they do still have pro hockey and we've been without for a long time now (and this is a huge deal for me personally), so hats off to them on that!

Whoa! Best I've seen in the Valley! 

Maybe one day Sprint will add the extra 10+ towers the market needs to fully cover where people are instead of what the population layout looked in 1995.

For real! That would be great and likely about do it! 

T-Mobile's signal here in Fresno is very spotty for LTE (as is Sprint's so far). Not sure if it is more stable elsewhere but it's great and then horiible a block apart. (and admittedly so is Sprint).

The Clovis rodeo grounds tower is up. Glad that finally happened. My house is stuck between two of them and that's the closer of the two. So, once that one came online we saw a decent bump in performance.

Finally! WOW! Good news!

WOW! Very cool!

Congrats, does seem to be getting consistently more better, LOL! Still on 3G where I work though, bad as ever (but we thankfully have awesome wifi). My work is at Ashlan and Fresno St. which is a pretty big area with no 4g and extra bad 3g. Seems like most of the center part of town along the 41 and Blackstone is pretty weak! Most other areas of town I frequent seem much better. 

I was supposed to be at that fair, but for $1000 for a vendor booth and torturing ourselves for 13 days, it's just not worth it one bit.

We did that one time filling in from the store I work at for another local store that had to give up their booth for the last few days. It's just way too much work so I will say Congrats (though we did rake in some serious cash) we were short stafffed at the fair and at the store and the Fair runs 'til way late in the night adding several work hours to the day! The fair is a fun diversion to attend but working it just plain sucks! 

Sidenote to my last post, they had brought in several portable towers for this event which I thought would have kept up with the damand but apparently not). The 3g was really quite good though, not sure what gear all those towers were running though, maybe it was the old gear they had just taken down from around town? (LOL!). 

Here's a tip, went to the fair today.

LTE was great when we got there but by about 1:00 PM it would do nothing, speedtest were all just network communication errors, even though it was showing a strong 4g signal, just way too many people. Put my phone in CDMA (3g) only mode and was getting close to 1 mbs download speed which is at least usable. I will need to remember that in high crowd situations in the future (probably should have tried that at Disneyland last week). The 3g was at least fast enough to be able to upload the photos I was trying to send.(It was really packed at the fair today when we left by 4:00!). 

I also noticed three towers with the old equipment removed today. WOW! For some reason I wasn't expecting that. Hope it means even more progress. 

Those are some great speeds in Fresno!woo hoo!

Clovis ave at Ashlan has 4g this morning! WOOT!

LTE at Cedar and Ashlan. Very strong there. 

Sensorly also showing on in Pinedale, just one dot of it but WOW! HERE WE GO! 

FOR REAL! Wow, I'm a bit south of there and nothing yet, bummer! BUT WOW!
