how big are they deploying the lte? i used to live in myrtle beach but just moved to Pawleys Island about 10 miles south. I know they just did some tower fixes after the messed up and there was an outage here for a good week and half but data speeds are now 2Mb+. and thats off a virgin mobile phone i use for a hotspot. If anyone know it would help me out because im not sure if i should stay with Verizon or not im on verizon prepaid ( PagePlus) so 3g only and looking for LTE phones now.

 

 

It's too bad they didn't get Clearwire to focus on WiMax deployments in Sprint markets where they are so deficient, like Ft. Wayne.

Sprint told me I should have been happy with the two towers they put up its on clearwires map but I only got it to work one time while driving by our mall.

 

 

Because Ericsson has a contract to do this work and they should have done it quite a long time ago. Ericsson has had a contract to manage the network since 2009. The fact that Sprint is doing work on Network Vision in the future does not relieve Ericsson of their contract obligations. It's better to have a few months of 3G improvements before NV then not at all.

Thanks for the Information.. I just dont like they are havent done that many updates in the last 2 years years only thing that i have seen is the speeds drop.

Sites shown at network.sprint.com show maintenance upgrades that are being performed by Ericsson as part of their National Network management contract. They only are related to voice and 3G network maintenance. Not LTE deployment or Network Vision.

Ok nice to know... still doesnt make any sense to me why they would update a tower if they have to update it again.

The sites listed on the Sprint network site are not related to Network Vision.

Then why would they update the tower just to update it again in just a few months?

I live in Fort Wayne, IN and see on network.sprint.com that a tower downtown has voice upgrade, data capacity upgrade, and data speed upgrade could that mean it got network vision when your site says not till December. I dont have an LTE phone or even sprint right now I went Virgin Mobile till they get LTE. (No reason to over pay when for $30 I get the same thing)
