    Just jumping in to confirm no service in downtown Lansing. It worked fine at home in Mulliken 48861 around 7am.

    Came here to say just that. Much better today.

    They tend to be at low power when first turned on. The one closest to my house was steadily ramped up over two weeks.

    I think the map on http://coverage.sprint.com is very much generous, showing seamless coverage from Lake Odessa to Williamstown. I drive from south of Portland to Lansing every day and drop LTE about two miles west of Grand Ledge, then pick up LTE somewhere near the central downtown Lansing area on 496. I'm not convinced that 'all' are 'on' at this point, even after being publicly announced. I'm not sure if "launching" is simply acknowledging LTE service in the area or an invitation to use it. Coverage is a ton better than it was a month ago, but in this area if you're on 3G you can forget doing anything at all.

    Don't know about Horrocks but I was at the Gander Mountain across the street (almost) and had a strong LTE signal.

    I was driving the I96/M66/M43 areas today and got a solid 4G connection from at least Lake Odessa (when I noticed it) to Sunfield to Mulliken. Sensorly is crap on this phone but I think I got at least some of it mapped.

    network.sprint.com showed nothing for the tower I can see from my house last week. When LTE went live yesterday it suddenly shows 'data speed upgrade.' Keep watching.

    I'm gonna try again on the way home.

    Oops, my mistake. Got a little too excited seeing the 4G icon. I tried to map out but sensorly wasn't working again. Can't wait to get rid of this phone. Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2

    Well, my whining worked. The tower closest to my home (M43 between Mulliken and Sunfield) is suddenly "on." I turned off my WIFI this morning and saw the 4G icon and had to do a speed test. It runs a consistent 3MB up and down with bursts of speedy brilliance. Bunch of happy here.

    I work south of the Stadium at Michigan and Larch. I can get a decent LTE lock when my Viper is pointed out a south-looking window. Can't wait for upgrade time, this Viper is murder.
  12. SteveK
    Yeah, I'm good with that. I'm just boggled by which towers get it over others; there doesn't seem to be a pattern around here. Lansing seems to have 1/10 of the towers done but the Potterville area is rife with LTE from Charlotte to Dimondale. Like I said in my other post, I'm just worried about the tower I can see from here since it seems to be the bastard of the area. But then, maybe if I had a decent phone (Viper) I could see a difference.

    I'm pissy because I don't have LTE here. In the 'area,' I've seen consistent progress in the last six months but I'm worried about the tower nearest here, a former IPCS tower. It just got 3G data five years ago. Six miles away in every direction is a 10MB LTE signal but here, nooooo. Disclaimer: I'm on the border of the East Michigan/West Michigan markets so I follow both.
  14. SteveK
    Either and/or both. Corporate answer.

    Every device is inferior to some other device. If you're paying for it and you like it, problem solved. I agree with other posts here; T-Mobile may have some geographical coverage now (NONE near me) but I see them growing the customer base like Sprint did and eventually running into the same capacity problems Sprint is just now crawling out of.
