Are you talking about the other LTE bands rolling out? If so then yes they will. More likely than not LTE 800, also referred to band 26, is getting installed and activated at the same time as LTE 1900, which is band 25 and the default band all LTE phones support. Then sometime over the next year they will go back and install additional panels that support LTE 2600, band 41.

Hot damn! 4G at my house finally!!!! Slow right now, but hopefully that'll change soon!

Ok thanks!!!

Well damn! I do have the old one! So it'll eventually roll out?

Keep in mind though, your phone only does LTE on 1900 (Band 25)

Explain Please

So after acceptance, roughly how long till there is 4G?

Around 35th street and Harrison Street

Give me an idea of the area you are talking about, cause I see a lot of 800mhz LTE acceptance in the past 45 days. What device are you on?

Sprint sucks, I'm still getting downloads of 0.2 MB in central Davenport ..what's the hold up for the rest of the QC??

The important thing to know is that all of the sites in the Quad Cities area have 4G equipment installed, which means that once bakchaul arrives at the site, it will be a quick turnaround to get LTE running.

Awesome! Thanks for your response too !

Oh ok, thanks for the clarification!

i'm not sure what you mean?

I don't understand what you mean by legacy and "waiting on backhaul to get to all the 3G only accepted sites so they can turn LTE on." Basically I'm wondering when the rest of the Quad Cities will have 4G.

other than 10 sites that are still legacy east iowa is basically done as far as initial acceptances go. they are just waiting on backhaul to get to all the 3G only accepted sites so they can turn LTE on.

What does that mean for the rest of the Quad Cities?

Not that I've seen :-(

3G upgrades are here in the metro Quad Cities! Last week I was lucky to get 0.2MBit down in town and now it's pretty amazing! This is at Augustana College:

 

Ok thanks

Do you guys know when a specific tower will be upgraded? 3G in my central Davenport house is pathetic, and virtually unusable I can't even usually load this website with no pictures or animation

It also helps to set Sensorly to only upload over WiFi. I've found that my HTC ONE connects to LTE faster than I think to look for it sometimes. I don't even bother with LTE Discovery most of the time now.

That's the phone I got! I'll try sensorly on Wi-Fi upload

The LTE discovery app set to Cycle while not connected to LTE is your best friend when mapping out LTE.

Very helpful, downloaded, thanks!

were you using data the whole time? maybe streaming internet radio? i ask because if your phone is on 3G and starts an active data connection it won't try to look for 4G until data stops being used or you lose 3G all together.

That's it! I was using sensorly from Iowa trying to map, you're right, I shut off sensory past Menards and it switched to 4G... thanks!

Is it normal for them to shut off 4G? It was 3G all the way down John Deere Road from 74 to Menards when it was 4G almost a week ago

I went on JD Rd from Walmart to Milan parkway

I picked up 4G by Moline Walmart!! I'll sensorly map it. Although I'm struggling to get to 1 mb

Sounds good! Hopefully we'll have it very soon.

the site is south of john deere going towards the airport on 74,I wonder if it isnt broadcasting yet?

Ya, maybe they were testing it or something. I drive around there 4 days a week for work, I'll keep an eye on my phone and update everyone when I see 4G

nevermind I found the app for the record I drove on 74 from John Deere Road to Airport Road and then west to the Rock Island Milan Parkway no 4G for me
