This waiting game is killing me. If they could just say something else about it or give us some kind of time frame. They've announced it and said it's a done deal, I don't see why it's so hard to authorize us all for network use. ): Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Sprint just doesn't want the work involved in building a network here. It's easier to threaten little nTelos into speeding things up and allow us to use their network. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They just need to stop being stubborn and flip the switch, then focus on improving the rest of their network so they can change their bad reputation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am aware, but it live in Beckley that's how I was putting it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sprint Corporation (“Sprint,” NYSE: S) and NTELOS Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: NTLS) today announced that Sprint and NTELOS Inc. (“nTelos”) reached an amended agreement to extend their Strategic Network Alliance (“SNA”) through 2022. Under the agreement, nTelos will continue to serve as the exclusive network provider for Sprint in the SNA territory, which covers approximately 2.1 million people in West Virginia and the western part of Virginia. In addition, Sprint customers will gain access to nTelos’s recently launched 4G LTE network and nTelos will have access to Sprint’s 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz and 2.5 GHz spectrum throughout the territory. nTelos plans to maximize the network experience for both its retail and wholesale customers by committing to expand and build its 4G LTE network in the SNA territory to specifications aligned with Sprint’s network modernization program. Pulled that off of the Sprint website, described it much easier. They've launched LTE in Beckley.... So now all they need is to allow us to connect! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So nTelos has extended the agreement to include LTE service. We are just waiting for nTelos to open the doors for us right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's currently released on B25 1900mhz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just turned on my LTE, trying to connect if possible..... After toggling airplane mode on and off repeatedly, no connection. Maybe some carrier update is needed. Or some OTA update to the towers themselves....? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So..... After reading bits and pieces.... Do we have access to LTE now..? Or when will we have access? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would at least like to know what exactly is holding it all back... It sucks how in the dark we are about it. They announce the whole CCA deal but nothing really followed yet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How soon would you estimate or think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If this means that we should be able to use nTelos LTE here soon then I should be getting it any down now. Almost 4 months since they launched it in Beckley WV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really hope they can pull this off quickly, this is something sprint needs desperately! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dropped Pinnear 1 Chesapeake Ln, Beckley, WV 25801 http://goo.gl/maps/Hzn9c If you go there and look you can see that there was nothing there, and google maps just recently updated the map data for my area (End summer early fall). Or a more simple answer. Across from the Beckley Plaza Mall beside Dominos and Dunkin Donuts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes? What about it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is one other place I've seen thin panels like that. But they're 2 panels side by side not single ones. It's about the same height too. That site has confused me as well. The place where that photo was taken was a place where a year ago there was nothing. They were first put on an old telephone pole around fall, then transferred onto a "mini" tower as a permanent place shortly after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, nTelos just constructed this site about a week ago it's only about 30 feet off the ground. Those panels and RRU's are gigantic! Now I understand why they call them beast panels! They were hooking up the fiber when I took this picture earlier. Too bad I can't enjoy the LTE once it's competed. ): Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The first photo is a site that has been there since about the fall. It's very low to the ground, around 30 feet like the one in photo #2. They are side by side but the one in photo #2 was just constructed about a week ago, they were hooking up the fiber when I took the photo today. I'm positive that the 2nd photo is Sprint (nTelos in this case) but the 1st has always confused me as to what it is. Anyone able to tell from the photograph? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've never been there personally but, looking at nTelos' own maps it looks fine coverage wise. No idea if you'll get NV like speeds or not.

Depressing. By the time there would be a build out or an agreement reached I think it would be too late for most people, for me anyways it will be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been getting them. Some people do some don't.

Just kinda looking around Sensorly out of boredom when I noticed this.... Someone recorded a Sprint LTE signal pretty deep into nTelos territory... At least according to the maps. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Enjoy it, I had that around the start of the network upgrades. Now it is rare to hit 2. Now the average is about 100ms ping with .3-.8 down and consistent .7-.8 up. Although that was before the carrier hack for the iPhone, now I go above 1 more often but I still dont get those good speeds like i used to in most spots. And I have a direct line of site to 3 different towers at home, housing VZW, AT&T, USC, and nTelos. It's almost as if they had a large influx of customers on the network after Christmas and its bogging down the network or something.... :/

I haven't gotten around to asking anybody in store. I remember when I was going through the nightmare of activating my 5S at the Sprint store I made a comment about how I wish I could connect to LTE and he just said "Yeah me too. They're working on it" and i mentioned how their coverage is dependent on nTelos and he completely ignored me.
