Ahhhh, the tease. I meant to post this last Thursday but you know, life and stuff. I was walking my dog along the highline canal by Mississippi Ave and Leetsdale (along Fremont Cemetery) when it happened. On my single band iPhone 5 the LTE logo appeared, just a few hundred yards from my house. But then, before I had a chance to run a pointless speedtest or download season 2 of Girls, it was gone. Poof. And it hasn't been back since. I know it's coming soon and it will be glorious, but that tease is making the wait that much harder. FYI, I finally decided to stop being a freeloader and just paypal'd some scratch as a thank you for the great time I've had participating on this board. Thank you everyone for your great contributions and consistently positive dialogue. This has been one of the best boards I've been on in my 50* some years on the internet. *approximately, I'm bad with numbers and dates.

According to this site www.cellularinsider.com/lirpa0114/jk Sprint has announced the decision to move Denver's launch to 2015 siting "Denver already has too many things going for it. When you considering the high standard of living, great geography and multiple professional sport franchises, we here at Sprint don't currently feel the Denver market wouldn't appreciate our Network enhancements nearly enough." The Spokesperson goes on to say "Growing up in Cleveland and Kansas City, I felt it would be irresponsible for Sprint to launch LTE in Denver despite the majority of our sites being near completion."

My guess is that by the end of April the metro area will be near 50-60% complete which might appear to the average user as complete. Meaning that LTE will be relatively common in most suburban areas, a little patchy in places, etc. Then by the end of June, 95% of the upgraded sites will be online and functioning as expected. (This assumes that at any time at least 5% of sites require some kind of maintenance.) That's just my guess based on watching the project so far but I could be waaaaay off. I literally have zero expertise in this area.

Dear Sprint, As you know, Opening Day for the Rockies is fast approaching and you're probably just as excited as I am. I was thinking it would be a great omen for the new season if you were to make the majority of the Denver Sensorly map purple with LTE coverage by opening day. I know I asked you for something similar with the Superbowl and while I'm not blaming you specifically for that loss, I'm also not, not blaming you either. Please make this happen so we can win the NL pennant this year. Yours Truly, J_GAG

Although it's probably more related to the snow or sun spots or whatnot, but for the first time I'm able to get 3g at my desk today (-91 db on my iphone5) . I work in the Galleria bldg on Colorado blvd (the gold building next to Shotguns that blinds everyone). I never get more than 1x at my desk as long as I can remember.

I just got back from a business trip to Philly and all I have to say is wow. I know it will be some time before the Denver market reaches that level but I was extremely impressed with the network out there. I did pull some speed test but honestly the numbers weren't crazy impressive. What was impressive was that it "barely" mattered if I was on 3g on LTE. Video, large email attachments, news feeds all loaded quickly. The whole user experience was incredibly responsive. LTE was certainly quicker, but even when I only had 3g it was still noticeably better than here. Unfortunately, seeing how good it's going to be is only going to make waiting for that much harder Can volunteer my weekends to assist laying backhaul?

*butt held* Granted I feel a little awkward walking around with my hands on my butt, but I trust Merlin on this one. ~I'm dreaming a fast Christmas, Not like the ones I used to know. Where the data is speedy, and connections aren't greedy, and Pandora is streaming all day long.~ My apologies to Irving Berlin
