So I spoke to a Sprint Engineer about the upgrades in this area as I have a business line and after finding the right person they were great. They sent me a Airave for free to solve the issues at my house.. So in short the 800mhz upgrades on the towers covering Evans City and the rest of Butler(except downtown) are not done yet. They should be by the end of January.. They are expecting the area to be upgraded to LTE by the end of march. possibly sooner once they get the backhaul to the towers He also said there are directional coverage issues with the Evans City Tower that will go away once they install the 800mhz cluster equipment.

Well they appear to have done something today As I now have 3 bars almost constant. But still no 3G

Interesting... LTE is running great in Cranberry and the Mars area.. I remember at least in the Cranberry Area months before LTE lit up... even though speeds were horrible, the 3G was still up and running... I am not sure why Evans City has been so bad during there tower upgrade.. It almost seems like the turned the entire tower off the last several months. I would be shocked to see everything fixed by Wednesday as they are saying

Not trying to post sprint complaints. However the tower that covers my area used to produce fast 3G speeds as early as June this summer. Now in the same spot I am luck to get 2 bars of 1x. Only thing I get from Sprint is the tower is being upgraded. Seems odd it should be this bad during this

They need to get off there rears with some of these upgrades. The tower in evans city off 528 is supposed to be upgrades to LTE on the 27th. They need to move it because coverage in this area has been horrible for 6 months
