I too have noticed some increased speeds on 3g, in the valley but i have also been seeing 1x alot more lately i hope that is indicative of work being done...

Believe it or not, the palm tree towers in Phoenix fit right in. They are a bit taller then the average palm, but from a distance, you can't even tell its a cell phone tower.

They look ok when near palm trees its the ones that are out in the middle of nowhere and well over twice as tall as any palm tree on the planet that just look wrong.. I have one down the road from me off hardy and university in tempe that i didnt even notice was there till i sitting at the light something caught my eye and i noticed it, i lived next to it for 2 years that one blends in.. theres one off the 202 in mesa that stands out so bad that i think its worse than any of them i have seen.. its more of an eye sore than if they just left the tower out in the open, you expect a tall tower, you probably wouldnt even look at it twice, but a 100 foot palm tree now that gets attention lol

There is something going on in phoenix area.. 3g towers will go offline.. ill be running 1x in areas I normally get all 5 bars. Then back 3g full bars half hour later.3g got an upgrade or two at the airport recently I noticed at work some really nice speeds between terminal 3 and 4 by the faa tower...

Have you heard any rumblings about lte in the phx metro area? Vzw launched here... att is here... tmobile though not real 4g... better 3g is here as well. I feel like I have been stood up at the dance by sprint... I would hope that as they are upgrading speed and connectivity issues they would also be doing nv upgrades and lte as well.. I would hope...
