Saw this in the paper today. http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_26361301/t-mobile-leads-cellphone-service-performance-denver

Do you think anything well change for the Full launch of Denver with the new price changes that might be coming down the line later this week?  I am getting LTE most place I drive these days but never been able to lock on to Band 41 with my nexus 5.  I guess the Band 25 is stronger where I am driving on Parker Rd.

Just a heads up for nexus 5 users.

On a side note, has anyone with a Nexus 5 successfully connected to a B41 site in the Denver area?

I have not unlocked the radio's yet.

Just saw this on the Denver Post.

I just read on Android Central Sprint Spark launches in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Waiting to see Denver,CO!

This made me laugh. I enjoy your spirit. And it never hurts to speculate.

 

 

It's interesting to consider this. The big problem with your idea though is that Sprint's Band 41 LTE (Spark TD-LTE 2600) will not work on Triband smartphones without CSFB installed and running on the 3G network that the device is connected to. We write about this here:  http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-357-nexus-5-and-lg-g2-experience-temporary-sprint-lte-connectivity-issues-due-to-circuit-switched-fallback-technology/

 

So if Sprint mad rushes Band 41 LTE (Spark) to all the sites it can in Denver (of which half are already done), then it will just sit there and wait being under utilized until Network Vision upgrades appear and enable CSFB.  As dkoellerwx mentions above, Samsung had to switch gears last Fall and deploy just the 3G side first because of the CSFB problem.

 

And here is the dirty little secret.  Sprint only has a paltry 14 share in Denver.  Only one Top 15 market has less subscribers...San Francisco.  With Network Vision, some places had to be first.  And some places have to be last.  It makes sense for Sprint to do Denver last.  But since Sprint only has 14% of the market (and likely even less now) you can all take solace that a Sprint Triband network when built out will likely be the least burdened of all Top 15 markets.

Wow only 14%.  Holding strong for 11 years.

How do you force it to other channels?  I have a Nexus 5 so might need to do a few search on how to do that.

Good news    ! If you notice any interesting changes(4G:B25,B26,41, MMS), can you let us know?  

 

I spent Saturday in Castle Rock and wasn't to impressed with the data connectivity on my G2. Band 25 eventually connected on its own but after moving around town some it wouldn't pick back up. So far, around Aurora/Littleton/Cent. I only get B41 by forcing it or if I stay in a spot that has crappy 3g but some LTE covg.

I just recived the text now also.  Open the gates on the new LTE in Denver!

SprintFreeMsg: Over the next month, the new network will be largely completed in your area.

I have been on the look out at Parker and 225 since I go by that everyday but have not seen anything on yet.  Just like waiting for Christmas as a little kid.  Can't wait for them to get it turned on.

Dkoellerwx, Trust me that is what I thought also!

I just purchased a Nexus 5 phone and was getting a sim for it at the store.  The employee said that the LTE Signals travel better at higher altitude compared to sea level is there any truth to that?

I found the forum the other day and pretty happy to hear we might be close.  I started to give up on Sprint because we are so far behind the race.  I am in Technology and understand how hard it is to get things updated.  It is also hard when your phone can hardly pull and content down from the web!  Thanks for the time people have taken to post what is going on.  It might keep me on Sprint Network a little longer now since it finally seems that we are almost at the Finish line.
