  1. RT @Met_Ed: @blonde1117 Crews work 16 hr shifts thru the restoration effort. They do get breaks & meals during shift. It's dangerous ...

  2. I really think once all the 800 sites come on their coverage will be better than Verizon's. I'm on vacation in West Virginia and have NO service, and a few times I have caught 1 bar or so on my phone - and according to Signal Check it's said 1xRTT 800. No need to roam on VZW when our coverage is better! It's just too bad this can't happen NOW. But, maybe the timing is better - give people more time to get more fed up with VZW and any one else as their LTE networks get bogged down and then come over to Sprint.
  3. This is what they should do for marketing Sprint after NV is complete ... take identical phones and show side by side how Sprint will always win :-)
  4. Me too! I have no cable at my house, and won't have DSL until next October sometime (2014) (required from Verizon by state law), so I'm hoping LTE will be a nice bridge between the two. We have a Mifi right now, and it has been a bit better, lately, but still slow. And it disconnects randomly all the time.
  5. I'm on vacation near Lost River, WV, and caught some 800 here ... there is NO reception for many miles down WV Route 259, but I caught one glimpse of 800 in one spot. My phone doesn't even roam - says no service!
  6. I remember last year getting speeds like 1-5-1.6 down near the Home Depot on Lehigh St. Now speeds there soooooooo slow. I also got something crazy like 2.4 down in the parking lot of Rite Aid on Tilghman Street & Route 100 some time last year. Never happened again!
  7. I'm on vacation in West Virginia...there is 4G LTE in random small towns in the WV mountains, but not yet in most of the Lehigh Valley! Hopefully by the time I come home next Saturday there will be some more 4G spots! (Yes, I realize WV is in the Shentel area, so that is probably why there is LTE here already.)
  8. I drove past local towers trying to figure out if they have fiber backhaul yet... ...LTE must be coming.
  9. I obsessively check a forum that nobody I talk to could even understand.. LTE must be coming!
  10. Happens to me on my HTC EVO 4G LTE, but running on 3G. Also happened to my sister on her GSII.
  11. Ditto. We have 4 smart phones plus a Mifi with 12GB on the Everything Data Share 1500 plan and pay ~$281 a month. With 4 people and the unlimited mobile-to-mobile for any carrier we've NEVER gotten anywhere close to using 1500 minutes. So I really don't see why it's necessary to have "unlimited" anytime minutes.
  12. The flames were huge. I saw live footage on channel 6 Action News at noon today. Crazy!
  13. Anyone see this on the news? http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/gallery?section=news/local&id=9147259&photo=1 2200 block of Byberry Rd in Bensalem. Was it a Sprint tower? NV?
  14. Mine look compressed when I connect to my Mifi, but nothing THAT bad!
  15. I've lived in the Lehigh Valley all 26 years of my life and I despise the people who say Beth-lum. It has 3 syllables for a reason! Then there's the people that say Beth-LEE-hem, too.... drives me crazy! Haven't seen any LTE in Bethlehem yet...
  16. The blips near 78/309 in Center Valley work well...and my phone reliably switches to 4G. I went south on 309 and lost 4G around Lanark Rd. I had picked it up around Summit Lawn.
  17. What was the time frame between when Philly started showing little blips of LTE and where they are now? I think it was like 2 or 3 months.
  18. My service has been TERRIBLE the past week or so in New Tripoli, near Routes 143 & 309. Roaming where I don't usually roam, terrible data, trouble keeping a connection to my Mifi - which is our only internet source. Sprint says a tower was being worked on and was finished on June 5th... it's a little better but not much. Maybe signs of a good thing to come??
