I took BART from Oakland to SF via Trans-Bay tunnel and I noticed a very strong 3G signal but no LTE love from Sprint. T-Mobile was all the way LTE, although their speeds were not great at times.
-
I was at the Airport in Oakland yesterday and yes B26 has been rolled out pretty strong but within Terminal 1 you have B25 running. Speeds on B25 are about 10MB down and outside, B26 is running about 15MB. As soon you get to the BART station you have B41 at speeds of 30+MB. -
Sprint not participating in the 600 MHz auction (report)
orangeblue replied to Rawvega's topic in General Topics
You are seeing this short term. Remember, Sprint has enough spectrum and needs to use it first. Adding yet another radio, or switching current radios is additional capex. You need to have handsets that use the spectrum and there is currently no device able to handle the 600Mhz. Sprint has 800Mhz nationwide. Let other companies battle it out and just buy the other companies later. You need high capacity bands and Sprint is the only carrier within the 2.5Mhz band. If they're able to blanket cities with B41 towers, you will not need 600Mhz coverage. And rural coverage, well do roaming and use 800Mhz you already own. -
Actually you should see this on all new publications and TV spots. Small change but still nice
-
If you look at the logo, before and now you see that the pin-drop logo was placed on top. It was before always right of the name.
-
I don't know if you noticed that Sprint updated their logo. The old logo used to have the name followed by the yellow pin drop. The new logo shows the name under the pin drop logo. Sorry, can't cut and paste the old/new logo but its a small update which I noticed during CITA too.

I think the Spark icon was nice and I actually prefer it. Not as boring as the LTE or 4GLTE icons
-
Not sure if the 700Mhz band or the lack off is to blame on the bad LTE network. Their network was much better but can't handle the amount of traffic. Speeds have gone down and you get more 4G coverage now in places that had LTE in the past.
-
I noticed this this weekend in Las Vegas, a city that should be fully LTE covered, yet there are some large areas that only provide 4G (HSPA+).
-
This map must include roaming because T-Mobile does not offer roaming in central Nevada. Sprint offers some native coverage.

Deep Dish Pizza is a crime! Pizza crust needs to be thin!

I noticed the last couple of days that TMo's LTE network is more and more replaced by it's 4G network on my iPhone 6plus. Not sure if the LTE network is congested or down.
-
The Spark icon is gone on the Galaxy S6 with update OH
-
LOL, no but I still have the phone running as FreedomPOP free phone. Correct and that is why I am using an LG G3 now.
-
I was yesterday all day in LA and OC and I was able without buffering to watch CNN on my Comcast app. Network was working perfectly along the I-10, I-605, I-105, I-5 and Toll Roads 133, 241, 261.
-
Sure, the site is located on top of an office building on McKeever Ave and Maple Ct. in Hayward with three sectors mounted on different sites of the building. It was so nice to see the WiMax / LTE service (WiMax is still super fast) but since B26 went life, there is not much joy in terms of speed. It seems this site was taken down for LTE.
-
I have seen this in the Bay Area and it was really disappointing because the Clear site is still active as WiMax only, no more LTE but provided much better service. I hope they will convert the site and bring it back online.
-
I was a week ago at O'Hare at Gate L9 and speeds were not that fast.
-
Sprint delivered speeds between 5-10MB down on B25/B26 on my LG G3 while I stayed on Edge/HSPA on TMo mostly on freeways. At times TMo's data even on LTE was not usable for streaming music and the network seemed congested. Speed bounced between 0.5-20MB down which is not a very reliable experience. My Verizon phone (LG G2) was working as expected good.
-
I was traveling last week between New Orleans and Baton Rouge and my iPhone6plus got spoiled by TMo's Edge and 4G network. In some parts of the state. The lack of roaming partners was also very bad at times. Sprint worked very well, much better as expected and I never left the Sprint network.
-
T-Mobiles LTE coverage in LA seems a little overstated because my iphone is spending more time on 4G as on LTE especially along the Interstates.

Shentel / Sprint LTE - (was ntelos - West & N&W Virginia)
orangeblue replied to marioc21's topic in Markets
I am sure Sprint will eventually buy Shentel's wireless business and bring it in house. Not now but in 5 years. -
I am in Baton Rouge for work this week and I was looking at the coverage maps before I left and I was really disappointed about the lack of coverage and I was expecting a lot of roaming. But Sprint delivered actually a good and solid LTE coverage between New Oleanes and Baton Rouge along the I-10 & I -12 corridor. No roaming, LTE all the way. I have not seen B25 yet because my phone sticks to B26 like glue but it works very well. Have not seen yet B41 but I hope I will later today and when I go Friday into the French Quarter. Very happy.
-
Primm is a funny island of LTE coverage because B25 & B41 are working well. Not sure why Jean was left out but after MGM sold the Gold Strike to Terrible's, they don't need coverage anymore (because Terribles has messed up any Casino they ever touched).
-
I'm sure some of the smaller WiMax carrier arround the country will buy some of the equipment as reserve. I saw one n Mohap, UT
