  1. Getting back haul is not a 1-2 month process. Many site may require build out and can take up to a year. San Diego already has many sites with 4G completed, it is coming along and many 3G completed sites. Those sites are just waiting on the back haul for 4G which is OUT of Sprint's control. Permit process had begun in 2012 and first work didn't start until 4th Quarter 2012. NV 3G/4G hardware upgrades is close to 50% completed throughout San Diego, but only around 25% of the sites is 4G with fiber back hual. Hopefully by end of the year San Diego will have at least 80% 3G/4G hardware installed and 60% 4G sites with fiber back haul throughout the city.
  2. Drive by and check out the site. See if there has been any work done. If you see new electrical and conduits next to the existing cabinet they are ready for the new NV cabinets. Sprint has been planning this since 2011 and many cities already over 90% complete. San Diego has been worked on since 4th quarter 2012. I had the original EVO and now the new EVO. 4G came slowly but we know it will eventually be covering the entire Sprint 3G footprint. Just give it few more months, San Diego will have more 4G sites up. Just in the past 2 days 7 LTE sites went live in San Diego... check this out: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3913-network-vision-site-acceptance-report-updates/?p=184638
  3. Here's another one in Mira Mesa. http://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community/profiles/miramesa/pdf/agenda/2013/13junagendamm.pdf
  4. Here is a site that gotten approval for Downtown San Diego. Meeting on 8/15/13. http://www.sandiego.gov/planning-commission/pdf/pcreports/2013/pc13097.pdf Imagine how long it takes for each site to get approved before each NV build. Imagine the whole process. Now once they install the new NV gear and accept the 3G portion, what if this building has no fiber? Now imagine how long it takes just to get back haul. Cox/AT&T has to apply for permits from the city and imagine that process. Geez this goes on and on, but knowing how much has been done in 1 year in San Diego, all I can say is Sprint is doing a great job!
  5. That engineer from Cox said if there was no existing fiber to the site with no conduit they have to trench from the street or to closes fiber at that site. Most of Sprint's cell sites are on roof tops. If there's no fiber to building, they have to build way for it. To build way for it, they gotta hit up Major Filner. With his sexual harassment case on going, more delays! Here is a build from Time Warner on Post# 910. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2144-network-visionlte-san-diego-market/?p=176560 with similar situation, no fiber to the building. That site has all new NV gear installed and 3G completed. We are waiting on Time Warner and AT&T so 4G LTE can go live! Most sites in Clairemont are completed, just waiting on that fiber back haul to go live!
  6. Seems like AT&T, Cox and Time Warner are busy getting the back-haul up and running. Spoke to a Cox Engineer that does survey for many of the sites for fiber installation, many of the delay are getting permits from City of San Diego to dig up the streets when needed. He said most Sprint cell sites, many of the work are pre-done by Sprint such as electrical work and conduits to MPOE which speeds up the process. My personal opinion, I think there are possibly hardware shortages or man power shortages because I know of few sites that AT&T had delivered fiber months ago for Sprint, but currently no work in progress other than electrical work completed.
  7. They won't screw it up. Softbank had said to build Sprint as good or better than Verizon & AT&T in speed and coverage. Once they have fiber delivered to all their sites, it won't slow down in the future. I am getting max 37.5Mbps on my HTC EVO LTE all the time in San Diego on many of the fiber sites. Can't wait for Tri-Band 800Mhz and 2500Mhz!
  8. Just spoke to a hardware test engineer at Qualcomm. iPhone 5S modem will be ultilizing the Qualcomm's Fusion 3 platform using the APQ8064. He also confirmed the new LG and Samsung will be using the 8974. We all know the new LG is Sprint's first tri-band phone. Can someone else confirm iPhone 5s will be using the APQ8064? If it is indeed the 8064, no Sprint LTE tri-band. Also, he said they had worked on this project last year for Apple, LG and Samsung.
  9. What number did you call? Cannot find a phone number on their website.
  10. When added to cart, it shows $34.99? Does this seem right?
  11. Please Youtube any speeds over 70Mbps. Don't want John Legere to say we had Photoshop the speed test.
  12. Sent a donation, have some more drinks with the wifey tonight! Please try to get 75Mbps speed test so I can send to John Legere.
