How's fresno

Any news on full spark capability in Fresno?

Sprint postpaid doesn't limit streaming video to 3g speeds?

Definitely not Ashlan and First. I Work very near there and that neighborhood is still mostly 3g. No towers nearby enough. It will on rare occasion kick over to 4g but never indoors.

Hopefully 800 fixes that

Got a lg volt on boost.  So far at home seems like 800mhz isnt active yet in fresno

Near ashlan and first

 

enjoy

Wow how's Fresno?

Looks like sprint now updated their map to show all of frenso and clovis with lte.

What are your speeds and coverage looking like?

Looks like their strongest coverage and speeds are in each others weakest areas

T-Mobile's signal here in Fresno is very spotty for LTE (as is Sprint's so far). Not sure if it is more stable elsewhere but it's great and then horiible a block apart. (and admittedly so is Sprint).

Plus overloaded

Backhaul

How can I tell if I'm on 1700 or 1900mhz hspa? Using this app that my bro opedius helped me find

You are not on Band 41.

Been a long time since the simpsons was good

Looks like, correct!!!!

What app is that

Well if it goes back again screen shot it you can see it like this

They are working on Kerman's tower right now.

They need it

If Tulare county can't currently get 800 SMR because of its proximity to San Bernardino county, Kern county probably can't either.

Why is that a problem?

Since 2012

Great to see it finally happened. Sadly, most of us here had been hopeful for September....2013.

 

What I dont understand is the towers that went LTE live. I thought the whole point of waiting for a cluster launch...was that it was all systems go? That doesnt seem the case.

 

Or am I confused about that?

 

 

 

Not quite yet. Site spacing is still poor, especially downtown and in the new neighborhoods (ie, anything build post 2000)

 

Next step is more towers.

 

 

 

 

Ironically, the one location that has had 4G since 2009...

How are the speeds

Looks to be meeting their end of month launch

Anything yet

5x5 in fresno?

Good to know, move on now?

It doesn't matter, like I said.

thank you that was much better than

That doesn't matter

Sprint likes to get as few backhaul providers as possible per market for logistics and simplicity of management. They went out to bid looking for coverage first. Each bidder showed which sites they could cover, and then they were selected.

 

Then a list of sites which were not covered by bids is put together, and Sprint regional managers have to hunt down who can provide fiber to that site, one by one. Sometimes even the OEM helps when that happens. This is the reasoning why many full build sites are waiting to go LTE. I hear some good things that Sprint may be looking to go to microwave on some of these remaining sites.

 

Fiber is very admirable. But microwave to bridge the gap is needed now. Fiber can follow up later. This is what VZW did. They used lots of MW at sites they could not get fiber quickly, easily or at a reasonable cost.

Do sprint have 10x10lte in Fresno?

Yes it does but I am done arguing about it......

Certainly a welcome sign being 3g there is horrible let's go sanjoaquin!!!

Are the unlimited family plans gone?
