Was in Rockland today near Home Depot which is right off route 3. Picked up LTE on the iphone and got 13 down and 6 up.

Sprint's maps at network.sprint.com only show "band-aid" fixes and not NV work. There are several threads on here discussing that topic.

 

As to your questions on removal of old equipment first, the answer is no. The schedules typically show that old equipment is removed about 45 days or so after the new equipment comes online. Sprint has to accept the site first and test to make sure things are working before turning off the old equipment. Otherwise they'd have a disaster on their hands.

I don't know about removing equipment, but Sprint customer service has admitted to me on several occasions that whatever upgrading they are doing is affecting signal quality in areas that had "good" coverage.

I am glad to see that parts of Cape Cod, MA are part of this upgrade.

Since Sprint has been unable to give me a straight answer so far, does anyone know if during the process of the new equipment going live is the old equipment taken offline first?

I was in a "good" coverage area according to Sprints coverage map, but now the maps say I am in a "fair" coverage area which has drasitcially changed my signal quality etc.

The maps you have on here showing upgrade locations is great! I wish Sprint would update their maps! Your maps indicate my area is due to be upgraded, yet Sprints map indicates my zip code is due to receive no upgrades!

Keep the updates on progress coming! You have a great website going here!
