substantial loss of 4g signal in Norridge Illinois it was 16 up and 10 down now it is like .5 up 0 down

He is not incorrect. Your two comments are not conflicting. It is true to say that the "holes" have not been mapped, and also to say that service in the Loop is still spotty. Not even one quarter of all the Loop sites have been converted to 3G/4G.

So glad to hear that Chicago has not lit up all of the 3G/4G sites. Speeds are great at Clark and Fullerton. I get consistant 12-18 down , but if I walk 3 blocks North....nada. Thank you for the hand holding through this process. I know a lot of would have given up by now if we didn't have you here to explain things. We are almost there everyone...just sit tight. January should be glorious.

When Chicago whines about no LTE..

LTE must be coming.

Any more launch date info...

TT more launch date details anyone? I know we are guessing October still,but Any Sprint announcements?

Thank you Sprint for your LTE network...it is blazing! As more users come aboard will speeds dip? Or is it determined on signal strength alone?

I don't remember, but I am used to dealing with the disgruntled. But Congratulations all the same. I see someone already has been uploading coverage on Sensorly from the Norridge/Portage Park/Norwood Park areas.

That was me driving around in awe.

Norridge screaming at 20meg!!!! The Calvary arrived Bobby! I want to take back all those nasty things I said about'cha. I came from AT&T still disgruntled and i took it out on you. (U prolly don't remember but i do) For this i apologize. You're site turned out to be my most informative out there. Thank you

from Chicago!

To add images just upload screenshots

Chicagoland update. The 4G LTE bubble on coverage.sprint.com is very accurate. I drove on Lake-Cook Rd and then NW on 12. to Lake Barrington. 4G signal is solid and consistent. When leaving this "bubble" only 3G is available. So this coverage map is very accurate. In fact, the small area on highway 14 in Palatine worked and then went to 3G after leaving this area.

 

 

How do you post images here?

 

 

Were these all taken in the same place, or while driving around?

Sorry about all the Chicago flack but we are deserving of fast reliable service. I hope you are right about that Calvary.

Then it consistently dropped to slower but still acceptable speeds. I did run sensorly on my expedition for LTE.

Here is a log of testing.

On Sanders/294/lake cook area. 32 Down

is pretty fast. It seemed to max in one particular area. Probably REALLY close to tower for this test. I had a passenger running speed test constantly. This gave is an idea of how close to the towers we were. Speeds were consistent 28-32down

The market hasn't been launched yet, so therefore could not be a failure. Trust me i am skeptical by nature and even bumped heads with the JC of this site. But ya cant call it a failure yet. .
