  1. There are no towers that are completed and are not turned on. That's complete and utter lies. Sprint towers are live and up as they are finished. They do not have them blocked until they launch the market like ATT or VZ. If the towers are finished then they'll be turned on. If it's still being worked on then it'll be on and off. If it's finished then it'll stay on. It's as simple as that.
  2. So you think your "25,000" is more important than my 2,500,000? Fat chance. Sprint is deploying when and where they have towers ready. If a tower is ready and a crew is ready then they go to it. Does not matter if its a big city, small city, small town, middle of nowhere, or in a god forsaken patch of highway that very few people uses. If it's ready then they'll go for it. All but a hundred or so of the 38,500 Sprint cell sites will have NV upgrades. Most will receive LTE 1900 at the minimum and many (but not all) will receive LTE 800. They will start when everything's in place.
  3. They spectrum they bought have to go through the Fed's approval process and will not be done till midyear.
  4. In sacramento on Broadway in front of Target. Never ever been this fast nor have pings this low. Last month speeds were dial up at this same location. Progress maybe?
  5. Feel free to look up building / planning permits here https://aca.accela.com/sacramento/Default.aspx if you know the address of it and or any other towers. My perusal of known and guesstimated sprint tower addresses from the sponsor area has gotten me nothing so far unfortunately...
  6. 800mhz should be easy. All the NV antennas are already capable of it. Just need to hook up the RRU to panel and get that carrier card and wallah! But first... you need the NV upgrades ....
  7. Well Robert aka S4gru is THE administrator. He owns the damn site... lol.
  8. You said it. They're testing. 4g is not launched yet so coverage comes and goes when they're messing about. Be glad you can get it and that you now know that you'll get excellent coverage when they're done with the towers near you. Think of getting LTE as a plus but don't expect reliable coverage yet.
  9. 3 years ago, you don't have tens of millions of smartphones gobbling up all that sweet sweet data.
  10. Or he's just the only sprint customer in the area and it's not worth it for them to upgrade it just for him ...
  11. Think it's going to be either Chicago or PR.
  12. T-mobile doesn't use RRU's iirc. They use integrated panels.
  13. When they get approved. Could be right after they get approved or could be 60-90 days or could be months. Nobody knows.
  14. *fixed* Not going to be political but it's california... bureaucracy and government slows anything and everything down... *Going to call Berkeley as one of the last city if not the last city to start / finish NV upgrades.
  15. ehrpd is not an indication of NV upgrades. They're software updates that allow seamless transfer between LTE and 3g. In some markets, they're turned on months ahead of upgrades. All it means is that your market is now in the preliminary stages and they're working on the LTE cores for your area.
  16. GS IV, HTC M7 (or whatever sprint decides to alter it to), Moto X (?), etc. Wait for the tri band phones.
  17. Iphones 5 cannot map using sensorly due to artificial limitations imposed by Apple. Should've kept the [superior mapping] device for your sensorly needs.
  18. actually. Change my mind. Panels too small to be ATT, clearwire? Left be legacy sprint?
  19. Probably someone picked it up when they were testing the stuff. Signals come and go during the testing phase.
  20. It's a fake tree. Used in wealthier areas because people complain about how cell towers are so ugly and decreases property values and stuff like that.
