Depends if the subcontractors want to earn some money for getting their job completed on time. Also there's different crews working on different parts so it may be just one crew is done and left stuff for another crew to do.

*Looks at AMD Anthlon X64 CPU's performance, price, TDP, low temperatures, good overclocking* XD

Backhaul is actually ahead in most markets now. It's mainly the OEMs and supply shortages that are holding back NV. Permitting will always be a pain in big cities like NYC and the like. Permitting + Slow Oems & Contractors = snails pace. But it should be speeding up in the next couple of months as everyone gets their shites together.

The point is T-mobile is only "good" in large cities and metro areas... go out of it and you're GG'd with 2g Edge speeds. They're not upgrading any 2g areas to my knowledge.

Not Sprint or ATT as it has a new style panel without an RRU which is the types of stuff that Verizon and T-mobile uses.

Couple more in progress sites is added weekly. It's starting slow but it's steady progress at least. Additional info is in the sponsor area.

Sponsor area has the info you seek. That info will not be posted here as it'll be against the posting rules. I will say there nothing has popped up so far but work has begun. In fact, just a bit north of you at St. Petersberg, NV is deployed rapidly. Work will begin soon in you area.

I Beg to differ. The Los bug was fixed by the December 2011 time frame with the EL radios. Any and all ICS and Jb radios did not have any LOS bugs. The radio is not as good as others but are definitely not POS's.

Although T-Mobiles network is tiny, where you get connection, it is far superior to ATT. Data speeds are higher, voice calls are clearer and they don't drop as often (still drops but not literally every other call), and customer service is substantially better. Their HSPA+42 setup is nothing to sneeze about either even though it's FauxG. You can easily match LTE speeds given the backhaul. In my area, their setup is as good as ATT LTE, VZ LTE, and Wimax 4g with speeds in the 10-20 mbps range on average. Their biggest problem is the fact that only their current 3g/3.5 (4g) parts of their network is going to get any upgrades and the 2g (edge/gprs) areas are going to be left untouched. A very big problem once you get out of a metro area and into the rural countryside.

Looks like a bandaid fix to me. NV backhaul pings are sub 100 ms and those are way too high.

Check the Sponsor forums NV Site Completed thread and look at the NV progress map for Samsung. Then search for Hayward, CA and observe what's going on. --> There's a couple towers up and running 3g/4g completed but nothing substantial yet.

Except for areas where they have no coverage or 2g only...

I don't believe it's just a simple software upgrade. I was under the impression that the equipment T-mobile uses is compatible with LTE but doesn't mean you don't need to visit it and do some physical work. Either way, T-mobile still needs to refarm 3g to PCS and kick off people from their 1700/2100 before doing LTE. Funny thing... in my area (sacramento), they've begun refarming PCS to 3g and it's on average faster than ATT HSPA+ by quite a bit but still plenty of holes where edge is still the norm for unlocked phones.

Hahaha reminds me that I've actually seen chickens running about in my neighborhood. We're literally miles away from any farmland and we're in an suburban area with our backs to the river and highway to the other side.

Well... as I live in Sacramento and have many friends who use ATT and Vz, I can assure you they're using either Comcast or ATT and Sprint / T-mobile is likely to as well since they have a practical duopoly (they've brought out every other ISP in the last 10 years). My friends VZ LTE smartphones have speeds in the 4-10 mbps range during for the majority of day time. During peak hours, it can come down to 2-4 mbps or lower in the downtown area by the state capital. Surrounding areas like the suburbs are not as highly affected but they're still barely within the 5-12 mbps average. Anywhere near a high school or middle school is (uh oh) during lunch time as you can easily get hundreds of people using their LTE devices. But yea. Verizon LTE used to top out in the 25-30ish mbps range before people started jumping on it.

Same plus I also thought the main obstacle to just deploying 800 with 1900 is the fact they need to boot off all the iDen subscribers first and refarm the freq from iden. That's why they're starting in the summer of 2013 because that's when iDen is officially shut down.

Look at sponsor maps and locate the nearest cell site locations to where you were and go check if anything is going on. Best way to find out as you're the one in the neighborhood.

The Exynos 5 series (aka 5250 A15 dual core ala Nexus 10 + chromebook and exynos 5450 A15 quad core [GS4 / GN3?]) will have everything integrated on chip like the Snapdragon. Right now, the Exynos 5250 in the chrome book / nexus 10 literally takes every single SoC out there (including apples custom designed one) and drags it on the floor. The 5450 is going to be in the Galaxy S4 / Galaxy Note 3 and there will be no questions about it. Both entered mass production in Q2/Q3 2012 on the 28nm process. Keep in mind, this chip was designed to fix what the 4 series could not do, mainly LTE compatibility issues (the 4 were really made with South Korea LTE in mind) and focus on power efficiency.

My mom works at Hyatt Regency (20+ years ) and your wife is speaking the truth. If you can sit on a counter or lean against something that supports you then someone has screwed another person on it. All hotels / motel housekeepers have a set quota of rooms to clean (40-50 or more depending on season) and are given a certain time limit (5 -10 mins or quicker). Does it look clean? No. Replace. Yes?.it's staying. Can you see it? Nope. Next room. Yes, make it not be seen. But yes. Bodily fluids EVERYWHEREEEE. I highly recommend you to not use a UV light anywhere in the vicinity of a hotel room...

The ones around me have literally nothing near it. It may be due to the fact that my city is a huge flood zone with waters rising 15-20 feet (1/2- 2/3 the height of local towers) if the levees break...

As a local resident and someone who got denied into UC Davis, I will abstain from correcting you on "Auguest", usage of "was" instead of "is", and general tone of "importance'' just because you are a student. Anyways, Davis,CA is part of the northern CA market and will undoubtedly be one of the first places to be completely done. Davis has about 10 cell towers and is along i80 which if you follow it for 20 minutes will get you into active NV zones with LTE. Sprint loves deploying along major interstates and highways and put that with relatively few cell towers in davis ensures that NV upgrades will be relatively fast. Sprint will start NV upgrades in the UCV by springtime and will have extremely high progress by August of 2013. Samsung is the fastest of the 3 OEMs. If the SF bay market is any indication, then Sammy, in around 5 months, will get almost 30% of cell sites completed. Areas around highways/interstates will be done first probably AKA Davis. If you want to leave for ATT LTE then by all means leave but Sprint will have LTE up and running and by august, 800mhz lte should be turned on. Furthermore, the chances of CW TDD-LTE around Davis is fairly high thanks to the high population density. Your choice, do what you think is best for you.

37/17 on 10mhz channels iirc. Problem is Clearwire never had the requisite backhaul for those kind of speeds and we've only been getting faster speeds because CW is prepping sites for TDD-LTE alongside decreases in wimax users.

Deploying is ongoing. It's just that it's the holidays so a lot of contractors are probably at home enjoying time off. Not to mention, for it to show up on the lists, the site must be inspected. Guess where most of the inspectors are?
