Sounds promising ????????????!

I see. I really wish I could access that because the constant drops to 3G are really annoying. People at the apple store said my phone was fine. Idk. Maybe sprint has my phone provisioned weird so I'll go and check with them when I get the chance.

So like -90 3G would be -90 LTE?

Huh idk. The place I'm staying now is in Swanee. The DBM ranges from -102 B25 LTE to like -120 and I drop to 3G a lot. Taking it into an apple store today to get it checked out. I'll let you guys know what happens. Also out of curiosity, how much of an improvement is B26 compared to B25 and 1900mhz EVDO?

Oh. Does anyone know if the i5S supports 800mhz? On the website it says B26 is supported but idk considering that I haven't been able to pick it up.

I live in Seattle so I know not to expect b26 for a few years but I'm currently out in Atlanta and I'm seeing nothing but b25 (I don't have a spark phone) and i drop to 3G every so often which is really annoying. Maybe I should get my phone checked out? Could it maybe be that not many towers out here have 800mhz equipment loaded onto them?

So I've been traveling around the US a lot lately and I have yet to pick up a B26 signal and I was wondering if anyone had a list of markets in which sprint has started to or finished deploying 800mhz LTE because I haven't seen any.

Oh wow I totally missed that. Wonder if they'll add it o the LTE/Spark map. Hopefully they will as native. Roaming just looks bad in general.

Yea that would be great because having the option to connect at those high speeds would be great and even if you don't buy a bucket, you still have LTE ping and LTEs pretty decent edge of cell performance which is a lot better than that of HSPA or HSPA+.

Hey does anyone know if sprint is planning on offering international roaming on LTE networks? AT&T has LTE roaming agreements in over 200 countries and I don't think that sprint has any right now? Is this something they are planning to announce or are they planning on sticking with their current 3G agreements.

Any news on B26 (800mhz) LTE in either Tucson or Seattle because B25 is seriously not cutting it. The Sprint CEO hinted at the start of B26 deployment when he spoke a little while back but he was not specific as far as I remember. Does anyone have any idea when the 800mhz rollout may start in either of these cities?

Do you think that Sprint will update their coverage map to show at least the 3G roaming any time soon? Also will it show as Sprint 3G or Off-Network 3G?

I was curious as to how many POPs Sprint's whole network covered whether it's 1x, EVDO, FDD-LTE or TD-LTE. I looked online and could not really find a straight answer to this question probably because no one cares about 3G anymore. Does anyone know?

Any idea when the map will be updated to show the pseudo-native EVDO?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. The service in my area (Kirkland) is good for the most part but there are a few holes in the LTE network and the penetration is honestly not that great. For example, outside my house, the service is -92 to -95 b25 (1900mhz) LTE but when I step into my house, it drops to -114 to -118 or back to eHRPD. I know that sprint is rolling out b26 (800mhz) LTE everywhere but it seems that Seattle is inside something called the IBEZ zone. I generally know what that means but I sm still not 100% clear. I was wondering if someone could explain what this means, how it affects the b26 rollout in the Seattle market and basically if Seattle will be getting b26 anytime soon. Thanks!

I just got back from montana. I came in on i90 from Idaho and drove to Bozeman and it was all roaming. Does anyone have any idea yet as to the timeframe of the project?
