So can you please tell me about Erie's roll out? If I had the right people talk to Sprint. Who at Sprint do they or I address the concerns? Seriously, I am trying my best to address this and be vocal. What is the main problem.

Any update on Erie getting upgraded or updated to 4G or LTE or anything?

I have been observing this website and I never found this thread. I know about complaining and calling Sprint to rethink Erie. I know and I have been asking people who are on Sprint to do complain to them. I will have to dig up the "billboards" I have seen and where it does say "4G" in Erie. I am not getting confused with the marketing of that phone or marketing period. I am yeah tired, exhausted and very very disappointed. I truly want Erie to become Pa's 3rd largest city again and I am trying to make sure Erie has 4G in my hometown and region period!

When I purchased the 4G EVO for 3 years they had billboards on Peach Street, Bayfront and other locations about that phone and 4G in the area. They lied. They closed down the corporate store on Peach Street. Now you have to travel to the big three to go to a corporate store. Those who live in Erie with out a car have to spend more money to fix a problem. They at least left a third party store to fix things but it is not the corporate store itself. Posting things in Downtown Erie, along the Bayfront and at Presque Isle State Park is slow or there is no signal. Erie County has close to 300,000 residents and the City, plus a couple townships combine has 200,000 residents. When I go into the store they do talk about 4G and how Erie will get connected. I have spoke to technical support specialist across the region and on the phone. Rumors are that there are towers that have 4G LTE but they have not turned them on. Along the border with New York you can easily pick up 4G and as you head towards Buffalo. Along the border with Ohio you can get some 4G LTE but you'll have to travel Ashtbula and the RT 11 Intersection Interchange. Heading South to Pittsburgh you can pick it up around the Cranberry / Turnpike Interchange. Why would they open in small markets like York, Lancaster and way smaller towns then Erie, Altoona and Scranton? State College home of Penn State does not even have it which is a joke because Erie has 5 colleges in the area.

I have been a Sprint customer ever since the Instinct in 2008. I have spoke with local elected officials and agencies about Sprint's wrong doing in Erie PA. 1. When are they going to turn it on? 2. When are they going to stop lying to the customers in the stores? 3. You do have 4G but it is in BFE the most eastern part of Erie County PA. 4. Why has it taken forever and ever for this to happen? I know I have done my homework, research and talked to pretty much a lot business, technical support etc etc but still I get the same song and dance. Can some one please guide me to understand more of the craziness this company has done with the citizens of Erie and our residents. Sprint is the only one NOT turned on. In not so populated areas around Erie PA have 4G. I know Cleveland and Buffalo has something to do with it. When I even go to Pittsburgh I get it but barely even outside Alleghany County. I have traveled a lot all over the Great Lakes area and Erie my hometown is not connected. Can you help me? and how can I get it turned on?

Does this means Erie PA, Northeast Ohio, Northwest PA and Western most part of NY will be 4G / LTE
