Not a clue, I so drive around and do some speed test randomly.

I also do random speed tests around pompano beach and deerfield on my drives. The speeds have definitely improved. I don't have a CA device but data is very usable, around 15-40 mbs download.

This makes sense, but it is disappointing.  Sprint is running low on cash, but I was hoping Softbank to help out, either by giving Sprint cash or just set up another holding entity to buy it for Sprint or lease to others if needed. 

I understand it will take up to 5 years to deloy, but having at least 10 mhz of spectrum will help improve their competitive position much more once they have caught up with verizon or att. 

I have been with sprint for 11 years. 3g, wimax, 4G lte and now spark/network vision. When they went to 4g lte we had growing pains but they fixed it. Yes I went from a note 3 to a note 4 so I could use spark over a year ago pre order.

 

My bf already had a tri band phone as did my neighbors but until I got a tri band phone I didn't know the difference nor did I know changing my phone would make my service die. I now have every issue they had. The note 3 is not a tri band phone. My note 3 worked better faster and had no network, text or call issues. Since the day I changed my phone out to a note 4 I have wanted to shoot myself. All my services have been horrible.

 

I am connected to spark I'm in the wilton manors / fort Lauderdale area and all my services have issues. My next door neighbors changed all 3 phones to att from sprint due to all the service issues since they started the network vision project. I have found out if your phone is not tri band your service is great.

 

If you have a tri band phone and have sprint for the time being u mine as well toss your 740$ phone in the trash. On top of all this limiting the phones so you have no data while talking on the phone was a huge kick in the rear..... my bf and I both have sprint he just changed his iPhone 6 to a sg6 edge and still has horrible service and we live together so there's some issues here.

 

No matter the time of day I can't achieve spark speeds ever. Generally I can't get over 4mb down sometimes I get 10mb down. I used to get 26mb down on my note 3. 2 times I got 50 to 59mb down walking my dogs in the last 13 months.

 

Past that I'm lucky if my phone works :-/ WiFi I get 126mb down and 29 to 33mb up so I don't think it's my phone and sprint agrees with me since I have brought it in for testing many times.

 

On a side note I have that battery issue since the software update to my note 4. Besides clearing the cache or a hard rest does anyone have a fix for the battery drain issue on the note 4? It was great until lollipop update I don't want to hard rest my phone again :-/ tks

There are many dead spots in the Fort Lauderdale metros area. I have sprint for close to a year and I'm not a heavy data user so I find it exceptable as long as my calls are getting through, and I have only experienced drop calls once or twice. I have a samsung s5 so my experience with data and band 41 has been very good. I have wifi at home and google maps work well even on 3g data.

You should have your note 4 checked. Or, switch carrier if you want a better experience now.

This is awesome!!! My fiance will take a trip to Canada in a few weeks with her parents and now she doesn't have to worry about not able to call or use her phone in Canada. 

I drove from Milwaukee, WI to Fort Lauderdale, FL a couple times in the last 12 months, and I always had decent coverage along the highways (I90 I94, I55, I24, I75, I95). I was able to stream music (while running the Maps App) along the trip during my 2 day drive. The last trip was in May, 2015. I hit 3G at a few spots along the way, but the data was usable and I never got frustrated with the service.
