Does anyone have an idea when Frederick city area will get LTE? I have been impressed how quickly the signal strength has improved over here on Crestwood Blvd. Somewhere near Bentz Street and Trail Avenue I think there was a WiMax tower, I'd guess that would be an easy upgrade???

I pulled 13.34 meg down, the uplink was struggling a bit at 1.07 meg. Ping response 69 ms.

My mornings excitement for today is that I actually have LTE service in my office building on Crestwood blvd in Frederick, almost 1-2 bars short of full signal. It will in fact snow tonight.

Its nice to see that I am getting 2-3 bars of Sprint LTE when I step out of my office that's on Crestwood and Buckeystown pike. Wonder where the towers are, since I sit buy a window and it only connects to 3G service, or what band this might be that they are turning on around the area.

I picked up Sprint LTE service coming out of the Sam's Club in Frederick. It was a faint 2 bars, but still very exciting!

Well slightly good news to report in Frederick. I was coming home past the Harry Grove stadium last night and noticed LTE service, about 2-3 bars worth. It stayed connected until I just reached the school for the deaf and switched back to 3G service. However didn't switch over to LTE when I drove past there to drop my kids off at school this morning.

I was at the Frederick MVA yesterday sitting in my car before they opened and noticed LTE service with full signal. Ran speed test and did about 22mbp down and 5mbp up. Not to shabby, just move it into the city more

That is just cruel Sprint, just cruel!

This is not probably the same market, but my mother in law is picking up Sprint LTE in Mt Airy (Frederick County) in house and outside... It keeps stretching towards Frederick... Be nice if it progressed enough by Christmas even if its not official.

Well I saw a news release from them that they announce Bethesda as a launched area. Maybe they will send some of crew up here!

This seems like a familiar post I am about to make, but we are a day away from July and still no LTE in Frederick. However some recent threads from Sprint Customer care makes a comment of upgrades ARE now scheduled for Frederick for sometime. I realize they can't commit to a time frame. I thought maybe I read (or was dreaming) that the Frederick city council was a potential road block in this very long process?? I made a post a while back that i hit over 1 meg through put with 3G service and 2 bars of service.... That experience has never returned. Is it safe to assume this might help support the notion that they are ACTUALLY doing something in the area and that service fluctuations are normal with said service enhancements? I dunno... I hope I am not trolling, but nicely complaining about this extended waiting time for LTE service in 21701.

So are you saying Walkersville area is getting LTE turned on in places? NVM - Saw the line under this that said it was not in Walkersville...

Just yesterday in Frederick, in the middle of my house on the Sprint 3G with 2 bars,I ran a speed test and shocked and chagrined I pulled 1.44 Mbps down and 0.57 Mbps up with a ping of 75 ms.... Typical speeds are around .3 kpbs download with a 900-1000 ms ping response... Still not LTE in site for Frederick City area, but much improved.

Thats right outside of my work. I noticed that for a few days and they have flags that go up crestwood blvd past my work and onto the next intersection. I can tell you there is major bandwidth there at least what we have plus other connections.

I did drive by during that time frame and did not notice any changes with service.
