  1. They're installing everything, as soon as the site is accepted as completed, it should have lte equipment installed.

    It doesn't mean LTE will be up.

     

    The problem isn't EVDO speed, is the backhaul, before the mass smartphone euphoria on sprint (pre EVO 4G), sprint internet was great around the island, i remember using EVDO rev a pcmcia cards with over 2mb and my ppc-6700 wasn't rev a. but was fast enough, but the number of smartphone users was minimal, i remember paying 600 cash for windows mobile phones, when people was still using moto razors.

  2. While I was in Barceloneta right next to he highway I did a test and got the best speeds I have seen yet on sprint (about 2meg down). I believe this is very close to one of the upgraded towers. The rest of the way between there and San Juan speeds were very slow or non existent.

     

    Good speed are spotty right now because of the early stage on completed sites of nv rollout in the island, I did tests from Mayaguez up to Ponce, and found 3 o 4 places with 1.5mb or more. 1 at Guanica-Yauco, others in Guayanilla and Ponce, but the good news of this, the network its getting better and better.

  3. How can you tell that it has NV already installed?

    You can notice the difference between the new and old panels, new one are bigger and have RRU's (Radio Remote Unit) on the back.

     

    I know waiting for LTE and NV kill us, but seen that they're getting the sites updated, looks like when 4g core and backhaul are ready we should see a lot of coverage around the island, hope so. Robert (SGRU) hasn't hear any news from PR recently but seeing NV equipment installed on some sites close to its schedule, look like good news for us.

  4. They're working and installing panels according to schedules (if they are on schedule an not behind it), but we not gonna see any LTE until Bayamon 4G Core center is finished. We don't know status of that. Probably Robert gonna give us some light when he get more info.

     

    According schedule we should start seeing LTE sites up around december - march 2013.

  5. Kaku bienvenido al foro mi pana!

     

    To have a better idea, you can go to antennasearch.com, put carr. #2 and town name on the search address, it will give you all the towers in that area, and will give you the antenna owners like sprint, att, tmo or claro. Then you can compare it with the interactive maps her on the sponsors forum.

  6. Everyone was looking at fireworks on wednesday 4 of july celebrating independence day, but I was looking at my little princess, Valeria Sofia, my first daughter born the fourth of july at @ 7:26 p.m.

     

    I wasn't an easy day, the woman on the other room had some complications and passed by giving birth. So sad for that family and the newborn. After seeing all the stress and rush of the hospital doctors and nursers I was really scared, but thanks to God, i'm at home with my wife and my daughter.

     

    Every 4 of july will have a new meaning for me.

  7. I just noticed I caught a southwest jet on approach in that shot. Looks like its going to get stuck in all that bushy stuff! The techs are going to have a fun time working around those nests when they put up the new panels.

     

    I was gonna post that, problably Waldo is the pilot of the jet...
