3G ended up coming back after a few days with even strong signal then i had ever had. Reaching .8-1.3mbps during peak hours and up to 2.42mbps at late hours of the night. But Tuesday night I noticed 3G not working again. I checked the Field Test Screen on my iphone and under 1xEV-DO it wasn't even idle like it would be normally but all fields blank. Called sprint and they obviously had me reset the PRL know it would fail I still played along. After failing the tech check the towers and realized there was a ticket on it and that they network tech had blocked EV-DO from connecting. So for all those people complaining about 4G being blocked I have 3G being blocked now lol. oh and she told me the back on air date was june 8th at 12:36 CMT. What a random time for field techs to put lol

Yeah I have and both sites I listed are bad. I haven't been able to do any thing data related. Where I normally have 4 or 5 bars I know have 1 - 2. And at times it switching to Extended 1x. They called me back monday and said they should be fixed by Tuesday 3pm. I think I might drive to the tower to see if it something they had to physically fix and talk to the techs.

It worked, didnt think about that.

Yeah thats when the problems got worse. Now I can't even update the PRL. And even though it say I have 3G or 1X if I try to use Safari it says "Could not activate celluar data network. You are not subscribed to a cellualr data service" I keep reseting the network setting but no difference.

Past 2 days I haven't had a 3G signal. I have an iphone 4s and it keeps showing the small circle for 1x. A few hours ago I decided to call sprint. Knowing what they would have me do I decided to run thru it all before I called. This inclueded powering off and on the phone and updateding the PRL with ##update#. Once connected to a person I let them know that I had done all of that but they had me do it again. Keep in mind this is happening to all 3 phones on the account so there is no way its a phone problem and is obviously the network. Finally she had me reset the network setting and then update the PRL again. this time it failed and keeps on failing. She then decide to make a network ticket and since mondays a holiday I won't hear back for a few days. But since the call I have gone other places and can not connect to the internet because celluar data is not activated since she had me update the PRL and it still keeps failing. I am located in Oceanside NY 11572, is anyone else having issues around there? My tower is either on of theses NY07XC706 or NY27XC333.

Where I go to school they have a 500mbps fiber line for the entire school. Each buidling is limited 100mbps. These results are typical all day long. I've been looking for some one who could beat these results for awhile. When I go home I'm stuck with 15mbps up and 2mbps down which sucks after having speeds over 5 times faster. But after reading some of max speeds people can get at their homes I guess I'm fine. Especially since i can get 101mbps and 15mbps from my ISP and FIOS is also available. I don't see a point of having more then 5 mbps on any wireless device unless your using its being teathered to a computer or being used as wifi hotspot

Atleast now I don't have to check ever second to see if someone upload a 4g speed test

Which number is the ID of the cell tower I'm connected to? None of the numbers seem to match any of the numbers of the towers I'm near according to the maps in the sponsor forum. Is that number not on those maps?

I can't seem to find the page with "live LTE coverage map from Sprint sites in the Atlanta/Athens, Georgia area". Only the Waco, Texas map is in the sponsors forum. Could someone provide a link?

I know sprint is waiting for FCC aproval to use the 800MHz smr spectrum from nextel for LTE. Do they need approval to start using it for 800MHz ESMR Voice or has it already/always been allowed? I can't seem to find a map of the 800MHz SMR spectrum Sprint owns on the FCCs site and specmap.sequence-omega.net say it has trouble downloading that data from FCCs site. Is this band nation wide like the G block of the PCS band Sprint has?

Since theres no support for LTE 800 and only LTE 1900 does that mean when sprint starts using LTE 800 it won't have 4G? Or is both LTE 800 and 1900 going to be used simultaneously. Would all site have both or only certain?

When you say "will begin deployment as soon as May." does that mean they will start the upgrades needed for NV or there already live and will be switched on for use?

I had been getting similar speeds where i go to school in Oneonta NY for a few month until a few weeks ago I noticed a major slow down back to where it had been before around .2-.4Mbps download and .01-.20Mbps upload. I contacted sprint and they said one of the towers in my area were "under review for a possibly capacity augment" is that just what the network upgrade map is on the sprint site

Should I Expect to see any improvement in speed when NV upgrades are live in my area. I'm on the south shore of Nassau County Long Island and according to the maps there are no live site on all of the Island. I'm not complaining about my speeds cause I know how slow it is for some people. I was also wondering what time of the day is the networks usually the slowest from peak usage, so I can run some speed test then. There have only been a few times I've got under 1Mbps for downlaod and upload

Are there areas that doesnt have sprint 3g but has the slower sprint data network (not roaming)? If so do they plan to convert them to 3g let alone 4g? I think its just as importent maybe even more for the sprint data nextwork to be all 3g as starting to deploy 4g in areas that are 3g.

Hey everyone, Im new to this site and love it. Wondering if anyone else noticed that it looks the color key has been pasted on and is cutting off part of new york and michigan. if this was a real sprint document why would it have that?
