Nice speeds. I had faster speeds in this area but I'm happy with it.

Nice speed what area is that

Kinda surprised by your answer. My 3g Svc is generally pretty crappy. Not just at home but out and about around here. I rarely get better than 400kbps and often closer to 100-150 kbps. Driving around my phone often won't keep up with a YouTube stream (not HQ!) I've even had issues streaming from Play Music. I'm on the edge of bouncing to TMO prepaid. They Have a deal ending today I might just jump to. Bottom line: if I'm gonna have sub par svc, might as well pay cheap for it. That's why I'm asking about 11234.. Will it get better in a few weeks or is it gonna be a couple of months

Have any of the towers been down ? Cause they are working on putting up LTE in the whole city if you have dropped calls and all that its part of it

Yeah. Definitely 11234. That's where I'm from. But 3G hasn't been a problem for me except at home. I am directly between the edge of two towers so my phone will switch from 2bars to one bar when I am at home. But then again, that's why I have an Airave.

They told me if I wanted a airwave but I told them no for what if I pay for my service why should I use my house Internet for it. But soon in queens their should be LTE

In my area corona queens 11368 and 11372 and 11369 they started upgrading the towers to LTE since last week this should be done tomorrow. Most of the towers have been down the whole week. I'm hopping to see LTE by tomorrow

Prl 25006 Samsung s3. I can see the closest sprint antennas from my home. I usually have full bars for signal. I am currently not roaming and back to full bars. Idk.....

You should call sprint and have them reset it from there end. My service been off and on this whole week they are upgrade 2 towers around my house to LTE i spotted them yesterday.

For the last week every other day or so, the roaming icon appears on and off for about an hour. Check out my screenshot. What does this mean? How could I be roaming and connected to sprint ehrpd at the same time?

I have been roaming for 2 days now every time i am round my house maybe it has to do with the LTE updates. Have you updated the PRL

I went around the block from my house and I saw Crew workers from alcatel lucent working on it

Today i had 1 signal bar and it said extended without 3G on my iPhone and what Sprint told me was that this was happening since they are getting ready to launch NV LTE in your area and they are working on the towers near your house . They said it should be ready for the 19th

Oh ok.. I'm so impatient, looking for LTE to pop up in my area. With LTE its like I have a different phone.

I'm also waiting till they light up my area LTE makes a difference

I am back over there on Tues. Will check it out. Where on Hoe? I was near the Laundry Mat on the corner of Hoe Ave.

I had to put my iphone on air plane mode and then turn it off to get LTE but it would last about 1 min and then go away

 

 

OK that explains a lot. I could always reconnect , but the speeds would slow down quickly and kick me back to 3g. Hopefully we get a prelaunch within a month.

I hope so

Getting amazing 3g speeds in Chelsea at 23rd 8th!

 

Goods speed i get good speeds also it just depends what time of the day it is my area has a lot of people on the towers and tends to get slow around 12pm

I went to Hoe avenue today to test LTE and it was very spotty. I was excited to see the 4g icon, but I couldn't even finish a speed test. It would start at LTE and finish the speed test in 3G. It's not ready for prime time, but hopefully it's a sign of what's to come.

 

 

For reference: I'm on a Galaxy S3 running JellyBomb 4.3 Jellybean leak.

That also happen to me when i was up there they have some towers with LTE but some on not on yet they are just testing them that's what sprint told me and also it might be spotty since theirs more 3G thowers then LTE live now

Ooh alright

LTE showing up on 174th and Hoe Ave.

I was up their today it would show LTE on my iphone with 2 bars of signal but then go back to 3G it wouldn't stay on LTE

Finally more are showing up

 

 

network.sprint.com was put in place to show customers the upgrades they are doing to help the legacy network function until Network Vision would be complete. Whether they use it for Network Vision later down the road or not, no one knows yet, is up to them. However, it has a 12 month rolling window of time, past 6 months and next 6 months, so there are some things that appear to never leave the list.

Yup that's true

 

 

What customer service tells you may not be true. Some reps tell you something they just made up. Sprint told me that WiMax would come to my small town just outside of Las Vegas, and it never did. What you find on this site and even now on Sensorly is more accurate than what you could ever get out of Sprint customer service.

What they have on Network.sprint.com never updates its always the same

I saw a van from Alcatel Lucent in my area I think they have LTE up in my area but blocked so no one can connect to it

 

 

Sprint is not actually doing the work. They hired AlcatelLucent, who then has hired sub-contractors to do the actual work. There are many reasons that work could have started late in your market, and I know it's going slow, but with time and patient, you will see results soon. AlcatelLucent has been further behind in Network Vision work in general as well.

They need to hurry up with NYC they told me before 2013 we should have LTE in NYC .

That's good to see more coming live!! I wish they had updated all their sites in queens so I could get LTE but maybe in nov. I'll see LTE

Bronx , NY welcomes LTE. was at the McDonalds on White Plains Road and Allerton avenue, and to my surprise my Galaxy Nexus had the 4g icon. Will return tommorrow with speed test.

Yea it been there for a while check this out http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1901-network-visionlte-new-york-city-market/page__st__140

I think they are good for this city since is so big.

I can't wait till they light up corona queens!! I like those speeds

I mean the site is in 108 and 38th ave corona ny most of the sites are up they are just missing the antennas
