    Possibly. It wasn't skipped, something is just taking longer, or they haven't gotten to it yet. It shouldn't be too long now though.

     

    I hope so. I got lte to the south of me in coral springs an to the north of me in delray. But boca must have strict laws against tower work or somthing cause I went by like 5 towers an nothing which surprises me

  2. I wish boca raton wasnt so stingy with permits to work on towers. Some one told me boca raton was late on some upgrades due to tower permits by the city an county which took a long time. Thats what a sprint store manager told me anyways. My hopes are for Christmas lte to start showing

    There's no real way to know for sure. That website has been tracking the maintenance updates that are mean to hold over the network until NV work arrives, but has also recently been showing a speed upgrade when LTE arrives. Most likely, it was just a maintenance update. If you happen to go by the tower, look for the new NV panels on the tower. If those are present, then NV may be starting on that tower.

     

    The tower is right across the way from my work ill check it out.

    To be honest I think the whole market is messed up because one day I took a ride from my office in Miami(By Jackson Hospital) all the way to Boca (by Glades Rd and 441) to see family and the whole ride up to Boca my internet was not working not one web site would load and I even left one site up the whole way and nothing. Also the whole ride my bars where low like 1-2 bars and at times it switched between Sprint and Extended and I even had one or 2 dead spots. Then once I got to there house I saw no improvement the whole time I was there, and I ended up sleeping over and the next day we took a ride from Boca to Delray Beach(a few blocks from the Beach and downtown) to see more family and that little trip from Boca to Delray Beach and the whole time I was there I saw no improvement at all again.

     

    I found out there working on 2 towers by glades an boca rio road thats why its so bad. The sprint lady said there upgrading those towers an the tower is only running at 60 percent

  5. I'm having serious issues in boca. I'm constantly roaming an I'm at work by a tower. It switches from roaming to 1 bar not roaming back to roaming. I might have to call sprint and see what's going on in my area cause i can't load pages really slow. An call quality is bad with no bars. Is this a bad sign in my area?

    I'm pretty sure they're doing work in Boca, what I'm wondering is what caused it to seem like it was skipped over.. Last week I mapped from West Palmetto to Yamato & 95, headed North to Palm Beach Gardens, then went West. When I got a chance to review I noticed the sites I mapped from Boynton to Lake Worth.. I find it interesting something happened that they skipped over OR are behind in Boca & Delray considering we've watched coverage start South and work up to us.

    Whatever the case, we're close!

     

    Yea i dont know why we were skipped. Well we are not skipped its just ericsson works on towers randomly i think. I visited a few towers today an i did not noticed any change to them an i toggled airplane mode an got only 3g. But i looked on the map of where towers were in boca i noticed one on the map that i always pass by an never seen.its by the turnpike an boa rio road but the trick is its on a golf course. So i had to walk behing a party city by following a trail next to a canal an by the way there were gators on the bank but i walked pass them no problem. I followed the trail all the back an sure enough i found the tower. Its not a very tall one i have to say an i could not tell which rack was sprints cause i could not get closer thanks to a fence but i got some pics.

    There not great pics but just showing how small the towers is

  7. Yeah so like I said, it usually takes a couple minutes for it to show on Sensorly.com etc (by my experience).

     

    About how fast LTE is: only place I have experienced fast LTE (as in 25 megs download like you just experienced) has been in the Miami Gardens tower on 47th ave and 183rd st. The towers by the Palmetto and 836 have always been less than 1 meg download! (i have posted about this before and Robert said it might be backhaul etc).

     

    Yo i jus got off the phone with sprint an the guy told me they just finished a tower in west boca raton by the turnpike. I'm going to look up the tower because there is i think 3 towers by the turnpike. I think the intersection is glades an boca rio road. I went by the towers there 3 weeks ago an i got nothing. I'm going to check it out when i get my car back cause my mom stole it lol

  8. I put the coordinates shown in your last screenshot on Sensorly and it shows the area has been mapped. Was this you? I dont know if it was mapped before you, I assume its you since its in the same exact coordinates.
