    emerald hills area of hollywood. Theres been LTE on Sheridan and southward towards Hollywood Blvd. and northward around Griffin to the airport but never in between. Today I finally got driving around my neighborhood. Around 8 mbps dl. But as usual, literally as soon as I entered a Winn Dixie and my house, the 4G was gone and back to 3G. Still haven't been able to connect to 4G inside a building. One step at a time

     

    The only inside LTE I get is at one place so far at a friends house in West Park in her room near the window, but its only 1-2 bars and every time I get it it keeps switching from 3G to LTE every few minutes. But its so bad that LTE is going slower then dial-up internet from 1995 and it even changed my phones time it picks up from the network to 5:16pm when it was 8:30pm and it never went back to the correct time until I went outside her house. So to be honest your not really missing anything as of now with inside LTE and it is better that your not picking up inside LTE yet

  2. Just got off the phone with sprint and a tower is out in my area an phone is on constant roaming an i can barley use the internet thanks to the tower being out. They say it should be up tomorrow

     

    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.

  3. I have some more LTE to report, this is in Hallandale Florida on Hallandale Beach Blvd yesterday(10/22) going west right after the I95 overpass and it was on for a few more minutes on Hallandale Beach Blvd 1042p6p.jpg

     

    this was also yesterday(10/22) in Hallandale Florida on Pembroke Rd going east right past the I95 overpass and it was on for about a minute. Also, the speeds don't look that great, the upload speeds to me look like upgraded 3G speeds and the download speed I was getting is the download speed(and lower numbers) I am getting on the very bad Sprint 3G network that I get all around town now. I just hope they fix/upgrade there LTE speeds to become up to par with what is considered the LTE standard. s426aw.jpg

     

    this was yesterday(10/22) this was taken on I95 going north getting on from Hollywood blvd, and once I passed Griffin Rd the LTE cut off. Also, on this same trip I got on 595 going west and right after I got off the ramp that connects you from I95 to 595 LTE came on for literally 1 second then turned off. 2jfxis4.jpg

  4. i am happy to report that not only has LTE been popping up in south broward (along the 95 corridor) but also 3G speeds have DRASTICALLY improved in those areas as well as areas near the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport. I drove from my house off of stirling east to the 95 and north and then east on the 595 checking 3G speed tests the whole way (I also got a faint LTE signal).. and normally where 3G speeds are abysmal (anywhere from .01 mbps up to about .4 mbps in the middle of the day) They are now anywhere from .8 mbps off of stirling up to 1.6 mbps CONSISTENTLY as I continued to do speed test after speed test. Ping times were under 90 ms as well. Crazy to see once I passed the airport, it's like I hit a wall and all of a sudden, bam, speeds were back to .08 mbps and ping times 800+. This is besides the LTE that I have confirmed from Sheridan St southward to just north of Hallandale Beach Blvd.

     

    Where on Hallandale beach Blvd? Because I live right on Hollywood beach 1 min away from Hallandale and took Hallandale Beach Blvd from the Hallandale Beach bridge all the way to 441 today in the afternoon and I got no LTE and the 3G speed was the normal horrible pre network vision 3G speed where nobody can do anything and the ping was at and around 1,090 and the download was at and around 0.01 and the upload was at and around 0.06.

  5. This has just been my experience...

     

    When LTE keeps coming and going in a new area...they are working on it and it's imminent. Hardest part is being patient...but it's worth it. Did you get to run any speed tests?

    no because I am having problems with my data on 3G so I had factory reset it earily that day and when I went on the app store with LTE to download Speedtest.net and Sensorly it took for ever. Also, LTE as you said they are working on it so it is slow and comes and goes, so the LTE was slow with the downloads and then it went back to 3G be for they downloaded and it took a very long time to download like over 30 min at least per app

  6. In Hollywood, I drove by Johnson street and parked right by Memorial Hospital. 33 megs down and 9 megs up.

    I live on Hollywood Beach 2 buildings north of the Diplomat Hotel and right now my speeds suck on my iPhone 5 I'm getting Ping:954 download:0.02 upload:0.12 and this is how it has been through out south Florida from downtown Miami to Boynton Beach for me from day one with my iPhone 5 and Sprint service. By the way I took a trip from my office(a few blocks away from Jackson Memorial Hospital) to Glades Rd exit by Glades Rd and 441 in Boca Raton to see Family via 95 North and the whole way there and once I got there I could not use the phone at all for data, nothing would load at all none of apps, Siri, or web browsing and when I tried to make a call with in a few second the call would drop. So then the next day we went from Boca Raton to Delray Beach to see more family and the same thing keeps happening with the data and voice. So after that later in the day we went to Boynton Beach where LTE has been conferred via a screen shots by a user with an iPhone 5(just like me) and when I went to Boyton Beach no LTE at all and we went through most of Boynton Beach, and the Speeds where the same like always.

  7. In our Sponsor section we show maps of completed Network Vision/LTE sites that have been accepted by Sprint. The location of a site near Boynton Beach appeared in yesterday's update: Here is the link for more information about becoming a Sponsor of this site: http://s4gru.com/ind...come-a-sponsor/

    I just donated you money, so let me know what I do now. Also, I for got to put my screen name in the pay pall thing as well sorry about that

  8. That's exactly what I get when I go outside my house in Hollywood. Unfortunately as soon as I go inside, it goes back to 3G.

     

    no LTE came on once then while I was still out side it went off and I never seen it again even after going inside then coming back out side, and I have not seen it come on anywhere else

  9. Try jumping on the 95 going north. You'll hit it immediately (I've put it on sensorly)

    yes I have done that I went from Hallandale Beach Blvd exit on I95 to East Cypress Creek exit on 95 and was there for 5 hours and on the way there I never got it, while I was there I never got it and on the way back either Also, I went to Plantation all over Plantation for hours and I never got it and on the way there I never got it, while I was there I never got it and on the way back either.
  10. Most likely they are working on a nearby tower, or you are out of range of a more distant power where you had an RF anomaly where the distant signal was just barely strong enough at that moment in the position and location you were in at that exact moment.

    but even when I drive around any where I never get it either, like I said before the closet I get to LTE is my phone searching. Also, I seen you post a screen shot of someone having LTE in Boyton Beach FL(I think) and I happened to go there the other day to see family and we drove around most of Boyton Beach and I never got the LTE I seen from the screen shot, in fact most of the time I was here I got the "0"

  11. I posted this in another post but I think it belongs in here. well I live in Hollywood FL zip 33019 and once last Friday My iPhone 5 had picked up LTE for literally a few seconds and it never came back again. But the phone is always starting to go from service to searching now when LTE is enabled ever since that happened, but it never picks up LTE and it ends up going back to the way it was. Also, it's starting to do this quite often, so what does that mean? and why did LTE come up for such a quick second and never came back again? could it be people working on the tower checking something?
