I found this article today, which has some insight into the issues that Sprint is having with contractors and upgrading backhaul. It also seems that including CDMA upgrades in the NV project means that they have to make sure that 911 service isn't affected which I'm sure is also helping to slow things down. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprints-lte-rollout-hampered-lack-backhaul-and-network-vision-issues/2013-07-24 CNET has more information http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57595175-94/why-sprint-is-taking-its-sweet-time-with-4g-lte/

Just saw that Sprint officially launched Jacksonville today. I'm trying to maintain some optimism, but the rollout has been painfully slow and my experience with LTE thus far is that if I stand outside, in the right spot, the speed is great. However, anywhere that I actually need to use it, you can't get an LTE signal, and the 3g is dial up slow. I've been with Sprint for so long, that I think I have a little Stockholm syndrome. I don't want to wait another year or two for the upgrades, but I can't bring myself to throw in the towel either. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Picked up some LTE in some new places in Jax Beach yesterday. Caught it on Sensory. A little on Penman and some on 9th. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Where did you take this? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I'm in Jax Beach so I now have it south of me in Ponte Vedra and north of me in Atlantic Beach. It will be nice when they get it going around the Town Center and UNF area. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

It looks like there it's a tower just north of Selva. I guess that is the most likely source. They are doing the 26.2 with Donna up there now so a lot of the roads are blocked off. I'll see if I can make it up there later this afternoon and map out out. Tested speed and got 4 down and 1 up at the entrance to Selva standing outside. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I was surprised to pick up 4G in Atlantic Beach near Selva Marina this morning. I mapped it in Sensorly. Ill try and drive around up there later and map out some more. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
