Erigion

The most disheartening thing about all these upgrades is that none are listed for NW DC where I live. There were one or two listed as upcoming on the older version of network.sprint.com, but there's a giant swath of nothing on the map right now. I understand why they're concentrating on downtown DC because that's where I work and speeds are pretty terrible, but it'd be nice to see some expanded coverage in the living areas of the city because my 3g speeds are even worse at home than they are at work.

Don't hold your breath for better service in the Metro. The last major update I've seen was a story in the Washington Post about half a year ago saying that the carriers were falling behind schedule and they would need more support from Metro to get the job done on time. If history is any indication, Metro is probably not up to the task. Even if it means missing the deadline required for 1.5 billion dollars of federal funding. Although, officials have said that the work in 75% complete. The only problem is that service at stations cannot be switched on one by one. They need to switch on almost the entire system at once. For once, I hope to be surprised with Metro's efficiency and management. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/commuting/cellphone-service-undergoes-improvements-in-dc-metro-transit-system/2011/09/23/gIQAZhY7tK_story.html http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/dc/2011/09/metro-falling-short-promised-cell-phone-service-upgrade/118681
