    Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

    Many approved sites now in San Diego this week. Good news, LTE is just around the corner, I hope Christmas we see some towers with LTE! I have a tower near my house on schedule map to be ready by October but is yet to be accepted. The speeds are always above 1Mbps so NV is definitely completed.

    Is there a list of this?

    This is most likely for a new site. New site planning and permitting can take 6 months to a year in a place like California. Most likely San Diego will be well covered with LTE before this site goes live.

    Thanks for the clarification Robert! I usually never pay attention to those notices but I'm glad I found it. And was even more stoked that it was Sprint related. If that site does get approved in sure it'll be aimed towards the Murph (Qualcomm Stadium as everyone else knows it as). The 3G gets overloaded on gameday even in the parking lot.

    I was visiting a friend at La Mirage Apartments off of Santo Road (right above Interstate 15 & The Friars Rd offramp in 92124 zip) and noticed this. A flyer talking about some sort of meeting about a conditional use permit with regards to Sprint's tower here. Can anyone read into this if this means LTE is coming sooner rather than later?

    I don't think the LTE strength is strong inside STAPLES Center, but I am getting some in Section 217, Row 10. Strong enough to stream video though. I have reason to think it's weak because occasionally it does switch from 4G to no data to 3G and eventually switch back to 4G

    First post for me but I've been seeing vastly improved 3G speeds lately in San Diego. Mission Gorge Rd. at I-8 I've been hitting 1.5-1.6 Mbps down, 0.62 up. In Solana Beach I've been at 1.58 Mbps down, .5 up. Been as high as 2.35 down, 0.93 up on 3G in some parts.

     

    Not to say I haven't had my fair share of slow speeds too but I think there is hope.

     

    That's good to hear. What I'm going through is maybe just a hiccup in Sprint improving their data speed.

    Oh, yeah, I am thankful that you use Wi-Fi and that you have reduced your load on the Sprint network by 45 percent to only 11 GB per month. Would you like a hearty round of congratulations?

     

    On the other hand, I am sorry for you that you are such a phone addict. That does not bode well.

    Basically in a nutshell, I do a lot of traveling with the work I do. I have the Slingbox, NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB At Bat apps which allows me to watch my favorite sports teams anywhere there is an internet connection. 90% of that data use is to those apps.

    You should feel a little bit guilty. That is too much data usage -- both for the experience of your fellow users and for your own mental health. And you can use rationalization to excuse many things. "At least, I'm not as bad as that guy."

    I probably should've prefaced that by pointing out that I do use WiFi wherever is available. About a year ago it would be a consistent 20gigs. I'm sorry that I've reduced my usage of Sprint's network by 45% from that period. You should be thankful that I use WiFi. That usage rate would be 2 or 3 times if I didn't go out of my way to use it. I am following Sprint's TOS using that data exclusively on my phone and not illegally tethering and violating said TOS.

    I just read a post over on XDA that a guy is using 10gb of data a day. What the hell can you even do on a phone that uses that much? What makes it worse is that he's aware Sprint doesn't allow that.

    I don't feel so guilty using between 11 to 15 gigs a month on my phone.

    Where I live (I-15 & Mira Mesa Blvd) my speeds indoors are usually between 400-800kbps (not that it usually matters since I use my home WiFi anyways) but when I venture out to the car park at my place it'll range anywhere from 600-1,500kbps. I really do think Sprint is starting to make an effort to improve their data speeds in San Diego County.
