This seems to be oddly reminiscent of the WiMax deployment...not sure how Sprint can get away doing this as it does not appear to meet minimum coverage with the BTA. II've back to 3G 80& of the time with all towers upgraded and without any further upgrades I will be switching to T-Mobile. Waiting for 4G I barely get that averages less than 3mbps with good signal is unacceptable.

LTE connection observations - Summer 2014
AJColaSC replied to fubka's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I haven't been getting consistent LTE since the end of April either. Places i used to get strong LTE are now between 3G and mediocre LTE, places where I would connect to weak LTE are 3G only. Inside LTE coverage does not exist outside of the 1 mile radios of the tower in my area. -
My speeds have gone from 20+ to 2mbps with good signal in the past month. I managed 6mbps on a Sunday in the Vista but that was it... I'll be calling CTMS tomorrow hopefully and getting some information. LTE with 1bar (-110-115 dbm) is aweful and usually not stable enough to stream audio.

I'm not running a Sprint / Samsung Touchwiz ROM so I cannot answer for those applications. However, the following link should display the same information you are asking about. Not much regarding NV of late for me. Have dropped calls now and previously may have been tower under upgrades. http://zone.sprint.com/servicetrender/getstatus?mdn=[Yournumberhere] Note: Your post was difficult to read and was thus skipped after several English errors.

Been getting alerts from Signal Check Pro about 1x 800 coverage in the Columbia area. Phone seems to treat it like a roaming condition as it tries to cycle to a different tower or frequency so it may have pretty low priority in the PRL.

LTE will not be turned up until appropriate backhaul is in place (not T1 lines). It is true most backhaul is not ready and that is probably a big reason for the large amount of 3G only sites completed, the equipment may be ready but the 4G will not be activated until backhaul is ready. Signal strength does not correlate to backhaul, it is true that you may receive LTE from a futher tower than 1x which would explain a huge difference (>15dbm). I checked several sites that are 4G live and they are either ATT or TWC provided.

There is definitely some bogus or testing data on I-77 before after forest Dr. and Blythewood. Those towers are definitely not broadcasting LTE at this time. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

It's the upgrades that were supposed to be finished already but there is no one there. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

For those of you with LTE phones that are getting no evdo or 3G connections when they are doing towel upgrades switch to CDMA only mode. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

I just had a huge issue with the past 24 hours after Modem & Kernel flash wiped all my activation info. I replaced MSID and data login info but still no data connection with after going back to Stock, a Hard Reset, Hands Free Activation or Profile Update (which is where error showed up). Long -> Short Sprint rep said it was a Samsung only error and needs to be elevated to manufacturer. Give Sprint a call and have them send off a ticket, mine was fixed within a couple hours after having no data all day.

I think the tower at the corner of Devine and Rosewood is in progress, pics here.

LTE PRL with Verizon 3G Roaming?
AJColaSC replied to nahum365's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
25xxx is not 3G roaming AFAIK, at least on verizon I picked up 24006 from xda which should be LTE and is definitely 3G VZW roaming (regional) Edit: digiblur is right. Uploaded LTE PRLs 24006.zip LTE_PRL.zip -
Couldn't check it out because of time but there were definitely 4+ guys up there working on equipment and Sprint signal is definitely down. Saw a work trailer and what looked like some newer panels but it was hard to say.

Could be a backhaul upgrade in preparation for NV. Or temporary upgrades hard to say. That tower is pretty massive though, I would think they would be on site preparing well in advance with a drop container full of cable rolls and new equipment.
-
On top the storage place? I'll be by there tomorrow, might be able to check it out. Doubtful its NV though as I don't see that starting here until late next year.

Noticed they upgraded most of the towers adding carriers and T1/Fiber runs and have cut out a lot of further updates. Speed has increased most everywhere I've seen, from 150 to 300kbps, and 300 to 600kbps, etc. If the earlier report was right about fiber coming downtown I'm sure that was a big part of it. Latency to Spirit (downtown Columbia) is still horrible, even when 2 miles away. Much faster communicating with Greensboro, NC test server. Hope this gets nailed down as it seems to be a terrible routing setup.

Lancaster, SC? Really? The city with barely over 10,000 people?
-
Check one of the other SC threads. Short answer: don't hold your breath.

I broadcast both 2.4/5 GHz for Wifi and the 5 is terrible for penetration/reception especially between floors on small antenna phones. There was an ICS power issue for 5 as well on the E4GT.

This is a forum, not a blog. That said, Sprint does not make any LTE information site by site publicly available. Definitely not on the network.sprint.com site for tower upgrades. Do not look there. However, if you become a sponsor (see donate link) the private sponsor section has all the information you could ever want on LTE rollouts on a site by site basis.
