  1. The tower on 51 near Providence is showing a "data speed upgrade" on the network.sprint.com maps, but nothing on S4GRU yet (I know Robert is on vacation). This is around where I live so I am naturally anxious to see progress in this area.

     

    I've noticed that 3G speeds are faster in that area. I can even pull LTE in parts of the Arboretum parking lot, though based on the signal strength I believe it's from a distant tower.

  2. Finally! got an LTE signal at the Arboretum today for the first time. It was pathetic, speed-wise, but at least it was there.

     

    Robert, should we see speeds increase as Sprint completes the roll-out? My Nexus 4 on TMO still kills Sprint's LTE speeds 9 times out of 10.

  3. On New Year's Day I was able to keep an LTE signal on Providence Rd from Sharon Amity south up until you get to the Arboretum Apartments.

     

    That's the first time it's held the LTE signal all the way through without dropping back to EVDO. I look forward to seeing if these changes can fix the horrible coverage in the Arboretum. Hopefully that tower will be next.

  4. I was watching the Clemson/Carolina game at a buddy's house off Sharon Amity last night, saw LTE pop up on my new Note and grabbed a few speed tests along Providence and Sharon Amity.

     

    Sensorly wasn't working for me, so I didn't update the maps, but here's a screen shot of my tests.

  5. Slightly OT, but I was at the Sprint corporate store in the Promenade (South Charlotte off Providence/485) this morning checking out the Note 2, and while none of the phones were able to connect to LTE, I was getting great WiMax coverage with my SGS2 and had a speed test of over 10mb down/1.5mb up. It has typically been 3mb at the most.

     

    3G was still around 250 kb/s, though.
