First off, I'm the one who mapped the Sensorly blips on 26/217. Each time, I was connected to LTE according to a the signal apps I use and my phone's LTE Engineering screen. The problem with these signals is that they are very weak (probably from a site fairly far away). We haven't nailed down which tower(s) those signals are coming from, as many sites in the area are being worked on. Tualatin has a site that was accepted by Sprint as 4G complete and is currently broadcasting LTE. EDIT: Just realized that I goofed...the accepted site is in Tigard (off Durham Rd.), not Tualatin. This is an S4GRU policy. This site is not affiliated with Sprint in any way. Can't say much on this, except that the data comes directly from Sprint (which is about all I know anyway) and is highly accurate. I do recommend becoming a Sponsor, as there is a ton more information available in the Sponsor section.

Work is being performed all over the market. The order is primarily dictated by the availability of backhaul, as sites where backhaul is ready receive NV upgrades first. The 3G speed increase you are seeing is a very good sign. Sounds to me like the backhaul vendors may have finished, paving the way for the upgrades to proceed. eHRPD isn't as good of a sign as the enhanced 3G speeds, as it is basically the same as 3G EVDO-A. Many markets have seen eHRPD well before any LTE signal has appeared. More on eHRPD here. I highly recommend becoming a Sponsor, as doing so will give you access to info we can't post in this public thread, such as a map with all towers in the Oregon/SW Washington market and discussion (and pics!) from those of us who are visiting sites and mapping on Sensorly.
