I was for months getting 4g inside here in Knoxville but now everytime I pick up my phone it says 4g then if you use it goes back to 3g. Also I can see my lte tower and was never impressed by speeds even outside all I ever get is maybe 7mb down.

Getting g 21 down here off cherry street since they turned that Nichols Ave tower on. I'm really starting to stay on 4g a lot from Knoxville to seymour

That being said I know the scope of the rollout and how hard and difficult it can be. I just don't want to be in 2015-16 and still be sup par to other carriers and I bought stock in sprint with the hope they will complete the rollout as soon as possible and have a viable strong network. keeping fingers crossed

Yeah Ive not ben very impressed with the rollout. I remember last September Sevierville was on the list for the coming months now here we are almost a year later with very spotty 4g. I just thought with them so far behind the other 2 they would be really pushing the rollout but hey att I get no signal at my house and Verizon is so damn expensive so im not leaving anytime soon.

I know there for awhile they were on a good pace then nothing. I look everyday, check sensory and nothing I agree with you it feels like they just left.

 

Tell me about it. Its like they just closed up shop and left town several weeks ago.

I hate when we have little or no progress for weeks in the knox/Sevier area

That sucks I would have figured that one was all ready to go already. Thanks for the info.

Sorry I've been away for a while. Still no update on this tower. The antennas are still there and so is the coax spools. Not sure what they are waiting on but I hope if the weather clears up some they will finally come finish this one.

Finally 4g at home. they turned two towers on this week on Chapman Hwy. It dosent penetrate the house very good at all but 3g never did either but if by a window or outside I get about 15mbps.

Come on sprint. Beautiful day to lite up some towers.

I have noticed that if I run sensorly that a lot of time it wont switch to 4g very quick. If I go through the same spots without it running its seems to switch to 4g much earlier. I have tested the last few days on  route to work and 2 days it only connected once with sensorly running granted these are weaker signals but I drove 2 days same exact route and watched my phone and it switches much earlier in fact I stopped before a spot that sensorly picks up ran lte discovery connected then mapped and it added it to sensorly. I'm just wondering if while mapping the phone is so busy that it delays switching over.

 

I know it wont matter when more towers come online but for us that look to add even the weakest signals to sensorly maps its just kinda irriatating. this is on an s3 to b the way which usually picks up quicker than wifes evo lte 

I know the phone only checks for lte every so often to but I took that into consideration when preforming these test

Yeah that's where I work. I was just joking thought it was funny. There's a tower about 2 miles from there I'm waiting on.

Although I do have a question it seems some towers that are on and have supposedly been on for a few weeks are very weak do they not turn them on fully when they flip the switch. I can connect but have to be very close and even then it's hard to hang on to signal.

Come on Erricson I need this location  covered !!!! LOL

Any news on this tower?

 

Might make some people happy but drove by the Hutchinson Ave tower this morning to find the spools of new coax, moving the cabinets into place, and of course the most important the guys assembling the antennas on the ground with all 3 ruus in place. And sorry for the bad pics I was zooming in from across the street.

That tower would finally give me 4g at work

Cool hope that Hutchinson Ave one is done soon.

Its off in Seymour someone mapped it in 2 places in Seymour Friday sensorly shows 2 bars so it cant be from the Kodak tower way to far. I've tried to map it since saturday but cant get a signal. I bet it will be on fully this week

They have been busy there is a tower on Wears Valley rd, Morristown, Seymour all in the past couple days. Hope they keep it up.

I see 4g popping up in Seymour now. Awesome

Was picking up LTE off Douglas dam Rd in Sevierville didn'thave enough battery to map it but saw on completed maps that they turned one on in kodak.

No news is good news doesn't really work that well here.

I picked up LTE down Chapman Hwy with LTE discovery not enough to hold on or map it. I don't think I was close enough to any known working lte towers. I have ran it before and never got anything down that road I marked it on the map here hopefully promising news or just phantom singnal

Awesome hope to see another tower light up by the end of the week.

That was gay street and market square couldn't get it at all in parking garage on walnut street. But there was a ton of people for rossini

So that might be why
