So I got that txt message as well. I'm taking it as this means the upgrades are pretty much finished, and what we have now is that we will have for a while. Maybe this T-Mobile merger could make things better? The good news is that outside of Columbus things really are working pretty well!

It is on.............for every carrier BUT Sprint. Maybe next year.

I live in work in Westerville. I haven't seen anything change since I've been active on this site. I look every day.

No message in Westerville. And I only have one line.

I think it's time for everybody to put on their big boy pants and realize that it's just gonna be a long time. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they have learned from other deployments and ours will be even better!

1x800 will penetrate buildings MUCH better for voice service.

I told you guys! I just hope they regroup and get us the backend bandwidth we really need.

I've been out on vacation for the last week and would like to relay what I have seen out and about. I travel to KY and AL on a regular basis. I have had sporatic LTE connections there over the past several months. This past week I noticed that places where I used to get LTE I did not. And where I did get LTE (Lexington, Frankfort, Pell City, etc) the connection would run very slowly. In fact, most of the time my LTE connection was slower than what I get here on 3g. I really think that with the merger there are some things changing. And obvlously Sprint has backtraked a bit by taking some towers offline. I know in these news articles they keep talking about repurposing WiMax and Nextel frequencies. My opinion is that they are doing exactly that. I just hope they can pick up the pace. IMO I still don't think that we will see widespread LTE in the Columbus area until 2014. One thing that keeps me going is even though the speeds are slow, the coverage is good. I did a T-Mobile trial a few months back and their speeds dominiated Sprint in city areas. Once you drive out of town.....forget it.

How do you flash an 800 prl on a gn2? I can't find instructions on how to do it on mc2.

Just a word of advice. If you enable Google Voice for your phone number, which is a free service through Sprint, you can recieve e-mail for every missed call. That's even if someone doesn't leave you a voicemail. That's the only way that I know I'm missing all these calls over the last week. It's extremeley important to me, I depend on my phone for work. If they give me some LTE here soon in Westerville I will forgive them though! EDIT - my SMS messages also seem to be lagging several minutes behind 10+ mins in some cases.

I'm glad it's not just me with problems in Westerville!

2 towers in 1 month would be awesome. I look at it as the rollout doubled in speed!

I am in Westerville. Its been much much worse since Friday for me.

Have any of you been missing calls? My phone hasn't rang properly for several days. The same is true for my coworkers with Sprint.

Agreed, I used his ROM for a while as well. But your 3 different ROMS flashed when you need comment is exactly my pioint. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we will get the next big android update since our Note 2 has the extra RAM. My co-workers all have the Galaxy and always have the newest versions. I'm totally jealous of the lock screen apps.

Hahaha, I mean it's the only one that we don't have to hack to make work right. I have a Note 2 as well, but installing ROMS is a PITA.

Gnex is the best phone out there for Sprint minus the screen size and battery life.

Maybe I said that wrong. Sprint CEO said the new plans will never remove unlmited data. He didn't say anything about the old plans. I think COZisBack is probably right though. That's how the plans always worked before when they made you change.

I'll show you proof as soon as you show me proof that we will be covered with LTE this year. Haha, I'm just saying there are 1 type of service plans that DON'T specifiy unlimited data for life. And one set of NEW plans that do. I just used the jump to conculsions mat to figure out the rest.

I'm really not trying to be negatvie. But why do you think that they only outline unlimited data locked in for life with the new plans? My guess is they will cut off your current unlimited plan in the next 12 months. But I bet they will give all current customers a chance to move before that.

Well I would REALLY like to see 10 sites a week. Did you guys change your plans to the new locked in unlimited data for life plans?

Well I hate to tell you, but they are gonna need to go faster than 1 tower per month to get it all done this year!

Did that CNET report say Clearwire's high frequency make indoor coverage BETTER!! Hahaha

I hope you guys are right. I mean even the lte in "clusters" has already been proven wrong. We only have one tower live. And its been like that for weeks. And I saw the same thing with single towers last week in Kentucky.
