Wait so by posting a complaint about Sprint I am breaking some sort of rule? I'm sorry, but in reading this rule, I do not see how my post violates it. Yes, I was complaining about Sprint, however I was sharing frustration with another poster, thus keeping it relevant to the conversation. My post was not intended to be a 'rant', just meant to be a response to the post I quoted. I know this isn't the sprint customer service page. Besides, they have already heard an ear full from me, which yielded no result. That being said, I suppose I'll keep future complaints about Sprint to myself. I obviously don't post on here often anyway... I just come here to check on the progress of the LTE rollout in St. Louis. Sorry if my post came off more rant-ish than I intended. I'm just frustrated with Sprint.
If the deployment process is going to be faster than what I'm thinking, thats great. Honestly, though, I think mike7n2004 was right. Sprint's staff really has no idea what to expect when it comes to rollout dates, as evidenced by people such as him and myself that were expecting it to have happened already. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the new towers in St. Louis that have gone up (such as the one at Lumiere) just 3G towers? Have they started work on ANY LTE sites in the St. Louis area yet? I know Joplin is in progress as we speak, but work in Joplin now doesn't necessarily mean work in St. Louis will be starting as quickly as we would hope. There's a lot to do in Joplin, and it may be a while before they can start moving workers and resources toward St. Louis. Dkoellerwx, I am afraid I do not share your optimism about St. Louis' LTE rollout. I'm sorry to say it, but based on how slow it's been thus far, and based on how long it takes from the time Sprint starts working on the first site until LTE starts hitting people's phones, I don't think the end of Spring is a good projection for St. Louis. I honestly expect 2014 to be when my phone shows an LTE logo in the notification bar, which is why I'm upset. Fall 2013 at the earliest.
I really hope that I'm wrong about this. And if anyone has any updates about LTE sites in the St. Louis area that proves me wrong, please tell me. I welcome it.
