Anyone hear anything about hanover st tower downtown being upgraded??..w.main st is been running LTE now for a bit and working good seems....anyone???

W.main st tower in meriden shows as a LTE tower on the map...hopefully the hanover st tower downtown is next..this would be so awsome since these 2 towers have been horrible for over a year almost 2 years.

w.main st tower doesnt seem to have LTE lately....must be just testing phase...timh can you elaborate a bit since you work in the area???

Oh yeah thats a typical day...those speeds is what ive been complaining about since november 2011...but things are looking up and from the research ive done and the conversations ive had with certain sprint reps, the service Will rival verizon and sprint should in no time become #1...its been painfull for the moment but good things come to those who wait.

i think there testing because once there turn it on theres usually a 90 day optimization period..after a few days or a week or so should be getting better. when idrove by the tower phone didnt switch to 4g until i was at morans tv and turned off at hubbard park..then coming back held on to 4g until hanover st. so things are lookin up...now the hanover st tower downtown needs to be upgraded and the we will be in business 

drove by the tower at 7:20 this morning and the 4g came on and did a speedtest and i got 18.63 down and 6.07 up with 56 ms ping...and my phone held on to the 4g until hanover st..gotta remember to turn on sensorly now and map the area.

is the LTE on or did you happen to catch some testing?? i switched over to my iphone 4s on friday because there is only LTE at the mall on the west side, and according to the s4gru map its still a 3g tower, and when i last spoke to a rep LTE wasnt sappose to be anytime just yet but active by the end of the year...will have to go back to my htc one and do some investigating.

anybody catch the news posted on facebook by the administrater??...more citys being announced for LTE and southern ct/new haven is on the list, being new haven county and meriden and wallingford being part of the switch being turned on.

Saw a alcatel-lucent truck coming down w.main st went by me at maloneys pub about 3pm today...they are definately in the area and maybe a sign of good things to come

yup no LTE but they did do a 1900mhz 3g upgrade and LTE is gonna be in the next 2/3 months..spoke with a rep that has the tools to see alot and what is being done where and from what he saw and whats being done is little increment upgrades being done at a time to each tower..so its a slow process but is moving forward from now until december...i drive by w.main st everyday back and forth to work and live in the are so my eyes are peeled, but the count down has begun.

Its official..w.main st tower is under going upgrades and work is sappose to be completed 10/8/2013 8pm eastern time..so more of the west side should be seeing there 4G symbols come on soon...dont forget to map it on sensorly!!

talk to a rep yesterday because of 3g data and voice issues and sapposeibly a work order for NV has opened sept.30th for the tower on hanover st. at minimum we should see 3g improvements if not LTE to start to come on..lets keep our fingers crossed as to the tower on w.main st should be right along with it.

nice timh...i havnt had a vehicle for about 2 weeks so i havnt been able to see anything going on...i drive past that tower everyday bringing the wife back and forth to work but since the the vehicle has been out of commision havnt seen anything, i sure hope they are doing NV upgrades because i have been losing 3g data connection..and that tower is 2nd closest while the hanover st tower is the main tower i hit off of...hopefully its a sign of good things to come.

They are putting up sprint LTE panel on top of the west main tower

Did you happen to talk to one of the crew members or did you get a good glance at the equipment being installed??

Definately not downtown meriden, been losing 3g connection and at times for long periods of time, and signal has been flucuating all over the place along with voice quaility being an issue...have no idea what is up with that tower on hanover st. Far as i know work hasnt even begun on hanover or w.main st yet...hopefully soon.

the tower that serves my area is by far the worst ive seen in almost 8 years...pings as high as 2400 ms and download is 0.03 mbps and upload is about the same...after even speaking with tier 2 engineers they all say its capacity issues, and at times if im not connected to wi-fi my phone is useless for data...so i know your pain timh...the last bit of info i heard as of july 1st was 3-6 months when all the upgrades would be finished...so lets keep our fingers crossed..the sooner the better!!...lol

the tower behind starbucks is indeed a LTE tower and has been since about january/febuary...what they were doing there wouldnt have a clue but maybe adding more as far as NV upgrades...hopefully that is a good sign as to work coming to the w.main st tower and hanover st. here in meriden..those 2 towers are the last 2 that need to be upgraded and so desperately need it...thanks for the update and photo banananuts87.

I see guys working on the tower on top of hunters on west main st Meriden

When did you see guys working on the tower??..i go by that tower twice a day and i havent seen anything in few weeks to about a month now...did you happen to catch the name of the company out there??

as of today no change in the time frame of NV...as of july 1st still 3-6 months and was told that a memo was given a couple days ago that by the end of 2013 NV is sappose to be %80 complete...now just sit back and wait and hope it happens sooner than later.

Talked to 2nd tier ticket support and supervisors in network support who when talking to them you know they know what there talking about, and he assured that NV is going forward but all the red tape they can possibly run into has popped up...but both hanover st. And w.main st are both getting 3G and 4G upgrades and hanover st being on the priority side in a nutshell he related that both towers should be upgraded 3-6 months and made it sound like 6 months being the longest scenario...have eyes on both towers and as soon as i see a crew i will take pictures and maybe try and get some info from one of the crew members.

the crew was from a company called marcus....radio communications maybe???

my first time posting..from what i have been told by sprint reps in the network engineering dept. that the towers on the west side of meriden being w.main and s.vine st...and hanover st are to be upgraded with in 3-6 months and this info was as of july 1st. the last time i seen any crew on the tower on w.main st was back in january/febuary and recently in the begining of august but the company didnt look like a cell crew but maybe for hunters radios as i talked to a employee and they have been working the bugs out of there system. just upgraded to a LTE device and want to do some LTE testing which i know is live at the mall, the old fosdick building on s.broad st behind starbucks, and a building on paddock ave. down the street from the state police academy. keeping my fingers crossed for some NV upgrades soon here as i to know what the service has been like on this side of town..im including my findings from the last time a saw a crew at hunters.
