correct me if I'm wrong, but seems to me the downside of spark is that it relys on 2500 mHz for all that speed, and those frequencies have really poor propagation and building penitration characteristics. The upside is that there should be plenty of spectrum with 3 bands in use, plus it appears that they are doing the back haul right. If I can get consistent 5 mHz or better on my mobile I'll be happy.

I was down in that area today, drove along Hampden between Quebec and I25 and didn't get a hint of LTE with my Galaxy S3. I also haven't been able to pick up LTE along I25 between 58th and US36 like I could before. Makes me think that these sites were only up for a short period for testing and we caught them in the act.

Obviously most of us don't "need" to carry around lots of data on our phones, just like we don't "need" 30 meg download speeds, 5" screens (or even color for that matter). But for those of us who work on the road a lot it's nice to be able to keep our big music libraries, a few movies and lots of photos and docs in the phone. Right now I have a 64GB microSD card on my phone with about 40GB used. I also like the utility of being able to take the card out and plug it into a computer for fast data backup. Way faster than OTA or through a data cable.

And I just got home and discovered 1x800 voice! Signalcheck says it's coming from 162 High Country Drive, Lafayette, about 2 miles from me. That's new too! Just compared that to the top secret member only maps, and that site is marked with a brown dot, indicating it has yet to be upgraded. Since 1x800 would indicate that NV is up an running on that site, that would confirm that the work in Northwest Denver metro is farther along than the maps indicate. One further note, I usually get 0 to 1 bar of service on the ground floor of my house. With 1x800 I am getting 3 to 5 bars. What a nice surprise!

If you are referring to my post about incomplete map updates, this is something that has been mentioned several times in this thread publicly. I don't think I was sharing anything said in confidence. If I was I apologize. Edit: Found this public reply from Merlin from a while back. No secrets were reveled. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2172-network-visionlte-colorado-market-denvercolo-springsfort-collinspueblogrand-jct/?view=findpost&p=238034
