Ment to post this a few weeks ago now but durring the webn fireworks newport side i was able to pull 35mbps on the river infront of the aquarium that shows what great strides sprint has made

Do any of their towers go in to Eastern ky or eastern ohio?

Just spent a day down in BG territory and 3g only and my s6 edge was saying roaming when my account updates I'll let you all know if it is truly roaming as I had to use GPS alot while there

I'm going to be going to a BG only area in 2 weeks I'll see if a android phone pinks up lte

I removed Signal Check from my phone after all the upgrades were finished but I guess this speedtest shows that sensorly is measuring combined bands. Does anyone know if Signal Check is doing that? Looks like the notification only shows one band, huh?

The latest updates show b41.2 when you in a area that has a 2nd carrier

the northern ky portion of the cincinnati outage has been fixed anyone else know about the rest of the outage 

sprints network is down for all of cincinnati ohio dayton ohio most of Indiana Chicago and milwaukee sounds like someone made a booboo lol 

Exciting times can't wait till they start expanding coverage and getting more tower density to take out the dead spots in lte coverage keep up the good work sprint

Yes some maps that i did on monday are now updated on the map

I believe it's a simple profile update. What kind of phone do you have? You may be able to turn on CA manually.

Galaxy s6 edge

Is there a way to force the update if your in a market that is releasing this?

don't compare northern ky to the rest of ky and Columbus is too close to Pittsburgh to "rule" cincinnati isn't the best but at least it isn't Cleveland lol 

woohoo finally a huge update in the cincy market almost all of northern ky is nv 1.0 upgraded with at least 3g service looks like they might be finished by middle to late july with towers that is full upgrades may take later for more info on what towers have been upgraded please donate what ever you can  

Florence and Union now have LTE !!!!!! Purple being laid as I type this

The tower at dixie hwy on the boone kenton county line is now broadcasting 800 voice

the tower on mall road had a guy working on it it is a tower that used to be a flag pole tower that has been upgraded to a full tower don't know how far along they are yet though 

I will be shocked if we don't have a cluster go live by the end of feb

$57 per month? year?  there is no way it costs $57 per month per sub.  it is more along the lines of $5 or so.

thank you for the clearing up my confusion on that so it was 57 a year per sub not month back when i worked at insight 

what most people don't understand about the cable indestry, is they are almost always "RE" broadcasting someone elses signal. so that being said broadcast companies have been pushing cable companies around for the last 10 yeas. in some cases asking for a 500% raise in revenue case in point when i worked for insight communications "the game show network" said "pay us 400% more or we won't let you broadcast our signal anymore" insight thankfully said bye bye GSN another network that costs absolutely TOO much is ESPN which makes up about 1/4 of what we all pay for our cable bill. most cable companies lose money on "Cable" but internet and phone are theirs and its 100% pure profit, hence the reason why double play offers and triple play offers are often less then having cable by itself. i currently work for comcast through a contractor servicing the greater boston market and western new england market that includes states like CT NH NY ME. currently if you have just cable, every channel will cost you around 170 dollars plus tax. every channel plus 50 meg internet plus unlimited phone costs 167 plus tax both  packages are 1 DVR HD and every channel and just so everyone knows ESPN cost to insight was 57 dollars per subscriber i don't know what it costs time warner or comcast but it wouldn't be hard to guess that its close to the same if not more as the number i have is from 4 years ago 

Looks like the tower on mall road got upgraded as normal downloads were 12kbps now its 1.2mbps that is what I got at 18 and huston road

yeah clear hows alot of its own towers and own deployment even when the site is co-located there may be clear upgrades but sprint still has legacy equipment like the colerain area and no triband phone will work without the CSFB being on all the towers in that area and that won't happen till samsung upgrades the tower and the legacy equipment is taken out IE (4g only sites won't have CSFB) as you are still connecting to legacy equipment for voice and text  

If you download the app "Signalcheck Pro" you can see what tower your phone is connected to and it can show you on a map. It's two dollars I believe but fun to watch when you are around town. Sensorly is the other favorite app that shows where LTE has been spotted (purple). I'm sure many of us including myself use these two apps and they should be helpful for you as well.

where's that at

i was at tri-county sprint paying my bill my SG III picked up 4G LTE.... the rep told me the signal was coming from Mulhauser Road

but the signal was weak, as i was going home i was on princeston pike on 747 i still  got 4G LTE, he said they are turning 4G on

for a bit then off

yes i highly recommend those apps i use them daily starting in march i'll be using them on my routes when i start doing outside sales again i'll be mapping purple in alot of new places and getting paid while i do it lol 

I ran into a crew at IN03UB081 in RIchmond, IN.  They were swapping the panels because they had  accidentally installed 2 of them in the wrong sector. (I did not realize it made a difference)  They were scheduled to do a "Cutoff" (switch to the new backhaul) today for this cluster.  Since they had to swap the panels, this has been moved to February 7th he stated.

 

He also said that they are also in the process of installing 2.5 cards in all of the towers in the Cincinnati market.....

awesome news 

Any tri-band lte phones coming to sprint soon?

there are already a few tri band phones the galaxy s4t the galaxy maga the galaxy mini the new nexus phone i think its called the nexus 5
