    From how many people I've read complain about this I'd tend towards the latter. Must be quoting coverage based on a hotspot with a large antenna!

    I'm going keep reiterating what I've been seeing for a while. In the LV, most towers in Bethlehem/Allentown/Easton city propers have been upgraded. If I toggle airplane mode in these areas, it hangs and attempts to connect to LTE (my phone did this exact same thing in Harrisburg when LTE was live but blocked) and then falls back to 3G. I'm not sure why Sprint is blocking connections currently but when they do go live, there will be pretty solid coverage. At least much better coverage than Roberts maps suggest based on "accepted" sites.

    I think what gets lost in this is how easy it is for ANY company to get a bad rep with consumers. My mom was on Verizon ever since she got her first cell phone. I told her repeatedly to come on to my family plan and I had the same feeling about her as is expressed here; that she thought Sprint was just a poor quality company. Verizon completely screwed up her billing one month and she said screw this and came over to my plan and couldn't be happier. So while Sprint has problems, all companies do and that will continue to garner them new subs.

    I wouldn't say it's turned off, most likely blocked. In my area before they unblocked LTE, the data connection would hang when it attempted to connect to LTE but found it was blocked, then would fall back to 3G.

    My sister lives in Meraux. Glad to see the network there is coming alive!

    I should have noted that this was only comparing 1x/EVDO. No LTE comparisons outside of the fact that the SIII is better performing than my EVO LTE.

    The panels directly attached to the tower in the middle look like they could be NV ones.

    For most areas outside of SoLINC one's I believe it's around 14mhz.

    Without a doubt amongst the iPhone5, EVO LTE, and SIII, the iPhone5 is the winner. I posted in the iOS forum regarding this. The external antenna is very well designed in comparison to the internal ones on the android phones.

    I'd say testing and now is blocked.

    I'm going to scour the Lehigh Valley tomorrow for any LTE. Hopefully more sites have gone live.

    You're being quite pedantic. Media is in the Philadelphia market. Please don't be butthurt it isn't in Philadelphia proper.
  13. Boosted20V
    Indeed, good catch. I'll be passing through the LV later today. Hopefully the sites which I know are upgraded have gone live. I'll check it out.

    I assume there is some limit on how much time can be allocated to a single pathway? As in only 90% of the time can ever be diverted to downlink to keep checking if traffic has become available for uplink? Am I way off on that one?

    Pretty sure the speedtests speak for themselves.

    Probably the first cell phone game I ever played! Annoyed the hell out of me!

    How far Nokia has fallen!
  18. Boosted20V
    As you can see from my first post, I saw VERY similar results. Impressive how good that external antenna is, definitely have some newfound respect for Apple's engineering. Wish I would have realized this before I got an EVO LTE!
  19. Boosted20V
    I'd like to chime in again regarding LTE connections. I definitely notice that once a site is added to the LTE log, it must scan more frequently because it connects quite well. The issue though, really, is that the EVO is pretty weak in LTE reception compared to the S3 and definitely compared to the iPhone5. I consistently see those 2 devices side by side with better reception. I really just think a weak antenna has ALOT to do with this issue overall.

    Post #5 above: *3001#12345#* in the dialer.
  21. Boosted20V
    And wasn't NO already mentioned in one of the first lists Sprint put out?
  22. Boosted20V
    How do you know it's a Sprint tower?
  23. Boosted20V
    Clearly you think quite highly of yourself given the last line you felt compelled to include. Complaining over and over again about Sprint's network gets old and is not what this board is for. I agree that to many people all that matters is the current quality of the network, but then again, most people aren't running speed tests to determine the quality of the network all the time.
  24. Boosted20V
    Ahhh, didn't notice your device.
  25. Boosted20V
    Since the recent addition of 800mhz to the PRL for Baltimore I imagine indoor coverage has improved greatly.
