  1. To add to what was stated above, I haven't noticed any service disruptions in my market which is under deployment. Also, whenever I visit Baltimore I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
  2. I feel this thread diverged on a bit of a tangent...
  3. Got the update today, honestly I think my LTE performance is worse. No, but really, still bad.
  4. When 4G is live new backhaul is in place but 3G may not be hooked up to it as is common in Ericsson markets.
  5. Your last line is innaccurate. We have a huge amount of natural gas. And your comments regarding coal are tied to emissions AFTER pollutants are captured. What happens to the pollutants which ARE captured? They don't dissapear.
  6. The potential fallacy here is that there are areas in which ATT or Sprint may have coverage but no one has logged sensorly yet.
  7. I'd rather pay more to burn natural gas. Electricity is cheap. Coal is filthy.
  8. No one said they wanted Southern Company to fail? Only that it made more sense for them to outsource their communications than to continue to support iDEN? I think you're being a bit dramatic. So they put food on your table and you work for a power company? What does that have to do with members here discussing them ceasing to offer PTT service?
  9. I didn't realize that at first either but it makes sense that it can't plot points on a map without knowing where you are on the map!
  10. You need to be able to connect to GPS for it to map points. If you're indoors, this is likely your problem.
  11. I understand the FIT, I get Chicago is spectrum constrained. Why, if 800mhz is being broadcast in other markets will Sprint not deploy a PRL to allow connectivity which would help lower roaming cost? At first thought, I mentioned that perhaps enough 800mhz spectrum wasn't cleared in some markets but the comment was made that 800mhz is in fact being broadcast, only not able to be connected to via the PRL's available. Does anyone know why?
  12. I understand Chicago is spectrum constrained and it helps in that regard. Moreover, the question is, seeing as 800mhz will provide a significant decrease in roaming costs within Sprint's footprint, why it isn't being utilized in other areas which are deployed? Also, I know Waco was a FIT, but it still stands to reason that this area isn't spectrum constrained and 800mhz is live.
  13. I'm curious about this as well. Obviously NV must be deployed to have antennas capable of broadcasting 800mhz but why are only Chicago and Waco seeing 800mhz 1x and no other areas? As far as I know, the winding down of Nextel should have freed up enough spectrum across the country for 1x?
  14. Well based on that signal strength, you're correct that you have a very good connection. You'll also definitely have a strong LTE signal once deployed.
  15. On top of that, when you say you have 4 bars, I know the iPhone shows signal strength of LTE when connected to LTE, but when connected to EVDO it may very well be showing 1x signal strength so it may be that you do not have as good of a connection for data as you think. You can check the field test screens to see EVDO signal strength with certainty.
  16. Clever. I just so happen to have a 4G icon lit on my phone however.
  17. Out of curiousity why would it be awesome? I don't really see what there is to get excited about?
  18. I've always been a little unsure of when the maps are updated as well and noticed variances between the online map and the app's map. It usually seemed to me that the online map updated first but that is by no means scientific!
  19. As others have said, from many posts I've seen from Robert, he references contract which allow for scaling backhaul capacity.
