Exodus Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Was at chipotle on Morse road and saw the little 4g icon on my s4. Not sure if they are doing testing or if its on for good, but things looks promising. http://i42.tinypic.com/330z8f5.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 that is an accepted site and on for good, i've been following the development pretty closely that last few weeks. around half of the sprint towers are waiting for fiber to be run still but the majority have all the new vision equipment in place.

They're converting the old nextel towers to LTE/LTE-A aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 They're converting the old nextel towers to LTE/LTE-A aren't they? pretty much all the towers are being converted, old nextel equipment is being torn down and wimax will actually be shut off pretty soon.

copperhead Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Meanwhile, I'm still bouncing in and out of both 1x and roaming both at home in Johnstown and work in Grove City, which is in sight of 270. My battery life is horrible because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustangman2011 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Nextel will be shut off at the end of this month. Eventually down the road they will convert those to LTE also. It will be off another radio band though. They do not sell any phone right now yet that run off of 800 MHZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangman2011 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ohh Copperhead some of the towers might be down due to the upgrades also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be off another radio band though. They do not sell any phone right now yet that run off of 800 MHZ. Utilizing the 800mhz band for LTE will give Sprint triband LTE - this opens a chance for Sprint to really leap ahead with LTE speed, although coverage will likely suffer forever. Ohh Copperhead some of the towers might be down due to the upgrades also. There is fuckery all over with their towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ohh Copperhead some of the towers might be down due to the upgrades also. Makes cents. At work I used to have full bar all the time, then one day a month or so ago it just went to complete shit. At home I used to always have one or two bar, but never roaming and always 3g, now its all over the place, usually for the worse. If they can't get everything running smoothly by the time my contract is up next year I'm gone, the gf and I both had to have our Evo LTEs replaced twice for various issues and service has been getting worse and worse.

Das Borgen Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 oh baby! I've heard from a friend living around 161/71 area that he has seen 4G pop up on his Sprint phone too.... finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhobbz Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Good hopefully it happens soon. Tired of all the sprint "techs" telling me they've never had coverage or speed issues with THEIR phones. My S4 is nearly unusable, I can't even use the GPS on it with Google maps in or around 90% of central Ohio because the data speeds are so horrid.

Also, just to piss in Sprint's Wheaties, I typically see about double that DL speed and 3-4 times the UL on AT&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrxRcr Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I am stuck with sprint b/c i use about 6gigs a month, I have to use 4g to watch netflix on my phone when i am at the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 My contract is up with Sprint at the end of the month. Seriously considering leaving them. Pisses me off I can't get reception at my Condo in the middle of Worthington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrxRcr Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I am also at contract end, currently using an s2 with 4g wiimax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I probably wont leave sprint because Its unlimited, i can stick it out, when I was on wimax I would use at least 40gb in two - three months using my phone as a wireless hotspot and streaming netflix.
