I was at the Outlets in Castle Rock on Monday, and had LTE. Had some crappy download speeds, but it was better than 3G. I was going in and out of LTE/3G outside at the outlets.

I also see that going up I25 towards Ft. Collins there is LTE coverage about half way up. Haven't been that way myself yet, mostly on Pena and Tower testing speeds.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flonker:
To those of you that live in a market that has already been upgraded to LTE, how long did you have to deal with service disruption?

I understand that it varies, however, I'm just hoping for a ballpark estimate. For the last 7 days or so I have not been able to complete even 1 phone call without having it dropped, and text messages have to be sent 3-10 times before they go through. I am just hoping for an idea of how long I'll have to deal with this because it sucks (I'm sure the Holiday didn't help at all either). Luckily I don't have any important phone calls to make, because it is seemingly impossible to complete a phone call.

I really wish Sprint would stop advertising unlimited 4g lte here in Utah. They rave about it when in truth I haven't had it ever in the last year and I've seen no plans for it to be here anytime soon. I still like Sprint. I just feel lied to when I signed up and was promised 4g lte and never get it.....frustrating....I mean it's not even on the list and I've been with Sprint for a year now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
I don't think Sprint advertisement says Unlimited LTE, I'm 100% sure they advertise Unlimited Data... 1x, 3g and 4g lte is all data. :D just saying.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr._Happy:
In New York City they're doing it in stages. There has been no service interruption at all here.

They started testing it in the Bronx (of all places) last year and it's slowly been expanding all through Manhattan (it covers most of the island) and the other boroughs. It's now in most of the city though the speeds are still so-so. I've been getting 6 - 9 Mbps down and 2 - 3 Mbps up.

Then again we haven't had the 'official' roll out.

So, no service interruptions, but just slowly building the LTE footprint, and improving 3G, etc.

I guess different areas are getting different treatment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flonker:
When I was in Manhattan in April I was constantly getting thrown back and forth between 3G and 4G and the 3G wasn't very good. Obviously, it has improved since then.

The area I live in doesn't compare to NY at all (not many cities do), we have 1 live LTE tower that resides in an area of my city that I don't live or go. When that tower went live the reception at my house went to crap. Zero bars, data constantly switching between 1x, 3G and nothing. I was hopeful that the tower I frequent was getting rebuilt. It has been over 3 weeks and haven't noticed any work being done. I feel kind of abandoned, lol.

That being said, I don't get LTE at my house but can pick up a signal at work from the same tower in my city even though it is about 5 miles further away than my house. Go figure.

There's been a tower live there for at least 4 weeks, seems to be located by 35th and 42 (haven't cared to find the tower). I've pulled some better speeds off of it though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrocklewitz:
At my house on 13th street I get one bar or less from the actual tower and it always defaulted to 3g or my airave. I was sitting on my porch flashing the nightly this morning before work when I first noticed it.

The tower is directly across the street from the two rivers high school on 42.

About 1 mile from it I got 10 down 5 up.

I never thought I would be so happy using sprint service! Sprint is really working hard out here in Maryland at least! Started getting LTE a few months back in glen burnie and surrounding area which is also where I reside. I work near Annapolis and I thought I had to switch carrier because I was getting zero service as of late from the 1x and 1 bar I used to get just enough to survive. Well..today everything changed. I am now getting LTE to very strong 3G!! Look like I'm right at the border. This is definitely an upgrade from 1x to no service as of late. Never thought I would see this day come:D now my ATT/Verizon co workers are looking at sprint service much differently! Why wouldn't they when they see that I'm paying much less for unlimited LTE!! Today is a good day! Thank you sprint for getting your act together FINALLY!!

Seriously. I just got this phone from Virgin this week. My lte speeds in San Francisco are 5-9 Mbps with upload speeds around 3. I had the S2 on Boost before this and usually the wimax speeds were 9-11 Mbps, however, this phone "feels" faster. I think it's the phone's processors though, not the lte. Am I crazy?

I know that speedtest isn't always accurate, but I've tested it on my wifi at home and it seems right. What gives? I thought lte was supposed to be more like what you're getting Jakeuten...

Edit- I realize it hasn't been officially announced as turned on here, but it is on. And Sprint is talking about it on twitter so... I hope it gets better than this.

Does someone really wanna say that the difference in a 10mbps download, 6mbps upload and a 20mbps download and 12mbps is so negligible that they can see the difference? You're saying you can actually tell that a web page loads 1/10th of a second slower on Sprint with unlimited data than it does on VZW with the caps...?

On second thought...go for the 20mbps...and hurry up to that data cap you're nearing...you'll get there faster with a faster speed...then you can complain.

Awesome post!!! Plus, youtube and streaming music will play just as well. And when I tether my phone to my computer, I can't even tell a difference between load internet pages between my phone tether and my cable internet.

Philly

Traveling around the city LTE is all over the place. I am working at a jobsite in the Frankford section (19124), and until 2 weeks ago LTE was turned on for 3 months and I was averaging 10 - 18 Mbps down, inside the building that is under construction. For the past 2 weeks it shows LTE and the DL is 0.12 Mbps, yet uploads are between 3 - 5, Sprint claims they are working on the tower in the area, for 2 weeks?

When we go down to Longwood Gardens we hit 18 Mbps consistently. Yesterday we went down by City Hall on South Broad and LTE showed up on the street around 3 Mbps down, but when we went indoors it dropped to 3G and hit 0.32 down.

I have updated the PRL and Profile each day to make sure it is up to date in the area, after all this is Sprint's first request. It gets frustating that I can turn a corner and get good results and then it drops off so quick.

There is LTE by Best Buy, I'm not sure how far it extends or if there is more than one active tower as I don't live in Sheboygan.

Sprint really needs to get their stuff together. I haven't been able to place a phone call for two months from my house without it getting dropped. Data is complete crap too, as I write this my connection is one bar of 1x that drops every few seconds. It has been like that for two months as well. So basically my phone has been practically unusable for two months. It is getting EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. They need to get on this now. Also, network updates in my area have all but disappeared, when the hell do they plan on returning service to my area? This is not acceptable.

So i live in West New York, NJ and i i got my first connection to LTE on my block. It is very spotty so it just comes and go. What does that mean?

Official doesn't mean anything except being on their maps. Once the site is done they release it for people to use. It could be the lone site for hours and hours away from others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mxcoldhit:
I agree with what your saying. Sometimes the roll out doesnt make sense to me. Here in Alabama LTE is in Montgomery, Calera, and Helena. Montgomerys roll out is clear. They are going along I-65 and I-80 Major interstates. Calera is along a stretch about 5 to 10 miles on US-31 which is parallel with I-65 so that makes sense as well. Helena, on the other hand, is not along any major US highway or Interstate. It isnt in the most dense area either. I am glad, however, that Sprint is finally offering LTE in my area. They only rolled out the old 4g WiMAX in one area that covered about 3 square miles when they introduced that. Sprint hasnt been to friendly to Alabama :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
The work on the sites that are ready for work. It is very typical for sites in the rural areas to go first since there are less tinfoil hat yuppies complaining about pulling fiber and working on cell sites. Some areas don't even require permits. So while they wait on the red tape on the city sites they knock out the easy rural ones.

This ends up looking like a messed up approach but this happens with every carrier. It's just the other carriers don't let you use completed sites until launch day. Instead of sites sitting idle they release them and let people use them before the meaningless press release goes out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mxcoldhit:
That makes more sense now. I didn't know that some areas didn't even require permits.

I work for a company that provides backhaul connectivity for verizon's cell sites. They order bandwidth for each tower based on existing loads and locations. Right now each site has an average 100mb service on our network but there are a few that have 400, 300, 200 mb services. Each site has the capability of running on 1gb service if requested.

My best speed was over 50mbDn/38mbUp on our network.

One thing I'm pissed about is that Sprint hasn't kept a good 20-25 mb down anywhere. I've tested a lot of places and when they start to roll out in a particular place its super fast with a good 20-25 down but a few months later it always slows down significantly.

Why the hell is Sprint not doing this?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Sprint have contractors who are suppose to be dealing with Lte deployment, Sprint isnt the one to blame. The lte dates given were estimates IF everything went as planned. Sprint was recently bought by Softbank, I think 79%, the purchase slowed down lte deployment. Sprint also just shut down iden which cost them millions or even a billion dollars. Those are things we know about, and there's more things we don't know about that slowed lte deployment. All you can have is patience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
None of that slowed deployment. They two totally different things. Contractors bid on things from other contractors long ago. Why would they just stop working based on some higher up stuff that has nothing to do with them?
