Network Vision rolling out in LA Market!

I just thought I'd let you guys Sprint has started upgrading the towers to Network vision here in Los Angeles.. The past two days my service has been down (obviously needed). Larry from the howard forums commented saying Sprint has started upgrading the towers in the Los Angeles market.. If you notice little to no signal you know why! I have already noticed a jump in speed from 40kbps to 1000kbps.

They have begun work on network vision here in the LA market (including those zips you listed). Only a handful of sites have been completed so far but more will be coming soon. I do not believe it would cause any long term outages though as the sites are normally taken off line (if necessary) at a time when there's the least impact on the users.

Damn! Pretty damn good.. I'm happy if this speeds will be constant now.. No need to switch to verizon or any other carrier now especially since i'll be in LTE coverage. =)

Reporting from the Antelope Valley, nothing hear.

San Fernando Valley here, got 831 down 568kps up on 3g. Little difference, maybe because at home I get 4G already. Will report again in a couple of days... I'm hoping that 3g will be usable at my school!

Nice, hopefully Seattle will get this soon as well.

I'm getting 2mb down at my house now. Sprint is finally listening to us.

I was just in LA (Century City) and speeds were noticeably faster than they had been in the past. I was getting 1200kbs consistently and the signal was strong. San Diego was much slower. Now I can't wait until Sprint upgrades here in Portland. 4G is very spotty in the places I spend most of my time.

Working fine in Kennesaw, i believe its been turned on for awhile.
edit: I'm on ATT, not sure which carrier you're referring to.

Are you asking about Sprint or Verizon?
Cause I get 27mbps down and 19Mbps up on Verizon at my home in Acworth and 37/27 at work in Vinnings.

I believe there was an outage on Verizon in some areas because of the storm.

By default on Sprint phones the bars only indicate VOICE coverage. They have nothing to do with 3G EVDO or 4G LTE reception. I have aseen a few custom ROMs that split the bars into two for voice and data, but the regular software doesn't make this distinction.
There is a chance you could be connected to one tower for voice but evdo is down on it so you are using a different tower for data, and an even higher likelihood with LTE since most towers haven't been upgraded yet.

Top one is from this evening in New Braunfels. Nice.

Not sure if you read any comments on that page but if Google were to buyout any carrier it would probably be best to buy T-Mobile like some of the comments there are saying.
AT&T could not buy them out because they already have so many different companies under their belt. Why not Google? G-Mobile would be a brilliant idea!

Only bad thing I see is dish networks involvement. I have them for TV and they suck! They drop channels over petty BS which with a phone provider would be crappy if they decide "oh we don't wanna support so and so any longer even tho our customers really enjoy it and use it daily" >_<
Their AMC dispute really irked me when their big mouth CEO went around claiming he knew what his customers liked. "Our customer base is mostly rural families not the kind of degenerate low life's that watch TV shows about nazi drug dealers and zombies in new York" obviously you don't watch breaking bad or the walking dead, since breaking bad has nothing to do with nazis other than Walt's alias is Heisenberg and the walking dead takes place in GA which is a long way from new York. If there were any other options out here besides directripoff or dish I woulda switched providers in a half a heartbeat. I think Google would be best to partner with someone already in the business, either a larger provider like sprint or a smaller one like metropcs or straight talk and use their existing infrastructure as a jump off point instead of building a new network with a satellite TV provider that can't even keep their TV up in a storm, and their HD lags and digitizes/buffers atleast 2x and hr, makes me wanna throw my remote at my TV cuz it always lags right at the best part of the show :banghead:

Google + Dish = Bad

But if that happen (doubtfully) by that time I will be living in T-Mobile coverage.

When i had dish and dtv the customer service was the worst. At least Sprint acts like they give a ****, even when they dont

So if they bought T mobile, would that mean they would be buying metro since they merged?

My guess would be their high-speed satellite internet band which I believe is In the 1500mhz area but I'm not 100% sure that's right. I need to check the FCC info pages for what spectrum they currently hold.

AWS-4 spectrum is quite varied. But the Dish S-band satellite spectrum that has been re-classified as AWS-4 spectrum is currently 2000-2020 MHz x 2180-2200 MHz.

My exact thoughts!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Not happy with sprint... the last straw...

I have been constantly having problems with sprint. I love the S2, but I never get reception, always losing signal. Slow to no data. (yes I called them to have the fix the problem but no help. Last week I was on hold for 6 hours, not exaggerating at all).
I called sprint again today, and they would not upgrade my phone. They said I bought it in Feb, and they would charge me $280 to break out of contract and $200 for the new note 2 phone. ($580, they are nutz...).
they wouldn't pass me onto retentions either. They hung up on me 4 times during my phone call. Stupid russion speaking dwarfs from yugoslavia or something...
So I canceled finally, and they didn't even do ANYTHING to try and keep me as a customer. I have been with them since 1999.
So... I will pay the break out fee of $280. But I feel it is a relief to get away from them. Sprint has gone down the toilet, and I am not going to be held hostage by them anymore.
So... Anyone have any suggestions on what to do now? Legal suggestions only please. I still have my S2, so if there was a way I can prepay activate it somewhere .....
OR what is the best bang for the buck wireless company now? I kind of wanted the new note 2 or I can wait for the nexus 4.
Thanks for letting me waste your time.....

I'd probably swallow any loss that you paid to Sprint and move onto T-Mobile if their coverage is nice in your area. $200 for a 2-year contract or buy outright from Google for $300-350, not bad. Just gotta wait since they're on back ordered.
Unfortunate that you experienced that type of customer service from Sprint. I've had nothing but great deals with them every time.

I was looking at Ting... I guess they have a beta program where you can bring your device from sprint. Pay as you go no contract. You get credited the following month for stuff you didn't use.
The epic touch 4g is one of the 5 devices currently supported by ting.
