Hi all,
I'm going to Vegas for about a month. I have a Note 2 and after looking on the internet Las Vegas doesn't have 4g LTE but it looks like its smothered in 4G Wimax.
My question is for those in Vegas are:
How is the 3G there? Is it worth bringing my Note 2 or Epic Touch?
How is the 4G WiMax there?
My wife has the Epic Touch should I switch with her for the time I'm in Vegas so I can get 4G WiMax?
All help is appreciated
Thanks,
BlueKalel

Wimax is really good but 3g can really be hit and miss. In some areas is decent in other areas its horrible and there are no plans for late anytime soon. As soon as my contract is up in April I am switching to metro PCs as they have excellent lte coverage here and they are dirt cheap at 60 bucks a month with no data caps. Got a friend that switched and he couldn't be happier

Las Vegas NV deployment have only just begun with the first 3g sites completed within these couple of weeks. Application for permits have been going on for a while as well.
But for now, take the E4GT.

Should probably mention I use 4g wimax for my home internet and I also work from home so that should say something about it
Sucks that I upgraded to the s3 and lost my 4g Thank god for the Virgin mobile 4g hotspot

Depends where you are in Vegas. I'm in the Peccole Ranch/Lakes area and while Wimax is great outside, it's aweful inside. However a friend with a Clear usb dongle got rocking Wimax inside here. Somehow the Sprint speeds are a lot lower at least for me. Overall Wimax has Vegas covered pretty well though and was like the first Wimax market to go live. Sadly that seems to mean LTE won't come here for a long time yet.

Lol nah only if he wanders out behind the Adventuredome onto Industrial Blvd or if he gets as far as Naked City across Sahara to the north. Although they did bulldoze mist of Naked City for the new high rise condos noone bought. The Steak House in Circus is top notch though. Wins best of Vegas awards every year. Anyhow your Wimax should work fine down there. Can't speak for any in house Internet there since that building is old as hell. Bullet proof vest also necessary uif he decides to walk to Fremont or finds himself behind the Convention Center buying women or crack. Don't touch the buffet though.

Lmao last time I was in vegas I ended up in an area I was glad I had armed security with us. Every 10 ft someone was hollering at the limo "yo! Want some crack?" "I got ice" I'm like man get us the fu*k out of here this is worse than college park.
I like to break stuff!
The steakhouse at Circus Circus is pretty dang good... last time I was there was with family just staying for the night on the way from Phoenix to Salt Lake for a funeral. My aunt still can't rent a room there, my brother got us kicked out just before check out time for acting a fool.

When I stayed in the Cosmo I had no 4G, I did get it out on the strip though.
If you want to eat cheap out there, hit the old strip (Downtown) at the Golden Nugget, no crowds and all you can eat for $6.
If you are into Pinball, hit the Pinball Museum (as they call it) you can blow $20 easy on all the different pinballs in there.

Getting 86'ed from Circus Circus is an impressive feat. What, did he take a dump in the lobby while punching a concierge or something? I worked there like 8 years ago and did things that looking back, while pretty funny, it's absurd that I wasn't fired or even once disciplined. A customer would have to do some reprehensible acts of depravity. Or get caught counting cards.
Back on topic, I just drove by there and Wimax was pretty solid. Can't speak for inside though. Wimax sorta stinks at penetrating buildings in my experience and most casinos in general tend to have poor Wimax and 3g reception inside at least on the casino floors. Then again most have added wifi hot spot capabilities throughout the gaming areas now that are free provided you register on a portal website for access to the Web. Station casinos and others are also bringing a new push which is tying in apps with the games there as well as sports book betting apps. So they have been working at blanketing the strip with mobile data coverage. I will say that Verizon data speeds in Vegas are outrageously fast here compared to sprint. But they are crooks and charge too much. I'm not sure how full the wifi coverage is in the rooms but it is almost full in public areas. Odd too as not even 5 years ago it was a huge no no to even use a cell in gaming zones. Using cells at table games is still restricted which is good since it's annoying and rude when nitwits are talking to someone while at a blackjack etc table. Slots are ok though. I know I like snapping pics of when I hit nice $2k+ payouts on video poker. I myself am moving from Peccole Ranch to way up in Centennial Hills which I hope is accurately portrayed in the coverage map since the area I'm at now is called the Bermuda triangle by all the stores for all carriers since the area has a serious lack of towers thanks to people blocking tower builds because they are stupid and complained about the towers blocking their views of the valley. Which they never had anyways. Enough rambling from me. Too drunk to know what I'm saying... Gotta love a 24hour town.... :beer:

call tech support, or better get them on chat. It's easier.
....tell them you have abysmally slow data speeds and want a data refresh. Every time I have activated a phone on Sprint since the E3D came out (that's been like 6 or 7 phones, lol) I have had to do this because of ABSURDLY slow data speeds....and this helped a ton.
If that doesn't help then maybe it's a hardware defect...if that doesn't help then the Sprint blows in your area.
Yup me and my friend are getting almost double the 3g speed and better 4g speed for the past week or two
Wow...i spend so much time on wifi that i havent really noticed, but i just installed speedtest and ran a battery of tests...holy crap

I'm not sure where people that are getting better data live. If it's in a major city it would make sense though. I would bet that places like NYC, LA, Miami ect may be getting the network beefed up in anticipation of the Iphone.
The last thing Sprint needs is to get crappy reviews on the Iphone due to a sluggish network.

Guys--
Live in northwest suburbs outside chicago and have LTE signal out of nowhere. Specifically Bartlett,IL next to elgin/st charles/carol stream. I cant run a solid speedtest since it locks up when it checks for upload speed but got 6meg down with less than 70 millisecond times. It was going in and out im assuming from testing but it seems more consistent as i type this. Will upload speedtest results if it stops locking up.

When we were without service last month for a day Sprint told me they were adding lte to all the towers. It hard to believe anyone because nobody knows when there gonna flip the switch for sure. Sprint could of handled this better by not telling people next month or in August because the Sprint reps are consistently telling people anything to shut them up, they could have been like we're not sure and leave it at that. I wouldn't mind waiting if 3g was really 3g like on T-Mobile or [email protected] but it's really slow and unusable. I would never in my life consider there service worthy of a smartphone . I can't even stream a two minute video on YouTube it's ridiculous. This is the main reason people are so impatient ,I'm new to Sprint only a month in but i can't believe people been with these slow speeds so long, i would of jump ship along time ago. No lte by october then im off to Verizon or [email protected] where i can use my phone in a productive manor.

Actually, Samsung (the OEM) is handling the actual NV upgrades, and they've fallen a bit behind schedule from where they should be. I'm pretty sure those towers were probably originally scheduled for July, but got bumped back like a lot of them have. Sprint's really just waiting on Samsung and the backhaul providers to get everything going before they can finish it up and green light the tower.

Part of the reason why you're getting such slow 3g speeds is BECAUSE of the lack of 4g. When every single smart phone user is only using 3g, (and has unlimited data) is slows the network for everyone. Once lte is up and running we'll see speed increases in 3g as well. Just wait it out. Sprint is hands down the best deal in wireless, has great customer service, awesome phones, and unlimited data. The speed will come.

setting up 4G LTE in small towns is cheaper than in big cities and allows them to have a better "number of 4g towns and cities" that 4g carriers love to mention in ads.

They're deploying through the New Orleans Metro area now. Not much so far but it's progress.
I'm so jealous of people that get LTE. I live in San Francisco and on the old 4G WiMax network, I used to get 4G at home and at the office. Now that I'm on an LTE phone, I only get 3G at home and at the office. The sucky part is that if I walk 1 block in any direction of my house or office, I'll get a 4G LTE signal. I really hope Sprint boosts the signal or add additional antennas so I'm not stuck in a 4G LTE deadzone for the next 2 years.....:crying:
Sprint Is just pure BS when it comes to any network rollout or advancements, thats just fact. even though they were bought out, its their corporate structure they need to change. On every level they are one of the most sloppy companies i have ever dealt with in my life. And seriously why would they roll out LTE IN BUTTVILLE and in ghettos. aND YES IM SERIOUS about that statement too. In Los Angeles, There is LTE alright but not where there are many people like to travel such as south LA, (south Central) yeah the LTE is crackin there!! No Lie

Yea, that was uncalled for.
For the last part of 2012, I was getting great LTE speeds in downtown Houston. They ranged from 22 - 25 down and from 7 - 9 up. Nowadays, however, I'm only getting about 3.86 down, but still averaging ~8 mbps for upload. Do you think this drop in only download speed is due to people getting more and more LTE capable phones?

And it makes the unlimited data on Sprint allllll worth it =] it's amazing, i get it on my couch now! I still use Wifi for the sake of battery life and better consistency though!
Congratulations to my northern brethren. It's coming on down in Battle Creek too.

There is a small and I'm mean SMALL areas in Flint, MI where 4G pops on for me, I went to the Sprint store right by that area and the rep told me that they are installing for the area but are not announcing it since it isn't supposed to be live yet till later this year, but that it was working in some areas....

A friend that lives in Ann Arbor says they're working on the towers right now and that's why you when u stream music it cuts out, they want 4g up by spring apparently he heard through his contact at Sprint which was just a guy at a Sprint store.

A friend of mine that works for BestBuy mobile was told by his Sprint rep that their goal was to have most of the larger cities along the 94 corridor up by the end of q1. I would think that A2 falls in that category.

Any Michiganders reporting LTE in the Kalamazoo area? I'm still on the OG Epic with Wimax, but trying to get a feel if maybe some tower work is going on over here for LTE.

I haven't even seen Winston Salem on the list of cities currently in the upgrade process but the sprint store people say it is coming in March. I don't have a lot of faith in that though.

Good news! Even though there are like three square feet on u of m's campus that aren't covered by wifi, I'm kind of depending on 4g+wifi tether to satisfy all my off campus apartment Internet needs lol. Rent around here is obscene.

Any word on midtown Detroit?
Oh man LTE in GR? Any idea if Holland is going to be coming up soon?
Not yet, but my source told me it was supposed to come on around the same time as Battle Creek. So far there is only 1 tower up here, so I think it's just in the testing phase right now.

Yeah, they are testing it now, to be officially "launched" they need 2/3 of the city covered, so when they actually do launch Grand Rapids, it'll be a lot more than just Alpine, and at this point, they could turn it off any day since it's not official

Look what I stumbled across while passing through Lincoln Park/Allen Park! (ignore the Ann Arbor city on BeautifulWidgets, it's not on geolocation weather)

bay city, saginaw and midland!
I too have picked up a LTE tower in Flint, and between Brighton & Howell. Slowly but surely!
Wow. Wrong screenshot
