Sprints 3G Service is Back / At Least for Some!!!

So Android Police had reported they were speaking with Sprint techs for the last few weeks and were being told upgrades are happening and we will start seeing improvements coming Oct. 31st. Of course everyone was doubting that and thought it was just more BS from Sprint.
Well low and behold Android Police starting to run speed checks after the 31st and are seeing huge improvements. Figured I would give it a shot this morning, not expecting much and ran a speed test on 3G. I have been getting about 50kbps average for the past few months and was expecting to see the same. Well I be darned, my SGS2 is testing over 1Mbps over 3g! Holy Cow!!!!!!!!! After running about 10 tests it never dropped below 800kpbs.
This is great news! I am in the Raleigh/Durham NC area. Let's here if your 3G speeds have improved and where you are located. I believe NYC is seeing some great improvements as well.......Here is to happy 3G'ing!

P.S. I did update my profile and PRL but not sure if that was needed or not.

I am not far from RDU airport right now....Also tested it while driving in Western Cary and got great speeds there as well.

Since we got walloped by the freak nor' easter' in New England I have been on 00001.PRL...I switched before the power went out 'cuz I know that when power went out after Hurricane Irene Sprint's towers lasted barely an hour before 1X roaming...and if I'm going to roam I might as well do it at full 3G.
I check in on Sprint every now and then and the towers just aren't on. I haven't checked again yet, but, I can't even get calls through to my friends on Sprint right now...texts barely make it out and are frequently delivered anywhere from late to very late.
I sure hope we see some upgrade progress soon...my speeds are worse than abysmal. I'll report back if I notice anything.

I'm seeing an increase at times in Tampa Florida...finally.

Wish we got those tmobile speeds, but we signed up with sprint knowing their speeds were a bit slower.
3g D: 800k
3g U: 200k
4g D: 4.94mbps
4g U: 0.16mbps
pretty consistent in 5 miles from New Orleans, and inside a building.
Not great, but better than the 150kbps I was getting before.

.: sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch :.

here in Northwest Houston/Cypress area and tested in 10 different locations and all where less then 200k down and 60k up. 4G runs well, but 3G is still sucking. Funny thing though if I start heading north towards Tomball and Pinehurst on 249, Hockly on 290 or Conroe on 45 the speeds jump to 1.6M+D 400KU. So we are still saturated here in the metro area's but the outskirts have improved. And no coverage improvements either as I'm still sporting an Airave in my house for coverage.

Averaging over 1000 down and 500 up in Memphis Tn. Most were over 1200 down and a couple were around 800 down.

Actually, my speeds increased significantly about a week after hurricane Irene hit the DC area.

That's 4g in sacramento

[Sprint] LTE Network

UPDATED: POST YOUR SPEEDS HERE! Sprint LTE is live! Post your screenie for all of us not in the initial roll out areas to drool over!
_________________________________________________
Has anyone had or seen LTE service with Sprint on their GS3 yet?

Yes, only as they are testing tho. They have not turned them on to us yet. Very Promising!! More info a S4GRU.com.

It's comforting to know that after I receive my 32GB, I will just replace refreshing the myorder site multiple times a day with refreshing the spring coverage map multiple times a day.

Not too long ago I had been seeing several random places popping up with network testing going on happening somewhat frequently, but lately it seems to have gone quiet. Wonder if it's the calm before the storm.

Those upload speeds look promising. Hopefully once they get LTE up and running smoothly we'll maybe get to see some speeds like these AT&T & T-Mobile guys are posting. :jealous:

I'm surprised there isn't more chatter about Sprint's LTE plans on this forum. I think the success or failure of the NV program will make or break this phone, and Sprint itself. For sure it affects my own decisions about both. The timing will be critical.
p.s. I second the recommendation about the s4gru.com site. It is must reading for anyone who cares about the Sprint rollout, and who wants to make an informed choice. There is also a deep font of knowledge there about RF stuff.

I agree 100%. The rollout of NV & LTE is the crux of Sprint as a network thus far. Def going to be a make or break time for Sprint in the next few quarters, especially with regard to timing. They need to make a significant impact, and soon.
Also, just saw where Buffalo, NY got some love.

Anyone know what to expect as far as battery consumption goes once LTE goes live? Will it be on par with what we see now on 3g or 4g? Better, worse? Ideas?

It will be the same as 3G. It will switch and run like it too. Just faster. It will be nice. Stronger and at 1900. Nothing like Wimax. They tested out at Alliance in Ft worth. Been playing with it a lot.

Also, how are people seeing LTE testing? Did you get into settings and change your network to LTE/CDMA? I don't see an LTE radio option (yet) on my sammy. I'm assuming Sprint will push out some update with their LTE light-up (which is also why I'm holding off with root).

Not GS3 related, but the EVO LTE shipped with the LTE/CDMA setting enabled so some people with it (or who had it before the GS3) may be able to get the LTE signal in an area that's been going through testing.

Hey, has anybody noticed any lte testing in philly area? Does anybody know if we're next for the turn on?

yes I get LTE in Northeast today, just a moment.

Good to know that even if for a moment, I will have LTE

This is great news! I wonder if the signal will be strong enough yo reach me across the bridge and up near Burlington city. Maybe I won't be limited to get it when I go in for food or Phillies. lol

rofl i called an at&t rep today and asked him to give me a guesstamate of when lte will be available in jersey he says to me "Im going to be honest with you sir..... you live in jersey....... jerseys always last....." lmfao i wished i could shoot myself

Take this with a grain of salt, but I know a well ranked agent who is pretty close with a certain "Tiffany" who some of you may have heard of, and supposedly the Phila switch is going to be flipped sometime in the third week of August. Don't get your hopes too high because there are bound to be hiccups along the way, but I'm sure I'll hear more as we move into August. CANT WAIT!!!
Edit: Just in time for shared everything plans lol.. At least it's going to be optional.

How will I be able to tell if I have LTE active will it say it next to the 4G icon?

well i was never technically on 4g down here but i went from about 6-8mbps to 20 mbps
they turned it on from miami north to west palm and I am in the most northern part so im assuming the fort lauderdale - miami area probably has the better speeds than i do here, but it is alot faster

Same here I'm in Philadelphia. Don't quite get why at&t skipped us in the first deployment.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Metro areas that had "sufficient" 3G coverage were automatically skipped through the first and sometimes second pass of LTE implementation.
Squeakiest wheels got the grease first, is what I've heard and read.
Incidentally, don't be too upset about this, as LTE (from personal experience) has not been all that great anyway. I've been in Chi, Miami/Ft.Laud, DC and Baltimore and only in one of those markets (frigging Baltimore of all places!!) was I getting better than 11Mbps down and better than 6Mbps up (i got 17Mbps down, 10Mbps up). Both DC and Miami/Ft.Laud were marginally slower than my home WiFi which is typically around 10Mbps down and 6Mbps up, and Chicago was absolutely pathetic all three times I've been there since Feb, coming in roughly on par with Philly-area HSPA+/4G.
Incidentally, my experience has been with this phone as well as my Note i717, both top-end devices.
Plus, remember that even a strong LTE signal (let alone a weak one, god forbid....) will drain the piss out of your battery, a heck of a lot quicker than good old fashioned HSPA+.
Just my $.02.

That is awesome!
I'm down in Owatonna/Mankato and they don't even have VZW 4G down here yet. The lady at the AT&T store said that it would be rolled out by the end of 2012, but I don't know how much she really knows hehe. HSDPA is pretty good down here though, only place I've dropped to edge is driving in between Lesuer, Steele, and Waseca county.
I hope southern MN gets lit soon. I hear that AT&T doesn't have the greatest data coverage in Iowa/Wisconsin.

Ohh WoW .. my brother should be excited to hear this .. he has the One X and has been waiting patiently for LTE in his area.

Wha?? I work downtown and i'm not getting LTE. I'm genuinely excited though if its that close.

Since they are just testing it would make sense to do it early in the morning so that it affects least number of users.
This was at airport in case you are wondering.

Awesome! I'll be at the Minneapolis Int'l Monday! Will be my first LTE experience I guess.

I let Minneapolis to head to Chicago for the week. To my surprise at security check when I pulled out my Note to scan my Delta boarding pass I saw LTE lit up. Speed was amazing as I have seen in KC and Chicago before. However, when I go to my gate in G Concourse LTE was gone. Hopefully this means its coming soon.
Attached are two screencaptures. One proves its MSP and the other shows speed test. My phone also rolled to EST time zone as well.

I was hoping Minneapolis would get it sooner than later. It is a major metropolitan area.

4G questions from a Newb

I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and live in the St.Louis area, so I should get 4G (I checked the coverage map). Do I have to turn it on? Is there a way to check if I'm getting a 4G signal?

Unless I'm mistaken, 4G LTE has not been activated in St. Louis. I don't think the St. Louis market is scheduled to get 4G for at least 6 more months.
If you got 4G on a different phone, it was probably Wimax. The Galaxy S3 is not compatible with Wimax - only LTE.

Unfortunately, he was right, and you were mislead. After doing some research, the S3 is in fact not compatible with WiMAX
