I called Sprint - Germantown near Collierville is a HUGE problem. There is a 3G tower on East Holmes Road that has been facing Capacity issues since September 7th. As a result, your phone can show near full bars and inbound texts/calls may not go through, or outbound calls you make will go to voicemaill or ring but the other party may not receive it - same for texts.

As a result, I got a 20$ credit on my account, as I do alot of business and personal stuff near that tower. They say that we'll be getting LTE soon but we'll see about that..

waiting for lte on shelby drive near hacks cross/riverdale..

**acr456** · 11-05-2012, 07:00 AM

I used to live over in the Shelby drive/hacks cross area. The 3G absolutely sucks over there. I hope it gets the proper LTE attention it deserves.

By the way, is anybody else getting LTE signals other than from the Bartlett/Cordova/Germantown area? Anything from downtown? If so, please map on sensorly so we'll know.

Sent from my phone that's better than yours.

I did see a little spot on the airport. So looks like someone was getting LTE there.

Here is a screen shot of a speed test done at Popeye's on Hacks Cross south of 385. Download speed is fairly decent, but not the upload.

That is pretty decent compared to my experiences in that area. Maybe they've made some 3G improvements recently.

our 3G speeds are just bad. need friggin LTE already. ATT and VErizon have it here, why is Sprint so slow

**Dayzah** · 11-06-2012, 01:04 AM

Ive gotten LTE at the airport , on the backside near the post office off Shelby Drive.. I was delivering to Gate Gourmet and had 2-3 bar signal.. Think the speeds were in the range of 10 down 3 up ..

And yes ATT and Verizion have it rolled out in Memphis , but atleast Sprint is working on it.. It isnt even rolled out here yet so I guess having some is better then none.

**azgalorRC** · 11-06-2012, 05:27 AM

Ill try to be more patient. sorry for venting.

**mrtito32** · 11-06-2012, 09:12 AM

I've been getting 4G near the Agricenter on Walnut Grove, Wolf River and Germantown Road, also Fischer Steel and Germantown Road. Got some speeds as high as 25 mps. I'll do a couple more test on the way home.

I got these speeds riding down Swinea behind the Memphis Int. Airport yesterday. Whitehaven has fairly good 4g coverage right now.

no LTE near germantown =(

**MacPat45** · 11-23-2012, 04:29 AM

Can anyone tell me about U of M area, specifically Normal Station neighborhood (spottswood & goodman) / highland, park & getwell area? Or everyone's favorite 'hood Hillshire or Whitten Rd Exit area? (My brother-n-law is thinking about Sprint in that area) Ive been using my TP3 for 3yrs waiting on strong 4g or LTE; now I'm wanting the S3 since its $0.99 (BlkFri price match from SamsClub) I'm waiting for the day I can tether my tablet & laptop off Sprint's network, see how much I can use before they say or do something. These posted LTE phone speeds are better than my avg comcast connect.... Maybe because I'm still using a 54g router lol
Big thanks for the informative posts, I appreciate it & am bookmarking this thread

**Dayzah** · 11-25-2012, 05:40 PM

Depends on what part of G'Town you in.. I get it in a few different places.

**chuccck** · 11-28-2012, 09:41 AM

I just got the gs3 and turned it on for the first time last night. LTE Reaches my house! All the ones showing attennas from last night are on LTE from in my house. I live in highpoint terrace area. and how come nobody else is using CM10?!
