Go there, check your city. My community is scheduled for 64 upgrades in the next 6 months, 3 in my immediate neighborhood.

You have to find people who have it, no one on here can help.

At my work, my AT&T speeds were 20kbps, so I tried verizon and sprint at my desk. Verizon got 50kbps and sprint got 800. Sure, 800 is lower than what some people get on AT&T, but where I was AT&T was completely unusable.

What you do you mean, no one on here has it? I have3G and I posted my speeds.

My area (Woodbridge NJ area) had 18 enhancements (8 voice upgrades, 8 data capacity upgrades, 2 data speed upgrades) and has 22 in the next 6 months (including 8 data speed upgrades).

Not sure why this has caused my speeds to slow to a crawl, but it is kind of frustrating.

Precisely, you thing we would have a stronger signal, we had 53 upgrades total and signal is hardly detectable.

They are changing most of the radio equipment from moto to samsung (which imo moto is better) but its getting better again for me.

3G on Sprint has gone down. I hope one day it will improve.

I spoke with Sprint today about my 3G two bar phone signal. I explained when I leave it in cdma/LTE and leave roaming on I get 4-5 bars. They said I could use that setting and with unlimited data everything package there is no roaming charge on data. I went back to those settings and my bars have increased inn the signal 4-5 I will monitor if I'm having any more dropped calls .

I believe data on roaming has a data cap, thought I think it's a soft cap.

I believe its 300mb but they really won't do anything til you exceed it a few times

There is a cap.. 800mb 3 months in a row.. That's under roaming though.. They will notify you by text then email than letter.. It is in the contract about roamin... But if you notify sprint account services about your area then they will not cut you off.. I did almost 10g a month for 5 months under roaming and never heard a peep.. Take some effort with sprint and it goes along way

I don't have much problem with Sprint 3G...I've been a Sprint customer for 4 years now (hitting 5 years in January), and it used to be bad here, but it's improved over the past couple of years.

Here's my screenshot, a couple of wifi tests that don't really prove much, but then I did 3 mobile tests..they are as good as it gets I think with 3G, for this area (BFE, Alabama)...

So for the middle of no-where in central alabama, this is quite good for 3G service....and I hope 4G does the same for this area when it comes.
