I have had that happen in several areas around Philly, went on their Facebook page and complained, they replied they were fine tuning, then I kept hounding how could it take a MONTH. So I went on Planetfeedback.com and filed a complaint and got a credit for making my phone unusable. The 3G was great, then the 4G was off the charts, then the 4G was averaging 0.10 Mbps down with constant dropouts. Can't figure out how they are upgrading, because it gets so good and then is worse than ever. Got the same issue in Mt. Laurel right now, I pull into the parking lot where my daughter works to pick her up and the phone lights up, 4G but speeds less than 0.10 Mbps if they hold long enough to test.

Your assumptions are wrong . I've met with personnel here in FW working on a tower. They have people who install the equipment, then they have technicians who set up the the components inside the Base stations. Which means they work on/add the new 3G equipment inside the Base stations. THEN people come out and inspect everything. If everything is perfect, then the tower can be set to go live for 3G. The same has to be done for 4G, one of Sprints deployment company's gets an extra 10k for finishing a tower early. They don't just have one group and do everything, they have to have people who are certified for inspections. You really don't need to assume and talk like that. ASk questions first before you assume. pleaseExcuses for a network that becomes totally unusable doesn't cut it. It seems when they go into an area they knock out every tower in the area and then it is hard just to make a call. Seems to me maybe they should have laid out a smarter plan and knock just one tower out, so people still have a signal and then move on, not knock out an entire area and then claim all is fine. Where I was working there was no signal for 32 days, 32 days of no service and no urgency to get it up, not a real wise way to overhaul a network. And they wonder why they **** off a customer base that leaves and will never return, excuses don't pay the bills.
