I have not been here long enough to check out the entire strip. But the excaliber-tropicania area was bad yesterday. Going to travel some other areas on foot today along the strip. Out of the strip area, I did find some very good areas yesterday. Is it possible that we only have one carrier for band 41 here? I only see #40072 in the debug screen. How many thousands of tourists can be packed in the 6 or so hotels within range of this site that is running so slow.

 

 

I've pulled 80-110 Mbps all across the strip so no they don't have just one carrier band 41.

No LTE in Sin City. Instead, Vegas is getting El Tí y, the cheap Mexican knock off.   AJ

I had problems in Vegas about 2 monts ago at the Orleans. The LTE signal was strong, but slow. The hotel was packed with teen and preteens for cheer event. I put my phone on 3G only and got decent data for 3G. Once the cheer event was over 4G had excellent speeds. Teen and preteen girls can use their phones alot.

The Orleans has one of the best Bowling Alleys in the west, so I'm sure when all the professional bowlers are around, it slows down too.

There is definitely 2 Band 41 carriers in Vegas. I have seen other phones connected to it. I forgot to check when I was at Best Buy in Summerlin last Thursday night to see how speeds were. (Too busy putting my 7 Plus in its new Otterbox Defender.)

Looks like if Mobilitie doesn't get the small cells it needs in certain major cities, it will legally buy politicians in order to get it done.

 

http://m.reviewjournal.com/local/north-las-vegas/north-las-vegas-mayor-lee-s-re-election-chances-helped-big-campaign-donations

 

Mayor John Lee raised significantly more cash than the two political newcomers trying to upset his quest for a second term.

...

Lee’s largest contribution was $10,000 from Mobilitie Services in Newport Beach, California.

I honestly don't like it, but everyone does it so I won't criticize Mobilitie for it. They seem to have kicked their expansion into high gear and aren't fooling around anymore.

I get decent signal and speed outside on the strip when I'm in Vegas. But in the casinos is a whole different story. Mostly 3G then.

Have you been to Vegas since 800 was fired up?

Looks like Mobilitie is looking to serve underserved areas of Nye County. That could accelerate Small Cells in Pahrump, especially the outlying areas.

Well here's an update to my post on Thursday... I've been on the strip since Thursday and not very impressed with the "new network" from sprint. Many areas of non-existent data (overloaded) LTE.

From cosmopolitan all the way down to harrahs on the strip, the data is pretty much non existent

I was there for 4 days.  I had LTE on the street, but in many cases it was SLOW, SLOW, SLOW.  Like under 1 mbs.  I was rarely able to look at my security cameras at home.  Not enough bandwidth.  I get an e-mail when something moves in front of my security cameras. The e-mail contains a snapshot.  Not really a big file, but the photo did not snap up on the screen very fast like it does elsewhere.

I can also go into my APP for the security system and pull a live video from a camera or a 20 second recording of what has happened to trigger the alarm.  This was most often totally useless.  It works other places, but not very well in Vegas on the strip.

I was on Band 41 quite often, but there was practically no usable service.  Speedtest would not even run much of the time.

I did see a second B-41 carrier sometimes but I never saw carrier aggregation.  I was not really there to diagnose the Sprint network, but I could not ever see aggregation on B-41 with my Galaxy S-7 using the debug screen(LTE engineering).

As I was leaving and at McCarren airport, I did see 2xCA but even that was a little slow. It varied, but at about a 3mbs download average.

McCarren has good Wi-Fi and people should connect to it, but the American population does not impress me with their intelligence.

Hard to tell how many people were on Wi-Fi and how many on the Sprint B-41.  I can not believe that a 2xCA site can be overwhelmed like it appeared to be.  I have to wonder if they are activating the sites with insufficient backhaul.

Remeber that some site use AT&T as the backhaul & when I was at Bally's last month service showed strong yet the reality was bad could not do much live streaming on facebook nor snapchats were failing to upload I have an HTC 10

I have lived in Vegas for the last year and have never had any issue with Sprint other than Inside the Planet Hollywood hotel. In Henderson where I live I get a consistent 60mb-100mb Download speed and use 60gb-80gb alone each month. Sprint LTE has been so good out this way that we have cancelled our cable internet service

AT&T had no backhaul service or wireline ISP services in Vegas that I've ever been aware of.

Every time I come to Vegas I have mixed results. Some areas have decent and good speeds and other areas on the strip suck. Like tonight on B41 speeds are horrible in an area. Why? Can't they fix this?Screenshot_20170511-214416.pngScreenshot_20170511-214152.png

Yep, I had the same experience in March.  Extremely bad speed and bad pings on the strip near Excalibur in particular. Even outside on the strip.  Practically unusable.   WHY??   Some other places too.  WHY?    Horrible.  It ain't  a moving target.  Grab it and fix it.

Sprint's service in Las Vegas is generally good, but of course I don't spend very much time on the Strip (which technically isn't in Las Vegas ????). Hopefully they'll get whatever capacity issues they're having on the Strip sorted out soon or at least by the time that the Golden Knights start playing.

Lol the network had better be flawless by the time that the Raiders get here! That's more than enough time to work any kinks out.

Welcome to the Sprint Dome, home of Las Vegas Raiders. Put your cell phones on mute. Except for Sprint phones, you dont have to worry about getting a call here.

Lol that would be terrible, though if Sprint didn't buy the naming rights to Arrowhead Stadium right in their backyard, I doubt that they'd be willing to spend even more and do so here. T-Mobile pays ~$6M/year for the naming rights to the arena here. I'd have to imagine that the bill would be significantly higher for a brand new NFL stadium.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
