I don't know if it's my phone (SGS3) or if the NV updates are coming into play slightly, but in the evenings my ping is 1000+ and I'm not even touching 0.2 Mbs down. A few weeks ago it was pretty good and nothing to complain about (can't recall the numbers). Anyone else in the area notice this too?

The first Lafayette sites are not scheduled to start work until the end of August. However, maybe they are starting early?

I hope, I don't think it's my phone cuz my old OG EVO was doing the same thing. I'll cross my fingers and think the good thoughts. I'm not against things starting early :-D

Highland is in the Chicago market, where as Lafayette is in the Indy market.

I love how every time a site has issues its assumed to be a NV upgrade instead of a network issue. This is going to do wonders for the perception of Sprints network health!

Must be a NV upgrade, Congratulations! If you drive to the tower fast you might catch the van.

Nex-tech is working on it. Ive already chatted with them a little. That data issue is happening to all the phones on my account.

I believe the Indianapolis market was having major hick-ups this morning. I drove from Lafayette to Indianapolis around 4 am this morning and had no data until I was on the SW side of Indy, around an hour drive and over 60 miles (I was trying to use Waze and it kept saying searching for network, I then verified it was Sprint (and not Waze servers) by trying to load a webpage).

 

I am not getting super hopeful that we were getting upgraded, but I hope I am wrong.

Had drastic improvements today (1.2 down with a -95 dBm signal, one bar), I actually stopped and talked with the Sprint people and they said they are tinkering with the towers in the area.

      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.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
