4G is still down for some reason. We had some pretty nasty winds last night and I wonder if there was some damage to the panels or maybe the central Microwave tower here in town. Been too tied up so far to go investigate, but I intend to later.

Friday morning I called support again.  After a 15 minute call, the final resolution was "you do not have Extended LTE because you have exceeded your 100mb roaming limit."  I knew this was the wrong a

In the sponsor section of the site I have posted pictures of work going on in Lexington. Confirmed 1 site has Panels, RRUs, and Cabinets installed but not active.   Possible work on at least 2 more

In almost the furthest western point of the Eastern Kentucky Market I confirmed site in Frankfort KY is in progress.  Got to talk to the techs there working and snapped some pictures.  Funny thing is

It already is upgraded to 1x800. No one is getting EVDO on 800mhz. That was never part of nv. But this market will get all upgrades through nv 2.0, iincluding band 41 eventually. But bands 26 and 25 are already up and running in your market.

My tower is 3g still sadly and i ain't getting anything as far as 800mhz coverage it says my tower is 4g lte but im not getting it sadly

What phone are you using? I know most places in and around Lexington are upgraded but looking at the network vision sites complete map, I can see that some sites near Corbin and London are indeed still 3G only. But they, too will be upgraded.

I'm going to go ahead and "call it" and say the local towers have launched 1x800 voice. Central kentucky along the 127 corridor from Danville to Frankfort is completely covered in 1x800 voice. Never once lost signal from my driveway to the capitol today including a stop in the Harrodsburg Wal-mart and Danville Kroger.

Has anyone picked up any b26 around there too.

Not that I know of, but my fellow Sprint users that I know are like me, we all have old single band phones. I'm hoping to get a new one this summer, but haven't done it yet.

What are typically the signs that Spark is coming to an area? Really hoping to see it in Lexington soon.

Permits and visibly seeing B41 panels/radios being added to your sites.

well band 26 is also part of Spark and so is band 25. Both are already live in Lexington and surrounding areas. The only part of the trifecta (see what I did there?) missing is band 41. I am not sure if Lexington will be part of the first wave of band 41 coverage (Sprint's much touted first 100 million) or not as they've been fairly vague in specifics on the b41 rollout.

Im getting 1x 800 but the dbm is the same as on 1900 before so i wonder what is the cause ? Shouldnt the dbm be less ? Im getting -101 to -106

 

The signal should be stronger.  But sometimes before optimization it can be about the same.

I drove through Kentucky on route 9 skirting the border with Ohio on my way to Indianapolis. Terrible service. :(

Sprint has no native service along the AA Highway until you get close to Cincinnati. If you had service at all, it was most likely "extended" coverage on nTelos or roaming on Verizon.

I love the drive along the Ohio River. It's been a long time for me. Back in 1992, drove from Cincy to the Tri-Cities. Happy memories.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      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.
