Why a Premier Sponsor would use Sprint coverage maps when they have access to S4GRU Site Acceptance maps is beyond me. Everyone knows that the Sprint LTE coverage maps are awful unless you zoom all t

Guys!!! First LTE signals here in Hockessin. Just noticed it at my house.

 

Hopefully the tower is in Delaware. Probably coming across the border from PA though, there are several towers on the PA side that are live. Either way, its good news.

I hope it's Delaware because there are 2 towers near me in Hockessin and they are supposedly both .5 miles away from me. But the LTE kept coming on and off but the speeds were still amazing. Getting over 14 MP. And I just checked sensorly and it shows no lte around my way. Closest PA LTE is Kennett Square.

Funny thing, I woke up this morning with the Sprint Zone News alert saying they are building a new network (even though the news link is about a week old).

 

Not that Hockessin, is really close to me.

Pretty sure that alert went out to everyone. I got the same thing here.

I don't doubt it, but I did find the coincidence with Platinum's posting amusing.  :lol:

Yeah keep me posted. I just checked my dad's note II...it says 4G. So I'm guessing it's being tested. I've been waiti

Just got off the phone with the Sprint rep, the tower on Limestone Road near my house (.5 Miles) is getting worked on for Network Vision so I should be getting better and better LTE signal this month. He said the towers near the PA- DE border will also be done the same time as the one on Limestone Road and work it's way down south Delaware. Not to brag but I'm glad it started at my location. I guess the Rep I spoke with 2 months ago was telling the truth when she said, "give it about 2 months before you start seeing LTE signals in your area!"

How can I prove it ?

I believe you and your screen shots earlier are enough proof. Since you have an iPhone you can't map the coverage with Sensorly. It is just one of those quotes on this site.

Not trying to burst anyone's bubble, and I could be wrong, but there is a new LTE-accepted site just on the other side of the border in PA. I hope I'm wrong, but until I see something concrete to the contrary I think this is a PA site.

That is/was my initial thought. It is still a good sign, but until it shows in the acceptance reports I can hope. Some good mapping and engineering screens might give an answer. If I lived in northern DE I would probably spend a couple of hours doing that.

 

That said, a site has to be broadcasting 4G sometime in Delaware, probably sooner rather than later.

      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.
