Found a bit of b26 in downtown Brunswick. I kept switching between this and fringe 3g.

My tower here at work was accepted and is broadcasting LTE here in Ladson SC....only thing that sucks is that it is a mile and a half front the plant and LTE only reaches to the guard station gate at the front of the building...it drops off to 1x, 100 feet from where I work :-( it's scary that it only reaches smile and a half...funny thing is that it reaches 3 or 4 miles in the other direction. Discouraging....at least when my home tower goes live I will have great speeds everywhere but work. I wonder if my work tower will eventually reach farther or I am going to have to wait on LTE 800...hmmmm. There is a tower about 3 miles south of my work that is not even 3G accepted yet....it is in the middle of the wescott plantation golf club...hopefully that one will cover my work :-(

LG G2, Good phone

Awesome. I see some of your purple on sensory in Pooler also.

 

Thinking about the nexus 5 but want to be sure it works where and when I need it. Looks like the lg g2 is working in the low country.

Starting to pick up spotty LTE inside my house in Garden City, GA. Fastest DL so far was almost 6MB

 

But it is very unpredictable and I am continually having to switch my S3 Between 3G CDMA only and LTE and reboot. In other parts of Savannah. I can leave it on LTE all the time, but it usually stays on 3g in most areas.

 

There is a section of Broughton St, downtown Savannah that is LTE all the time, usually at least 5MB with good ping.

Hit LTE walking out of work today, (Coleman Blvd, Pooler) very weak, came up then fell down. I'll blame it on the wind lol Thinking it might have been from the Pine Barren Rd tower not 100% sure

With Hilton Head and Beaufort "launched" you might be getting some more lte love in Savannah soon.

It is all over the place. LTE or eHRPD. Sometimes I get better speed by switching to CDMA.

 

Got this sitting in my living room earlier today. Now I can barely view the graphics in FB.

 

I live behind the Dairy Queen in Garden City. Two Towers nearby, one on Dean Forrest.

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
