The crew is now working on the tower in Westlake off of Sampson Street     Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

This is all that I laid down today which leads me to believe the cell site is very close to the plant I work in as that area has the best signal so I will do some searching in the coming days. I will

Lake Charles is live! Still have a ways to go, but it's about damn time.

This is great news.  I'm not a Sponsor member but it is awesome that there is finally some network development in the Lake Charles/Sulphur/Westlake area.

We now have 4 LTE accepted sites, but still not transmitting LTE. Hopefully this turns around soon...I don't like to be teased.  :P

What does "accepted" mean?  Does that mean there's LTE equipment installed but it's just not live yet?

From what little I know...yes. But I'm not sure exactly why it's not transmitting yet.

Correct. It should be fired up. But Ericsson has been messing up all the new sites lately in the past few weeks. Maybe it will be on in a few weeks when they get around to fixing them.

Yeah, I've been seeing y'alls post in regards to that. I was secretly hoping that wasn't the case out here. Lol

I think it is pretty well confirmed what is happening. Someone is moving to fast and not finishing the integration into the network. Which means there's another problem... How on earth are they drive testing them?

WOW!!!! The upload is 3x faster than my speed at home.

And that's almost the max you will see. The 5mhz of spectrum allows for about 37 megabit down.

 

Looking at the LTE signal numbers in the top left of the screen I can see it was taken very very close to the active site. LTE is very dependent on signal strength but usually even in the fringes that 2 or 3 megabit is better than the Evdo speeds.

We went on vacation to Baton Rouge back in May and my daughter was getting these crazy speeds on her S3.  I cannot wait til I get an LTE phone and it goes live everywhere in the Lake area.

      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.
