I have just now caught up on the Rochester thread. I hadn't been able to read this thread since August. Some notes:   1. I am not behind on Rochester NV Site update maps and never have been. I don't

Yes, these people.   Being the face of sub-par Sprint service 50+ hours a week has really taken it's toll over the last year or so. Constantly telling people to be patient and promising them (becaus

You know how little kids drive their parents crazy in the car by asking repetitively "Are we there yet" when all they have to do is look out the window for an update? You're figuratively doing the sam

Interesting that I actually picked up LTE briefly on Mt. Hope right near Highland Ave. So there is another tower closer to the city that seems to have it.

 

Just noticed this via Sensorly today.. pretty sure thats a brand new spot being reported. Not sure if thats the tower that would service me in the Winton/Monroe area, but there's finally hope!

grabbed this this evening while standing just inside Walmart in Henrietta - server it connected me to was in the mid-west for some reason, and i couldn't change to anything local - closest was Illinois. odd. but still, hell of a lot better than the 0.8mbps i see in other area

I was able to grab this speedtest in the car on 390 today, I thought it was pretty incredible and I'm thoroughly impressed.

 

I also saw a guy up in the tower by where 104 and 590 meet, installing brand new panels. I wish I had gotten a photo for proof but I wasn't quite quick enough. I'm positive it was a Sprint tower though, sponsors can check the map and see which tower I mean, it hasn't been accepted yet.

 

I think network vision is about to hit Rochester like a thunder, let's watch it light up fellas!!

I haven't left the Rochester area this month but have a little LTE data for my HTC One for October.   I'm assuming it was in Henrietta like others above stated.

 

I did experience some LTE speeds in NYC, Boston, and Philly in the past.  Can't wait.

 

I just downloaded SignalCheck Pro and already have sensorly installed.  I will post anything I pick up.  I live in Brighton near 12 corners.

Finally saw 4G in Henrietta at Red Creek/Calkins. It lit up, but disappeared before I could do a speed test. Also, my voice service (not data) has started roaming in my house. Hope that's due to work on the tower at 590/104 mentioned above.

Probably is! There was a guy in a harness installing what looked like new panels to me when I was in that spot. Hopefully they wrap it up soon and you get some LTE! :-D

I had roaming show up in Penfield yesterday... was on Plank Road where I usually get 2 bars or so.  I pulled up Signal Check Pro and it said I was roaming on AT&T.  Has anyone seen that before?  Does not really make sense (GSM vs CDMA).

In some places I have been shown to roam on AT&T as well, I think it's probably a fluke. The few times it's said that to me, it changed carrier again in a few seconds (did not stay on AT&T).

Best 3G speeds I think I've ever seen on Sprint, lol. Was all over Greece today as well and no LTE yet. This speedtest was taken in Rush.

 

I am curious how all of the sites marked 3G complete don't seem to have new RRU's, do the increased speeds come from just cabinets and backhaul or what?

      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.

      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.
