I put together a map of cities where Sprint has already announced LTE, and the communities that Sprint has announced will have LTE soon. I have also marked the cities that have LTE available in the ar

Update!   In the two weeks since the last update, 48 new cities have newly received LTE coverage! Most notably, Phoenix, Arizona. We have also been able to add a few more communities in Ohio, as wel

The following communities have been marked with TD-LTE. I want to be clear on what this means. It means that these cities are part of Clearwire's initial TD-LTE rollout, and is expected to be complete

Do they consider Bristol, VA in the Kingsport/Bristol, TN as officially launched?  Or will they add Bristol, VA to Johnson City, TN when Sprint officially announces Johnson City?  Not one Sprint site in Bristol, VA has live LTE yet.

Received this in Lynchburg, Va.  I'm not holding my breath and fully expect to get very slowwwwww 3G speeds.

 

 

What kind of speeds are you expecting. Let me tell you from first hand experience. Sites with upgraded backhaul and 3g upgrades have very fast speeds...compared to what they used to be. Don't expect Tmobile and ATT like "3g" speeds because that is impossible.

Really I was not intending for this to be about the speeds and rather why am I receiving emails about LTE in my area (received a text a few months ago) and can't find my city mentioned anywhere regarding upgrades.

Gotcha. Yeh, they sent out an email  a while back which kinda confused half the country saying that upgrades are either coming in the next "month" or upgrades are coming in the next "Few months." I got it too in Orlando, and we have been launched for a while, even though its been pretty stagnant since launch date up until a few weeks ago.

 

What city are you in?

Lynchburg, VA.  I'd take 3G upgrades at this point but very odd to get an email about LTE....I've heard of the SMS alerts being wrong but didn't know it was now a problem for emails.

Someone might have to correct me, but I don't think that lynchburg is even native Sprint territory. I am seeing no upgrades to anything ever in that area. It's not even showing that sprint has sites there....

Correct I believe we use Ntelos towers.  So I guess I should be searching for Ntelos upgrades but I read somewhere that Sprint users cant use their LTE...so they have me all confused.

 

Their partnership with Shentel I was hoping would do something since that's an ISP in this region (and my current one) but it's been years and I haven't seen much of any progress at least LTE wise.

Lynchburg, VA is ntelos market. Right now sprint can't roam on ntelos lte maybe in the future who knows only ntelos knows for sure.

 

There was also a restriction on sprint and shentel not allowing them to overbuild that has ended in February. I don't know when or if sprint will overbuild I don't expect it soon. I personal think they have too much work to do elsewhere before they build out in wv and va. I hope 800 LTE eats into ntelos market from the edges. Then they overbuild down the interstate with 800 LTE fulling in as needed.

 

If you find out anything new about LTE in ntelos market I am sure the people who follow the ntelos market would love to hear about it in the ntelos market thread.

The recent extension of Sprint's network alliance agreement with nTelos does stipulate that Sprint folks CAN use nTelos LTE when it's available in the network upgrade process. The question now is, when will that happen in one's particular area during the next 6 - 12 months.

I read through this, may have missed it, but I drive truck (No external antenna, just using a HTC M8) through I-40 from Kingman AZ to Springfield and back so I've been watching LTE expand almost weekly. Picking up LTE now in fits and starts in Albuquerque NM, as well as Flagstaff AZ now. Also, In and around Amarillo Tx I am picking up B26 as well as B25. Vega Texas is up and running west of Amarillo. East of Amarillo in Groom Tx is LTE strong.  Oklahoma/TX Border (Sayre OK area through Oklahoma City picking up B26, as well as up the I44 corridor.I dont know if you need that for updates to locations and technology or if you would like SignalCheck screen shots of B26/B25 in those areas, I'd be more than happy to provide them in my next pass. Just lemmie know.

      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

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.
