Think I set a new speed record, for my devices anyway. This was at Yale and Monaco.

Any and all 31/32/33 39/3A/3B endings are Nokia Mini Macros on Macros typically found on former Clearwire sites. Each mini macro is a stand alone BTS so will have unique GCI identifiers.  For old

Well this site just got upgraded. This was a gmo with legacy panels. Sorry for posting here but my password for premier isn't working. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Yeah, that must be a GPS error. The Colorado market just finished design. Seems almost impossible for it to be starting. Unless it is like the Cupertino anomaly in the South Bay market. Where a few cells were intentionally deployed, but the market hasn't started. But that was for Apple.

After further review...it is on a Sprint Call Center. I was told about 2-3 months ago that they were going to start installing LTE in all Sprint buildings. So this is not surprising at all.

 

I'm going to be watching to see if the Albuquerque call center gets LTE any time soon!

 

Craig, the next time you are in Centennial, you should drive by and see if you get a LTE signal at the front door.

We may have to start raising bail funds for when Robert is arrested for loitering outside the Albuquerque call center.

 

;)

I'm deffinatley gonna go to this sprint call center to see if I can pick up LTE, I live in littleton so it isn't far. I just got my iPhone 5 and I am eagerly awaiting LTE lol

 

Try in the parking lot. If you can't get it there. walk up to the building and try. And if all else fails, try to walk in and ask to buy a phone. :lol:

I rarely get down there, but I will certainly have it in the back of my mind to check it out when I find myself out there again.

 

Would any sites nearby be eHRDP, or since this is a sole LTE site would there be no upgrades to neighboring sites?

I would be very surprised to see eHRPD. Since it is an in-building LTE deployment, it probably is an island not attempting to pass LTE data on to the macro network.

It seems like they are doing something, my 3g speeds have improved dramatically, I get 1.2-2.0 mbps consistent just outside of downtown denver at the Broadway Lightrail station, and far better speeds in littleton then I used to. Before I was averaging .1-.2 mbps.(on my 4s) Now its almost never less then .4Mbps. I wonder if it's the phone or first signs of NV in the area. I am happy that my iTunes match doesn't timeout every 20 seconds but streams as seemlessly as pandora with a 256/kbps bit rate

 

I'll have to test this on my ladys 4s to see if it is isolated to the new phone or actual network improvements

So not only is there no proposed 4G LTE rollout date for Denver, now I get no 4G signal at all downtown, where I used to get a full 5 bar signal. Anyone else having this problem?

 

Man, Sprint is going from bad to worse..... I sure hope they are putting in a new tower and get 4G LTE rolled out soon, or I may have to jump ship. I will definitely miss the unlimited data, but that can't last for much longer I imagine.

It is likely a temporary WiMax outage.

Well, WiMax/'4G' has been out all week downtown. How long is a 'temporary outage' supposed to last before it becomes an 'extended outage'?

 

I've been a loyal Sprint customer for years, but my confidence is waning...

Have you reported it and opened a ticket? If so, what was the cause cited? Do you know if other users are having the same problem? You will get a lot farther dealing with Sprint than writing on our boards about your waning support for Sprint.

A dollar says they just want to complain and not spend any time trying to let Sprint know about it. It's easier that way, after all.

 

In other news . . . Any reason why eHRPD would be turned off temporarily after it's been deployed? It could have been a bug with RF Signal Tracker app, but every tower in the west/NW metro Denver suburbs I was connected to this morning had reverted to EVDO. Two hours later, they had been switched back to eHRPD. Found it kind of curious.

This happens often when eHRPD first deploys in a market. It will likely happen again. Don't know the cause. Probably related to the cores.

I was at the denver airport and drove to colo springs and i had ehrpd all the way down how long till it will get Lte then??

 

I certainly hope you are joking... If not, eHRPD deployment has very little to do with the LTE deployment timeline. eHRPD just needs to be deployed prior to LTE for there to be a smooth handoff. So there is no set time between eHRPD occurance and LTE. It could be weeks or many months.

      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.
