Network Vision/LTE - Atlanta/Athens Market

I just did a speedtest for the heck of it and my download is 29043kbps, 5998 up. In Suwanee, GA.

What is your location? I'm just west of the river and about 3/4 of a mile from the Buford Dam. I called Sprint and they said a tower in Alpharetta was giving issues and probably that was my problem. But I'm still 3G for the moment :(

I got a taste of 4G here in Cherokee County ... a reset of my phone sees 4G, but it quickly switches to 3G. Sad thing is I get poor signal quality, and I'm less than a mile from the tower.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable about the process can shed some light. But in my case toggling data gets the 4g to come back for a brief moment before the signal drops and it switches to 3g again. Is this some kind of testing mode? No matter how quickly I have tried I cannot get data to transfer over it...but it does connect, though it drops instantly even outside.

Consider yourself lucky. I toggled airplane mode after reading your post to see if mine would switch over....now....I dont even get a 3G connection anymore! Any other time I would be concerned...but to me it definitely says that they are doing something in my area....will wait it out.

I just turned my phone on and it said 4g here in Riverdale! Just for a moment, but I saw it!

 

I got 4g around the same time as your post but it hasn't dropped yet.

How is it performing?

 

Great so far, no drop outs from either my evo lte or my gnex. So far speeds been averaging around 15 down on the evo and 11 down on the gnex.

 

wow...you too??? what part of town? run any tests?

 

He is in Jonesboro as well.

I have not seen LTE anymore after that.

 

I did PRL update. Toggle airplane and network mode.

 

No luck.

 

I am still picking up lte just fine.

Yes, watching water boil.

 

I dont mind waiting for LTE but I am stuck in 3G and surfing is not shappy and it hangs and I cant video Skype.

 

Which part of tara are you off of?

    • 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.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
