I did not run a speedtest. I only have 2xCA devices. 8th and Mulberry.

Hello is there any news of signal improvement planned any time soon in the Avon area? It's very spotty out here.

 

I can't speak to the immediate Avon area, however I do know that small cells are being installed as we speak in the Indy market that will improve coverage and capacity within the existing footprint. 

 

Additional macro (large coverage) sites are planned in the market, however it's difficult to say when work will begin on those.

Thanks for the response. If I go out about a mile south towards 36, I get lte plus speeds but over where I am it keeps switching between 3G and LTE quite frequently. Really hoping signal strength gets better. I don't even care if I don't get the fastest of speeds. Really want a good stable LTE connection. On the coverage maps I see a lot of holes in this area which is why I was wondering.

 

Thanks again, keeping my fingers crossed

This is in Danville. Just west of Avon right in town today. 3ca.

 

That's insane. I wish I could get like 10 down. The signal strength/speed in my area remains the same. Today's speed tests, average download 2mbps and upload 2.2mbps. My biggest issue is my phone flipping between 3G and LTE (when it goes to 3G the speeds are atrocious)

I was just going through my logs and notice two GCI's that match what small cell pattern has been. If either of you want to go around looking for them they are close together.

Connected a small cell in castleton at the ironworks plaza. Didn't find it to take a picture since I was in a rush. It didn't reach into the restaurant I went in, but provided good service outside.f895de7cbc597bcbddd410381bd1ccce.jpg

    • 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.
