kingterrykimble Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Just found some more B41 love up here in Baton Rouge. Mind you I'm sitting inside an office building which is historically bad for signal check Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingterrykimble Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yet another B41 tower here in Baton Rouge. Hopefully Downtown gets its makeover soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeblue Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I am in Baton Rouge for work this week and I was looking at the coverage maps before I left and I was really disappointed about the lack of coverage and I was expecting a lot of roaming. But Sprint delivered actually a good and solid LTE coverage between New Oleanes and Baton Rouge along the I-10 & I -12 corridor. No roaming, LTE all the way. I have not seen B25 yet because my phone sticks to B26 like glue but it works very well. Have not seen yet B41 but I hope I will later today and when I go Friday into the French Quarter. Very happy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLAAggie Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I saw Southern Light installing a monopole tower in yhe neutral ground of S. Carollton and Hickory today. Anyone have a clue which provider it is? I'm hoping Sprint the coverage in that area is apotty at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to start thinking about my next handset. Nexus 5 maybe? With some B41, Carrier Aggregation on the new chips, plus the potential to do a 10x10 LTE in 1900, speeds around here could finally be coming together. Now I just need a phone the size of my 2013 Moto X that can do it. Hmm... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digiblur Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The legacy site that just won't stop. Downtown Baton Rouge legacy rebuild. New single band antennas, new coax, and legacy cabinets moved from the roof to the sidewalk during the building construction. Figured some of you would get a kick out of these. http://imgur.com/D2d0auP http://imgur.com/TGetuhh http://imgur.com/GAJtN4F http://imgur.com/5oJCJ9R http://imgur.com/tKMYV2t 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hold your breath for a second PCS LTE carrier. Sprint is still happily using all of its non-G-block PCS spectrum for 3G: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirskyc Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Can anyone provide me with some solid information about coverage, and data speeds in New Orleans. I'll be down for a couple of days after Christmas till after New years. Will mostly be in the French Quarter. Staying at the Marriott which charges for WiFi. So I'm hoping to hear more about that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm hoping to hear more about that area. Which Marriott? The one near the Convention Center is a block away from a B25/B26 macro site; the one on Canal St is facing a tri-band macro site with three band 41 carriers. You'll also see B25 on the . You should definitely see usable data speeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should definitely see usable data speeds. Its the one on Canal St so this sounds very good. Also cool to learn about the ODAS in the French Quarter, curious if phones will latch on to a week B41 signal over the ODAS that only broadcast B25. Seems like Sprint is only using 8 out of the 14 LTE capable Towers available at that time from Crown Castle. Hopefully that has changed as of now. Its been 3.5 years since that video came out. would be cool if they added B26 and B41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Staying at the Marriott which charges for WiFi. So I'm hoping to hear more about that area.The Marriott gives free wifi if you sign up for their Marriott rewards program before booking. You might be able to sign up and attach it to your booking after the fact and still get the free wifi. You also get discounted rates on the rooms. Try logging into your account and switching to their member rate for the same room. It's stupid they do this, but since it's free to become a member, you may as well take advantage of it. For a booking I have in Peru, they kept dropping the price over the course of a month or 2. I just kept changing my room and selecting the exact same one again to get the lower price. Saved a few hundred dollars. Sent from my Pixel XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk I am not sure that Signal Check Lite does band identification, that might be limited to Signal Check Pro. You can always check your engineering screens to see what LTE band you are connected to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignalCheck can't properly identify the B41 mini macro sites in the area because they share GCI space with B26 sites. If the second hex digit from the right is a 3 or a 4 (e.g. 31, 3A, 42) then you're on band 41. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was with ookla speed test..I tried with sensorly but it would never get over 100 in the same spot.
