Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

Recommended Posts

It's bleedover from Manhattan. There are still no LTE sites accepted complete in the Northern Jersey market as of yesterday.

Does that apply for all of Northern Jersey? Spring Valley, Nanuet, Monsey would seem to be pretty far over for bleedover.

So what's the range of LTE sites? I just started to see the LTE signal on my iPhone 5 this morning on my light rail trip on the Hudson-Bergen line while going through parts of Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken. Are these coming from the LTE sites that are starting to come on line in Manhattan along the West Side Highway?

The range is two blocks to ten miles. Each site is specifically engineered. There is no answer to your question. Every site is unique. In urban areas, they engineer the cells to be very small to serve a dense customer base. In rural flat areas they can set up a tower to serve a 10 mile diameter in the best circumstances. Everything else is somewhere in between.

Yes, you would be safe in that assumption.

I picked up LTE in Jersey City off the Holland Tunnel...Sadly, im pretty sure this is also bleedover from downtown Manhattan. On a brighter note I got great 3G speeds around baldwin and 139..1.5mb down/900k up; 80ping..

First LTE site accepted today in the Northern Jersey market. It's on the east side of Parsippany along I-80. It will be shown on the NV Sites Complete sponsor map tonight when it updates. :tu:

...Yep, I was passing by there last night around 12:30AM and was surprised to see LTE pop up on my phone. Promptly did a speed test and got 17.67Mbps down / 7.06Mbps up. Really hope more sites go live in Parsippany soon! The time I've spent without LTE is too damn high!

Got 4g on and off now in Garfield NJ. Just woke up to it thought I was dreaming

Great to hear this! Install Sensorly app, if your still rocking an android phone and see if you can get some of that LTE mapped..

Got LTE signal on the parkway northbound by clifton paterson border. My data service has been disconnecting alot the past few days, like if they were shutting down towers to work on them.

 

Didn't get any this morning. I get off on 19

I picked up a LTE signal on New Road (near the Wawa) and Route 280/Ridgedale Ave in Parsippany/East Hanover this afternoon.

 

Here is a speed test I ran on my home from work: Good DL, terrible UP

I'm connecting to LTE on the parkway northbound also. Around exit 155 but it disconnects around 157. Also for some reason sensorly hasnt been working on my EVO, if not i would have taken a better screenshot

I was heading south from Elizabeth this morning around 2AM when Signal Check alerted me about 4G, put down about 317 points of 4g data on Sensorly along NJTP heading back to Virginia

Picked up an LTE signal getting off the bus on Bergenline Ave and 77th street in North Bergen yesterday!

 

A few speed tests averaged 10-11mbps, not bad at all.

    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

    • 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.

    • 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.
