Western and north western ri have some issues but will be helped by 800 rolling out later next year. Pascoag, chepachet, foster etc definately have some coverage issues.

Just caught sight of some LTE testing in Lincoln Rhode Island! A small blip is now visible on sensorly. The signal was not consistent or fast but it continued to show up sporadically. Hopefully we see some official sights soon!

The whole state of Rhode Island is an active deployment area. It is possible you are experiencing problems related to Network Vision deployment.

I'm pretty sure when I was driving earlier I saw crews working off of I-95 in Providence. In fact, I was so curious that I went up to the site and saw a crew actively working. Not sure if it was a Sprint crew, but I assume it was just because AT&T & Verizon already have LTE in the area. Very exciting for me!

I may have been wrong about that site because I drove up to it and it was a T-Mobile site. Not sure if they're starting their LTE rollout. But strangely enough I'm one of those people at the RI/MA border so I get a low LTE signal at home, but the weird part is that it's like directly at my house and if I walk to the left or right of it, the signal gets lost

i wish we knew around what date/month we will start seeing LTE in RI.. its been about 2 months since they started i think? it will be nice to have LTE on my Evo 4g LTE!!! :tu:

 

I was at the Sprint store in Warwick today. Was told they are currently working in northern RI. They expect RI to be done mid 2013.

 

We need to be patient.

 

I was in North Kingstown today and got 1.85 down on 3G so somethings going on.

I'm just as excited to see dependable, consistent, 3G speeds showing up. Increased signal strength will help in a few areas and 800Mhz will be the icing on the cake.

 

Other than when I tether on a rare occasion, I don't know how much LTE is going to benefit me. But of course I still want it since both my phones are capable of it.

 

Got 1.80 down, .98 up yesterday on RT138 between URI and RT 95

 

Any other RI peeps noticing better 3G?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
