I have a home based business. This is an account through Sprint Business. It's not cheap but it works better than Frontier.

Hello Everyone, I'm located in Morgantown, WV near the Star City exit off I79 and approximately 2 miles straight line to the closest tower. I'm at about 1000' elevation with few obstructions between my house and the tower. I use a Sprint Netgear LTE Gateway 6100D with unlimited/unthrottled data plan for my home internet. In addition I have a 10db Yagi antenna that is fixed inside my attic but pointed out a window towards the closest Shentel tower. The yagi is connected to the Netgear device. My only other option currently is Frontier with 6MB/1MB plan. I've used this solution since June 2016. It requires resetting the modem 1-2 times per week and speeds typically range between 6-10 MB download and 2-5 MB upload with a Ping ranges between 100-200 ms. My questions for folks on this forum are related to Morgantown, WV only and specifically the Shentel tower located near Lowes/Morgantown mall in Westover. 1. What Sprint bands are available with this tower? 2. Anyone getting speeds faster than mine listed above? 3. Any upgrades planned by Shentel for Morgantown and this tower? 4. Anything else you can share on Sprint/Shentel for this market? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I joined to get 4G LTE information for Morgantown. I read all 125+ pages and I'm still needing some help. I have a a ZTE Pocket a wifi hot spot with unlimited data and no throttling. I have this device/plan from my employer to work from home. I can only get 1.0M download service from Frontier so my company offered the Sprint device as they already had the device and plan. I live less than 1 mile from the Star City exit of I79 and high elevation with no obstructions. Sprint maps show I should be in the "Fair" 4G LTE and on the border the "Best" 4G LTE. I tested today using Speedtest.net and could receive 3MB down off exit 155 at the Gateway and University Town Center. I had the same speeds throughout the Star City area. Any idea what speeds I should expect? Any LTE or Spark info you have for this area of Morgantown? This hotspot will not move from my house.
