Network Vision/LTE - Pittsburgh Market

[Poopscoop2323]

Noticed lte was flipping on and off at the p bar in pleasant hills tonight. Couldn't get a speed test or Sensorly map but I would assume some tower work has been done in that area which is new.

I picked up a 4g signal in Oakmont right next to the golf course.. Weak signal, but there is 4g out that way

[evo bryan]

more 4g up and running in west mifflin by the mill

[Bar1203]

Found more lte in Penn Hills... Too bad the signal drops off a block from my house.

Out of curiosity, is there a page to view network Vision enhancements for the burgh? Has anyone noticed better 3g speeds between 1 and 2.5mbps?

only site that i know of is   network.sprint.com

 

 

after sprint did some work on a tower that covers my house the speed jump from 0.03mbps to like 1.80mbps durning the day and ive hit 2.4mbps (max) very late at night around 2:30am on a week day BUT the speeds didnt last that long the speeds are around 0.40mbps but still not enough speed to do videos and what not...guess this was temp fix?

Yes.

Even though I have not gotten 4g in my area yet, I still have excellent 3G in my area. I can peak at speeds of over 2.5 Mbps at the right time of the day and still maintains 1+ mbps at any time of the day. This gets me pumped for the speeds I might see with the upgraded network because of how close I am to the 3G tower. I say this because generally Sprint will keep their 3G and 4g towers in the same spot.

Wow, #mindblown. What part of Pittsburgh are u getting that speed? Too bad it's not in southside because that is the only place I go that I can't connect to wifi. Can not wait to experience decent 3g speeds

i live in Adams township (my house is literally steps away from seven fields) you might be on the other side of cranberry. I have proof as well of the speedtests I have taken Edited July 3, 2013 by Jakob

R u sure that's for data? I think 800mhz is just for calls right now. I don't even think sprint has a phone that would get 800mhz data. Right?

yes it for voice calls for sure, i dont think they do (800 for data)? i just got lil bit excited lol mybad

[evo bryan]

I'm shocked as well. Never would have thought that 9 days removed from the iden shutdown that we would see something like that
