compuwizz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Fashion Show does seem to have upgraded this past month. I'm not sure if it is served via a DAS or not. However before I left for vacation it was very slow at the end of July, then I came back around the 7th and it was usable and worked well.

compuwizz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 So it seems that something has changed on Koval/Flamingo area. I now get LTE there. Physical Cell ID: 133 Cell ID: 199239938 Fluctuating around -112 to -108 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas_AMG Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Some progress. LTE signal turned on last Thursday at Pecos/St Rose and I 215. Good strong signal. DL speed was 23ish all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajwd Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I drove by there a day or so after Robert reported the tower had been accepted and saw no LTE; I think I was there Weds so hopefully they will leave it on broadcasting LTE; yea...progress in Henderson! First lit up tower south of 215! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajwd Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Couple data points: at Green Valley Ranch Casino yesterday at Food Court (inside) North end near glass got an LTE signal from the Pecos/215 tower of about -103 dBm on my SW Tri-Fi: about 3 mbps down and and amazing 7 mbps up; anyone know why the uplink is so much stronger? Never seen this behavior before; the tower is a good 2 miles away and for inside at -103 dvm I thought these were pretty good numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevlegit Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Has Vegas just come to a complete stand still or are people just not as involved anymore? Hopefully we start seeing some action going on down there soon with new sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Has Vegas just come to a complete stand still or are people just not as involved anymore? Hopefully we start seeing some action going on down there soon with new sites. Progress hasn't stopped in Vegas by any means. We just have a smaller group of people than many of the bigger markets. Plus the people we do have don't have free time all the time to go tower hunting. I'm in California, so going to Vegas isn't an easy thing to do, lol.

scubajwd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Green Valley Ranch Casino: inside at the new Starbucks (north end) hit -94 dbm on my tri-fi hotspot; but quickly fades as one walks into the interior of the building; little to no LTE south of 215 and south & east of St Rose Parkway; connected to LTE with my GS3 driving southbound on I15 from about Craig Rd to the 215; LV is not launched and I believe they will lite the place up in clusters to avoid some of the 3G-4G handoff issues that plague other areas...no band 41 RF that I can tell..Wimax is still very strong for me..thats your LV metro report..stay tuned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes complete sense. I just haven't heard anything in forever and sensorly looks the same as it has down there for 3 months. I am in Utah, but i am from Vegas and down there a lot so i follow it fairly closely. Hopefully we are in full swing with LTE coverage soon down there and up here in Utah.

scubajwd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 LV,IMHO, is way ahead of both SLC/Provo & Denver Metro; and with winter coming I expect that SLC/Denver will slow and Vegas will accelerate some simply due to weather conditions...your mileage may vary as always..

Actually every Samsung market is far ahead of every other vendor region thanks to ecfbs gaps that can only be fixed by upgrading the area. So Samsung have been spending all summer and fall converting sites as fast as possible and ignoring acceptance and integration until recently with mass cluster launches.

scubajwd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I see...then I sit corrected..it MAY be possible that SLC & Denver beat Vegas after all; I know that Denver has a leg up with Clear tower conversions on band 41..I'll keep an eye on the sensorly maps as I travel to both places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Utah, central Valley California, Bay area California, Seattle Washington, Iowa Nebraska (those got mass accepted these past weeks), etc etc. Ask anyone in a Samsung region and they'll tell you they see many sites installed but not live. Just part of the craziness that occurs when faced with a major network issue. Sent from my Google Nexus 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAREND Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 What a terrible LTE and Pandora experience I had in Vegas over the weekend. I had LTE in the Rio that was as fast as 14.4 dial up, if I stayed connected at all. The voice and sms was fine but the data was tough. I went to Henderson also, and it was ok there, but there is definitely work to be done. For the ride to and from Vegas to LA, I could not keep pandora going at all. iHeart worked, but not Pandora. I hope this gets better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajwd Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Somehow I think the eCSFB issues elsewhere have siphoned of resources here in Vegas land; just my opinion as it seems like towers get accepted but the LTE experience is spotty at best everywhere I travel and nonexistent south of the 215; I've pretty much stopped looking at this boiling pot of water as the more I watch it the longer it takes to boil; for now I just hope my WIMAX continues to be as good as it is at the house; 3G for my money has never been better and since my wife uses the Galaxy S3 for voice & text mostly we've become ambivalent towards 4G LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a couple LTE sites in my area that pull 0.02 down if you can get the speed test to work. Even with a nice -85 signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubajwd Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hello Josh..welcome back..hope your school semester went ok...just a note: I just set my personal best LTE download of 22 mbps set at south-west corner of eastern at horizon ridge on the starbucks outside patio; I've never experienced cellular speeds of this nature so it was quite a treat; the tower south of starbucks on Eastern is blasting out LTE & was accepted about 1 month ago; I'm still waiting on the Vivaldi park tower to go live but I guess there is backhaul issues with it..

Vivaldi Park isn't LTE yet? Wow. That's sad. Glad to hear other Henderson sites are going live. I still have a lot to do to catch my map all the way up, and hope to do so soon.

dbsynergy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas attending CES. The show was great but the 3G service was terrible almost the entire time. Not just in the convention center but in the casino's as well. Sprint must be hooked up to the DAS systems because I had excellent signal but the data service was useless. Phone calls connected just fine and texts were not a problem. My friend with Verizon service had LTE on his Galaxy S3 and it was working just fine even on LTE. It would be pretty sweet if Sprint upgraded their DAS integration with LTE service at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the various casinos with LTE. Especially if they could get B41 LTE going on the DAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
