They still have a lot to improve here. Sands gets coverage in the main halls but gets little to no coverage in the meeting rooms. However other carriers Verizon, ATT have great strong signal.

 

 

How was your experience with the rest of the strip or Las Vegas? A lot to improve at the Sands (yes!), what about the rest of Las Vegas?

No LTE in Sin City. Instead, Vegas is getting El Tí y, the cheap Mexican knock off.   AJ

Outside the coverage is not bad. Haven't been down the strip much since I'm working all day. 

 

Gets a little frustrating when people next to you have ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon and not lose service or data.

It'll be like that until band 26 is cleared for rollout. That'll solve most of the issues.

I had the opposite experience where my att friend couldn't use his phone and I was free and clear.

You are probably right. But not when I'm sitting next to my co-worker in Palazzo casino and they get LTE on their AT&T phone. Or in Sands where they get LTE and I'm barely getting 3G.

Will be in Vegas starting Thursday for EDC, expecting great service in the strip and Motor Speedway. Last year service was pretty good while at the event. Probably will see even better service than a year ago. I have a Moto X Pure so lets see how my phone reacts with the crowd.

Low band or not, Sprint still does a good job on the Strip. The area next to the T-Mobile arena (ironically) is probably one of the best for B41 on the Strip and outperformed my T-Mobile tablet while waiting for a ride back to the airport.

 

Downtown Vegas casinos are another story.

I'm heading there too. I was wondering whether or not to buy a set of walkie talkies for my group just in case we get separated and service isn't great.

 

How was data at the event?

Last year, was able to upload some vids, check facebook, make calls and texts with no problem. LTE data would go on and off intermittently if too many people in one spot but it would re-scan and come back. There's a sprint tower close to the venue so that probably helps. I had a Moto X 1 Gen last year on LTE B25. Have a Moto X pure now so band 41 should help a lot.

 

My friend on ATT was struggling with no service at all, my other friend on T-mobile was fine.

 

I took some walkies last year but didn't use them, make sure you time-stamp your text messages in case there is congestion. 

 

See you under the electric sky  :banana:

I was very disappointed seeing these speeds all last weekend inside casinos and walking the strip.

I have never seen really high speeds in Las Vegas even on 2CA sites. Not sure why but Sprint never made it past 40MB down.

Geez, these speeds make me glad to be on Sprint. Now here's me hoping that I get enough reception to be able to use the hotspot feature of my plan to turn in some assignments for school. 

PS:
I'll be glad to have a working 8 Mbps/2 Mbps connection during EDC... heck all over the Sprint Network would be nice.

Where have you seen this speed? I have been around CSN next to a tower and there is nothing past 35MB down!

I want to say that I was around Silverado Ranch and Bermuda.

 

Which CSN campus were you at? I've gotten pretty good service at CSN Henderson and CSN Charleston, not so much at CSN Cheyenne.

How was the coverage and service out at EDC?

 

Text with no issues, data was sluggish, but was able to get push notifications from the Insomniac app at the speedway. Was on B41 mostly, data was congested. I have a Moto X Pure so carrier aggregation does not work on my device so perhaps people had better service with other devices.

There was a COW from someone next to Neon Garden. Two sets of long panels and two sets of large square panels that had 8 cables going into the bottom of them.

 

AT&T had a COW next to Kinetic Field which for my AT&T friends, it didn't seem like it was even turned on. However I saw an AT&T guy climb up on top of the truck to get a picture of the COW and the grounds with it.

 

I thought I took pictures of them with my phone, but I can't find them.

 

T-Mobile had intermittent LTE in various locations. The edges of Neon Garden and then the stage right of Circuit Grounds. It wasn't usable really anywhere during peak times in Kinetic, the garage area or the walking paths.

 

I too was able to get the push notifications pretty reliably from the Insomniac app. At least the PlurFi network worked well enough inside the garage area to coordinate meet ups / post stuff to social media.

Saw the COW as well but don't believe any were Sprint, seems like this year plenty of COW were on site, I remember last year, they only brought one and it was located at the same spot. 

 

I would fall back to 3G next entrance gate S. 

 

How do you know about T-mobile service? What service you have ? T-mobile or Sprint?

I was around CSN Cheyenne. There is a tower very close by but speeds are not really great in the area. Not sure what causes the slower speeds.

Driving to Vegas right now. 1x 800 is live now. I didn't see it on during EDC.

Whereabouts are you? There's been 1x 800 live inside of the Vegas valley for quite a while now. It's Band 26 LTE800 that we're lacking here.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
