I was at the Rolling Road and Rt 40 intersection yesterday (the tower there is atrocious by the way 0.01Mbps) and my iPhone got a bar of LTE for a split second, then it disappeared. The tower I was connected to was NOT being worked on. I was in line of sight to the tower & not sure of any other towers in a 1-2 mile radius with work being done. Was this a fluke? It was one bar...

EDIT- looks like someone else has experienced this too. Fluke it is. :(

What is there to talk about? Deployment is just really getting underway. The reach of LTE 1900 and building penetration is the same as their 3G, except at the edge of service because of the fragile

Click on a Cascade ID for a coverage map of that site. Update 6/15/2012, all maps have been updated to better reflect antenna configuration, this is still just an approximate guess as to coverage YMM

I don't think blocking is going to continue much longer. Since Sprint invited PCMag out to one of their sites to experience LTE, I imagine that's a sign that they are going to open it up soon.

LTE is coming alive in Santa Clara. Previously, I had it near Apple's campus, about a mile and a half from my house. I had received an LTE signal near Bowers and Central, it disappeared, and now it is back strong. It followed me all the way to work, down Great America and on Tasman in San Jose. I have a Tri-Fi, and their iPhone app was updated and now broken, so I can't report anything more useful than "bars."

Thanks for the info; since you can't run Sensorly, at least you shared it.

 

So now, someone go plot it! :D

I'll get a chance in the next few days to do so.

DTLA is purple.

 

Finally! I ran a couple speedtests on Sensorly last night after picking up an LTE signal at my apartment for the first time. I'll see if I can map some more DTLA areas as I'm walking around this weekend. Sure beats the 0.3 d/l and u/l I get at work in Torrance.

Excellent. When you get a chance, please run the Sensorly app. It will plot the coverage there in Upper Marin and allow us to track coverage and deployment on the Sensorly.com website. Thanks!

Hello,

I just signed up to let you guys know I seen 4G/LTE connection in the city of Rockford. The signal have been really bad here for the past 3 or so months I would say and I guess just now we are starting to see some good results because of that.

 

Its still not all over the place.. I seen it in very few areas so far.. the speed wasn't consistant but that is to be expected as they are working on it.

 

This is on my samsung GS3.. rooted stock.

Rockford, IL 61109

The tower must be in your back yard! Sounds like your SNR is sky high.

i didn't think more than 37mbps down was possible in a 5Mhz channel

It's not. However, I experienced this same anomaly in Waco testing. I had 2 or 3 speed tests that exceeded the maximum speed. Up to 40Mbps. However, when I would do speed tests immediately after the 40Mbps result, they would always drop back down to 37.0-37.5 Mbps speeds for the next 10-12 tests. I just chalked the results higher than 37.5Mbps as inaccurate anomalies.

 

Not that there is any noticeable difference between 37.5Mbps and 40Mbps.

Saw LTE in a few places with my Galaxy Nexus:

D: 9.87 Mbps

U: 6.92 Mbps

Ping: 45 ms

Coords: 41.99528, -87.80543

This one was nearby Norwood Park Metra station (Chicago, IL, NW side)

 

D: 21.38 Mbps

U: 8.63 Mbps

Ping: 50 ms

Coords: 42.16354,-87.88149

Nearby Deerfield & Sanders Rds in Deerfield, IL, Lake County.

 

D: 3.14 Mbps

U: 1.79 Mbps

Ping: 53 ms

Coords: 42.04123, -87.88807

Metra Station in Des Plaines, IL, just outside the Sprint LTE coverage area

 

Saw an LTE 'blip' when riding the UPNW Metra train passing by Kedzie & Belmont when in Chicago. And some fringe coverage in the western part of Glenview, IL, very weak.

 

Chicago progress for Sprint appears to be good, except for my Airave drama, but that's another thread. <_<

Thats pretty dang fast! My buddy has a new ATT Iphone5 out in KC and he hit 50M down once. I thought ATT was going to have a huge edge with maximum download speed due to them having more bandwidth for LTE channels but this is pretty dang close. Didn't know the max was about 37M thought it was more like 20. For what I really do 3M would be enough. I just want to stream Youtube well and decent web page speeds. A ping <100ms sure would be nice too.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
