NanoVirus Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I am surprised that nothing has been done on I75 north or south of Knoxville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuAnM269 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I grabbed 4g on McCallie Ave in Chattanooga this morning but not sure what going on with it. Once min I was connected the next u wasn't and some of the places already mapped I couldn't get a signal even using LTE Discovery. When I was connected the speed test was horrible I was lucky to get 1mbps at times and 3g was faster. I'll be back down there tomorrow and Thursday and see if things change this week. It's already on sensorly if you wanna check it out. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanoVirus Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Looks like the Ericcson crew is making their way around the Bristol area, this is almost like a game of Where is Waldo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaniels3968 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yea it's only one month till the race's at Bristol so they are going to need that network up and going by then since Sprint is the main title sponser for the nascar cup series Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NichLTONO Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Noticed some LTE showing in Chattanooga, I think Knoxville is cursed. I am just wondering where you are noticing LTE in Chattanooga, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuAnM269 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I am just wondering where you are noticing LTE in Chattanooga, please. It's around McCallie Ave and just north of there. And you can sometimes pick it up just past Germantown Rd on 24W Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Sensorly, I think the Ericcson crew is using that app to toy with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I am just wondering where you are noticing LTE in Chattanooga, please. So far LTE has been reported in these areas: http://sensorly.com/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint#q=chattanooga, TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 There are two LTE sites accepted complete in Chattanooga. Both are on the north side of the river. You can view the locations on our maps in the Sponsor section. Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NichLTONO Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thank you all for the details and the area where there was signs of 4G in Chattanooga. I decided to visit the sight at McCallie & Spruce mid-afternoon. The speeds were intermittent, at best. I did a speedtest and received 2.00 Mbps download and .10 Mbps, the best out of the few that I tried. I realize with all the Network Vision improvements, it'll be a while before we have any consistent speed from Sprint. I hope it is quicker than I anticipate.

JuAnM269 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 After reading the GMO post from today i'm a little worried that some of the sites in Knoxville will have this option. Looking at this picture of the Ericsson GMO picture I've seen some sites around town that have the same type of grating used to hold the GMO RUUs laying on the ground not put together yet.

There are not many GMO sites in the Nashville market. I think all site in the Knoxville area are full build sites. AT&T also uses Ericsson, and has the same RRU's and base station cabinets.

Hammer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Looks like the Ericcson crew is making their way around the Bristol area, this is almost like a game of Where is Waldo. The Abingdon area has 4g now, just in the town limits though (or most I should say). I got 19mbps d/l right in the middle of town tonight.

But I hope they do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaniels3968 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Not bashing Sprint or any of the contractors and I have no clue how long it takes to do one tower but the progress in eastern Tennessee is very slow. Tennessee was one of the most progressive states to bring broadband internet to rural areas so I wouldnt think backhaul is the problem here Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD Just going by what sensorly is showing it looks like they add a tower once every couple of weeks. At that rate its going to take a while to complete. I know that's not the whole picture just the point of view from those of us who have no clue how the process really goes.

ddaniels3968 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 But.....Chattanooga has another tower lit up today. That's 2 in 2 weeks! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
