Finally got to take my trip up to Johnson City from Knoxville. Data speeds and connectivity are quite improved since the last time I took the trip, especially once you hit I-81. Definitely was nice seeing the the 4g icon light up for the first time. Ran sensorly on both an EVO LTE and a Note 2 which made me want to throw my EVO LTE out the car window. Having to airplane mode toggle it for it to pick up LTE is rather frustrating. The Note 2 had no issues picking up and maintaining signals. Once in Johnson City though, both phones pick up and maintain LTE just fine in the main area of town. It's quite nice and I can't wait for it to get to Knoxville.

 

Here's some speeds here in JC. Not some of the spectacular numbers I have seen but still quite good and much better than I'm used to.

DId you have any problems picking up and maintaining a 4G signal on I26? I lose my signal once I past the exit for Gray.

They are the towers of Barad-dûr and Orthanc.   AJ

The Greeneville tower was accepted a couple days ago along with one near Kingsport. Robert had them posted in the completed towers thread.

What has been everyone's experience with 4G inside of a building so far?

 

Today I was a bit surprised to see that I got LTE in my office, which is inside a distribution center warehouse!! I moved my phone away from my window and lost LTE and never got it back......argh. I done a speed test while I had though and got a big whopping 2.1Mbps down and 0.17Mbps up....lol

Only indoor experience I've had with it was in a hotel room. With my evo lte it was slightly frustrating. It would randomly cut out and switch to evdo 3g and never switch back with out an airplane mode toggle but with my note 2 it would hold a signal seemingly indefinitely. So if you have a phone with a good antenna you ought to be alright for the most part.

Well today in my office I've stayed connected all day so far *crossing fingers*, let's see how long this will last with my EVO Lte. As they are not supposed to have that great of reception??? I've had no complaints here myself.

I've had issues with my phone's hand-offs between ehrpd and evdo so it might just be an issue I have.

Well I lost 4G signal yesterday around 130 or 2 and today I haven't been able to pick it up at all inside. Went outside on lunch and finally picked up 4G and RSRP is fluctuating between -90 and -105dBm.

Drove through Corbin, Barbourville, Pineville and Middlesboro, Kentucky today, picking up multiple LTE phantom signals. I was hoping to connect to LTE while in Middlesboro, but as a consulation prize, my 3G speeds were at least 1mpbs in all cities.

Grabbed 4g just off the exit in Ooltewah exit 11 of I75 this morning stopping for breakfast it's showing on Sensorly but I didn't have time to go down any farther to see where it went. Lost it right before I got back on the interstate.

I'm on middlesettlements road in Maryville, kind of between Walmart and Hunt road, and I'm picking up 4G! It's coming and going, and isn't super fast yet, but still, to see this is very exciting.

Well I picked up Lte again today in my office, streamed Pandora no problem, no pauses or anything; was like I was listening to a CD....with advertisements of course. :-P

Picked up LTE again in Maryville, this time on 411 while eating at Pancho's. The crews are doing some work!

A Pancho's reference! Yes. I hear all sorts of ads for that when I go down to Knoxville to visit my cousin.

Try using Sensorly to map it.

Is this a legit app? I've heard quite a few people call it spyware? I've used their website to check out a lot of the coverage though. Love the website but I'm just weary of the app.

So this came out today: http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/11/sprint-leak-has-lte-reaching-los-angeles-april-12/

 

In the image, the header states in bold that the announcement includes the Nashville market... but the list of cities affected aren't the Nashville market at all.

 

Memphis, Greenville, Tullahoma

 

Memphis is it's own market with Greenville and Tullahoma geographically far enough away to not even matter to the Nashville Market.

 

So what does this mean exactly? Maybe it was a typo and LTE will be officially turned on tomorrow for Nashville?

The Nashville market is Nashville and everything in East Tennessee.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
