Network Vision/LTE - Nashville Market (including Knoxville/Chattanooga/Tri-Cities)

[NanoVirus]

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.

Well look who is back

 

I've always been checking, I just have been busy with college and all. But I do come back every week or so.

Driving to work on Wednesday and I saw a cell tower being worked on. I checked and it was a sprint tower. I managed to get a picture of it yesterday (Friday). It looks like its still being worked on, however.

A Sprint tower just south of city limits near Athens has NV panels tied up to the top rack. I will try to get a picture but it's back in the woods on private property.

Looks like Maryville will get it before Knox. Sevierville will probably be before Knox to. Oh well still love to see them light up.

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

Well if I can find and hold onto a signal the speed is great and very comparable to what it is right outside the building.

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.

I am in Charlotte and I have the same PRL for my 4S.

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

Well finally nice weather. Maybe work will speed up some. I am suprised the crews have gotten anything done with all the rain here in knoxville or east TN for that matter.

[mhuling]

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.

[JuAnM269]

I added alot of interstate 75 around chatty today in sensorly . There are some towers I'm picking up that were not live Monday.

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.
