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

Finally 4g at home. they turned two towers on this week on Chapman Hwy. It dosent penetrate the house very good at all but 3g never did either but if by a window or outside I get about 15mbps.

Still doing pretty good here.  The LOWEST reading was taken about 8 miles away from the tower.

the others were within 2-3 miles of the tower.  Still pretty good. On at 3G at home.

The Athens area was lit up today except for downtown. Now I75 is covered pretty well all the way to Chattanooga from Athens

[greg4lte]

Recent.  I'm still impressed.  I think the SENSORLY speed test is actually more like "real world". 

Speedtest.net often inflates speeds on a very high speed connection.

Shows Virgin Mobile, but that's of course, SPRINT.  the ISP shows Sprint.

Any news on this tower?

 

 

Might make some people happy but drove by the Hutchinson Ave tower this morning to find the spools of new coax, moving the cabinets into place, and of course the most important the guys assembling the antennas on the ground with all 3 ruus in place. And sorry for the bad pics I was zooming in from across the street.

Sorry I've been away for a while. Still no update on this tower. The antennas are still there and so is the coax spools. Not sure what they are waiting on but I hope if the weather clears up some they will finally come finish this one.

That sucks I would have figured that one was all ready to go already. Thanks for the info.

[JuAnM269]

Your not the only one. Especially when I drive by some of these recent ones and don't see any equipment there at all and by the end of the week they are turned on and ready to go.

I sold my Galaxy VICTORY... Bought a GS3.... Hope it gets just as good as speeds as the Victory.  I would assume

it has a similar radio.

[greg4lte]

i was in Murfreesboro, TN just 2 days ago, and the 4G LTE never got over 3mbps......Pretty pathetic.

Just off Medical Center Parkway by BestBuy.

Could have been a weak LTE signal or that tower was very busy

[greg4lte]

Well, let me update, Transferred everything over to the Galaxy S3.  PATHETIC SPEEDS.

 

Now, mind you, this phone is connecting to the SAME TOWER it was when I had the Victory.

 

I'm suddenly on a new prefix (931-447-xxxx) instead of the number (931-371-2291) that I had earlier.  Not sure why I couldn't keep the same number.

 

Anyways, NOW, My LTE never reaches over 10mbps (versus over 30.....not that I need that much speed...but why cripple my speed all the sudden)............My ip address is coming from DESTIN, FLA!!!!!!

Earlier, my IP address was coming from Shelbyville, TN (duh, I'm in TN, I should be routed from TN).

 

I know mobile broadband devices used something called a HA(home address).  I wonder if I can get Sprint to reassign me a closer HA)??????

 

NOT HAPPY!

This can happen.  I have connected to the same tower and had Nashville one time, Ringold, GA another time.  I would suspect it is distributing the load on the servers.  Speed can also vary due to usage.  More people can be on at one time and it will slow the speed.  In downtown Nashville, I can have days where speed can be 8 down and 4 up, then days where the speed is less than 3 down and 1 up.  As they say it is a work in progress and it has shown much progress since the deploy started.

I know there for awhile they were on a good pace then nothing. I look everyday, check sensory and nothing I agree with you it feels like they just left.

I just went to AT&T yesterday as well. Signal and speed is good. Gave SPRINT a try. just not enough coverage down here in the Lewisburg area.....absolutely none in chapel hill, and none til you get near Eagleville, or down towards Columbia, or next to I65.

OOOH, and the sprint maps show Chapel Hill flooded with Sprint LTE! NOT!

Its been nice chatting with you guys, and I did enjoy the SENSORLY program. but this area needs vast improvement.

As of 7/14/13, WalMart yanked ALL Sprint Phones out of this market...

Best of luck. Sprint is not the best network for every customer and it sounds like coverage is not what you need in your area.

Thanks Robert.  I have enjoyed using the forum while I had my sprint phone.

Looks I'll be hanging around a bit anyway.  Hooked up my sister with a VICTORY 4G LTE.  She's in Columbia/Spring Hill, and they've got adequate coverage for her needs!  So if she runs into any issues with questions, i'll check here for some answers or updates!
