I also was getting 4g while at the movies at turkey creek. It was odd that I had it the entire time I was inside but only off and on outside last night.

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.

Interesting, I live right next to Turkey Creek and haven't seen it at all. Maybe I'll drive around and see if I can pick it up.

 

You didn't map it by sensorly by any chance?

No I didn't sensorly has been crashing a lot on my htc one but like you the only place I really seen it last night was inside the theater not in the lobby and really spotty just outside the theater. I do know that the tower down by wild wings has had the ruus on it for about two weeks now so not sure if they were testing it or maybe regal has a repeater inside the theaters themselves and that was the reason for the spotty 4g just outside the building.

I was picking up 4g in Seveirville, TN Tuesday when i was there for a golf tourney. I even picked it up while i was in wilderness hotel room. I got 9.4mbps down and 7.7mbps up in the room!!! Was nice to see that area starting to get 4g.

Looking at Sensorly it appears a tower at Campbell Station was turned on in the last couple days.  Doesn't appear on Roberts reports.  Perhaps it's in his next update.

Mapped out some 4G around Cleveland on the way to Dayton. I was able to map out some points north and south of Dayton. When passing Campbell Station, I couldn't pick up any 4G.

I was picking up LTE along I40 between Cedar Bluff and Exit 379. Went away when I exited north. More West Knoxville LTE!

 

I mapped it this morning from the weight station past cedar bluff

Mapped out some 4G around LaFollette and on I75. Had to restart my phone before it would pick up any 4G. For some reason the LTE app nor toggling airplane mode would work.

Mine does the same thing. I even have to reboot to ehrpd sometimes

Took a trip to Turkey Creek and did get 4G!! Here are the speed tests:

 

The High:

The Average:

Screenshot_2013_05_21_19_58_31_1.jpg

 

The Medium:

Screenshot_2013_05_21_20_05_10_1.jpg

 

 

The Low:

Screenshot_2013_05_21_20_22_39_1.jpg

 

 

As you can see, the speeds do range a bit.

 

The average stayed around 4-6 Mbps, followed by the lows which were 3.0-3.5 Mbps.

The high speeds stayed around 15-18 Mbps, followed by the mediums which stayed around 7-11 Mbps.

 

Also, the bars shown in the pictures might not be the bars at the time of taking the speed tests. I did have full bars and got around 2.3 mbps once, I didn't grab a picture at the time.

Did the speedtest cause your battery to drop like that?

Yes... yes it did.

There were a few other speed tests, but for the most part, from 7:58 to 8:22 I dropped 17%.

However, I have complained about my phone's battery before, and many people told me it might be defective.

I see 4g popping up in Seymour now. Awesome

 

Does it come back down into Knox any? I'm heading up that way today to visit some family.

Where are you guys showing Sprint 4G LTE coverage in NASHVILLE?  Are you sure you aren't misintrepreting that as WIMAX?

 

I don't see any 4g LTE coverage anywhere on the maps anywhere in the Nashville METRO area....

 

Columbia, Lewisburg, and Shelbyville are the only areas that show Sprint4GLTE coverage so far.

 

i'm getting a Samsumg Victory in a few days, so I will be able to report on the coverage here.

 

but.. I don't think Nashville has it yet.....

YET, more southern middle tennessee, such as lewisburg, columbia, and shelbyville are flooded with LTE coverage....and sprint's coverage map is only about 7-8 days old.

 

so that makes no sense.

Greg, welcome to S4GRU.

 

You will come to realize that staff and members here have more solid info about Network Vision deployment than Sprint's own marketing department does.  So, do not bother with the Sprint coverage maps right now.  They are imperfect.  Become a Sponsor, and you can view our completed site maps, which are updated several times per week.

 

Also, you will soon understand that larger metros do not get priority over smaller cities and rural areas.  Network Vision deployment is about efficiency, not population density.  In order to complete Network Vision as soon as possible, sites that can be overhauled more quickly are finished first.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
