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

The Nashville market is Nashville and everything in East Tennessee.

 

But the list... the only thing "East Tennessee" about it is Greenville. Tullahoma is south (closer to Chattanooga) and Memphis... well is as West as you can get.

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?

 

Nashville and some spotty areas across east Tennessee already have some usable LTE. Even Greenville

Someone mapped the interstate in downtown knoxville but I didn't grab anything even running lte discovery I did however briefly grab it near the woodland exit but I didn't have sensorly running. I'll check again throughout the weekend. On a side note there was a crew working on the tower again on hutchinson ave but I was in a hurry and didn't get to ask if the we're doing lte improvements.

Drove through downtown, wasn't able to get a connection .Anyone else have this problem? I am hoping Sprint is blocking my phone and that there is nothing wrong with mine.

I dove down there Friday and didn't get anything myself but I did see it was mapped in sensorly not sure what's going on with it unless it was a test and not ready yet

Not picking up an 4g on my iPhone 5 yet, but I'm very close to the tower at Middlebrook and Gallaher View. I'll be sure to update when I see some activity at that location. Some Insituform drain pipe company has been doing some work there recently which was cause for a little false alarm excitement a couple weeks ago!

No problem here getting 4g downtown. Sitting on Cumberland waiting to turn onto Henley and get on the interstate I got a speed test of 18mb down and 5 up. Held it until I got on the interstate and it dropped after the Alcoa Hwy exit heading back to west knoxville. This was at 6pm Sunday.

I pass by that tower everyday. I see the Instituform drain pipe company doing work after midnight, fixing out wonderful sewers here.

It is like I am cursed, everytime I pass by a tower that is a work in progress, the next week they start broadcasting 4G.

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.
    • https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
