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.

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.

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.

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! :)

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
