I thought these band-aid fixes were NV?

Now I noticed Jax, FL is getting NV/LTE rollout at the same time. I thought the entire time they were doing "minor upgrades" in my area that it was network vision. Am I wrong? And if I'm pulling 2.6Mbps DL at my house, is it possible that when they put the new towers in that my speeds might go down if they tilt the panels a different angle?

There is not likely to be much difference in downtilt on a NV site than a legacy site. The only differences in downtilt we have discussed really have been related to LTE.

 

Even if they do modify the downtilt, it likely would not have much effect on you. EVDO is not really signal strength dependent. With 3G EVDO performance drops very little from -65dBm to -102dBm. But then falls off a cliff after -102dBm. If you are getting consistent 2.6Mbps DL now, you likely will after NV too.

I really do love my sprint gs3.

And thanks Rob for the confirmation.

Dang i would've thought you'd get maybe a little bit lower pings with such high download and upload speeds but where you in downtown or in Orange Park, Fleming, Beach, or any other suburbs around Jacksonville going there monday and would like to know how good 3G performance is.

Pings and speeds don't go hand in hand. It all depends on the backhaul.

Well with Backhual that gets speeds like that id assume that pings would be lower but I guess not. Like I saw a video in NYC that got good speeds and 80ms pings

I honestly haven't seen a faster speed ever. (Even from other people.) On my GS2, I maxed at about 2.2mbps. The GS3 shows much stronger signal (probably PRL related, aswel.)

 

But the stars are the towers in my area and the circle is my house. :P

 

The Sprint tower to the southeast of my house is the one that's getting LTE first. I'm really hoping I'm inside range. :P

 

EDIT: reason behind me making this thread is because if I go down the street (literally, about a football field), my speeds are .5 mbps. LOL I'm fortunate that my house is really good, I was just curious if the towers would be adjusted in any way that may hinder my house performance.

Is it because it using Microwave instead of Fiber for the backhual? Edited by Steven800

      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.
