Network Vision/LTE - South Carolina Market (Columbia/Greenville/Spartanburg)

[ghostkilla1388]

I have general data problems, I dont roam but I'll have zero to 2 bars and slow 3g. I couldn't even do two up dates because it couldn't connect to download them. Hopefully that will change in the "coming months" as sprint always says then half a year later they will do something.

I am suddenly roaming at work again in Greenville by 385/ Butler Rd. Then after lunch I had no signal at all... I'll hope it's a sign of work they're doing, but history tells me it's the new normal for the immediate future.

Oh man! Look at Sensorly in the SC market! Just about all of I-77 from Charlotte to Columbia is now LTE (wasn't just this past Saturday when I went to Georgia from Charlotte on I-77), and most of I-26 all the way to I-95, and even down I-95 towards Savannah as well. That is impressive!

There is definitely some bogus or testing data on I-77 before after forest Dr. and Blythewood. Those towers are definitely not broadcasting LTE at this time.

I was looking at Sensorly and am wondering the same thing. All that LTE popped up overnight. Could they be testing 800Lte on a upcoming phone that has Sensorly on it? Even the Note 2 with its awesome rf specs cant hold a LTE signal that far.

The Tower in North Blythewood is definitely broadcasting LTE. As for forest drive... Down near Ft Jackson gate i get strong 4g.

.06 Download and .03 upload so far today.Hope it gets faster but don't it.

Finally some 4G on Woodruff Road! Had it over by Moe's / Starbucks / Walmart. Pulled down 13Mbps, not bad. Looks like there's still a hole in coverage just big enough to cover work and home... go figure lol.

[ghostkilla1388]

Well got 4g some today only about 2 Mbps down and 1 mbps up, better than 3g but still waiting for them to say they turned 4g on for us.

I was one ehprd last night( around and past midnight) and couldn't get any data even though it showed 3g, I'd load Facebook error no connection same with chrome browser. When I switched the CDMA only mode to run evdo rev a it was faster than ehprd.... Switched back this morning and it works now. Tired of this network.

tower in Columbia SC by the Lake Murray Dam Definitely does not have 4g yet... it is showing yellow on the map.. Where are you getting the information from? Also, there are a bunch of sites missing in the core of Columbia SC. Are they ever going to be on this map?

I've asked this before and have gotten mixed answers...

 

Sometimes if a tower is marked 4G accepted doesn't necessarily mean 4G is live.

 

Just what I've been told.

 

I've also wondered about the lack of towers in the downtown area.

A new tower must of turned on near Broad River and Kennerly near Columbia. I mapped this out while on an errand today. There was nothing here a day ago. I've got it at home right now.

You may be "hill topping" from the site behind CeCe's Pizza on St Andrews.  ATC Leisure.

I've never picked up 4G this far down broad river until today, and it's been steady all day, we'll see what happens over the next few days.

Cool if its true!  I'm heading to Irmo in a bit from Down Town. I'll check too.

Its True... Kinley Rd site is on air 4G and the one by the Dam is now 4G. Also spotted tower crews at the site by Wally World on Bush river.

 Do you have a method of identifying which tower you're receiving 4G from?

I'm assuming this is the one over by the Chili's?

The one by Chilis on Harbison is NOT doing 4G yet.  Kinley rd is by the new hospital. It connects Lake Murray Blvd with Broad River. I use signal Check Pro and you can tell by the RSSi from the LTE.  Its usually about 15db less than the 1X and EHRPD if they are coming from the same antenna. 

[ghostkilla1388]

Any one else in the Berea area have up and down signal, bars at least, within the past day or so. I went from one bar to full for about 30 minutes then back to one bar, I've noticed this a few times. All with the phone with in the same spot and not moving much.

[JONBOY345]

Getting bits and pieces of LTE at the Midlands Tech Airport campus. Once I connect to WiFi it seem my phone can't find the LTE signal again even after multiple toggles of mobile data and Airplane mode.

Interesting... Sprint must be almost ready to turn on another tower here in Anderson... I was at the intersection of 28 Bypass and Whitehall and LTE popped up on my phone... It lasted until I got halfway between there and where HHGregg is on 28... Interesting...

[idenfreak]

Look like LTE is up in and around the Graystone Blvd area of Columbia... Not that you would know it from S4GRU as #1 The site isn't even on their map and #2 The map is 3 days old. smh
