I wonder if this will have any effect on coverage around Williams Brice stadium during the football games.

 

I hope so. I hate not having any signal at all at games. Really want to check other scores.

The complaints in this thread need to stop. They violate posting rules, as S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.   Several of you should consider becoming sponsors, thus having access to our Netwo

I know it's still a little early but was curious of I'd there was any news to the Upstate (Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, etc) areas of LTE. We managed to get 4G wimax ina smaller town Greer inside of Greenville but never made it out side of that.

 

Any thoughts?

The South Carolina market will not begin deployment until some time in 2013.

Thanks for the quick response! Was just curious because I found out that we had wimax here and never knew. It doesn't show up on sprints website but did clear wires. So figured we weren't gonna be one of the last lol

The WiMax sites in the GSP area are Protection Sites. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6-what-are-protection-sites/

Columbia has been awful with 3G speeds up until the last month or so. Seems as if the band aid fixes will make the wait a bit easier until NV gets here. I've been consistently getting speeds in the 1-2 Mbps range for downloads, and around 1 Mbps uploads. Was getting 0.01-0.10 Mbps DL a lot before. I'll probably be moved to Charlotte, NC (next May) well before Sprint starts in Cola Town.

 

Here is a Speedtest done just a few minutes ago...

I travel up there frequently so I feel your pain. Sprint is the epitome of awful in that area (one of the few areas I can say I've been dissatisfied with Sprint in). Last time I was there my phone was completely unusable around downtown, USC, and the surrounding areas. Glad to hear they have improved a little since then though! It's going to be a long process, but I'm excited for what's to come with Sprint.

Lol every time I look at it makes me hopeful' date=' but in the mean time just sit back and wait... As the eager thoughts of evil red and their lte network. I am trying to hold out I really am :-\[/quote']

 

Keep hanging on. When I was up in Washington state over the weekend and the pre-NV speeds were up over 1 Mbps it makes me hopeful for what is to come, and I'm not in the 1st 2 rounds of Network Vision.

I was on the Sprint campus a few months back, and as I was landing at the airport nearby, I realized I wasn't in NY anymore. Cows surrounding the airport, and everything was flat and featureless.

Man, if you think KC is flat and featureless, you'll flip if you ever make it west of Salina.

Just happened to check today, and found that my phone is now connected to eHRPD here in Columbia, SC! I recall seeing posts before about eHRPD just being a software update, but hopefully this means something for the SC market.

Noticed they upgraded most of the towers adding carriers and T1/Fiber runs and have cut out a lot of further updates. Speed has increased most everywhere I've seen, from 150 to 300kbps, and 300 to 600kbps, etc. If the earlier report was right about fiber coming downtown I'm sure that was a big part of it. Latency to Spirit (downtown Columbia) is still horrible, even when 2 miles away. Much faster communicating with Greensboro, NC test server. Hope this gets nailed down as it seems to be a terrible routing setup.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
