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 confirmed GMO band 25 LTE on a site in Myrtle market last night. Finally.

Spotted an Ericsson Truck this morning. Missed the access road to a tower so he pulled a U-ey to get to the tower on 378 near the intersection of Botanical Parkway and 378 in West Columbia. Good signs for my immediate area!

Closest to that area I know of is out Emanuel Church Rd and also near the intersection of I77 and I26.

I actually live near Emanual Church Road. I have seen my 4G come on and go off and return to 3G and at time, I have virutally no service at all. I sure hope this is an indication that we are about to get the switch flipped. That would be terrific.

Anyone have anything for Anderson? I've still got a wimax phone so I can't check for myself. I may check sensorly in a bit, but it's 6am and I'm too tired to look.

The tower off of exit 14 (Pendleton) was lit up over the weekend... Which I believe brings LTE to Tri-County Tech... But... Still nothing in Anderson... Supposedly they are lighting the two towers up Friday that they have been working on... We'll see...

At least that's progress. I appreciate the info.

The Greer area is starting to light up as well!

Do you know if anyone has been able to connect to the tower on 29 between Greer and Duncan? I was over there the other day and I couldn't get any LTE then all of sudden I got it for a split second then it was gone. I know this was one of the first towers to turn on here in the upstate but I haven't had much luck with it. I've been connecting to the one on 29 near Wellford every morning.

As of 10:00 this morning, the tower in Mauldin (29662) near the intersection of Butler Road and 276 has LTE live. I tested using my Kyocera Torque with both the Speedtest.net app and testmy.net . Both read about 17 down, 10 up. I don't use Sensorly but someone could drive through if they were so inclined.

Hey does anyone know if the tower is Berea near White Horse Rd is working? I'm going to be working about 1 mile from there on Saturday and was wondering if I'll be getting any LTE coverage.

I have been getting some weak and slow 4g at Dave's restaurant Around maybe 2 Mbps down and half that up was last I got it don't know what tower though, I know cherrydale has 4g but don't know how far it reaches.

I saw the LTE signal pop up when driving down I-26 passing Piney Grove and St. Andrews in Columbia.  Good to see the progress...hoping they get some LTE on the NE side of Columbia.  My phone switches between 2G and 3G when I'm at work in Blythewood a lot on cloudy/rainy days.

I mapped out a good bit of the Mauldin area this afternoon. That site is particularly strong. -53 dbm LTE signal strength about .2 of a mile away. That's the highest I've ever seen it go thus far.

The tower by hamricks is 4g LTE but not up 100% imo I got 14 down amd 5 up sitting next to it in parking lot also its reach is not that good I don't get it a t home which sucks I use my phone for 90% of my internet use and it's barely usable to say the least.

      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.
