Yeah she lives off state park rd, i was at the Chick Fil A at Cherrydale after work today for a spicy chicken sandwich(licks lips) and got a little over 1.0 mbps down and .8 up. I went to Hamricks off Whitehorse rd and got almost 2 down and 1.5 up but i was literally 300ft from the tower haha. I looked in my settings last night while at supper and my network type was eHRPD:13 and done a quick search while waiting for my food and some said that it means the tower that my phone is communicating with has been upgraded to lte? Is that true or just talk? Either way im hoping its not long until we see upgraded NV 3g and later 4g lte.

 

I pressed LIKE for your post just because you mentioned a Chickfila Spicy Chicken sandwich. A personal fave of mine. What were we talking about again???

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

About the network lol, i love the spicy after i ate it the regular does not taste the same now. But anyway I seen the eHRPD: 13, what dose that mean as far as signal stuff? I done a quick search while at Fatz waiting for food and seen some results saying that the tower my phone is connected to has been upgraded to the new stuff and just dosent have lte turned on yet. True or not true, thanks.

 

P.S.

Sends a Chick Fil A Spicy Sandwich to Robert for lunch. :)

Anyone who spends any time at S4GRU knows I have a chicken problem. Especially a fried chicken problem. That might be why I'm closing in on 300 lbs. But I blame the steroids...

The steroids you're shooting in your ass or the steroids in the chicken?

Ummmmm...

 

The steroids are taken orally for severe allergies. However, I like the mental imagery you present. My ass! :rofl:

I had steroid of the anabolic sort taken in large doses as a short cut to building muscle in my mind as to what you were referring to.

 

Although, it would SUCK to have allergies so severe you had to take steroids.

Yeah, it sucks, but It is much better than drowning on snot, I've found. ;)

 

Having a severe juniper allergy and living in New Mexico is not a good combination.

As I sit by the pool, kicked back in my lounge chair.....watching the waves on the surface of the water in the deep end flicker from the dim glow of the pool lights under the water. I look up above the tree tops to the Sprint tower that reflects on the surface of the water, and say to myself...man, this would be a perfect setting if..if my 3G wasn't so slow that my Pandora won't even stream out here!! Shaking my head....useless iPhone..... Frustrated tonight! Hope Charleston gets some LTE love soon!!

Based on reports, we banned the recent ranter. It was a blatant posting violation and not even accurate. It almost seemed like he was selling another service. His posts have been removed and he has been reported to IP Board as a potential spammer.

 

Everyone is free to use whatever service they want. We advocate people getting what is best for them. But posting still has to be within our posting guidelines. This guy obviously didn't know there is already one LTE site accepted in SC. Sheesh.

iPhones are useless in general - LTE wouldn't fix that. Hahaha.

They have three Chickfilas in Albuquerque. So I frequent them when in ABQ. I will definitely keep my eyes open for Bojangles when in the road. Thanks for the tip!

There Chicken Biscuits are awesome, spicy yet good(i tried grape jelly on one and its not too bad try it) plus a Large sweet tea :) and their seasoned fries are good..... I think we turned this thread about SC market into a thread about who has good chicken haha but its worth it :)

Anything new happening in SC? Has that one approved tower in Columbia broadcasted LTE yet? Or anything anywhere else in the state?

I heard a rumor that upstate SC could be getting LTE by the end of this month. Taking it with a grain of salt. Any truth to the rumor or are we looking at more of a mid or late summer rollout?

The accepted LTE site in Columbia (I-26/I-77) is ready hardware wise, but it hasn't been "switched" on for LTE at the Columbia MSC. Waiting for both this site, and the Darlington one to be "switched' on.

Hope this is true for you guys! :-) seems we still have a ways to go down here in the Lowcountry. Haven't seen an NV equipment up or going up on the towers near me. Looking at the completed towers on the map they are all 3G. Do y'all have any NV panels up in the upstate? If y'all launch next month hope we aren't far behind in at least getting some 4G "in progress" sites down here.

And I figured Darlington would be one of the early ones in the state to go 4G, there is a racetrack there...lol can't have Sprint sponsoring the Races with no 4G lol

Well, the Bojangles Southern 500 was last weekend and there was no LTE in Darlington. They did have a COW there however, and speeds were pretty good during the race. (0.80-1.5 Mbps up)

I missed going to that race because of work :/ but i hope the rumors of 4G LTE by the end of this month is true but like Darkenv2 said im going to take it with a , good sized, grain of salt.

 

Where are these rumors originating? Locally or online somewhere?

      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 their 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.
