^^^^ Look at those speeds and low ping nice.

 

Question Are you guys in Atlanta seeing a expansion of CA to other towers?

Definitely seeing expansion. It first started out only as u enter the city and in the actual city. The sign that it's moving to the suburb I'm living in that didn't have it a couple days ago is a good sign. I'm gonna check other suburbs as i get to them and post my results accordingly

I really wish I had a CA capable phone. I am holding off, however,for the only phone I will even consider - the 2015 Nexus 5. Though many have praised the HTC One M8 I can tell you that I absolutely do not like this phone nor any non Nexus (or GPE variant) phone. Oh, how sweet CA will be!

Gotta keep those plasma injectors in proper alignment.

 

No, I believe you are referring to engaging the thrusters.

This thread has been rather silent lately, but I though I's see if anyone is still watching:

 

I am working a trade show in the Georgia World Congress Center in late February, and wondered if anyone could comment on Sprint coverage in Hall B.  Specifically, is LTE likely to be strong enough inside Hall B to drive a hot spot at reasonable speed?  On the Sponsor map, I see 3 sites somewhat close, and the Ultimate Coverage Map shows that Sprint claims perfect coverage, but I can't really tell much from that.

 

Thanks in advance.

Check sensorly. Sometimes they can give a good representation of signal. Not speed though

Thanks, but . . .

 

Sensorly data for that area is mostly empty, although it suggests speeds might be OK.  I was hoping to hear from someone who recently has actually been in or near the building.

This thread been silent mainly because sprint's lte service in atlanta has been pretty damn amazing to be honest.  For the first time ever, I literally don't have a single thing to complain about.

I live on the southside(clayton county) and frequent midtown pretty often since my wife has this thing for ikea. Speeds are pretty good to insanely awesome where ever I go. Even on the rare occasion when I am on band 25, I seem to still average 15 to 20 down. Honestly its been great, now all I need is google fiber so I can get rid of comcast and all will be good.

Gotcha. I've never been to Clayton county. Downtown though the speeds are pretty good outside. Do you go inside places often. Inside is where I have problems. Every mall I go into has either 3g or weak band 26. I always drop to 3g at the hawks stadium too. And lastly Atlantic station is stuck on slow clearwire. I can't complain about Atlantic station though cuz tmobile is sub 2mbps which is on par with Sprint. Let me know ur experience indoors cuz I have great outdoor experience but sub par inside experience

No real complaints, most of the times when I am indoors both my devices will switch to band 26 with little to no effort at all while still maintaining pretty good speeds.  My m9 loves band 41 so it will hold on to that as long as possible before switching to band 26 but indoors/outdoors, everything has been great.  The only time I am on 3g is when I am on the plane train at the airport(I travel a lot) but other than that, service has been great.

Whoa! Absolutely incorrect. I have worked in Atlantic Station for 5 years and am, literally on band 41 almost all the time, and have been for over a year. Even more, i am nearly always on band 41 2nd carrier (2x CA) wherever I go in Atlanta and ESPECIALLY in Atlantic Station. Is something wrong with your phone? I pretty much never, ever fall to 3G.

I am in Meehan's at Atlantic Station right now, in fact and this is my speed. Granted i am deep inside the building, in the restroom, which is why i dropped to band 26. But if this is as "bad" as it gets, then we here in the A are in phenomenal shape!

 

Edit: photo would not load. Said file was "too large." But download speed was 4.75 mbps.

I am usually on band 41 (clearwire) outside but whenever I go into a store it usually dropped to 3g. I don't think it's a problem with my phone because the other 3 people in my family have the same problem. I've been there during busy and not busy times and the speed was constantly below 2mbps on band 41. I went into the AT&T store there and ran a speed test and they had speeds of 60+. There was a tower right behind the store but maybe Sprint ought jump on it.

Sprint does have a tower directly across from the development on 16th street adjacent to the fire station. One sector points directly at Atlantic Station, which is why their service is so awesome here. Several of my coworkers have Sprint triband phones as well and report nothing but fantastic service in this area. Even 2 floors down in the massive parking structure that Atlantic Station sits atop, i am consistently on LTE (band 26, of course). So i am just having a great deal of difficulty wrapping my head around your negative experience in this immediate area. Bizarre.

Someone posting from a T-Mobile variant LG V10 is not using Sprint at the time.  That alone is suspicious.

      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.
