Ok, now it looks like LTE is live in some areas of Crofton. Pulled this when I stepped outside the other day. Inside I get 4-6 mbps. I have been getting a consistent LTE signal since Friday so it must be a sign (I hope). ny8e3avu.jpg

I live in Bishopville and there is one tower with LTE near the intersection of 113 and Bishopville RD.  Unfortunately the coverages doesnt stretch quite to my house, the 3G is pretty good though.  One day I had one bar of LTE in my driveway but just for a minute or two lol

Just got the fastest LTE speeds sitting inside. I was at work and surprisingly the LTE is good.Posted Image

 

EDIT: Should say this Speed test was taken in Gambrills.

Still waiting on LTE around Linthicum Heights. Stuck on 3G all day and it's been months. The other towers near the airport are generally upgraded and shown to broadcast 4G except the two nearest to where I work.

The deployment in both Baltimore and DC markets has come to a crawl. All the sites with easy to get backhaul are done. It is going to be a slog getting backhaul to the remaining BAWA sites. LTE will go live one at a time on all the remaining sites as each gets high speed backhaul that can support LTE.

I was just in Ocean City and Berlin on Assateague Island. The service was not usable. On July 4th the place was packed and you could not make a call for anything. There was a huge capacity issues on voice and data. I figured after the weekend the service would get better. It did not, most of the time I had no service and sometimes if I was lucky I would get a roaming signal. I called Sprint on Monday the 8th and they informed me that several towers were having issues and estimated that it would be fixed on the 15th. I go to Ocean City several times a year and this had to be the most dissappointing service I have ever had with Sprint. Hopefully this outage was because of an upgrade being done. I am going back at the end of August and again in September so maybe we will see some LTE online.

Agh we need some deployment here! Haven't seen any new LTE in ages.

DC, however is looking nice. I saw a tower crew in Pentagon City yesterday. I'm not sure if it was sprint though.

A couple of new towers broadcasting 4G on the Eastern Shore. I have done some mapping of them on Sensorly. No screen shots but averaging 24+ Mbps down and about 8 up. I think we may see another one or two in the vicinity of the US-50/301 split here soon.

I mapped the recently accepted tower in Cambridge, MD this weekend. Speeds where good 19.52 down and 4.37 up for the first test, 7.66 down and 2.53 up on the second. I also tried to map the other recently accepted tower north of Salisbury and west of Delmar. I plan on uploading some pictures and screenshots along with some other observations (in the DE market) on the sponsors thread either later today or tomorrow.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
