I was at BWI airport this morning, rocking Extended 1X coverage all around the airport. Couldn't even send a text message to let someone know where I was. <_<:td:

 

Drive 1 mile from the airport, and you can download at 50Mbps :wacko:

 

BWI is a black hole for coverage. Sprint needs both a macro and DAS site there...

Yep, BWI airport has been an issue for many many years.  Baggage claim and even standing outside waiting for a pick-up can be an issue.  To be fair, it is a place that is shielded from the outside and it is very hard to penetrate. It is slightly better than it was a year ago, but it sure does need some type of attention.  I personally have had slightly better success at BWI than what you describe.   It would be interesting to walk beside you with my Galaxy S-5 and compare it to your I-phone 6 in BWI..

The best part about it...Sprint's coverage tool says "Spark Turbo" for all of BWI airport. I would have been happy just to have 3G.

I have not been in BWI for almost two months, so it is possible that the service is even better than I last experienced.

But, if it is better, then why is your experience so bad? The last time I was there, I did not see my phone on "roaming" or any "extended network".  Of course, I may not have caught it in that state.  Yes, the service was weak, but not quite as bad as you experienced.

Maybe somebody else can speak up if they have recently been through BWI.

Interesting, when I was picking a friend up from that airport in neverland right after Christmas didn't have any issues. I'll pull my log to see what I was pinging. There does seem to be a trend for poor service at local BAWA airports though. Hopefully, the upgraded tower at National will help improve things.

I might head out there this weekend then. Or I could head down the pennisula, there are still a few sites down there that aren't mapped out yet either...

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.
