They need small cells there big time only 2 sites out 4 have band 41. No progress over 1.5 years.

They should have equipment down on the watertower on the southern end of town. Im from gettysburg pa in shentels network. They added at least 7 new cell sites this year in my county alone. Some of the areas only have coverage from sprint now.

After a couple of a drives through various urban and suburban areas of Baltimore I think I am about ready to come to three conclusions.

 

1. Mobilitie was a bad choice as vendor.

2. Verizon's small cell deployment in Baltimore is impressive (although they don't yet appear to be done).

3. AT&T & T-Mobile don't seem to be doing anything around here with small cells.

Not to the Harbor specifically. I concentrated my last trip around Little Italy and Fells Point and then some of the neighborhoods to the east and north of there.

Mind elaborating why you think Mobilitie was a bad choice as vendor?

At this time it is mostly a gut feeling. Other than a few sites in the LA area, there doesn't seem to be much movement anywhere else from them either. There was apparently one site here in Baltimore that they where fined for installing without a permit (and I believe had to remove) a while back, but beyond that nothing that I have been able to come across that suggest they are making any progress. That said I want to be positive about them but it would help to see some indication that progress is being made.

I guess the results speak louder than words. It's almost Christmas of 2016 and there is still no meaningful small cell deployment across the country. I'm not sure if it's entirely Mobilitie's fault (though their shady way of conducting themselves couldn't have helped), but Sprint's plan of erecting 120ft and 72ft poles in open public areas in an age when municipalities are trying to eradicate poles from streetscapes reeks of a detachment from reality. I can't wait to see which counties let these poles happen.

But didn't someone above suggest that there should be 13 small cells in Baltimore deployed? Are you not seeing/hearing them?

I haven't seem them. They may very well be out there though as I can't necessarily look everywhere. I also haven't had the time to comb through my SCP logs either.

Looks like there're many tough battles to fight before the small cells can be built. The Mobilitie guy in this townhall meeting looks inept and shady.

It's working fine. The forum converts it to a YouTube embed that doesn't show up on Tapatalk.

I watched the first hour and then gave up.  The irritating rudeness and general lack of knowledge of the people in the room was staggering, but also not surprising.

 

I actually thought the Mobilitie guy and the others on the panel (particularly the government officials) were doing a good job, at least until I stopped watching.

How was the Mobilitie guy inept? I think everyone in that meeting was ultra misinformed. Its what happens when you let the last generation of folks make decisions for the next generation.

 

That was utterly painful to watch, none of those folks there offered any sort of constructive ideas on handling any of this, just push-back.

 

Its all fun and games until billy boy neighbor starts streaming 4k cat videos and brings that one macro site to its knees.

I couldn't agree more, It was like watching a train wreck and I could not stop myself from watching it all go down.

      Anyone else here use Verizon FiOS?

      By Trip · Posted

      (Sorry I never answered your last e-mail.  It's going to be time-consuming, so I've been dragging my feet.) I'm on FiOS and my service has been okay.  A few weeks ago, I was having an odd issue where certain websites were very slow to load, and it persisted until I rebooted the router.  Not entirely sure what was going on there.  But otherwise, no issues.  What happens if you ping or traceroute during these outages? - Trip

      After seeing gr8nuguy's S23 post for one, checked and found a 72MB Google Play System security update on S24+ unlocked.    Still a June 1st date however.

      If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
