No, Robert you are wrong.  Hesse got fired because he failed to establish good service in Rapid City.

[shannonbrian]

Well his replacement has step up.

Better late than never!

[cdk]

At least those sites(in Ocean City) should be well overloaded at this time of the year with the crowds. It should bump them up the list for B41 deployment.

[shannonbrian]

I think band 41 is roof top md / de line

I decided to speedtest my drive home from work recently. No, I was not driving
 
No other data usage on the phone was going on...every test was LTE, if 3G was active, I would cycle airplane mode and wait for LTE to show up again. Mostly all reasons to be happy...this was MD-295 all the way to Harford County up I-95. There a few REALLY slow LTE tests, that area was just south of the Fort McHenry tunnel. Not sure if tower work or what, but I don't typically notice issues there.

Thats pretty cool. I was just up in Bel Air and with T Mobile I was getting 10-25 Mbps down and 15-20 up. T mobile is terrible once you get north of bel air towards the PA state line. 

[Jaramie3]

Another ocean city site live on coastal hwy..

Where at on Coastal?

I live in Bel Air. Sprint has great coverage in Bel Air for the most part...it is a former WiMAX market. I have a T-Mobile test drive device right now, it seems to stick to LTE all over Bel Air, I've dropped to HSPA+ inside building, but it still is pushing 20Mbps, which is better than Sprint's 800LTE. But you are right, north of Bel Air in the more rural areas....T-Mobile is rocking Edge.

Havede grace has band 41 couple on 95

I was in Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore this weekend and I have never experienced such horrid service from Sprint. Even with 1 or 2 bars, I had blocked calls about 90% of the time. When calls connected, the audio quality was so poor it wasn't worth staying on the phone. I couldn't receive or send texts and data wasn't even present. Had to pray that I would roam on Verizon (?) to even get any voice or data service. Such a disappointment, especially since Sprint has upgraded the area towers.

If you are referring to Cape Charles, VA, that is in Sprint's Norfolk market, and you already posted in that thread.  It is not necessary to post this twice in two market threads -- unless your network experience crossed Sprint market boundaries.

 

Additionally, signal bars are a simple but poor indicator.  You have an iPhone, so you are largely stuck with the signal bars, unfortunately.  If you had an Android handset and were running SignalCheck Pro, then we could have gotten some screenshots and attempted some diagnostics.

 

No matter.  What is done is done.  I am not familiar with the network in the area, but that level of service -- the audio quality, the blocked calls -- sounds like a device problem or a network outage.  Maybe the network in the area was overrun with visitors this past weekend -- that is also a possibility.  But the sites in the area have been upgraded, so it is unlikely that what you experienced is standard network performance.

 

Others who frequent the southern extremity of the Delmarva Peninsula can chime in.  On that count, though, staff may need to move any further discussion back to where it belongs.

I was informed that the Eastern Shore market was in this thread so that is why I reposted here.

[cdk]

Another site is live in Ocean City. Maybe I'll head down there this weekend to see how well the network is doing there.

[shannonbrian]

The one that was live last time. Just overload to max .

Whoever informed you was wrong.  Cape Charles, VA is in the Norfolk market.  See the map:

Baltimore's Root Metrics report for 1H 2015 is "Coming Soon"...usually they are posted within a day or two of that.
