Shhh! Don't tell AT&T marketing. That's how they make the nation's strongest LTE signal!

They wrapped a small thin blue wire throughout the top rack.. Why would they do that? Also, they were here till 9 tonight, so I can't get a new picture of what they got done.

Well.. They have this Site fully wired and has electric running to it. They weren't here all week and they finally came today, first one guy in a random car(The electrician). Then the crew that is working at the new site(The with the guys feet dangling) came after him and is still here.

An active 4G yet?

I believe it could be. But doesn't extend out from the site, it seems to me the past week. That 3G is slowly expanding out slowly as a snail. But I'm starting to notice it now, my phone went nuts switching between 3G and 4G yesterday. But that's just what seems likes going on.

Close to the tower and I have full bars. NEVER have i EVER had full bars here or in the area. SO this just adds to 3G being live.

Before sensorly(Notice is shows a small amount of 2G):

After:

Notice a huge difference in areas. I walked through the area around the site and you can notice a difference. This area used to have 1 to 2 bars at max. Now, we're just waiting for 4G and b41/26 to become live!! patience is finally paying off lol!

Interesting thing about this tower, is that everyday at 12-5/6 these HUGE, HUGE birds just chill up at the top forever. They always fly around the area, it used to just be a couple of em. I believe it's a family, and a family that's getting bigger each year.s2yy1bP.jpg

I know it's far away, But I'll take pictures when I'm closer.

They might have a play on white Sprint didn't use the top rack(Was USCC)

Look what I found in the wild today!

I was on b41 across the street from the site:

Two of the closest sites don't have b41 antennas and are only b25/26. If it's not partially live, I'm wondering how b41 can reach this far from the site(when switched to b25, -db was 119). I also took a bike ride and noticed all down covington road, through downtown b41 is live everywhere. I'm seeing only a select few that don't have b41 antennas up yet. Major progression here in downtown Fort wayne since the last time I was down here.

The Sprint 8t8r sites has a range similar to band 25. I've experienced this phenomenon in my market also.

Wow.. 8t8r sure does pack some power! b41 extending 3.5 miles from the the broadcasting site is amazing since previously, b25 didn't even reach a mile/half. I'm looking forward to Sprint Spark here because service where 8t8r/b41 sites are live. Service is 400% better than before, Sprint will be on top by the end of the year here hopefully.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
