Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

I took Route 1/9 north then the GW. Then 87 south all around (avoiding the cross bronx xpressway) to the Whitestone Bridge.

Yep, drove right by my house...probably saw me staring at the Sprint site on 1/9 waiting for the crews to start work on it.

Got LTE around Jamaica hillside ave I was at 148-40 hillside ave . Someone should come map it

I briefly pick up 4g in flushing!!!

Northern blvd 155th street. Unstable speed and signal

Can you map it on Sensorly?

4g sighted again near aurbundale lirr station near flushing. Was moving inside the train so couldnt map it on sensorly. But it was there and I took some snap shots.

I also saw the 4G indicator on my Note 2 as well as my Tri-Fi Hotspot at lunch and took pics of it connecting. I ran sensorly and had it mapping for about an hour.

 

Its interesting to note that todays sightings by Andy pslee and myself were all over the map. I'm curious myselft to see what site was sending the signal out. Probably was a few sites being tested since the range is far from pslee and andy. (See image)

Also note, that the signal must have been coming from the north side of Queens Hospital (where I work), since everytime I went to the south side of my work area (on 8th floor), it reverted back to 3G. Walk across to the north side of the office and 4G again. Outside I was getting a good signal.

There's also LTE on the LIE by Utopia Blvd.

LTE on the LIE near Rego Park

Just mapped utopia Parkway from LIE to northern Blvd. I see you have already mapped the LIRR route. Where did you see the LTE in Rego Park? I live right around there.

I'd say several sites were either finally flipped on or in testing giving the range of the sightings. They have been 3G only for far too long in the NYC area, save for the Bronx. Good signs!

Use Sensorly.

Zoom in around Rego park center and you can see some purple on the LIE .

    • 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?
