Yeah I'm hoping the Lancaster Ave one is included.  I'm 99.9% sure you're right about it already having backhaul, as I'm 99.9% sure I saw them do it when I was walking by.  They wouldn't answer my question of who they were working for, so who knows?

It definitely had fiber run to it, though I would be assuming that where they ran it from was connected in the first place. Seemed like there was a junction box there and then they only had to run it about 20-30 feet to the gate where the cabinets are. I haven't been by it recently to see if new cabinets are there or if it has ethernet yet.

Is the one on Taylor Rd in Gahanna part of the 30 LTE sites? Also curious about the one on Lancaster Ave in Reynoldsburg. Both outside the outerbelt. The latter has backhaul there, I believe. The former has been having a lot of utility work around it, and I'm thinking it at least has backhaul to the street available. Not sure if they've run yet to the tower.

I see the Lanacaster ave site going live soon with 3g soon but not Taylor rd.

I have pretty far reaching info on NV. PM me any specifics i'd like to keep this mostly Columbus in here.

Can you advise if there is anything for the following 3 towers:

2467 Jackson Pike, Columbus

3756 Hoover Road, Grove City

3778-3914 Highway 104, Grove City

That is surprising to me, but I'll take it. Surprising as it's one of the ones that has antennas on top of a high voltage utility tower. I figured it would be a lower priority due to that.

Ok, got lte tonight on my phone...

 

Flashed an Aosp rom and lte came up on my phone near Morse without even toggling airplane mode.

 

Could htc sense be the culprit and not the htc EVO lte radio?

 

The reason I say this is bc I couldn't get lte with my sense rom and lte turns it's self on with my Aosp rom, any thoughts?

I wouldn't be surprised if some 3G upgrades in Reynoldsburg have already taken place. I streamed Google Music a little bit ago across several towers in town where it previously buffered horribly. No buffering, instant load. Was nice.

I've been pulling 1-2MB down near 70 n Brice Rd where I normally pulled an abysmal .1-.3, the 3G has been improving

I'm hoping that LTE goes a little further north on 270 that way I'll have faster speeds at work.

That would be a bunch of stock customers with no LTE.

Yeah canal and Pickerington are speeding up, now I just need some 800 for good voice in groveport

Could this be caused by a large population of users not being in Pickerington and Canal Winchester because of the downtown festivities? I live behind Meijer and that cell, the one on old Brice north of Winchester Pike, the one at Bowen and Long Road, the one on the water tower near Milnor Road and Center Street, the one on Hamilton Road at Reinbow and the one at South Hamilton at Williams Road have no physical improvements performed to them other than EHRPD. I'm constantly watching them for improvements and see nothing. The only thing I've seen performed on towers in those areas is on towers with AT&T/TMO which have a single antenna panel addition with a single RRU type box; those showed up about the same time TMO turned on LTE, my son has TMO so this is how I know this fact. Unless Sprint is deploying different equipment than they have in other markets with NV rollout? There's a picture someone posted of the site behind Atlas Construction at I270 N at North Hamilton Rd, that's what I've seen go all over southeast Franklin County and someone has pointed out that it's not Sprint. Maybe Thenight84 could confirm this?

 

I'm going to speculate that Sprint had this sudden urge to get Columbus market rigged because again I'm speculating that they've lost a crapload of business customers from this market because of the Motorola/Samsung problem. The 15th largest city in the USA in the 4th round of NV rollouts with a bleeding out customer base since February, two words: damage control. Everybody I talk to is fed up with how bad things have gotten. It's sad when an event like Red White & Boom goes on and you have subscribers with no service. I was miles from downtown and I had the hashed circle most of the night. No cell, no data, worthless.

 

I'll get off my soapbox. Hard to not get ticked off when I pay $220 a month for something that I can't use.

You're in a poor service area I'm on the side of town by gender and refugee. I think we use a tower off hill rd south from refugee and in canal I'm closer to Brice rd area

Easy there. It's getting better around the city and it's going to get better in Pickerington too. 800 is probably going to help substantially there where towers seem to be spaced too far apart.

All slated for 3G real soon. If you see equipment on them then they are most likely to be signed off on sooner.

I was in Whitehall last enjoying the start of the fireworks...no service at all. Data or voice. Was starting to think I was suppose to say H-I-O to unlock my service. The o was on the whole time of the event

LTE is spreading according to Sensorly. Just like a crack in the windshield,eventually it will spread to all areas then BOOM!!! Today lets celebrate our independence and Thank those who are fighting for our freedom to complain about the things we don't like!!! God Bless America

Awesome!! Does that mean 800 SMR as well or better yet, any chance Johnstown is in the area of one of the 30 LTE towers mentioned? Thanks :tu:

there are a couple clusters for Johnstown and its showing one with 1900. Always subject to change tho.

All three currently have the new base stations and panels up. I don't think they have the back haul ran for the fiber. Are these just set for 3g or are they going to get LTE soon? I can get you pictures if that would help you determine where they may be in the process.

New to the engineering screen. But comparing the IMSI, which I thought might be unique per phone is different than the other eng screenshots I've seen. Is this a new sight different than the one everyone's been doing tribal dances around?Screenshot_2013-07-04-13-17-25.png

    • 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?
