Network Vision/LTE - Columbus Market

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

We need to see the LTE Engineering screen. Everything else is pointless unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I didn't even know to pull it up even as I was riding and my phone dinged that an LTE signal was discovered.. Figured someone can remember to do it if they drive by, just thought I'd give a heads up  :)

It's likely the only site active on Morse. Someone reported signal from it on 23 & Lazzelle. It has a solid range.

What determines the actual site location like the BSSID on 3G cells?

Picked up 800 again on sr 37 outside of Granville going southbound... Around the railroad tracks at Union Station.

 

I also get lte now with my EVO and did a little mapping, lte pops up for me without toggling airplane mode, so I'm happy about that.

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.

 

i won't disagree.  It's always annoying that Columbus is so frequently ignored, when it is in reality quite significant.  

 

Why, as you said, the 15th largest city is the afterthought of an after thought, being on the tailend of such a project is beyond annoying.   I still like Sprint, I just don't like that kind of garbage.  I know a lot of people who have said they are leaving sprint when their contract is up for exactly the reasons you mentioned.  For sprint's sake, let's hope they get NV in soon enough to hold onto their customers.

 

 I suspect the second they start seeing 4g pop up on their phones, many of them will be content at that point.  I will be curious to see where the next lte towers kick off.  I want to look on sensorly and see a growing purple sploch.

My screen shots of 800 SMR in my area... I'm guessing backhaul still isn't connected, excited to see the difference once complete.

Definitely have way better 3g speeds on the Pickerington/Reynoldsburg tower near Lancaster. Seeing almost 2mbps download speeds.

What tower/area would that be? Isn't Lancaster south of pick town? Or Lancaster Rd?

Folks please help the market out. Pull up your LTE Engineering screen when you get a LTE signal and screenshot. I learned the hard way but Digiblur got me together. If you're not sure how to get to your LTE Engineering screen, please check out his instructions for your specific type of phone. Thanks in advance.

I hope these help. If not, I guess tough apples. In new to this helping and so forgive me if this info is either redundant or useless.

 

These just seemed like pretty far reach for our lone tower. (If indeed it is the same tower)

 

I'd also like to add that up to this point I had nothing as far as LTE goes out here.

That serving ID is crazy looking, but appears to be new. Anyone free to try and find the tower broadcasting this signal and find the other two sectors?

How would I go about finding it?

Those last two LTE engineering screenshots should be disregarded.  The data appears offset by one line, and even then, some of it is not valid.  It could be yet another problem for the poorly performing Galaxy Nexus.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
