Network Vision/LTE - Columbus Market

Looks like someone with a Galaxy Nexus is polluting the map near I-71 and Dublin Granville Rd. Dragging the dark purple where it doesn't belong.

Wasn't me either! I've learned my lesson.

My phone keeps switching back and forth between evdo and ehrpd in the Lincoln village area.

You may be in a area between two cell sites. One may be being worked on or there could be an issue with the one.

Sweet, In my area ( east Columbus between Reynoldsburg and Blacklick ) I drop calls a lot in the last few months and data is usually pretty bad.

 

haven't been following whats going on in your area.. What updates did they do ? Is the speedtest more consistent?

NV stuff. Appears to be consistent.

I've never gotten nearly 2 Mb/s down on 3g with Sprint, but for you it looks good.. I take it your area is pretty much ready for 4G awaiting backhaul

Coz,  where in Columbus ? is this 'Columbus' out outer areas?  Does this mean these are accepted and could be turned on anytime ?  I didn't see any new "aqua blue" markers notating 800..

Looking at the maps, our lte sites are LTE only, no NV 3g or 800 yet, am I looking at that correct?

Correct.

Yes, you are correct.

Where are you getting these speeds?  Do you know what tower you connect to?

 

Thanks.

No idea how to get the tower info. I'm using an iPhone 5. I'm up at rt 3 and Maxtown north side of westerville.

You can type *3001#12345#* and hit CALL ... it'll bring up some options and also replace your bars ( at top left ) with an actual signal strength number.. it'll show a lot of stuff.. you can exit out of screen usually by hitting the HOME button..

 

 

Sometimes to exit out you may have to power down.. then on power up everything will be normal except the bars will still have a signal number... To return to the default bars dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call..

Cool. So what on here do you need to determine the tower?

Select the “Cell Information” menu option to display a summary of all nearby towers. The “RX” code displays the signal strength of each tower. These RX values are dBm signal strength readings, where lower values means strong signal (so -60 signifies stronger signal than -80). The towers are listed by signal strength, and the top tower is usually the tower your phone is connecting to.

 

Selecting the first tower will take you to a further menu that displays more specific information. The “Freq” value shows the frequency block that the network is using. I.E if  the Freq number is between 128 and 251, the tower is using the 850 MHz Cellular band. If the Freq number is between 512 and 810, the tower is using the 1900MHz PCS band.  So I guess if the value was under 128 it would be 800...

 

 

Hope that helps.  A lot of iPhone users don't know about that code.  Pretty handy since you can look up a lot of stuff without downloading a program from iTunes..

How exactly did you determine that from those screen shots? All Greek to me. Tried to interpret the info based on instructions from a couple posts back, but I guess I don't understand.

Correct.

Why only lite up lte without 3g or 800,because of the voice hand off and 911?

 

Once 3g and 800 accepted on the tower, will be excited to see voice and data coverage in the area.

Correct. 3G must be brought online in clusters to help reduce drop calls with Samsung NV and Legacy Motorola equipment.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
