My 800 tower is so inconsistent but Damn it has some range on it... I can pick it up around my house in Granville and also on 161, will drop the signal between 310 and Beech rd.

 

The thing though, never know when or if I'll pick it up, lucky I have signal check pro bc I would never know about 800 bc my EVO lte just picks it up and drops it at random. Prolly doesn't help not having backhaul yet on the tower.

Uhm.... Hopefully this doesn't get me in trouble. But don't hold your breathe for additional 800 directly in Granville, besides the newly accepted site NE of downtown Granville. For the near future.

Ummmm, no... We have 800 accepted tower in Granville already....

I'm picking up the 800 all the way from Granville!

My bad, I had to correct myself. Check the update.

I believe thenight said the Columbus Rd tower is NV 3g/800 also. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Beta

 

I don't believe so. Not near future, but we'll see.

Pretty good stuff!

I wonder which tower you are connecting too... The tower right next to I-270 is the one I connect to at work and it has the same old coverage / speed.  In our building, I'm lucky to get one bar for most of the office.  I can't wait for 800 to get accepted on this tower.

I can get 2.2 mb on the old 3G on any tower. It just depends on how loaded that cell is at the time. One time it will be 2.5 mb, next time .3 mb. Also server load at the other end of the test affects output.

Took a screen shot of received LTE while out on a walk in GC, near Old Haughn and Orders area:

I'm not sure why it says Piketon, OH, as that's about an hour south of where I was.

That's just the server the speed test app is using.

Speeds probably pretty slow as it looks like on Sensorly, the LTE signal is pretty weak there. Note that your signal strength in that screenshot is of the 1X site you are also connected to, and does not represent your LTE signal strength.

Did another tower go live?

 

Noticed on the Sensorely map that when going north of Morse it fades out, but there is now some pretty dark purple near on 71n right near where it hits 270 near westerville.  Then it stops of course, but still it goes from light signal to very strong signal right there.  Wonder if a tower in that area went live and it just hasn't been mapped yet.

Or it could be that a Galaxy Nexus polluted the results. I'm thinking it's that, given that right next to that dark purple it shows really low signal.

Does the Galaxy Nexus have a really strong antenna, or does sensorly not report signal strength properly on it?

The GNex has a bad radio. Reports false information. It reports a really strong signal when it really has a weak one or no signal at all.

Vice Versa the Nexus reports incorrectly, because it has bad EVERYTHING! ;)

Now take back all those hurtful things that were said about our tender Galaxy Nexuses, COZisBack! My poor phone was crying itself to sleep. :)

 

/I still promise not to let it paint purple

Hey, gotta call a spade a spade.

Gnex is the best phone out there for Sprint minus the screen size and battery life.

 

Uhm.... Ok. Sure..... Whatever you say sir....

    • 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?
