Network Vision/LTE - Columbus Market

[imex99]

Ok. I'm learning quite a bit here today. Somebody explain this one. I live near Carroll and I have an EVO LTE phone. Today I had it on a stock rooted rom at home and I was getting 1xRTT earlier today. Then I switched back to my CyanogenMod Rom and I was getting 1x800 - still in my house. I was accessing the same exact tower (6241-6297 Columbus-Lancaster Rd. NW, Carroll). It's the one behind McDonalds just off 33 and Winchester Rd.

If your not a sponsor, spend a few dollars and become one... You'll learn mucho and find out where all the towers are and wick are which.

Any honeycrisp apples left at Lynd's? 310 is the "buffer" between Moto/Samy towers so you are lucky to have had any usable service at all!

Those went for sale and gone yesterday. So sad. I had NV EVDO from the cell next to the farm. I noticed it was a GMO. 800 blooped once but I couldn't get it long enough to see where it was. I went south on 310 and coming to patalaska I connected to the Marcy Rd tower. Really surprised at that considering the hills between me and it. I had hoped to maybe snag a granville cell.

Luck of the draw. The stock PRL makes both 800 and legacy the same priority. Likely you were picking up 800 and nit 19. When your phone restarted. youre likely to stay on 800 until you get out of range of it and the phone scans PCS.

 

Cyanogenmod uses whatever PRL that was loaded.

256 & Livingston updated: Hope this turns out less blurry.

Drove past there today. Not sure what the deal is with the pics,when I laid eyes on the tower and cabinets I knew 100% this was NV work in progress. Good find.

Someone posted about the cloverleaf for 70/256. It kinda looks like NV antennas on it. They're so high though. Who hasa SLR/DSLR that can get some pics? Anyone daring enough to get up in the vicinity of the site for some pics?

I spoke to a tower climber that said he and his buddy were in town from Detroit and thaey were installing Sprint LTE on this site. That was 2 weeks ago and I seen them there working for about 3 days, then nothing. When I mentioned it here, all the replies said there was no Sprint on that tower. I really hope they weren't messing with me. That would be an insane improvement for that area.

There was an LTE update this past week according to the acceptance report thread, but I don't know where it was.

We know where it is

Considering what they call the "Columbus market", it could damn well be in Chillicothe... or they could consider the Dayton sites part of Columbus.

At least the market is in the right state.

I wouldn't put it past them to consider Columbus, IN as "Columbus" as well...

Is the LTE sprint is putting up now LTE 1900 or LTE 800? In most buildings I don't get reliable 3G signal.

1900 only so far unfortunately

1900 for now, your LTE reception should be roughly the same as what you currently get for 3G until we get 800 LTE.

Shouldn't our current 3g foot print improve a bit with NV 3g and fiber back haul?

I'm more concerned with building penetration. Wimax is terrible at that and 3G seems kind of spotty

LTE 1900 will not be the same coverage area that EVDO 1900 provides. The same is true with comparing EVDO to 1x.

[quicksand jesus]

1x800 will penetrate buildings MUCH better for voice service.

So 1900 LTE will be a little better then current 3g ?

No, LTE requires more signal strength to work, then next in line is EVDO, then 1x.

Sprint may be in trouble. Apple just announced the iPhone 5c which will have more LTE bands than any other smartphone. And the Iphone5s. I've seen post with people selling their Sprint products and jumping ship all because of LTE Deployment. Sure it's techies tho

[Feldenak]

Has 3G near Easton taken a real nosedive or is my EVO finally giving up the ghost? I used to get fairly reasonable service at work and the last few days have been horrific. Data will just disappear and my voice shows as "roaming".

I'm not sure that would have any negative effect on Sprint. The new iPhone will support LTE 1900 and 800. By the time LTE 2500/2600 is worth using Nationally there will be 1 or 2 new iPhone released.

Too many people in the area. Until one of the two sites go LTE launched you're not going to see a change for the better.

And those new iPhones will be around for a while unfortunately.
