Network Vision/LTE - Columbus Market

[kineticman]

Another LTE site went live in the Washington Court House area.

 

Really a great time for you non-sponsors to throw some money to the S4GRU family!  We have a great group of people in the Columbus market providing a tremendous amount of information our way accessible to sponsors.

One thing I am finding interesting. I was looking at the sensorly maps of the Big 4 when it comes to LTE. Verizon, by far, is king... for now. AT&T, surprisingly, lacks when it comes to providing LTE outside of big cities. T-Mobile is in that same boat with AT&T but that is not shocking. Sprint is not too far behind Verizon. Comparing the Sprint Sensorly map from 6 months ago to now and you clearly see how aggressive they are. It seemed to take them a while to get that fire lit under their asses, but accross the country I see a signifcant amount of purple now. As long as Sprint keeps up the unlimited data, I see Sprint finally making a huge dent in the near future. So far, the Softbank merger has been a huge plus.

Highly possible. HIGHLY POSSIBLE. The only problem with Sensorly is that it's Volunteered Crowd Source, so the other 3 may provide more coverage we may never know about, depending on their hunting communities.

Very true. However, I do find sensorly more reliable than the crappy overblown maps that companies tend to put out for themselves.

Today for the 1st time in 4 weeks, I was on a call going down 256 between Refugee & 70 and the call didn't drop once. 2 times actually. Not sure if it was luck or a good sign... Either way it felt amazing! That stretch has been unusable for too long.

800 active this morning on the Grove City LTE site. It's in test mode though. Also looks like they've turned off the 800 on the South 22nd/Tarrier Steel site. It was always in test mode.

I'm guessing ur still on 800 prl? I've been running stock on the latest Sprint prl and have had better coverage lately, not sure if some more Licking County towers were converted to NV from legacy and not having the hand-off problem or what, not even dropping 161 near 310 anymore.

I was able to stay on a call from 310 area to Newark last Tuesday for the first time in months. No idea what the difference is, but it works finally!

I did that for awhile and had good voice coverage until the 5 mile stretch of 33 near Canal Winchester. Then dropped calls always. When I went back to 800 I don't have that problem. Its working pretty well with the airwave too

Am I the only person on this board to pick up LTE in Groveport? It's not new. I'm shocked the two soccer dads haven't said anything as the soccer field was one of the places I've picked it up.

[RM42]

Too far for me to pick up on the north side of 33. Isn't it just coming from the Grove City site, though?

[newatthis]

I live right across from the soccer fields.... no LTE on my note 2 or 3 yet.

First glance. I don't know if we have that site recorded. Maybe new.

Just checked the spreadsheet again and I don't see any 455 serving cells... 

 

Were you able to do any sensorly mapping?

No, was on my way to Tim Hortons On my way back my phone went off again saying it got the 4G signal again.

 

Wanted to grab the LTE Engineering screen first.. then I had to move as the light turned green.

 

 When I go out for lunch and I'll head north on Sawmill, I'll map it

 

For once, I think @SprintCare twitter didn't lie to me

I would think it would be from the nearest tower around Manning Parkway, but we have all three serving cells from that tower and 455 is NOT one of them.

 

Appreciate all of the help.

We're missing one from the other closest site. Maybe one SC belongs to the other and 455 belongs to that one. At -104dBm that's not extremely far.

I was able to map sawmill for a little. Got this on a speed test at sawmill and Powell road

Btw the cell in the cloverleaf at east main/270 has RRHs now. Looks like they're a half day into the Americana Pkwy site too. I know of 4 sites left east of high and south of Livingston that need work done. I need to go visit old town east plus Whitehall and see whats left there. Pics and cell IDs later.

I guess it's safe to say that the zoo should have LTE coverage now, right?

Stable? No.

[RM42]

Sounds like they're still horsing around then...

[derrph]

I was at The Rusty Bucket today in Gahanna and to my surprise even though there is no LTE to my knowledge there the 3g speeds were really good. So I guessing this is the NV 3G?
