The tower I'm closest to finally goes LTE, and I still can't get it at my own house. <_>

Gotta wait for LTE 800SMR.

Maybe they'll adjust the downtilt.

Maybe we'll get lucky and heyGURLhey will do some mapping on that tower!!!! 0_0

Good to read LTE is at brice rd, bad to read is far south it is from me. Good to read is the 270/main St upgrade n work off americana n Tussing. Which means my initial comment of bad read will be an overall good thing with more patience.

If it's not already done by tomorrow night, I'll try and get some mapping done on gender north of Shannon Rd. See how much that tower covers north of the area.

I'll be out by Brice and Refugee tomorrow late afternoon, I'll see if that new LTE tower reaches that far.  It's nice to see Sprint bring LTE to outlying areas, until WiMax which was concentrated to big cities, at least at the time when the plug was pulled on it.

 

I just wish us big city folks would get it too B)

I didn't get any hits in the brice refugee/chatterton Rd area earlier in the evening, but it could be my phone. Hopefully you'll have better luck! I'm waiting for it closer to 70 and Brice area.

Where exactly on Brice Rd is this new LTE tower?

Just north of Winchester Pike by maybe 800 feet?

 

Picked up 4-6 800 sites in test mode this morning. I got screen shots but have to go back over them to know which sites specifically. I did get the two on South Hamilton Rd, one next to Groveport HS the other across from Nafzger Park, also Kleinline Ave in Obetz.

Nafzger park will be a good one for the area! Hope that one combined with the one on Old Brice n 270/main St will quell poor coverage on noe-bixby n Gender Rd

I have a Galaxy S3, maybe it will pick up.  I lay my phone on my dashboard and it's in a fairly exposed position, so we shall see.

Thank you, kind sir.  I'll be in Utica tomorrow, due to my son breaking a window at school, so I'll do some mapping within Utica.  I saw spots along 62, but I want to see how much LTE coverage the town has.  But thank you for your pick :blush: .

Good luck with the kid. No rush, we'll be here.

Thank you, I'll need, especially my $300. 

 

On the side note, what are the chances that Sprint is already deploying 800MHz and 2600MHz LTE bands, but due to lack of tri-band phone, at this time, we're unable to catch it.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all current LTE phones on Sprint are set to 1900MHz?

There are sites that are already live on the 2500/2600 band. That has been verified by users on triband hotspots (they have been out for several months).

 

Still waiting on 800Mhz LTE though.

    • 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?
