For those interested, the construction meeting went well. Bids are still being accepted from GCs at the moment, but they want to start soon, very soon.

Alright folks. Now that 2014 is here, we should see completion of LTE 1900 in the coming months with a robust 3G/1x800 network as well as see LTE800 start to light up towards the middle-to-end of the

This was in my driveway, btw. If I'm in my truck or in my house I usually am on 3G or sometimes 1 bar of LTE. I've picked it up at Westerville Central many times as well. Very weak signal, but still faster than 3G.

There's an elusive LTE cell waiting to be discovered. PCI 465 is all I can see. Screen shot below was on gender road over 33 for maybe 10 seconds. Had it earlier on Foley at Long Rd, shows on Sensorly. Had it on Lehman Road west of Bowen Rd this morning. I drove to all cells known active and legacy for 90 minutes, couldn't find it.

Now rumor has it if you toggle airplane mode the phone will go searching for LTE. I did this near every site and nada.

 

So this must be the LTE gods sending down LTE from the heavens.

Good catch - bottom rack is Sprint being actively worked on.  You can see the RRHs very easy there.  Top rack is Clearwire - interesting they had a cable attached to it as well.. Maybe doing something to it at the same time?

 

I drove by here this morning and it's definitely further along than this pic - no wires hanging off and the RRHs seem to all be completely connected.  Also of note - the CABs on the ground used to be connected to nothing, and now the cables run right into the tower!  Unsure of backhaul as I didn't see any digging, but who knows if they even need to do that here.  I'm going to try to check out other sites in the area as I know that these usually go on in clusters, so I'm curious to see if Georgesville Rd has upgrades as well, although that's one on top of high voltage wires.

Played with the HTC one max last night, huge phone but very fast and nice screen. I'm going to keep an eye during black Friday/cyber Monday and might pick it up.

I would be concerned given the past history of HTC RF along with the poor RF numbers from this device. Make sure you can return easily.

That's the thing that sucks, because otherwise it's an amazing phone.

Get a N5 then. That's the only device that I can recommend today. Not that my recommendation means anything.

And I want a spark phone, want to get mesmerized...

 

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

Well one of the greatest features of Spark is being able to handoff and if the RF is so weak it won't make it to the next handoff easily.

Yeah, I'm thinking Coz might have me talked into that... I want the 32gb.

That's the route I will probably be going. Pure Google, updates from Google, ability to swap in other SIMs, excellent RF comparisons, etc.. Out weighs the smaller screen.

 

Have a few toys I need to sell to fund my craving though..

Exactly, I worked some overtime... Need the funds to come in and place the order.

Dumb question.... if my Note 3 says bands 41&26 is disabled,that means what? I thought they weren't included. Please refresh me.

The software is there but the hardware isn't.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
