Arrgh, I need a new phone, I'm relying on the misses to do some mapping/speed test with her note 2. Stupid Evo lte - less won't stay connected.

Plus it makes it hard hunting lte, less than 3 weeks for me!

I was able to get an LTE Eng screen from signal at hamilton Rd, Doesn't seem to be that tower putting out the LTE, my guess is a pickerington new tower since it was so weak and it was quickly trumped by eHRPD from the actual Hamilton/270 Tower...  I picked it up on the bridge and lost it when I hit the freeway, I did pick it up again at Home Depot on Brice and was able to get a 1.5mb/s down on a -115 LTE signal there...

Does anyone know if  phones being updated to use 800 voice in Ohio?  Are people with capable phones in ohio seeing voice improvement or is quality just lacking because updated areas are too spotty ?  Im not talking of the iPhone

They're there...

I know they are too and that the site is still 100000000000000000% legacy transmission. Had a reason I was asking for spotting credit on the spreadsheet. He didn't post pics (pretty certain) of when the RRH's were going up or were up when he posted WIP. I'm thinking first to post pics gets credit! :) I intentionally didn't take pics last night.

I'm sorry I don't understand the question. If you're asking have any one of us made a voice call on 1x800, we have, call quality has been great on Network Vision on 1x800 and 1900.

First to spot anything gets all credit. So if you spot Cabs 1 month and three months later they add RRHs, credit still all goes to the first person. Cleaner on the spreadsheet to list only one user.

Ok, ,its just that I have a co worker who lives in the area in south east columbus where 800 voice is densely populated..

they've been complaining that their SG3 is often not receiving calls from family and sometimes text the last few weeks.. I didn't say anything but I wondered why this would be the case when I know they should be fine.

They're more than likely not hitting 1x800. They're probably experiencing issues being on the border of NV and Legacy Equipment on 1900.

Due to tonight's frigid temperatures, we're postponing tonight's event at 16-bit bar downtown. I'll let everyone know ASAP on a new date and time.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

it just depends on how far south east Columbus you're talking. Anything south east of 270 towards Canal Winchester and pIckerington that is to be expected unfortunately.

In Chillicothe today I picked up 1x 800 and got a text from sprint saying lte upgrades should be complete in a month!

Everyone is getting that text. I would take the part about upgrades being complete in a month with a large bucket of salt. If they said 2-3 months everything would be largely complete, I'd probably hesitantly agree.

Well we've seen a lot of work happen fast bere. I was pretty impressed to get that 800 ping it was a good 15 miles from me, , kept all day throughout alot of town.

Fair enough, I'm just trying to temper expectations since it seems like Sprint's strategy is to fan the fire until it's out of control and then throw gas on it. Things seem to be picking up steam, but saying the Columbus market will be largely complete in a month seems overly optimistic when so many sites haven't even had work started yet. Unless they're moving more crews in to pick up the pace, I don't see it.

Well they live pretty much in the mix of the 800 voice towers just SE of Cols... and the thing is is 800 is often picked up much further away and they live right there - NOT 10,15,20 miles away

They live under the coverage. I live 2 miles from the Basil site but usually connect to the one south of Canal by Slate Run. The downside to the area is they will get handed off to legacy sites. Voice there's ways to work around it. Data there isn't.

Those stupid text messages r self sabotage, IMHO. As some consumers take it as accurate set in stone guarantees. The wording is wrong, overly vague, and just about meaningless to anyone in the know. They just end up as another "sprint is going to do/be..." conversations, that don't meet expectations. But you get what you pay for. Lol

    • 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?
