I have been getting a lot of "1x" on my iPhone 5C lately. Especially in Westerville. Anyone know why this is happening?

Work is being done in Westerville but we can't say that's the reason for your 1x.

Where were you in westerville, any where near I-270? That site is legacy and cannot keep up anymore. I've been getting 1x from it for a couple weeks now...

Eventually it will be, and Westerville is having a lot of work done now. You'll probably see it upgraded pretty soon.

Yes it is being updated, I've been watching that tower for at least a year due to it being directly next to my office.  It's too bad, because that site is the worst.  Cannot wait for that site to go live.

I guess I should stop being lazy and tell you all that another site in Zanesville went to LTE yesterday....

 

If you're a sponsor, you may want to join our chat. I'll post their first, then get around to S4GRU.com later.

It would be worth noting if the phone was just scanning for signal in those bands vs finding and registering. I believe once registered the status says IDLE. At least that's what mine is saying registered on active bc25.

Attention G2 Users!!!

 

The spark update was released early this morning: http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Find_and_update_the_software_version_on_your_LG_G2/WServiceAdvisory_542_GKB55011?INTNAV=SU:DP:OV:UG:LgG2:FindAndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourLgG2

(credit: The Dave)  It may take 10 days for you to get this update, which is randomly determined by Google.

 

In a spark market you will get all three bands, which gives you high speed (band 41), better building penetration and distance (band 26), and traditional LTE (band 25).  Columbus is not a spark market (yet.) Currently you will only see some 1900 LTE(band 25) sites in Columbus and more in most of the surrounding communities.  We currently have 44 band 41 spark sites in Columbus, but special techniques are required to regularly see them (these techniques are currently being retested with latest release). On infrequent occasions band 41 sites will be visible to a spark enabled G2. If your phone says it is on band 50, that means it is idle (has no LTE). 

 

More detailed information is available to sponsors.  All information is available to premier members.

This post will be edited as events change in Columbus for G2 phones as more LTE sitea are being added each week.

Yes. On the westbound off ramp. To the right. A backho @ a large roll of orange tube

Interesting, I'll be back there today.  Try to snag a photo if you have a chance, I know it is a difficult one to document with all of the traffic.

 

Thanks.

That work has been going on a couple weeks. Thank you for mentioning it as I forgot to. Not real sure about what that is. Orange is definitely fiber but it's coming from the side of the freeway up the off-ramp. Either it was the easiest way to the Lauffer Rd tower from where the fiber is or ODOT is extending their fiber that runs down the median for something.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
