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.

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

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.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
