My data service has gotten worse I did have lte 2 weeks ago but it was a low signal now all my phone sees now is 1x and when it does pop back to 3G it does not work even at 3am. Any ideas of what could be going on?

No data. everything just times out. I'm showing LTE -100, which isn't great, but usable.

 

There were some data issues the other day where it went down nationwide, but I don't think this is your issue. derrph, I'd try a single profile update to see if that helps, but it sounds like the network is overwhelmed, yes even LTE. Once they finish some nearby clusters with 3G and LTE it will show improvement, but yes, it can't get here fast enough.

 

One bright note. It has been confirmed that Band 41 Sprint 2600 (not Clear) permits have been filled to establish the final part of True Sprint Spark in Columbus.

When is LTE going to be in the downtown area? I see all this LTE out of Columbus none what so ever in the heart of downtown.

There is plenty of LTE downtown, you just need a triband phone with our techniques. ;)   Eventually Columbus will be launched and it will be open to all.  :tu: 

 

The progress detail is in the sponsor spreadsheet on the first page of the sponsor forum.  Happy hunting!!

I think what they're trying to explain to you is that the reason for doing this from the outside in is to attempt to minimize network disruption. If we think we have it bad now, it's nothing compared to if they worked the opposite or did sites haphazardly instead of clusters. For better or worse, we're benefiting from the debacle that was the Chicago rollout.

Anyone notice that one of the cabinet doors was left wide open at the 270 & Westerville site? It's been like that for at least 2 days now.

 

Can you grab some pictures? We still show that site is legacy and no Network Vision equipment has been seen on site since last checked on 2/2/2014.

Picture is dark, but it sure looks empty - which would explain why it was left wide open.. If it had new equipment in it, Id 'HOPE they'd have it locked up when no one is around.

It's not a Network Vision Cabinet and I don't believe it's a Legacy Sprint cabinet either. I believe it may be a Nextel cabinet. Which would explain why it's empty.

 

You can use this here to spot Samsung NV Cabinets in our area: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3906-how-to-spot-sprint-antennas-and-rrus-samsung-style/

You can get credit for this site if you drive to that site and confirm 1 or 2 of the other serving cells. I think I know what site it is, but can't discuss over here.

Ok will do when I get off of work if no one snags it up first

    • Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.
    • Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile. 
    • T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.
    • 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 could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
