Gmotif6 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 So Sprint is giving a 30 day Satisfaction Guarantee on its Plus Network, for new customers. Personally for this area, I think they should wait til the densification project is completed. Maybe there's a Big Rollout about too happen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmotif6 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 My route from Columbus to Decatur,Indy and back was uninterrupted this morning. Usually I lose service in the Russell's Point area and 2 other small towns. Hope this continues Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkyeager Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 1x800 now completed in Columbus OH (minus a few sites still in test mode). What does that mean? Fewer dropped calls, better availability of data (at slow speeds -- but otherwise you would have none). This is great new for the northern half of Columbus!! The way it was done also opens the door for 5x5 B26 LTE which also has better building penetration, since it uses the same low frequency band. :tu: Thank you Sprint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacha_j Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Question... can anybody explain why I am not even pulling 2 mbps up or down In the Barnett Rd and Livingston Ave area on my HTC M9? I dread these Clearwire Towers. #Sofrustrating. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkyeager Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Question... can anybody explain why I am not even pulling 2 mbps up or down In the Barnett Rd and Livingston Ave area on my HTC M9? I dread these Clearwire Towers. #Sofrustrating. The Clear sites as currently configured are at the end of their useful economic life and are reportedly no longer supported by their manufacturer. The US government views them as a security risk thus they are slated to be upgraded (to the best of our knowledge). The court case against Sprint likely delayed action on this by 4 months minimum (they could not make new plans while it was an uncertain resolution. Held up by a bunch of church people -- so your to blame . Since they generally measure time in millenniums rather than nano seconds, WiMAX was advanced technology to them! ). Decommissioning of Clear sites only used for WiMAX has begun. We have also seen fiber going towards Clear sites broadcasting LTE, which could eliminate the current microwave bottleneck. Microwave is not bad, the Clear microwave has just been never upgraded in virtually all cases. The way all Columbus Metro LTE 2500 is currently configured, even the Sprint LTE 2500 sites can not be upgraded to host a third LTE 2500 carrier for carrier aggregation (combining them for better speed for the latest phones, adding capacity for everyone else) until the Clear sites are upgraded.

dkyeager Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Columbus is experiencing its third LTE 1900 expansion. What started as LTE 5x5 was expanded at many sites to 10x10 last year. Now a third expansion to 5x5 + 10x10 has begun. It has been observed at sites of all types, except GMO LTE which make up less than 1% of our sites. Currently more than 70 sites with 5x5 + 10x10 have been found, generally by people driving around doing their usual activities. If you wish to know which sites have been found, or even to help out by providing peak signal data logs through Signal Check Professional ($3 or so), make a small donation to S4GRU for $10-20 or more by clicking on the donation item in the upper right corner here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/index Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk south of Livingston in between James rd and Barnett is where I'm located. They told me too turn of my lte cause the signal is so weak. Calls don't go thru until I hit i70. Must me an IOS thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacha_j Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I am located near Coburn and ScottWood and I did experience very bad service between Zettler and James and like you said. It cleared up once I got on 70. Sense they enabled B-26 band last February at The Groves and Courtright site it has been a lot better. I had the M7 last year and switch to the M9 last May. Maybe a PRL or Profile update will help. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkyeager Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sprint LTE network down in Columbus. Started with B41 this morning and was back for a while, then all LTE died before lunch. To get on 3G your must go to settings | Mobile Network | Network Mode and then change it to CDMA. Don't forget to change it back to global later today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkyeager Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Issues reported in Hilliard, west side of Columbus, Reynoldsburg, south end of Columbus. A lot of people in our chat have vanished, likely due to no connection. Waiting for other reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperZu83 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Thank God it wasn't just me. My phone reset on its own last night and I had to reconnect my google accounts. I thought the network errors all day in Grandview were related to the phone crapping out. Edited May 5, 2016 by SuperZu83 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperZu83 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think it's happening again in the Worthington area. No mobile data unless I force the phone into CDMA mode and connect to 3G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Most likely to do with Band 41 EARFCN relocation. They're shifting the Band 41 LTE carriers from 2570s-2610s to 2620s-2670s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkyeager Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Preparation for band 41 3rd carrier. We do not have proof of that shift yet, but it is a logical conclusion. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
