Same as above, rarely use that feature but we have a mini workaround.... Use Google voice for calling (can be bad sounding if you don't have a great data connection.

 

Your going to be waiting until mid 15 or later for Sprints VoLTE though as mentioned above.

You mean it can get worse than sounding like Stephen Hawking?

I'm pretty certain most of the Clear sites are done. Curious what you get as a speedtest. The post above yours was done at the shoe.

I will once I get out of class. I do know that I first picked it up by the French house but I am sure it's all from the same tower.

My test? It's not at the shoe. It's on cemetery rd. On campus b41 will be around 35-45mbps depending on location and time of day.

Wow thats great.. all that bandwidth in the busy areas

With a tri-band phone inside of 270 LTE worked pretty well in many places. Band 41 did make that better. Sadly the satisfaction of data users is being met but the voice customers not so much.

Your favorite site was just LTE accepted yesterday. It was just recently converted to a full build.

Jennings hall on campus on Neil ave I think that's the street name

Campus is coming along nicely.  Considering the data on campus in the summer was lucky to hit .5Mb.

 

Great news considering how dense the population on campus is.

Oh how I remember those speeds when I had to come and speak with my advisor during the summer.

Sprint Band 41 launches in Columbus Market outside of metro area  maybe everywhere it is installed :frantic::banana::cool:

 

 

This will bring massive improvements in download speeds in due course.

How many customers can a typical cell tower handle at one time?

This maybe a dumb question but with b41 are they just firing up the towers with it first and then going back and adding whatever they need to add to keep with the promise of peak speeds of 100mbps?

Idk much about peak speeds of 100mbps but so far on clear sites, we have seen ~70mbps down. With the new sprint b41 sites today, the sites seemed to be not fully configured yet. Speeds were near ~30mbps.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
