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

Yeah, the workers ran the fiber cables and power to top of tower yesterday. I would think it should be completed soon.

Looks like a chime will be coming shortly.

 

I'm shocked how fast they're knocking that out. Hell if this city is going to be like that, it's going to be amazing soon.

Hey, the one on Lancaster Ave has fiber already. But still has legacy cabs and antennas. I thought they were going to be doing work sooner since I saw a truck there a couple weeks ago.

We need to start seeing more cabs. The cabs are dropped off and the installers bring the antennas, so we need that preliminary drop off first.

Looking at the GCI pattern...  it's a Granville or Groveport site (can't post IDs here).  Nice to see the pattern playing out.

I know, I don't get why they haven't dropped off cabs yet in the area. Unless they're just bringing the cabs with them. That doesn't fit how they tend to do things. Unless they're not moving east and are moving due north. That seems strange.

Your HEX Serving Cell aka GCI works the same way the Samsung Serving Cell aka PCI works. So we need them. Yours are actually better than ours.

I think it's coming from the Welsh hills, heading there now.

Where do I find the 3 sets of #'s... Don't see in eng screen under lte?

Remember when I was telling you that you were a valuable source to Columbus with your HEX IDs? Well this is why:

 

08615Dxx is the Serving Cell for all three sectors.

  • 08615D00
  • 08615D01
  • 08615D02

Without having to drive to whatever site that is, we know that's the three serving cells from that site.

 

I'm moving this convo over to the Sponsor side so we can figure out the Site ID, even though I know Digi already knows which one it is.

I'm not sure I understand your post.  I'm talking about the pattern based on site ID.

My bad, I thought you were referring to his LTE Engineering screenshot.

Just you sir, from the patterns, they're just passive scans from people not associated with S4GRU.com

Ohhhhh. I see. Obviously you two have chatted. I'm not sure how the PCI is derived from data that say a GS3 would show.

PCI should be changed to POS for Samsung Markets. ;)

Haven't chatted with him but I did throw in the few I saw on the sheet and sent him a note about it. 

 

Only HTC and Iphones show the GCI's.  I was able to lay down the patten many months ago for all the New Orleans sites and they've been dead on everytime.  It's kind of cheating though as you already know which site is when it fires up.  Kills the excitement and the hunt that I've done a few times hunting for which site I was on.

So as I'm sitting here chatting with digiblur, I actually share his frustration of calling something by the wrong name (i.e. panels). So I don't know if you all have realized, but it bugs the hell out of me when refer to Samsung's Remote Radio Heads as RRUs.

 

Ericsson makes RRUs

Excuse me sir, I think you made a boo boo or just really suck at making your point. I've attempted to show you where.  :lol:

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
