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

The tower I'm closest to finally goes LTE, and I still can't get it at my own house. <_>

Gotta wait for LTE 800SMR.

Good to read LTE is at brice rd, bad to read is far south it is from me. Good to read is the 270/main St upgrade n work off americana n Tussing. Which means my initial comment of bad read will be an overall good thing with more patience.

If it's not already done by tomorrow night, I'll try and get some mapping done on gender north of Shannon Rd. See how much that tower covers north of the area.

I'll be out by Brice and Refugee tomorrow late afternoon, I'll see if that new LTE tower reaches that far.  It's nice to see Sprint bring LTE to outlying areas, until WiMax which was concentrated to big cities, at least at the time when the plug was pulled on it.

 

I just wish us big city folks would get it too B)

I didn't get any hits in the brice refugee/chatterton Rd area earlier in the evening, but it could be my phone. Hopefully you'll have better luck! I'm waiting for it closer to 70 and Brice area.

Where exactly on Brice Rd is this new LTE tower?

Just north of Winchester Pike by maybe 800 feet?

 

Picked up 4-6 800 sites in test mode this morning. I got screen shots but have to go back over them to know which sites specifically. I did get the two on South Hamilton Rd, one next to Groveport HS the other across from Nafzger Park, also Kleinline Ave in Obetz.

Nafzger park will be a good one for the area! Hope that one combined with the one on Old Brice n 270/main St will quell poor coverage on noe-bixby n Gender Rd

I have a Galaxy S3, maybe it will pick up.  I lay my phone on my dashboard and it's in a fairly exposed position, so we shall see.

Thank you, kind sir.  I'll be in Utica tomorrow, due to my son breaking a window at school, so I'll do some mapping within Utica.  I saw spots along 62, but I want to see how much LTE coverage the town has.  But thank you for your pick :blush: .

Thank you, I'll need, especially my $300. 

 

On the side note, what are the chances that Sprint is already deploying 800MHz and 2600MHz LTE bands, but due to lack of tri-band phone, at this time, we're unable to catch it.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all current LTE phones on Sprint are set to 1900MHz?

There are sites that are already live on the 2500/2600 band. That has been verified by users on triband hotspots (they have been out for several months).

 

Still waiting on 800Mhz LTE though.

      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....
