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.

 

Aww man, and I was hoping for some breakthrough in coverage when I get the G2 using my dad's upgrade :D

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

Find that first 800MHz LTE site. That would be a significant breakthrough! ;)

I'm hoping to find some 800 LTE in West Michigan when I visit the family for Thanksgiving! ;)

 

Maybe....

All this anticipation is making feel like the dinosaur in Toy Story 3 when the toys were trying to get Andy's attention.  I'll be heading out of the office soon and do mapping in the Brice Rd region.

 

When I was driving thru Baltimore yesterday and I could see the Sprint tower, that this is tall!

Just North where the mapping stops on Sensorly on Brice Rd and Gender is where service,date and voice, is bad

Yes, the Sprint zone, the barrier reef, aka the ribbon. The area between NV and legacy. It will be bad until they accept more sites there.

I have looked at it, been busy with work, trying to make sense of what all the legends mean.  It's in the process :)

 

P.S.  I did map Brice and Refugee and LTE.  Not even on that bridge that goes over the railroad tracks, which I thought being at a higher point might give me some coverage, but no.

I'm going to buy either SCP or LTE Discovery app?  Just wondering with the most recent app update to LTE discovery if it does the same exact thing that SCP can?  

 

I own and recommend both and I still SCP when I'm hunting as LTE-D doesn't provide BSL Addresses.

Picked up 800 test mode in Delaware this morning. It was a ball hauler too, from near the LTE site at 71/37 all the way in to Delaware. While grabbing all the SCI's I was actually on only 800, no EVDO, nothing. I was floored that the only thing coming out of that cell was 800. I didn't have a lick of service the whole 2 hours I was there. Lancaster is not much better. I don't understand how Sprint could have such a horrible presence in these communities unless it was just for highway coverage.

Same here, really don't understand the thought process on some things... Ugh

Hello all,

 

As promised I did mapping along 310 to 37, 37 to Johnstown and Johnstown along 62 to Utica.  I also did mapping in Utica.  If you check sensorly and see a speed test in Utica, that was me, I ran it outside of the Utica elementary school, using the sensorly test.  I got some pretty amazing results when I was there.  I also ran some tests once inside the building through OOKLA.

 

Here is the speed test using Sensorly while outside of the school:

Here is the speed test using OOKLA.  The top two are inside the school and the bottom one is outside of the school:

Hope it helps.

In northeast Columbus for the day. So far about 10 kinds of wonky going on. There has to be some LTE or 800 acceptance going on. No data, or no cell, or no data nor cell, 800, no 800. Sitting about 400 feet from a ready cell too.

 

Having a trust issue with SCP too, so I verified the no signal with my Eng screen.

Wipe data on SCP. Before doing so. Send your cache to mikejeep.

Good morning all,

 

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but is anyone planning on getting the Nexus 5?  I looked at the specs and it's going to be another tri-band LTE phone on Sprint.  I assume it shares internal components with the G2.

Appears to be a great phone. The members here love it so far. Only the 16GB versions are loaded in Sprint's system 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....
