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.

Pickerington. Longview getting moved. Old gear removed from the water tower. New gear also removed. Now on a New monopole next door. Of course the southwest sector is blocked by the water tower. Roads still closed around it.

I hope so. I know thus far my experience around Columbus has been wonderful to the point a few of my tmobile friends are switching back to sprint here soon. Do you know when b26 on 8tr8 will start?

In the last week, I have gotten B26 a few times, but it seems to be sporadic.  Does that make sense?

 

Speeds with B25

Couple of questions --

 

1 -- Does it make sense that I got B26 a few times but not now?

 

2 -- Do these speeds seem logical based upon everyone's experience?

1: Yes, may have been turned on for testing and has been turned back off

2: Yes, until capacity is spread out across the bands.

Totally possible you picked up b26. I haven't picked up any yet in the past 3 days. Which part of campus were you around?

 

Edit : Whoops. Ignore.

I will pull 30+ from band 25 on that tower and a little faster on band 26. But I will do that sitting at Meijer. I wish they would have tuned that tower differently and I'll stop there. The speed test is only as good as the test server though. I use Ooooookla and either a site in Dayton or Waverly to test to. Dayton seems to perform better.

 

To pick up band 26 is tricky. You have to essentially be in an area that band 25 is not receiving well. Like a dip or valley, or farther away from the site. For a short time one could pick it up easily. At my house, I'm so far off axis with the north antenna that neither works well. I expect the same from band 41 when it comes up. Well actually I had band 41 from it when they left it on accidentally. It performed worse than band 25.

Gave up on editing my other response. Sir you are the nerd king of all nerds on this board! Congrats on the external antenna. Kick ass!!

 

The one reason I may keep my everything account and have just a mifi and cancel time warner. That thing is sexy.

The dish is the LTE antenna? what's the other antenna used for? Just curious?
