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

I have heard from friends that people have been seeing 4g flickerings around certain areas of columbus.

 

Ask your friends where at... I drive all over central, Ohio and haven't seen any yet. I can drive around the area and test, even trying to force with airplane mode.

Been following this thread for awhile and feel compelled to leave a message. I've heard from a good source that lte will not be in Columbus until 2014 but to expect revamped 3G first. Can anyone counter that?

I'm not sure we have any information to counter it per se, but it is typical of a lot of markets to upgrade 3G first then turn on LTE. I really have a hard time believing they wouldn't fire up the LTE network however - but that remains to be seen.

Columbus is a Samsung market. Samsung tends to bring LTE up first in their deployments. Alcatel Lucent is the NV OEM that usually starts with 3G. GMO sites will start with 3G only in the Columbus market. However, full build sites are very likely to be LTE first.

Progress!!!

 

This is the site at 556 Norton Rd. I drive by it everyday to and from work. A new cabinet was there on a trailer this morning now it looks like the cabinet is inside and they are working on it. I'll try to get a better picture later. I snapped this with my iPhone while driving down the road.

Awesome!! I figured that was going to be one of the first ones as was one of the first permits for Columbus pulled. I actually stopped by this tower a few weeks ago. Then I stopped in a really scary gas station by it after.

 

Keep us updated!

Apparently the flickerings were on east side. Farrrr east. Newark/Heath they've had some work done and then ppl started getting patchy 4g. I can tell more detailed in PM

Calling Newark/Heath the "east side" is pretty generous, considering they're not even in the same county. Drat.

 

Hoping things are getting in motion closer to home, though. I'm in the OSU area and my 3G has been consistently abysmal. No signs of improvement in my neck of the woods.

Not seeing anything on Sensorly yet. If you're a member here, you could post more details in the Ohio specific thread in the member side.

 

Starting in Newark or Heath wouldn't be surprising for me given Sprint's track record of starting at the outside and working their way in. Though that is pretty far out.

Actually, you want to hear that. Central Ohio market will be affected but instead of the usual rollout from inside the market to the out, however we here will be outside and then in. Look at central Indiana perfect example. Muncy then Indy

Feel free to check out the sponsored section (Columbus, OH Permits) in which I've posted some new permits that are in fact pulled in Newark, OH. Earliest permit was pulled in early February. It's possible although unlikely that the work is already done.

I live in Granville, on the edge of Newark and 5 minutes from heath. Let me know where they got the signal and I'll map it tomorrow in my day off.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where their is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
