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

So, I never did ask. I installed the app, but wanted to make sure I understood this correctly. So sensorly on it's own will not map out sprint LTE?

 

I have the LTE discovery app now installed, but when I start, it cycles through the connections, it just seems to spend a lot of time kicking the phone into airplane mode. But I am not clear on how it should work.

 

Maybe someone can educate me

The way data works is the way home phone service worked before calls waiting. Sensorly is constantly sending/receiving data. If the 3G data call doesn't break the LTE call can never start. LTE Discovery app keeps placing your phone in Airplane mode until it sees an LTE data call.

 

Today's post has been brought to you by Sprint, the letters GN and the number 2.

Currently there's 3-5 guys on the tower at 256 & Livingston. I believe work is currently going on at the tower off tussing as well. Hopefully some good things to come in the area soon...

 

That area can definitely use some love.  Going to the 256 area is already a frustrating experience even when I don't want to smash my phone on the ground...

Alright, so run the LTE Discovery App and keep it running while mapping in sensorly?

I run it in Cycle while not connected to LTE mode but you do have to do the in app purchase for that mode. Just make sure you don't have it in auto repeat cycle after LTE discovery. Make sure you start trip on sensorly too.

WIP 256 & Livingston. This is all I had time to get.

Those are NV cabinets in the first pic right?!?

No clue. I'm sure the experts here will though.

 

By no means an expert, but those look like NV cabinets.  Being that far away and a little blurry, I can't confirm for sure.  Looks like NV antennas as well.  Are those the full resolution photos?  Maybe whomever you are using cropped / re-sized them?  Thanks again for taking a look at this.

I tried higher resoluton first but it said 1 was too big so I unfortunately reduced it. Probably a bit too much. Sorry for the blurriness.

Oh okay, maybe a link directly to dropbox?  What provider are you trying to use?  I've had the best luck with copying and pasting the image directly from my G+ auto backup.  That is obviously just pictures from my phone though...

LTE handoffs are not happening as great as one would hope in Dallas. Getting knocked back down to 3G and getting stuck there.

800 In Pickerington!

I normally never connect to this tower at work either, I normally get the one on Tussing.

 

EDIT: it seems to be unstable and jumps to another tower I don't recall ever picking up at work either, but is also 800!

EDIT x2: dropped both, back to my normal tower, sans 800 :(

256 & Livingston updated: Hope this turns out less blurry.

All Legacy from what I see. (Wait, why am I not on vacation).

I see the NV antennas, the two RRH's. It's still blurry but I can see that. Those cabinets though, looks like legacy, one is sideways. Why are you not on vacation? Because it's in your blood! You tried disconnecting but you just can't do it, like cutting off a limb.

 

As for Pickerington 800, yes, depending on where you are you can hit both of those. Because the Longview site is on a water tower on a hill it has the better penetration than the one at Refugee/Pick. Rd. Longview would also then have a better S/N ratio being above all those trees.

 

The south Brice cell is tricky to connect to, almost has to be intentional because again the Longview site just romps over everything else. Sitting in Skyline in Canal Winchester I would bounce between Cedar Hill and Longview and never connect to Brice.

Also on the Basil western road site there be tower monkeys again. I was thinking they were taking down the legacy equipment until I saw them with the NV cabinet open. Now I'm thinking either they're tuning or maybe turning on LTE.

Or converting over EVDO. They sometimes do 1x and EVDO separate.

      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 price 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....
