Ok. I'm learning quite a bit here today. Somebody explain this one. I live near Carroll and I have an EVO LTE phone. Today I had it on a stock rooted rom at home and I was getting 1xRTT earlier today. Then I switched back to my CyanogenMod Rom and I was getting 1x800 - still in my house. I was accessing the same exact tower (6241-6297 Columbus-Lancaster Rd. NW, Carroll). It's the one behind McDonalds just off 33 and Winchester Rd.

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

Any honeycrisp apples left at Lynd's? :) 310 is the "buffer" between Moto/Samy towers so you are lucky to have had any usable service at all!

Those went for sale and gone yesterday. So sad. I had NV EVDO from the cell next to the farm. I noticed it was a GMO. 800 blooped once but I couldn't get it long enough to see where it was. I went south on 310 and coming to patalaska I connected to the Marcy Rd tower. Really surprised at that considering the hills between me and it. I had hoped to maybe snag a granville cell.

Luck of the draw. The stock PRL makes both 800 and legacy the same priority. Likely you were picking up 800 and nit 19. When your phone restarted. youre likely to stay on 800 until you get out of range of it and the phone scans PCS.

 

Cyanogenmod uses whatever PRL that was loaded.

Someone posted about the cloverleaf for 70/256. It kinda looks like NV antennas on it. They're so high though. Who hasa SLR/DSLR that can get some pics? Anyone daring enough to get up in the vicinity of the site for some pics?

I spoke to a tower climber that said he and his buddy were in town from Detroit and thaey were installing Sprint LTE on this site. That was 2 weeks ago and I seen them there working for about 3 days, then nothing. When I mentioned it here, all the replies said there was no Sprint on that tower. I really hope they weren't messing with me. That would be an insane improvement for that area.

There was an LTE update this past week according to the acceptance report thread, but I don't know where it was.

We know where it is :D

Is the LTE sprint is putting up now LTE 1900 or LTE 800? In most buildings I don't get reliable 3G signal.

1900 for now, your LTE reception should be roughly the same as what you currently get for 3G until we get 800 LTE.

Shouldn't our current 3g foot print improve a bit with NV 3g and fiber back haul?

I'm more concerned with building penetration. Wimax is terrible at that and 3G seems kind of spotty

LTE 1900 will not be the same coverage area that EVDO 1900 provides. The same is true with comparing EVDO to 1x.

Sprint may be in trouble. Apple just announced the iPhone 5c which will have more LTE bands than any other smartphone. And the Iphone5s. I've seen post with people selling their Sprint products and jumping ship all because of LTE Deployment. Sure it's techies tho

Has 3G near Easton taken a real nosedive or is my EVO finally giving up the ghost? I used to get fairly reasonable service at work and the last few days have been horrific. Data will just disappear and my voice shows as "roaming".

I'm not sure that would have any negative effect on Sprint. The new iPhone will support LTE 1900 and 800. By the time LTE 2500/2600 is worth using Nationally there will be 1 or 2 new iPhone released.

Too many people in the area. Until one of the two sites go LTE launched you're not going to see a change for the better.

And those new iPhones will be around for a while unfortunately.

      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....
