Why don't you guys be smart enough to call sprint and complain? You can get stuff done all you need is multiple cases ?

I have called Sprint COUNTLESS times around the Kings Island area and on some months I get a $15 credit. Most of the time they try to say its me and I have to go through a giant laundry list as to why it isnt.

 

We ping off the Soak City tower and let me tell you during park hours ....forget it. You wont even get calls let alone data. 3500ms pings and 5kb down with 0 kb up. After hours data is still a joke but you will get phone calls

You know...I would agree with that statement....just 2 years ago I had a usable signal. I could mow the grass and stream music. Now it seems everyone has a smartphone which brings that tower to its knees.

 

Folks with Att Verizon and even TMo that I know dont have these issues around there so im hoping LTE helps.

 

The problem is that one tower serves all of Kings Mills and the eastern part of Mason as well.

i know verizon cust and att cust complain about that tower being slow or even unusable on busy days but they were on older phones that just had 3g while in line took them 30 min to pull up text scores for the ball game luckily we were in line for 2 hours lol got to love the diamond back lol another problem i see with the tower by kings island is they have an app that is a download hog as well if you want the real time mapping anyway something like 40 megs to download the whole map and it can only be downloaded while at kings island thats probably where the tower comes to its knees cause that app came out last year  i know, maybe even  2 years ago

I also had LTE on Mulhauser Rd. from 747 to Union Centre Blvd.  I had sensorly up, but it doesn't seem any of my data ever uploads to the map.

And you won't see anything on the map from an iPhone

Has anyone following this thread had an lte phone downtown?

LTE has not yet shown up downtown.  I will definitely report when it does :-)  There have been LOTS of times since January that I've had roaming only downtown (sometimes for weeks at a time) and always hold out hope that it's the tower being upgraded.  Sadly, no luck yet.

 

Also, the past few days I've had problems getting the 4G LTE in Hyde Park to show up.  Anyone seen it recently?

I live downtown and work in Newport.  I have 3 LTE devices.  I'll let everyone know for sure as soon as I see it! :)

    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
    • T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
