By my count, the Network Vision Site Acceptance Report Updates page on this site list 7 accepted LTE towers in Cincinnati, but I only see 6 on Sensorly's coverage map. Does anybody know where the 7th tower is?

Sensorly is showing that I am reporting 4g at my address and while I do occasionally see eHRPD signal, I have never seen any 4G. I will say that along 747 just north of 275 and Tricounty it is ROCKIN!

if you still have the epic 4g touch that is a wimax phone you wouldn't be able to use lte with it

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the tower servicing the east side of Downtown Cincinnati near 5th St?  It frequently becomes completely non-functional, often for days at a time.  I am then shunted off to roaming.  If I disable roaming, I get no service.  The tower details from my engineering screen: SID: 4390, NID: 70, Base ID: 1521.  I called and reported it (again) and now it's going on and back off again.  Anyone have any experience like this?

Got a picture of what I believe is the LTE tower serving West Chester and Sharonville. Taken from 275 E

 

I'm starting to think that one isn't a Sprint tower. I was just at Dave and Buster's on Saturday which is only about a quarter mile from there, and I basically got zero reception inside. I don't get must inside Tri-County mall either, which is about the same distance in the other direction.

I actually got 4G for about 5 minutes on Monday night in Fairfield twp around 6pm. My cell signal is so bad that Sprint sent me an AirRave. I got that connected tonight and no more missed calls for now.

If your phone is set up for automatic mapping, it's going to be difficult to locate LTE. When Sensorly is running it's constantly sending/receiving data. When you're phone is in an active data session it doesn't look for LTE. It's like phone calls before call waiting was invented. Gotta hang up before you know your HS crush is calling.

 

LTE Discovery app w/upgrade fixes this issue as it Resets your connection constantly when not connected to LTE.

 

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

Chip in some beer money to keep the lights on in this place and you'll have direct access to the information.

I have been roaming quite a bit last several weeks right in the middle of downtown

    • https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.
    • 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 priced 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.
