Network Vision/LTE - Cincinnati Market

Sorry I was quit a bit of distance away because the tower is sitting behind some businesses that I could not get back to so I had to zoom in the best I could. I can't figure out why they have upgraded some of the towers that they did instead of ones with high population/business. The only one close to me is the Richwood tower and that is mainly truck stops and trees. I can pick up the lte from that tower in my neighborhood but as soon as I pull in my driveway it's back to 3g..Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Thats a great question that only sprint knows...

 

I live in Kettering (southern suburb of Dayton) and all 3 towers in Kettering haven't even had permits pulled for them, yet most of Huber Heights has all but one tower 3G, 800 voice and 4G active....very aggravating

Well I'm laying here in bed and switched off wifi on my phone and 4G popped up and then it toggled between 4G and ehrpd..something is going on and I hope it's for the good because I've never picked up 4G in my house before

4G lit up in Milford yesterday, well Day Heights to be precise. 131 and Buckwheat Rd is covered, presumably from the tower at Miami Meadows Park. Laid down some purple on Sensorly. Will try to cover a bit more tonight.

 

At one point had a 30mbps download test on Speedtest.net.

Can anyone tell me the precise locations of the towers that would service downtown?  Would like to be able to keep an eye on them for activity, as Wimax has vanished over the past few days and speedtest can't even complete one test over 3G.  I suppose it could be my GS2 in its death throes, but if not, I'm really starting to question my sanity of waiting for LTE.

 

Anyone know anything about downtown?

Maybe I shouldn't put this here, not sure. But those workers said that Verizon is upgrading 800 towers in Ohio. Wonder what they are doing to their service's?

I would think they are probably adding lte on the AWS spectrum... I thought there were articles about them starting to test it out in NYC or somewhere like that a few months. I will try to find it later and link it for you as an fyi

Here it is, I knew I read something about it.  Some of the guys here were talking about it in one of the main forums too.

I feel your pain.  I work downtown and I haven't been able to locate the towers either.  And there are so many buildings of all sizes, there is no telling if they are actually visible from street level.  If I can make some free time soon, I will try to do a little scavenger hunt for the towers.

That tower has been upgraded for quite a while. It's not turned on though.

 

Four of the five towers that are within the city of Hamilton are upgraded. The only one that is not is the one on Rt 4 near McDonalds.

was at hsp today and they where working in the new cabinets at the base. I know its still on legacy but they are working on it.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
