Fairfield has been horrible the last few weeks.. Dropping calls like crazy.. I assume it's the new Samsung hardware not handing off to the old Motorola or vice versa

Same thing happening in Covington, as soon as I get home I have to switch to CDMA. EHRPD has been extremely unstable for the past week and a half.

So you're suggesting we shut down this entire site since this site is based on that hobby of talking to cell site workers and takings picture of cellular equipment among other things to track the deve

Been seeing some amazing speeds off my local tower the last week or so on B25! This is off the tower I posted pics of a while back with the very first known 8T8R antennas. Some of you will remember th

OK I am absolutely blown away with the difference between my S3 and my son's S5! I would have not been so frustrated with my service had I known. If I didn't want the note 4 so bad I would upgrade

No problem in my part of Fairfield. Calls and LTE have been consistent.

From port union to muhlhauser I'll drop a call and from muhlhauser to 275 on ramp I'll drop a call...could be a tri band phone thing....

Noticed as I was walking back from lunch today that there are workers up on my local tower at Winton and North Bend in Finneytown. I've been waiting a long time to see some activity up there. Looks like they're building the supports now, so hopefully they'll be lifting some hardware into place very soon.

Looks like they've cranked the signal at the Florence Mall tower. It's the first time I get a useable lte signal outside on Turfway & Spiral Dr. Funny cause I'm really close to the Turfway Race track site, however, it's one of the sites that's not been accepted.

Putting my M8 in LTE only mode I managed to get quite a few speed tests in the 60-70 range on band 41 on the west side in the Delhi/Covedale area. This was on Glenway Ave. Tower on N Overlook nearby is putting off band 41.

I managed to rack up 10GB of data usage last month with that. I'm at 6.5 so far this month and have 15 days left...most of my usage is all Speedtest and Sensorly. But the band 41 speeds are incredible. I consistently get over 50, even with just 1 bar.

Yeah, same here, I'd say 95% of my data usage is Sensorly and Speedtest related.  I know lately, especially yesterday at home in Covington I've been getting some Band41 connections, but not long enough to do a speedtest. I am hoping this means things are ramping up in the area.  Damn, I am still at awe with those speeds you are clocking lol.

That is incredible. Any one with a band 41 capable device want to check the speeds in the nilles and river part of Fairfield? Anyone know if there is a way to force lte on the s5?

Let's hope the speeds are here to stay..I've been waiting 2 years for this lol

 

I hope so as well. I let go of VZW's lte two months ago and switched to Sprint, so in some ways I did a temporary(at least I hope) downgrade, and I can not tell you how much I miss LTE, so I am hoping it will not be to long before lte and I reunite under Sprint lol. Keep us posted and if you are ever across the river into Covington throw some speedtests this way, I'd like to see where we stand here.

I head into Covington off and on, I'll probably be there in the next week or 2. I'll run some speedtests when I'm there!

There was an in detail thread regarding it a few pages ago...

 

TL;DR version:

Obtain your MSL number (I called Sprint and told them I wanted to do a factory reset).

Open the phone dialer.

##DATA#

Edit

Enter MSL

Scroll down to MORE.

HDR/1x Selection

LTE Only Mode

OK

Thank you very much! Friend of mine got the s5 recently. He is out of town to Disney right now. I will have him swing over when he gets back and will report back. I have been curious about a supposed spark tower 1/3 mile from my house. Hoping for the best.

 

For previous wimax only sites are there equipment upgrades to be made or are they currently pushing band 41 on the old gear?

Finally am able to switch my phone to LTE Only, picking up band 41 here in Florence, cant wait to the drive home and see what I can trace.

West Newport and Covington are pretty well covered in Band 41. Did some tracking and speed tests on Sensorly. Can't wait for full deployment! :-)

The band 41 speeds are truly incredible. I mean you can't get those speeds on any other carrier with that weak of a signal. I can get about a -120dbm signal and still manage 8-10 down. Can't wait til all of this is officially deployed and the equipment is fully upgraded

You are not kidding! half of the speed tests I did were at one bar or maybe two. Sprint is definitely on a pretty good path here. Seeing all of this does make the wait well worth it. And this is just one band, once band 25 is deployed here, it will be quite nice. I might drive across the river to downtown and see how its shaping up.

Went for a drive through downtown, a mix of band 25 and 41, although mostly 41. The speeds again were quite good for one to two bars. Traced it on Sensorly.

You do realize no one is using the band right now. . Once there is some traffic it will be like the 1900 is now pulling about 1mbps

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
