The Westside of Cincinnati from Werk & Glenway & down are seeing 4G LTE. I picked a few signs while shopping in the Western Hill Kroger as well as leaving to work this morning. I will be back down later this afternoon to get network speed tests and to map progress. If any one here lives in the West side of cincy, please help confirm this.

I was out today and like yesterday the Dent North tower at the Twin Lanterns is fired up. I also found the tower in Cheviot near St. Martin of Tours church also on LTE. That was a nice supprise. Mapped a lot today. How long does it usually take to show up on the maps?

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

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

With this recent speed test is there any way to identify the band and is this normal speed to be expected? I thought speeds would be a bit faster than this reading. I'm a novice on subject and the site, but I would like to gain as much insight so that I could help contribute on the search of LTE in my area.

I can tell you it was Band 25.  The engineering screen will tell you.  Also, if you can get the GCI in SignalCheck Po, it can be a hint to which band.  As for the download speeds, I'm not sure what the max throughput is for the different bands.

+1. My phone only uses LTE band 25, reguardless of what the idiots at Motorola say. But that is another story.

Mental Note: It's a perfect day in the Tri-state to continue these upgrades in the Tri-state...[emoji106][emoji106]

 

Ask and ye shall receive...

 

Just laid down a bunch of purple all around the main business district in Madeira. Band 25. Speeds were around 30mbps down. Wasn't LTE last time I checked, which was probably a few days ago.

 

This was on a Galaxy S5, not forcing LTE.

Since 7978 beechmont went live with lte a couple weeks ago, there has still been a lot of wprk being done on the tower. New cables ran up and down it last week, today new cabinets being installed (talked to one of the contractors he said they cost about a million each? Also confirmed they were pulling out 3g cabinets and replacing them with 4g) i guess these are just stages of a tower upgrade or is it a false lte signal due to the new panels, but cannot get tje benifit of true lte (b41? Hopefully?) Until all the equipment jas been installed

I've been seeing a lot of new 1x800 voice signals since last night and during my commute this morning.

How can you confirm this? I am really interested to know?

Excellent results on your speed test, this is really promising that network vision in cincy is coming. I wonder if progress is being reported on the report ran every other week or so? When I zoom up to the cincy market, I find a lot out of the 275 Loop has 1/2 or 2/3's of the upgrades. While the inside of the 275 loop has still a ways to go. Let's see what comes from the upgrades on the coming months!

"Cincy" can be a bit deceiving in regards to my test. I'm in the Cincy market, but my tower is about 50 miles/1 hr North of Cincy.

Case point, I think it has been A very slow roll-out but excited to know it's rolling down the 75/71.

      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.

      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....
