Network Vision/LTE - Cincinnati Market

Recommended Posts

Just joined the forum, I live in western Hamilton county, in Bridgetown, which is in green township....close to Kuliga park..

 

Getting weak 4 g for about a week here, it will switch from 4 to 3g so maybe I'm on the fringe, or maybe tower upgrades not complete here ?

 

Anyway, here are a few screenshotspost-40195-140488598761_thumb.jpgpost-40195-140488599468_thumb.jpg

I have gotten as high as about 11 megs download and 6 upload before at random times....I'm using the HTC one ( m7 ) , not the brand new one, and I'm on sprint, monthly contract billing...

 

Have noticed better voice and way faster 3 g speeds inside in bad signal Areas like the basement....seems more consistent than previously, hope this first post of mine helps contribute in some way to the forum.

What's the 1x RTT mean and what is EV-DO ? Sorry, I just joined and haven't had time to read up.on all the technical jargon....

 

Edit: forgot to mention, you will notice my near full voice signal bars, I am on the sprint airave, thought I would mention that..

I also have an Airave in Fairfield twp. Welcome to both clubs plasma1!

 

You will find that you will get data from the towers pretty good, but the voice will be horrible unless the Airave is on. When we got these things we were told that they did not support 4G and I assumed that we would not get 4G from the towers as they came up with the Airave on. WRONG. I guess since you can get Data and Voice off different towers now the phone is smart enough to use the Airave for voice and towers for Data. I have to keep mine on or I miss phone calls and the quality is horrible. I am still on the edge of decent voice service where I live.

 

I am about to get a HTC M8.

If you upgrade to a M8, you'll be able to use WiFi Calling when Sprint does the update for WiFi Calling soon. Also, given your location, and the way Ericsson/Sprint/Samsung are firing up 1X 800 and B26 LTE, that could also be a moot point.

 

Overall, things are getting better. No need to be angry at all. Be happy.[emoji2]

Nearly on par with Columbus now. Think the current production rate completion got bumped up from October to September now. All good to see.

 

Cincinnati will never be on par with Columbus. Columbus Rules, Cincinnati Drools!

Meh, you got me there. Your neighbors are from Kentucky though.

    • 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.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
