I like the M7, it does have an issue though, it's tough to keep it focused when taking a pic of the LCD HD screen on my flatscreens.....it gets real bluish in color and bright, washes out the pic sometimes unless I tap focus and click to take the pic real fast....

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

Yes... and no Ohio NFL team is worth bragging about. I mean, WHODEY!

I noticed a crew at the tower on Mt. Moriah Dr. off 125 yesterday.  It looked like they were adding additional antennas to the site.  This location has been broadcasting LTE for awhile now and had 3 antennas but now it has 6.  Any ideas why they added the additional antennas to this site.  The area is not all that dense population wise and most of the housing that this tower is able to broadcast to is at the distance limits from what I remember when this tower went live and did some mapping on sensorly.  I can think of a bunch of other locations that would benefit from additional antennas and this site is not one of them.

Take some pictures and maybe we can see what they did.

Saw some climbers on the tower near Grooms road and 275. Believe that is a Sprint tower but didn't have time to look. Anyone know for sure?

As far as I can tell it is not a Sprint tower.

Yeah as Kdupes said. I don't think that is a Sprint tower. I work very close to that tower and with SignalCheck Pro. I'm connecting to other towers in the area, but not the one on Grooms. I would Upload a screen shot, but I don't know how to get GCI data to pull on my app.

Inside my house, I am getting a weird indicator from SignalCheck Pro...

 

Often the 1x 800 indicator reads between -60 to -40dbm.  However, sometimes I see #?*! for the signal level.  I am assuming it is because it's stronger than -40dbm.  I live about .2miles from the tower, and the panel appears to be aimed in my general direction.

 

I have attached a screenshot of the indicator, top left.

 

Anyone tell me what this means, for sure?

OK Members... what happens if the GCI info on any tower visited/driving through doesn't appear. Does that mean a few settings on my app aren't correct or are the towers not giving the information needed to identify the tower connected to?

 

Hope you guys can answer as I would love to post screen shots but with the correct information

Another gorgeous day in the tri-state.. take advantage contractors, hang those panels, dig those trenches, and haul some culo.... [emoji2][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Yes it is a gorgeous day, low humidity, low 80s, just hope my 4g gets stronger soon but I'm happy to finally have some....

 

Took a gamble with sprint, renewing my 2yr, and I think I may of been right, anyway, look at the beautiful sky here on the,Westside !!ajejudy3.jpg

I do a lot of video uploading to sites like YouTube etc, I would love to see the day where I have consistent UL speeds with sprint of 5 megs or above, heck 5 would be better than what I get with roadrunner broadband with time Warner...get like 3 with them but the download speeds are sweet !

Make sure you have Show Hidden Data checked in the Display settings. I'm not sure which phones can't report GCI 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?
