Network Vision/LTE - Cincinnati Market

[js4gru]

Quick question... Does any spark phone work on the active lte towers in the area? I have the g2, no spark update yet, and it doesn't stay connected... shows for a second once in awhile.. Or are all the current lte towers still waiting on eCSFB updates....

All LTE connections are problematic to Triband devices without being connected to CSFB.  Regardless of Band.

So the update will only help the 11 markets that are spark? Arg...was wanting to lock onto band 41..since these are closer to completion in the area

Not sure I follow...

 

Tri-Band devices need eCSFB to be in place, once it is they can connect to any LTE that is available, be that Band 25, 26 or 41.

I figured out how to get my phone in LTE only mode. Here's the signal information from the tower I picked up in Fairfield by Mercy hospital.

I'll have another post when I get home; I can pick up LTE there too.

Thats the one just north of Tricounty and it is a bad tower. You will get 4 times the speed at the one just west of Trenton.

Much better here

Please do not post poor speed tests. Zero always looks like zero. Yes, the legacy network sucks. We all know.

Look at the latest map and someone please tell me why Dayton is almost solid green and only the east side of Cincinnati is getting any attention? This is becoming ridiculous.

Yes, because it was first. That's why. Somewhere has to be first and somewhere has to be last. And if I were deciding, I would have selected Dayton first also. Dayton never received WiMax, even.

 

My guess as to why though is because the backhaul vendor in Dayton is much farther along.

 

But rest assured, since Cincy is a Samsung market, your area probably is well under way. Samsung is flying. And if it's not fast enough for you, you have options. But one of things that is not an option for you is to complain here.

according to this http://sensorly.com/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint#q=3565+Vernier+Drive%2C+Cincinnati%2C+OH+45251%2C+USA

 

 

colerain has it

[kdupes]

I was able to get LTE in Colerain only by putting my phone in LTE only mode.

I was not complaining. I was asking why.

You complained it was ridiculous. And I explained why to the best of my ability.

I hope no one in here thinks I am "complaining" about what this site is doing. I have had an AirRave since August because of how bad my service is. The tower closest to me has said "In Progress" for close to a year, meanwhile others that were not even on the map have been completed. There are MANY like that in Cincinnati so it appears they have stopped working at least along I 75. There were 4 completed towers in all of Cincinnati when I joined this site. Now Dayton has 3 times that completed and we have only a few more. If no one here knows why, thats ok. I know you aren't Sprint. I even called the number at Sprint that was posted on here and they will not tell me when my tower will be completed. I will not ask any more questions, make anymore comments, or answer any questions. I am just here for information.

It looks like they may have upgraded the backhaul in Kenwood. I'm not sure how to tell for sure. Up until a week or two ago I was getting under 1Mbps during business hours, usually around .3Mbps. Now I'm getting 1.2Mbps or more. Sprint's network enhancement map shows a voice upgrade within the last 6 months, but the data has definitely improved.
