I am starting a new thread to track live LTE Shentel sightings here. We will add these locations to the NV Sites Complete map.

 

We currently have one confirmed LTE location confirmed in Hagerstown, Maryland at: 39.64,-77.70

 

Please post your Speed Test screen shots which show your GPS Coords, like this one:

Shentel coverage areas run along the I-81 corridor from Southern Virginia, through Western Maryland up in to Central Pennsylvania around Harrisburg.

DCC233 - Yes, I am quite heavily involved with cell site hunting and doing Sensorly mapping. I have done over 90% of the Sensorly mapping around Chambersburg myself. (Also some other towns, cities,

Since Sprint doesn't officially say they have LTE coverage in this shentel area it's likely they are just testing it for now, right? Is it likely they will end the coverage before they are ready to officially support LTE in this area? I saw them say something to that effect about LTE coverage in San Fran when people started to report having it. Just wondering before I choose the carrier for my next phone.

Shentel is just in a testing phase, so LTE coverage will be in and out for a little while. But it shouldn't be too long before it is on permanently. It will start with just a few sites. And then coverage will grow over the weeks and months.

Mine in Hagerstown goes in and out a lot.

Went to dinner at Dukes in Wormleysburg with the wife. Her SIII picked up LTE, my EVO wouldn't. Guess that lends some credence to the EVO criticisms. I have a speedtest I'll post in a bit, ~11mb down, forget the upload, she's on her phoone right now. Couldn't pick it up in downtown Harrisburg however, so it definitely is going through periods of being blocked/unblocked.

Shentel turned on another LTE site. Upgraded an old site to Network Vision with LTE.

At Ringgold, Md just northeast of Hagerstown, Md.

I drove by it in several directions and it shows on the Sensorly Map.

 

28-29 meg down and about 12-14 up sitting along the road next to the site.

 

Located near 13840 Smithsburg Pike (Route 64), Smithsburg, Md. in an apple orchard high on a hill.

While this site has a Smithsburg address, it does not really reach into the village of Smithsburg.

The site(s) covering that village is not converted to NV yet.

So it would appear that Shentel is taking the same approach as Sprint(outside of Chicago) and is hitting sites all over their footprint, rather than focusing on one area at a time. We have sites upgraded in Lebanon, PA, Harrisburg, PA, Hagerstown, MD etc.

I've picked up LTE in Front Royal, VA, Stevens City VA, and in the lower part of Winchester, VA. While it hasn't been full coverage, the speeds average from 10-16Mbps down and around 5-10Mbps and peaking at 20Mbps down.

I've been seeing an Alcatel Lucent van 2-3 times a week for the past few weeks.

This is great news. The next time you get LTE signals in these areas, if you could run the Sensorly app and plot these areas, we would really appreciate it. It's how we track new coverages in Shentel areas. Thanks!

Bakedc4-- YES, as Robert just said in the previous post, grab the Sensorly App from the app store, It is Free. Boot it on your phone and click on "Map Trip" Do this when you are out traveling around especially any area that you know has 4G. It will use your phone to record the locations of the 4G and post it on the Sensorly Map. When you get home, then take a peek at the Sensorly map on your PC. This app does use your phone to collect the 4G data and send it to Sensorly. You have to allow GPS to function on your phone and be willing to allow the program to report the data to the web site.

Two helpful hints --- Plug your phone into a power cord if you do this for hours as it does take some power although not real excessive. Remember to turn off Sensorly when you are not using it.

 

I have been doing this around Hagerstown, Md and a cell site just N.E. of there. Take a look on Sensorly at what just one person can do. I had talked to a Lucent technician and it probably was the one you seen. He mentioned several sites in your area but he did not volunteer any exact site names or villages.

Unless something happens to change plans last minute, I'll be making a road trip to (Friday) and from (Monday) the Harrisburg PA area by way of I-40/I-81....I'm going to try and keep Sensory active the entire trip up and back, so I may catch some Shentel areas along the way (particularly Winchester area that's mentioned if its live and reaching as far as the interstate). Will also make a point to have it on/mapping if I end up doing any driving in H-burg proper.

I think what i picked up in lower Winchester/Kernstown may have been coming from Stevens City as I only connected when I was facing towards Stevens City. I couldn't pick up a lte signal on I81 between Winchester and Stevens City.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      By JossMan · Posted

      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?
