LTE in south raleigh still on... (on 401 near wake tech comm college). however it does not extend into the college campus. grr.

Lol, what does? Wake Tech is in a cell dead zone pretty much. Especially in the engineering and automotive buildings. Even with ATT I barely got service in the shop.

Looked through the Greenville permitting system again and I'm still finding tons of new T-Mobile upgrade permits since June. Sites that have been sitting with only Band 2/66 are getting backhaul and a

Has anyone in N. Raleigh (Near Creedmoor Rd & Crabtree Mall) been having issue with data? Ever since yesterday morning and this morning on my way to work, I couldn't get data. Only the upload light would light up and not the download light, so I couldn't get anything to work. Refreshing the Profile doesn't work, neither does restarting the phone either. When I get near downtown it refreshes itself and starts working again.

I noticed that LTE was off in North Raleigh this morning and I was getting alot of 1x in the Rex area last night.

I work near 540 and Six Forks. Been getting LTE consistently when I'm outside the office building. Also been getting some LTE along 540 near Leesville. It drops out heading east until I get closer to Six Forks.

 

Running speed tests I am only getting average 9 down and 5 up.

Something is wrong with a few of their towers

And some definite dead spots.

Take your phone up leesville to the four way stop sign at Mt Herman church.

You will have almost full bars, but will lose data.

Every time.

Tried with my s3 and the wife's evo 3d

They really need to "fix" things instead of putting them in this crazy stage

They turned 4g on at the ray Rd tower the other day, but had nothing setup to route the data.

I have never gotten LTE in that area. Always in those area, especially Leesville and 540 heading into Durham. In Cary LTE picks up pretty well, in spots of course.Also, have seen LTE in Charlotte and Huntersville Areas. Haven't seen anything in Raleigh, Morrisville, or Durham. Guess I miss it by the time I look at my phone.

I got it on 401/capital from i-40 all the way to wake tech main campus.

 

 

I wouldn't get discouraged, this seems par for the course.... I am in DC/NoVa right now, and Sprint LTE is sporatic, and sparse.... This same thing happened when Verizon launched LTE... they dont light up the entire market at one time.

I believe 540 and Six Forks was one of the first upgraded towers in our market.

Expect things to be in a state of flux for a bit. Also, any LTE that we get right now is not official. Whats the cross st on the Ray road tower? Edited by centermedic

Hehe.

Have you noticed a lot of random cars, etc behaving strange around there?

Turning around, pulling into spots, going back and forth from the fire dept, church and old graveyard?

 

(There are portals at each of those for Ingress, and they are very contested. :) )

I probably go by there about 5 times a day now.

I know a guy in a tow truck was going back and forth this morning. :)

Really? I played ingress when it fist came out, got to lvl 7, almost lvl 8, but havent played since like Nov. Are you talking about HoneyBadger, (that was his name then) we used to play together. I see his truck there several times a day. There were NO portals around there when i stopped playing except Brier Creek Cemetery.

 

Now that they have portals that close to home I might have to fire it back up and help the enlightened out :)

      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....
