S4GRU Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Has anyone noticed how fast the Northern market has been climbing up the percentage chart? We're already at 21% and ahead of the Southern market that started way before us. Hope this is a sign that I'll pick up a 4G signal on my Note 2 soon! I think all the Northern CT sites are GMO so far to date. Robert via LG Optimus G using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayTrue04 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Read. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-340-sprint-deploys-special-ground-mount-option-network-vision-sites-in-some-low-capacity-and-high-engineering-locations/ Thank you. After reading that I am a bit disappointed. Now I see why Northern CT is increasing so fast while Southern CT is not. Guess that means the Southern Market is full upgrades. What I would like to know is how to determine wich GMO sites don't get 800mhz support. I really hope these GMO's do the job because 3G has been crap in CT since 2010! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope these GMO's do the job because 3G has been crap in CT since 2010! Right now GMO sites don't get 800 till they come back and do the full build (New panels). But once backhaul is in place 3G well get better and possibly 4G could get turned on at a GMO site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that sensorly shows 4G lit up around Meriden gives me hope that these GMO sites will have 4G up and running soon. At least in my area hopefully!

dstar2002 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So, will none of these early GMO sites get LTE? Or they just may not get 800 LTE? What do you call a setup on a rooftop, like a hotel? It looks like a GMO, just everything is on a roof (no tower) 3g around me is pretty decent, for a while now (before NV), but I am curious of these GMO sites could start throwing LTE in the coming couple of months Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most rooftop sites are full build, but some are GMO's. In the Northern CT market most urban/suburban sites around Hartford, New London/Groton, Mystic, Norwich are full build. But most rural sites in between them are GMO. I think most sites in the Southern CT market are full build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So likely that we won't see upgrades in the hartford area until 2014 ...i've been tempted to buy a wimax phone and table my gs3 Edited March 14, 2013 by Student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying that all the N CT sites deployed to date are GMO. Not all N CT sites in general.

Cugini Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 No signs of LTE in Milford yet, but I did notice today im on EvDo-rev.A:8 instead of the eHRPD I've been getting for the past few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrradic Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Looks like there's more coverage in New Haven!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstar2002 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 So far I must say, based on what I see on the maps, they are definitely hitting the areas needing NV more than those that really dont. Cant wait to see when they start full builds around here. Patiently anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaZinc_ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Came home today and was just looking around on my phone and saw an unfamiliar site lol, Looks like I have 4g Lte in Hamden. Im on the Hamden/New haven line near Eli Whitney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scub Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 well here is a follow-up to this.. i had 4G with full signal at my house for a day, then the next day it was gone.. so i thought maybe they prematurely turned on a tower.. in fact there is 4G coverage just outside of my house near rt 80 in southern CT a few blocks away still, it doesn't make sense how i had 4G one day and gone the next at the same location (my house). another update: 4G is back today, so New Haven / Fair Haven and parts of hamden already have at least 3-4 live towers running LTE.. doesn't appear to be extemely fast as others LTE areas, i'm only getting about 4-6mbit/s but still take it over laggy 3G! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Root Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Any way to know when downtown Hartford upgrades might start and how to keep up to date? I have a good view from my office to observe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z250kid Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 If any one knows the cell tower in Middlebury on 84 between 16 and 17 west bound. There was a pickup truck and trailer full of equipment. They we're on the tower I believe its sprint based on the antennas. I can't go to the site being a interstate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
