Network Vision/LTE - Northern & Southern Connecticut Markets (includes all cities)

I feel like there's no winning with Sprint. Ever since that LTE site went live, my phone is constantly struggling with a steady connection. It just toggles back n forth heavily between 3G and 4G, sometimes even 3G to 3G (Ehrpd to Evdo). What is Sprint doing activating one tower a city and moving on to the next?

Nada at Bradley, you will get some blips driving to New Haven, but you won't get too much until you are in New Haven. I don't know how good it is there, but should be some to use. Hopefully.

Tower at Bradley Airport still hasn't seen work, but picking up 800 from a tower broadcasting it somewhere near Enfield, has been on all day. Anyone else seeing some 800?

After a quick drive around this morning, I was able to confirm the 800 is coming from the LTE accepted tower in Enfield. I might have to go to a stock prl, because this little bit of 800 is painful without more to support it.

Mapped some new coverage in Suffield Center.

I mapped a little of this coverage this morning too. Its definitely active on the site in Suffield. Just not accepted, yet.

Edit, the site is accepted, my mistake.  Great news.  Hopefully they can get some LTE lit up at Bradley soon.  The Suffield and Enfield ones just dont make it.

Any switches have already been flipped. LTE coverage has reached about 40% of the population, so Sprint is officially announcing New Haven as an LTE market. However, this does not mean you can expect complete LTE coverage. Work is not complete, and crews will continue to work until the network is complete.

Very interesting. It might not shut off, the Enfield one is still singing 800.

 

Are you In the hospital? Or jut near it's wifi? I have to go to the health center tonight for a class, so I'll be watching for some 800.

I caught them 800mhz testing the tower by west farms mall a few months back. I usually roam all the time here, so it's going to be great one 800 goes live

(any idea when there'll be enough to do that?)

After a bunch of 800 testing today, sitting on my couch, I got the good old LTE alert from signal check. East Windsor tower near exit 45 on i91 is broadcasting now. Hasn't even gotten it's 3g acceptance yet. Makes sense though because backhaul to the site was already done.

 

Waited for LTE at home for a while. Only thing now is too map it lol

is the LTE on or did you happen to catch some testing?? i switched over to my iphone 4s on friday because there is only LTE at the mall on the west side, and according to the s4gru map its still a 3g tower, and when i last spoke to a rep LTE wasnt sappose to be anytime just yet but active by the end of the year...will have to go back to my htc one and do some investigating.

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
