Seeing some signs of life finishing leftover work being done on the NV towers. The tower on Rt 4 in Burlington at the high school is now broadcasting LTE, also the one in Canton where Rt 44, 202 and 179 meet is finally LTE too. Fairly recent turned on, just went thru the Canton one within the last month and was definitely still 3G. Mapped it on Sensorly.


I've noticed faster LTE acquisitions near 69 as well. I assume it's due to the high school.

Got my fastest n41 speed test ever on a pretty unassuming macro while driving on the Wilbur Cross Parkway in Woodbridge, CT on Friday. Was stuck in a bit of traffic and ran a speedtest and got nearly

I traveled and mapped on Sensorly from Chestnut Hill, MA to New Haven and dropped LTE in that one spot along I-84 right by the MA/CT border. I wonder what it'll take to get Sprint to fill that last coverage hole in. Additionally, I spotted 10x10 Band 25 just outside of New Haven but as far as I can tell New Haven only has 5x5.

I'm also experiencing quite a bit of congestion during the day. I'm uncertain if it's a regular thing or if it's just because of the conference going on at Yale that brought in another 1,000+ students from other universities this weekend but the network has been struggling during peak times unlike in NYC or even Boston. When I'm outdoors, I have no issues and speeds are as high as 80Mbps but once I go indoors, it's hit or miss. Luckily it isn't limited to Sprint though because my friends on other carriers were experiencing poor reception or in some cases, no signal at all while I'd have 1-2 bars of LTE indoors.

Upgraded backhaul in Downtown Meriden (West Main St). Was maxing out at 40Mbps a few days ago on 2 channels. Now 140+!

Was a new carrier or perhaps a new site brought online? That's more likely to have caused a change like that versus backhaul.

Any change to signal strength? Do you use Signal Check or any other signal monitoring app to know if you're connecting to a new site?

I have an iPhone. Using the field test and the numbers are the same. Full bars as usual. 

 

The clear tower is a block away from my job.

Interesting, it's possible the change was backhaul. Most sites have had adequate backhaul for some time. They have been adding a 3rd carrier to Clear sites recently. Maybe they are preparing for that.

Is only certain markets Clear sites can do 3rd carrier?

The last generation of Samsung dual-mode RRUs are able to do 3 carriers. Most markets that still have Clearwire B41 should have at least some of those, as the Huawei sites were all replaced with Nokia mini-macros.

The tower is down and was previously band 41 only. I’ll get a better shot tomorrow. 

Sprint is converting a fair number of Clear only sites over to full Sprint sites, so it's possible that is underway.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
