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

[hockeyfamily737]

Yeah I tried mapping it too but as soon as I tried opening up Sensorly it reverted back to 3G. Came back tried again and gone.. Hasn't came back since :'( lol

I actually had my mapping on already, because I never shut it off when I left the Enfield site. I wanted to see if I got a glimpse anywhere else.  So hopefully we'll be able to see it on the map, fingers crossed.

I thought I was losing my mind when I looked and saw LTE on 91 by the Science Center, I had mapping on at the time, but I'm not seeing it on the map yet at any zoom level.

 

 

I mapped some out west of the river on RTE 159, came across the river turned onto Depot Hill Rd and dropped it, picked it back up at the top of Depot Hill rd and went up Mullen Rd to the where you cut across. It didn't hold well at all on Mullen Rd. I had to stop and toggle airplane mode constantly. Had my HTC One and my daughter's S3 with me. My wife swears she had LTE this morning in Windsor Locks on Elm St, but I couldn't replicate her findings.

I had some on 159 in Windsor Locks around noon today, serving Cell info matched king Street, all just bleed over. I did a bunch in Suffield too and more in Enfield. I had two hours I had to kill before I was allowed back home because the family was doing a "surprise" for me and the Mrs after returning from our wedding this weekend :-D

4G?... In Hartford!.... Really? Don't tease us like this, .

 

Hockey, did you make sure it uploaded all the data? I just checked mine since I did some mapping earlier and it had some waiting to upload for some reason.

On your advice, I just checked and had 180 messages waiting to send. I'm still not positive if I actually caught it. Was literally less then 30 seconds between the time I noticed it and got bounced back to 3g.

I noticed I had 4g on 159 this morning in Suffield by Bridge street. Also right on 159 by the prisons and the Suffield- Windsor Locks line. Hopefully they can keep lighting up towers because the area really needs it. Now i'm just wishing that the Springfield market will fill in. Still lots of gaps in the area that has officially launched.

Looks like there is something new mapped just west of the Meadows in Hartford.

Yeah, dstar2002 mapped that the other day. I had it for about 30 seconds on North St in Windsor Locks this afternoon and a couple of random spots on 159 south of the 140 bridge. Haven't been able to connect in Hartford at all since that one little blip the other day, which didn't even show up on the map.

I did that lol.. I could've mapped more but I forgot to manually start sensorly after I left my mom's place. Funny thing is that when I don't need it and am on 3G it starts up on its own like crazy mapping 3G. Now that I need it to auto start it don't lol

Just picked up some 800 in East Windsor, identified as tower in glastonbury. More signs of progress....

They are deff doing work on the tower I top of hunters on west main st Meriden they started today

[hockeyfamily737]

I was able to get LTE on 91 South again tonight and it mapped.  Just north of the Jennings Rd exit heading into Hartford and then again just South of the Founders Bridge heading out of Hartford.  I wish the antennas on this HTC One were a little better.  My daughter's S3 holds onto LTE a lot better, so I think I'll take that to work with me tomorrow night and see if I can get a little more. 

[dstar2002]

The 800 in glastonbury is still on, anytime I go outside my house in my yard I get it in East Windsor. Maybe they are more than testing 800 now. Will have to see what else turns on this week.

They are putting up sprint LTE panel on top of the west main tower

[hockeyfamily737]

Let me ask you guys something.  Given the state of our market right now, anyone thinking about upgrading to a Note 3, considering it's lack of tri-band radio support?  I'm really torn here. I want that gigantic screen and s-pen, and I find it hard to believe that we'll be seing LTE at 800mhz anytime soon, but I sure would be pissed if I was wrong. 

[dstar2002]

I'm skipping the note 3,even though I just spent 6 months planning to get one, until poof, no triband. Get a triband. That's all I'm sayin

That's what my gut tells me too.  I was just curious as to what other people in our market thought.  My knowledge base is mainly on the root, rom, kernel side of things and this is the first time I'm really looking at how to make the most use of the network as opposed to how easily can I unlock my bootloader and build roms.  Basically, my needs have shifted to just having a phone that works lol.

Mapped some new coverage in New Hartford center...

Did you happen to talk to one of the crew members or did you get a good glance at the equipment being installed??

[Timh]

Good glance and I called sprint and they told me that they were installing it and going to be live in 10 or so days.

[Z06VETTE]

Mapped a lot of coverage in the northwest corner of the state yesterday afternoon.

[Student]

So what's going on here? The lte tower in Unionville doesn't broadcast 800mhz?

I live by the tower by the Farmington high school (1720 Farmington ave) and I haven't been able to connect for the past few days... I was trying to see if I could find the guys maybe working on it but I can't find the tower

So why no 800mhz?

I don't think anything in the state has officially started broadcasting 800mhz.

 

Take the tower being down as being a good thing, they are most likely working on it.

[dstar2002]

800 will be fired up in groups. I have caught a TON of testing in the area. If they didn't have adequate coverage people would drop calls going from 800 to 1900 because it hasn't been handing off properly, as discussed in other threads. 800 will be on every tower not in the IBEZ. We arent in the IBEZ for sure

nice timh...i havnt had a vehicle for about 2 weeks so i havnt been able to see anything going on...i drive past that tower everyday bringing the wife back and forth to work but since the the vehicle has been out of commision havnt seen anything, i sure hope they are doing NV upgrades because i have been losing 3g data connection..and that tower is 2nd closest while the hanover st tower is the main tower i hit off of...hopefully its a sign of good things to come.
