I got it to lock again and tried to do a speed test' date=' but I lost the signal in the middle of it. I can't seem to get it to lock again to run sensorly.

 

Edit: I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus not the Ego LTE.[/quote']

 

Heh, heh, heh. He said "Ego"...

I was back in the same part of town tonight and locked back on to an LTE signal. This stretch of HWY 64 near Germantown Pkwy is the only place in the city that I have been able to get a 4g signal. This time I'm running sensorly so hopefully I can provide Robert with some useful info.

I see one small LTE blip now in Sensorly off I-40 & exit 16 (North Germantown Pkwy) north of Cordova that I think might be akin to what you're talking about, its a little south of Hwy 64 though.

 

Edit: Should point out that you have to zoom in a bit to see it, it didn't show up for me when pulled back to the entire initial national view.

Looks like Memphis is building steam. Looks like coverage is starting in north Mississippi also.

 

I was hoping someone would come along. This thread has been dead for awhile. I was wondering if all the Sprint folks fled Memphis. :lol:

Yea just got LG optimus g yesterday. Awesome phone so far. While i was in the store I spoke to a guy that is in memphis upgrading the towers. He said it is going slower than it was supposed to be. Anyways from all the info i have read on this site and some interviews with sprint guys on youtube i believe that once this network is complete we will have one of the best overall networks. All the disappointment was worth it. I do know that they have come all the way down I-55 into northern MS. I am waiting to see if they have upgraded the tower I use off Starlanding Rd. I will try and get some pictures of it and post on this thread soon.

I have family there... in fact when I was last in town last month my mom's house was just on the fringe of LTE coverage (sometimes I could get it in the driveway, but usually it cut out just as I turned onto her street). I'm also responsible for the Sensorly smudges northeast of Olive Branch/southwest of Collierville, due to the tower out near Forest Hill-Irene & Shelby Drive, I think.

Yesterday I drove down Tchulohma all the way to 302 and registered 4g all the way til i drove over 302. I uploaded results on sensorly but they still havent updated. Do they have to have more than one person register 4g in an area before updating map. Is there a way for me to resend that info?

Sensorly can be slow to update at times; you may also need to zoom in and out of the area for the map tile cache to update.

 

Also, it's possible your info didn't upload right away; if you have a large number of "messages to send" on the Details screen, Sensorly's data collection may have been down.

Its nice to be finally be able to ride around and get 4g most of the time. I need to do some more speedtest. Anyone else been pulling numbers for memphis?

Finally got some real LTE in Olive Branch last week after my ice hockey game. Best speeds I've seen in Desoto County so far. 27Mbps Down and 8.3Mbps Up at 9:19pm from the tower in OB off Hacks Cross. I was less than a mile from it.

 

 

There was major cable trenching from Southaven to Olive Branch along Goodman Rd the past few weeks. It looked to be fiber(orange) and black conduit.

 

Just the other day I saw this site that isn't listed as "In Progress" with cables and pulley's hanging off of it. I don't have pics so I can't post about it in the Report In Progress thread. This site wasn't far from the trenching either.

 

Getwell and Goodman

 

Let the Sensorly mapping continue!

Anyone know who is laying the fiber? I hope this means i can get real high speed internet and dump my satellite internet. I miss comcast internet everyday. Without ot I cant start my new vpn project.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
