LTE (or eCSFB) is out in bay area this morning.  My phone had no signal around 7-8:30am, and now it's got 3G but frequently starts roaming.  Normally, I'd be pissed, but after reading this board, outages usually mean good things are coming.

 

I have seen a lot of the same over the past week or so... lots of roaming where I normally would not, many times no LTE where I normally would have it, and having a terrible time making/keeping a call in certain spots where I would not normally have that problem (although the last item has been happening in an area where data is terrible so I have been thinking it's just intermittently part of the deal in that area).

B41 all over the 49ers new Levi's Stadium. I was there from 9am until the game ended and I held B41 the whole time.   In the morning I peaked at 40 mbps and during the game it was about 6-9 mbps. I

I added some 4g on 280 today on my way to santa Cruz. Didnt go all the way to 17 but almost. Added like half a mile more to what was already there. I'll see if there's more tomorrow I can do.   Sen

Held B41 from mission blvd exit on 680 all the way to Almaden expressway exit on 87. Even there I had b41 until best buy.   I was surprised at the range of the B41 signal. Good stuff today in south

Yea, Sprint always seems to leave downtown for last. SF, SJ.  Even look at downtown Chicago in the loop.  Many towers that are not touched yet.  I'm following the Omaha, NE market, and these guys went from nothing in Oct to pretty much done today.  Sounds like we're still at least 6 months away from proper coverage.  

 

Coverage in SF is pathetic, and you can drain your phone in less than 10 hours just carrying it around.  SDV/SLTE help drain battery twice as fast.  

 

I'll add Downtown Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn in NYC to that list. But that was due to Hurricane Sandy, 2 years ago. Verizon had to upgrade all infrastructure, including fiber, in the area. Now these areas are getting LTE very quickly.

I live right next to City Hall in downtown SJ. Only seeing very lousy 3G at my place, and in a 4 block or so radius around me. I have noticed that down in Willow Glen or up in Milpitas that there is great LTE coverage. Guess they're taking their sweet time in northside and horace mann.

where?  and what speed?

B26 was a false alarm. it said B26 but I was never on B26.

 

B41 by 280 but it throws you off right away because of issues still needing to be resolved in South San Jose. Once they're solved you'll be connected on B41.

Do you mean eCSFB issues?

South San Jose is shaping up much better. Not as good as cities like Fremont, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, or even North San Jose but it's getting there.

 

Connected to a couple of B41 sites without any problems. Didn't force my phone on LTE only mode so that's a rally good sign. I'll be down her soon to see how things are going on.

For no good reason, I checked the coverage map at coverage.sprint.com, and it shows that pretty much ALL of San Jose should have LTE coverage right now.  I am still getting 3G in the south half of San Jose, for the most part.  Is it worth opening a ticket with Sprint support?  In the two months since the cluster launch of NV sites, and since the official LTE launch of San Jose, nothing has changed in terms of my experience on the network.

Go for it. Be sure to use street corners and addresses instead of tower id's from this site.

I was surprised at the range of the B41 signal. Good stuff today in south SJ. Huge improvement over how it was.

Anyone in south Monterey county "Soledad area" know if the towers have LTE? I know sprint has a tower across the 101 from Soledad and has great coverage where I live.

 

Donate some money to this site and you have information on all the towers in this market and across the country.

 

I know many are just 3G accepted just waiting for the back haul to start broadcasting LTE

B41 all over the 49ers new Levi's Stadium. I was there from 9am until the game ended and I held B41 the whole time.

 

In the morning I peaked at 40 mbps and during the game it was about 6-9 mbps. I easily sent texts, emails, loaded Web pages, posted on IG, vine, fb, and all that fun stuff. Everything would load fast.

 

My signal was between 102-113 dbm in the game. Never fell back on 3G. Beyond impressed with my service! The stadium was packed as well.

Just waiting on confirmation from Rob but I think the switch for LTE in Gonzales has finally been flipped. I was getting full bars a 1/4 mile from the tower. Although I don't get LTE from home. Exciting

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
