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

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

Vallejo is north of San Francisco, and nowhere near the south bay.

 

I lived in Solano County for almost 10 years. We considered ourselves apart of every city in Northern CA. We were part of Sacramento and the Bay Area. Legends in our own minds. Don't you know how important we think we are???

Hey Robert, this is the second week there have been no updates in the South Bay. Are we running into the same problems (difficult sites/permitting) that the SF Bay market is running into, or is there something else you might know of?

 

Thanks for any insight!!

I have no idea what the issue is. I'll do some asking around and see if I can get some info.

Any update on when salinas,ca goes live?

 

No. They are just starting to work in the area. You may have one site in the next 45-60 days. And then each additional one every month or two after that. That's my guess

Anyone get any LTE near Aromas on the 101? I'm going down to Monterrey tomorrow and I saw there is an accepted LTE tower near there but no one reporting on Sensorly.

 

I've been waiting for that one to appear on Sensorly, or at least someone to report on it. You may be the first. :tu:

Found out nine sites were accepted in the past few days in the South Bay market. One near Salinas, another near Santa Cruz, one in Mountain View, one in Milpitas, one in Santa Clara, one in Cupertino and three in San Jose. More details in the Sponsor section: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/653-network-vision-site-map-northern-californianevada/page__view__findpost__p__100128

So I drove down 101 today. Didnt get any lte until I was on 156. A good stretch of it too. So not sure if it's the new tower to the south or the one in the north of 156. It's not showing on sensorly. I hope it'll show up tomorrow.

What does "near salinas" mean.... Is it north or south or salinas...or are we lucky enough to have it in town?

 

Exact locations are discussed in our Sponsor threads and shown on our Sponsor maps. For more information about how to become a S4GRU Sponsor, you can go to this link: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1195-information-about-s4gru-sponsorship-levels-and-how-to-become-a-sponsor/

So close to my house! I live 5 min from 68/Reservation off of River RD. I need to get a LTE Android phone so I can help out. I just used my upgrade to get the 5 when it came out. Anybody know where I can pick up a cheap Android LTE phone?

I dont think its live yet. I was right under it and cycled airplane mode and nothing. So i guess i hit that new one in salinas for all of 156. I guess thats why it hasnt shown up om sensorly yet.

Why is there a massive hole in 4G LTE in south San Jose? Do the poor people not get LTE as quickly? haha

 

Two additional sites went live in that area last week. Sprint contractors work on each site the moment it is available. They don't play favorites with neighborhoods. We see just as many complaints about Sprint starting in poor neighborhoods and ignoring the better demographics. Neither is true.

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
