There were hundreds of thousands of people at the Indianapolis 500 race.  When the race was over, many thousands of people try to get for a taxi to get them out of the area.  Taxis have special road r

Do you know what you're talking about? All LTE performance is signal strength dependent. Even AT&T's. You only get 50Mbps on AT&T when you are on top of a LTE site with no one else on it.

I'm now getting eHRPD in downtown Indy. I've been checking my phone every day and today is the first time I've seen it. I also suspect that the tower near my home on the southside (near Southport & Bluff) is in the process of being upgraded. I thought I spotted some RRUs and new antennas the other day, but I haven't gotten around to taking a closer look. Hopefully I can get over there this weekend and take some pictures.

 

I haven't connected to 4G yet and my LTE record is still blank, but that may be due to the fact that I have the LTE-challenged EVO 4G LiTE.

How did you notice eHRPD? I am in b-town and would like to see this occur too!

 

If you're using an iPhone 4S, you won't see eHRPD. You need an LTE capable device to connect to eHRPD. It's basically just the standard EVDO rev A connection that gets routed through the new 4G core so handoffs between EVDO & LTE can be performed smoothly. I'm sure someone who knows what they're talking about can explain it in much more detail.

I saw that I had a iPhone set as my phone as well. I changed it to GS3 probably as you were typing that response. Do you know how you "notice" eHRPD on the phone? Does this manually need to be done via ##DEBUG#?

Well... I have the EVO so I'm not sure if it's the same, but I can go to Settings > About > Network and it will show how I'm connected. I know that Sensorly also shows how you are connected as well. I would imagine that the GS3 has an About > Network page as well.

Without downloading an app, the easiest way is probably to go to Settings -> About -> Status, and it will be under Mobile network type.

I picked it up for a few minutes near the intersection of I-465 & I-70 on the east side this morning.

 

Ya thats right where the tower is. If you look at sensorly its right between 465 and shadeland on 21st street right next to 70. I pulled 25 down right there.

Are you the person doing all of the East side mapping on Sensorly?

No more eHRPD in bloomington. Must've gotten turned off.

 

It will come and go. It does that in every market until launch.

I can attest to Sprint LTE on my iPhone 5 close on the near-east side of downtown. My office is located on Southeastern just off of Washington and I'm currently pulling 22.99 down and 10.45 up.

 

Iphone doesnt do sensorly does it?

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By radem · Posted

      I think it is likely that T-Mobile will be forced to honor any existing US cellular roaming agreements in those areas as a condition of them taking over the spectrum.  In that case, there would be no improvement of service unless T-Mobile improves the service offering in those areas.
