I see your first lte sighting September 25... Columbus hasn't started yet, what's up the normal time frame from the start of NV and getting the first lte signal?

There is no exact formula for time frames, but it seems to be 2-3 weeks on a tower from start to finish. There are several variables that can change this drastically.

They do not seem to be doing any blocking either. All towers that have been accepted are still a go. I am quite impressed at the rate they are going.

Yea they are moving pretty good. For the life of me i cant get connected after loading up kentucky ave/465 to Rockville anymore though......must have been a test thing but it was late at night like 1am. ...so is there a definite word on what areas have it constantly yet?

Getting LTE at 116th and Allisonville Rd. My phone picked it up on its own! Last time I got a signal here I was in the parking lot and I had to force it to connect. I think I might be on a different (closer) tower this time.

I picked up the Camby tower and went all the way down kentucky and picked up the 465 and kentucky tower. I lost it soon as i got on the highway then picked up the tower thats off Minnesota between Washington and Sam Jones like 1/4 mile east of 465.

I went through 116 and Allisonville Rd tonight and something else has been lit up since the last time through. I got a signal all the way south to 96th and all the way west to hazel dell. When I have more time I'll map it better.

There are live sites at 96th and Hague, and at 126th and Hazel Dell

is there a tower in between? I wasn't able to make it that far north with a signal from the I-69 corridor a week or so back.

Tower just south of 116th and Allisonville Rd is live. I was drowning in LTE goodness all day at work.

I see yo u are using cincy server. Have you also noticed that the Indy and Carmel server SUCKS. I use carmel a lot but its so up and down. Maybe i should try that Cincy one.

I am usually so excited to see LTE that I just go with whatever server Speedtest picks by default. It's kind of embarrassing the strange goofiness that overcomes me when I discover an new signal. Nobody at work seemed to care nearly as much as I did. I also happen to be the only one at work with a Sprint LTE phone.

So are yall toggling airplane mode to get it to switch over or no? Sometimes mine will switch on its own other times i can drive 5 miles in coverage and it not switch. I know there are some issues with it switching so im curious.

Mine will switch eventually. Today it took over 5 minutes to switch over while standing still 2 blocks from the tower. Usually I just toggle because I am to impatient/frustrated to wait.

    • 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?
