Id think once all the towers are at full capacity it will. Has anyone with an EVO tried changing the LTE scan and how did it affect the battery for you?

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 was mapping on Sensorly this morning by the track on 16th if you want to check it out. Anyways if you look at my screen shot i got an R where the triangle would be if i were to roam. I only got this when i was at the edge of coverage. What could this mean? Ill post pics of the tower in my next post under this.

It happened a few times to me in Texas. It means you are roaming on 1x, but still connected to Sprint LTE.

Wow, I am surprised that LTE held out longer than 1x did. Netmoniter was showing that I was connected to the same tower I was pulling LTE off of.

Were you roaming to the same tower? Is that site colocated with other carriers? It is possible that the Sprint 1x was down in the area and that was why you were roaming. Not because you were out of range.

It is a stand alone Sprint tower and Att is next to it. Netmoniter showed myself still connected to that tower when the R came up. I even checjed my logs and confirmed i was on that tower at that time.

This is between Martinsville and Bloomington on the 37. The 1.48 is when I reached about 10 minutes out from Martinsville. Bloomington shows a consistent 1.4Mbps-2Mbps otherwise:

I noticed yesterday on my commute home to Avon that I had LTE from 465 all the way to Raceway. I would've done a Sensorly post, but I'm on the iPhone.

Damn you iPhone!

Just kidding, thanks for the info.

I did some mapping this morning in that area. And a few more. Like 16th st yesterday and the one by Washington and 465 today. The site is off highschool between 10th and Rockville.

Wow Indy is blowing up with LTE I will be doing a lot of mapping on the south side once I get my gs3 today can't wait

I know! I'm hoping to get down there this weekend. coverage is popping up all over Indy. Nothing out here in Lafayette but its nice knowing we are in the middle of two LTE markets so we should see some action in the near future.

I am having difficult time getting lte in spots I was b4, is sprint blocking sites or is this evo lte garbage?

Sprint blocking sites, maybe...

EVO LTE radios garbage, most definitely.

 

What sites? If they are north side I will happily go check them out.

Everywhere I get LTE signal, I only get it for that day and it seems to get turned on every once in awhile. I am guessing they are turning on these sites as they are working on them to test the new implementation, then turning them off when they are done to stand by for the big launch date! Just my guess.

I am still getting lte on every site that sensorly shows and the ones that are finished and accepted by sprint. I dont beleive they have blocked any so far

I don't want to seem ungrateful but I hope the speeds get faster then 17 MB down just saying I hope they are not completely finished in my area. My buddy gets 50MB down here on att consistently

There is nothing you could do that you would need more than 17mbps let alone 50. Sprint depkoyed only on 5mhz verse att 10mhz. So Sprints max is 37.5mbps and obviously AT&T is twice that.

I guess we're all just Sprint fanboys but what could you possibly need 50mb/s for on your phone? My home connection is 20mb and I have no use for it?

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
