It's been pretty slow around here lately.

 

Is that a new area in Del Mar on the 5 fwy?

 

I think that I picked up 10 points there earlier this week, wasn't 100% sure of the location.

Hi Sprint users! My first post. Has anyone picked up any Sprint LTE signals in Encinitas yet? I'd love to check myself, but unfortunately I only have an Apple 4S until upgrade time in a few months.

 

Hi all. My first post to. I work in Encinitas on El Camino Real, a few blocks down from the El Camino Real/Encinitas Blvd intersection. When I'm over there, I get faster 3G speeds with full bars. I'm also wondering if LTE is ready to launch there. I see LTE was mapped on the 101 in Encinitas, and noticed 2-3 speed upgrades to that tower on Sprint map.

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum location. There's a tower about a mile or so from my house in Oceanside. It's located at an RV storage, and noticed it for the first time earlier this week. Quicker 3G speeds and full bars, but at home it's the opposite. Any tower experts can confirm or not this is a Sprint tower?

I also noticed this tower on a route I take to Vista. It's located on the 76/E. Vista Way intersection. 3G speeds are fast, and full bars.

Yeah, I was looking for a sleeping emoticon...

 

No news is bad news around here. Maybe there will be an explosion of new purple blobs any day now.

 

The site off Mission Gorge Road is still active. It's actually on the back side of Adventure 16 if you want to go look at it. In fact, it is the only site my phone actually connects to without having to toggle airplane mode, so that's good news.

I had 4g while driving on 8w near SDSU

 

If you haven't done so yet check Sensorly for all your tasty purple 4G goodness:

There is getting to be so many purple blobs it's hard to tell the new ones that pop up if they're not on a part of the map that you're familiar with. I live by SDSU and work in Clairemont, so I know those two area really well. Keep an eye out for those new blobs.

I check their site here and there. Seen all the lte spots. I wish the sdsu campus was in coverage.

I posted some new San Diego LTE sites to the Sponsor map on Sunday night.

It just uploads when it uploads. I'm sure it will be there by tomorrow.

You can force it to upload in the details menu. Sometimes it gets stuck.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets.

    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
