Network Vision/LTE - San Diego Market

[bucdenny]

This is where I live and it is bad. And that store is where I bought my note two last week. Lol. According to things I've seen here, it appears NV hasn't touched the San Ysidro towers yet.

 

Yup, 4-5 towers in between the 5 and 805 hasn't been touch in San Ysidro. There are many completed sites with 4G along Palm Ave though. It is getting closer to San Ysidro. Maybe it is in progress. Same in Paradise Hills this month with no activity. The whole area is now 4G this weekend.

 

Become a Premier Sponsor, you will get access to maps with the exact locations of the towers near your area. You can drop by those sites to see if there are any activities.

I didn't know that. Is there a fee?

HA HA. Not a bad idea. I got some nice speeds 3 blocks from the beach (Imperial Beach) on Friday (indoors too).

You only need a small donation to become a sponsor which houses the interactive maps that show all known Sprint cell sites and their locations. Premier sponsor areas has more goodies but costs about $100 to get to that level.

How are the 3G speeds in San Ysidro?

 

in Carlsbad, I have 15 Mbps LTE 20% of the time, 5 kbps 3G 70% of the time, otherwise I have no signal at all.

I donated. More cool features, and more information!

I was in Vista this afternoon, and headed down to Poway taking Gopher Canyon onto the heading south. While looking over Sprint Cell tower map last night, my other plan was to spot towers heading down to Poway. I've seen a couple of these Sprint towers on both sides of the freeway, that were located in odd places such as power polls (on a very windy road on Gopher Canyon), street light polls, along side an Arco gas station, on the backside of a neighborhood, hills, etc....... Will passing by these sites, I only had 3G with full bars, until I reached Escondido on the 15 is where I began getting strong LTE network for a good couple of miles, then back to 3G.

 

Does anyone know if those towers on the 15 begining at Gopher Canyon heading south, just before arriving in Escondido are being worked on for LTE to go live?

Horrible. I just did a speed test a few minutes ago. 223ms response time. DL .07 and .05 UL. In mpbs.

 

I have issues with keeping connected during a call as well as sending messages.

 

Now, imperial beach has a pretty good LTE footprint.

 

Work in progress.

[Marv1]

I see North County is now dead. Is LTE pretty much done in the area, or is it break time?

I'm willing to bet that it's break time. I remember reading in the LA Market thread that there would be times that there would be LTE would be turned on then off for weeks at a time. Then boom a whole bunch of LTE sites would be turned on.

Faraday/College is still on. Two blocks away at my office, there is no signal.

[chrisnieto20]

I don't think speeds anywhere are that bad. On average i always get minimum .3mps and thats on 3g which is tolerable compared to a few months ago when sprint always had .05mps which was definetly not tolerable

[djmatty]

2 kbps was a reality for me at the office.

 

back to 1.5 Mbps 3G.

[bookertdub]

Well, I found some additional LTE along the State Route 56 Freeway. I mapped it on Sensorly from about Black Mountain Road to Carmel Valley Road going westbound which is where it the LTE petered out. It Is only about 3 to 4 miles miles , but heck it's progress. Expect Sensorly to update it within the next 48 hours.<br />

[ptoro]

For the first time, I'm seeing 4G along the 805 North from the Miramar exit to Mira Mesa exit and around the Qualcomm offices in the Sorrento Valley area. I've mapped it and it's visible on the Sensorly map now.

 

I have a suspicion that there's more 4G to be mapped both further north up the 805 (I got off at the Mira Sorrento Pl exit) and around the Sorrento Valley area. I'll keep mapping the area.

 

P.s. For a quick laugh, zoom in on the Sensorly map of the intersection of Pacific Heights Blvd and Pacific Center Blvd.

ptoro, speaking of Mira Mesa exit, don't know if you, or anyone else noticed, but just before the 805/5 split, I'm guessing maybe a few hundred feet or more (let's say I'm heading South coming from North County), you'll see Sprint Tower, and tower full of panels on a hill alongside the freeway that's fenced up. Everytime I pass through, it's always running full LTE strength!

I was going by Mast today and on Halberns there were people working on towers at Carlton Hills Lutheran Church.. It seemed they were working on a tower and from earlier knowledge, it is a Sprint tower. Can anyone confirm this??

[baba booey]

Question: How does it normally work? Do The workers jump around at random or tend to work on sites and move to the next closest site?

Slow around here lately.

 

It seems like they just bounce around. I've been watching the progress since the beginning and I can't discern any rhyme or reason to the order in which they move. I'm sure they have they're reasons though.

 

As things "progress" Sprint's service gets worse and worse though. I know it's the testing phase and that BS, but it's been ridiculous lately. I'm having flashbacks to when I was on AT&T. I used to be really excited for them to upgrade the tower by house, but now I hope they hold off to the end because the "old" 3G antennas are working just fine. Rant done.

Worse, meaning voice service? Dropped calls?

Sorry, mostly dropped calls, but a lot of data drop outs too. I got rid of my land about two years ago because the quality of Sprint's network was very good. Not so much lately.

Probably an RF seam between Network Vision and legacy 3G sites. They will constantly move around during deployment. Eventually there will be no legacy seams left.

Does Sensorly only map streets? I mapped a bit of 4G in Penasquitos canyon last night, but it didn't show up on the map.

I've noticed that the service has gotten much better relatively close to my house (within a few miles). My 3g connection at work is leaps and bounds better than it used to be years ago. I periodically drive by a site closetto my house in order to see if they have crews out working.
