Network Vision/LTE - Central and South Jersey Markets

It has been slow in this state. I'm from south jersey and you get good coverage as you get closer to the bridges to Philly but for the most part it's spotty. The 3g does work a whole hell of lot better than it did a few years back though.

I agree, LTE coverage is very good in South Jersey as long as you stay north of Depford and south of Mount Laurel. Elsewhere, it seems like there have not been many LTE improvements for the last several months especially in the more rural areas.

 

Voice and 3G perform very well in most parts of South Jersey. Did a T Mobile test drive for a week. Dropped many calls in the rural areas and Edge data speeds were useless. However, wherever I did have 4g, the speeds were quite amazing. T Mobile LTE coverage is even more spotty than Sprint.

You are 100% right. Of course I'm just south of Deptford and have really spotty LTE coverage but like you said 3G does perform very well around here.

Yes, and of course, I am north of Mount Laurel and Mt. Holly where solid LTE ends.

Hopefully they start paying more attention to these areas of Jersey. It gets annoying when I keep dropping my LTE signal or not having it at all and people I'm with have no problems with other carriers.

I hear ya. I'm trying to wait it out and stay with Sprint cause they have improved in a lot of areas. Now I'm just hoping our area is soon.

I got the same exact problem. All the towers except the one I'm always connected to seem to be upgraded around here too. No smr either.

All in all though I gotta say there have been many improvements by Sprint. Most of the time when I'm driving around here I am connected to LTE especially as you get closer to the bridges to Philly so it's not all bad.

hey let's wake this thread up :( we need to get people posting again

Im actually surprised how quiet this thread gets, especially based on how crowded Jersey is. My area is still the same. Most has been upgraded to LTE but there's still those areas that drop to 3g like my home tower. The 3g is decent though, 1-1.5 Mbps.

    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
