Ehrpd? LTE Underway?


Recommended Posts

Part of me wonders if the LTE 800 FIT will be in BTR? It makes sense with their site spacing. However, they can only deploy LTE 800 in a place where they can shut off all iDEN traffic. Unless they shunt it all in the area to 900. Which I guess they could do.

Possibly...I can't think of any area in this market where there is CDMA but no iDen coverage. It's the other way around since the Synergy upgrade/co-lo project kinda skipped this market.

 

They could just hold back on rolling out 800 1X for a bit and do some 800 LTE testing though. Which in some ways I hope and some I hope they don't do since we desperately need the 800 1X coverage.

What the hell is iDen? Lmao... I'm a noob

 

iDunno?

As of today, the towers that I was getting eHRPD signals on are now back to EVDO-A but with lower pings and higher speedtests. Two of these towers I was getting 500kbps max and now they are consistently 500 to 1000 kbps

My direct fiber connection at work can get sub 10ms pings some times. Best ping ever? 4ms. Seems impossible. The speed test server in ABQ must be immediately adjacent to our backbone connection point. Because if I run a speed test server in Texas, it will jump to the 20-30ms range.

 

It blows my mind to have latency this fast. Even 100ms is really fast if you think about it.

Take a look at this 2ms ping.

Did a speedtest in my office the other day and was blown away at both the ping and speeds.

If you decide to move to a Google Fiber area I would be interested to see the connection speeds there as well.. hehehe

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • 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.
