Network Vision/LTE - New Orleans Market

I just forced LTE in my apartment in Central City from my couch and got a connection. The Serving cell is the same one I picked up randomly on the I-10 the other day ending in 7F01.

Try this post and see if it shows the serving cell ID like Samsung phones.

Nope, it leaves it blank. I am going to drive around in the morning... I think two sites may be active. One by the Dome and one in Broadmoor. If you zoom in on Sensorly on Oretha Castle Haley Blvd in the 1700 block you will see my Sensorly mapping of my condo. It is pretty far from the Broadmoor Purple but close enough to the Dome Purple.

Just went for a drive. My guess is the active tower is on South Derbigny just off Claiborne @Earhart. That is where I got the strongest signal around -68. I got out of there quickly though. Not a great place to be at 1AM. My Speed test is at Claiborne and Jackson coming from Downtown.

Go back to the thread as it looks like he fixed it. Should be pretty cool to get both ids.

Crazy peeps ;)

 

Looks like there is another site active northwest of there according to Sensorly unless of course that is pollution from a GNex owner with a stuck/crashed radio.

It only shows the Hex ID on mine. If you read his last post it looks like he is saying HTC only reports the Hex so that's all he can get to show on the LTEvo...... Stupid HTC.

Is the superbowl over yet? The crews need to spread out again ;)

 

I know I said it before that there probably wasn't a push due to the superbowl but I do believe there has been some emphasis where possible in that area. Of course they haven't focused totally there otherwise we wouldn't have sites active on the north shore.

Yeah, I poked around the API... HTC only exposes the Hex ID (the only thing else I've found exposed by the same call is EVDO base station ID). Now, if someone out there has a rooted Evo LTE running a 4.2 ROM (like Evervolv), the official API may report the physical cell ID, and if it does my app should be able to fetch it. I haven't gotten annoyed enough yet at Sense to root mine yet though.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
