Awesome! I have some friends around there that would really like that. Does that tower cover Union Landing?

There are a few towers between the completed tower in that area, and Union Landing. The ones that service Union Landing aren't complete yet.

Almost cried when I saw that my phone has finally found the elusive LTE! This was just at the Whipple Rd exit in Union City.

Is 880 below Whipple to the bridge covered yet? Complete the circle someone!

The Menlo Park, CA area I'm trying to map out a bit more. It's not too big a town, so going up and down enough streets isn't taking too long. Funny thing is, I would say these towers are ON mostly in the night and early AM. Could that be? Sometimes during the day, I don't connect at 4G LTE at all?

 

But, I'm getting up to 26MB down and 14GB up!

It is common for them to do testing in the middle of the night to impact as few of customers as possible.

Getting LTE at Mission College! (last checked on Wednesday 3/20)

The tower here has been NV Complete for quite some time/many months.

 

The Sensorly data at the moment shows stuff from other nearby towers. I'll do some more plotting later.

 

I believe this tower also serves the nearby Mercado shopping center as well, so finally, some relief there!

Sensorly must have been backed up.. yesterday's data is finally up (last checked about an hour ago)

 

Uploaded a bit of T-Mobile LTE this morning as well! Can't wait to see it on the maps.

edit: oh weird, it's visible at certain zoom levels

Yeah i mapped the marina in Emeryville on Sunday and it's only available in the most zoomed levels. Still not showing up zoomed out.

Sunset neighborhood with new coverage. Nice new tower.

 

I also saw the new tower near the Dumbarton bridge and 880. Finally the circle will be done. No more gaps in coverage down 880. Too bad I don't work in mtn view anymore.

Got some new LTE at Millbrae Caltrain/BART and walking up El Camino. Definitely a newly-finished tower. Yay!

 

My Sensorly data doesn't appear to be showing yet though..

 

Yeah my data hasn't showed up all day.

There was a report this morning that all these markets are getting turned up to full on 4/12/13. Could be a bit early!

It is being quoted as a soft launch, which pretty much means sprint wants ppl to know LTE is in the bay, but not to complain when the 4g icon comes and goes.

Only Contra Costa County was included in those markets, so no love for SF or the south and east bay yet.

Wow, I think they just turned up a tower in the FiDi... 4 bars LTE where I used to barely get it outside on the street anywhere north of Market. ~6Mbit down, ~3.5Mbit up inside the building. Finally!!

 

The signal bars are only for your 1X connection, which is primarily voice signal.

To know your actual signal strength you should use the engineering screen on your phone, or "signalcheck" app; although perhaps slightly less accurate but will still give you a general idea of your connection strength. Congrats on the in building LTE!

True in most instances but I think he has an iPhone which shows LTE

    • Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

    • 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.
