Network Vision/LTE - Charlotte Market

[kendokken3]

If I wasn't working out of town this week I would ride over and check that out. That's getting close to my office!

[Brandonlmbrt]

Yea that's a new one. Probably get accepted this week. Good stuff!

A new Sensorly spot appeared over by Lake Wylie this morning.

I found this new connectivity on my way home from church last Sunday morning when I was mapping my trip with sensorly. I also discovered the new LTE connectivity in south Gastonia a few Sundays earlier. Haven't had a chance to go out and map all of the zones. But I would be willing to bet there are more to come in that area of the market.

I still continue to not get 4GLTE near Providence/Randolph and Fairview... Good strong 3G right now... I suspect the Testing is over for now... My most recent Sprint phone bill shows the 4G on it for my phone!!!

You can also text "Usage" to 1311 and get a text back from Sprint with all your current usage as far as minutes, texts, 3G and 4G data. I use this all the time.

East and South-West CLT are slow as hell on 3G. No sign of LTE in either of those areas.

4G LTE uptown!!! Screenshots coming up

Nice! What area are you at? I am at College and 6th, I don't see it here.

[smkyle]

Tryon and Trade. I've already lost it, but it was there!

Here are some pictures. I did a speed test, but I couldn't get a sensorly report

The tower in Ballantyne is still blocking access and this week I've noticed that voice calls are dropping left and right as I travel along Johnston Rd. through Ballantyne. It is frustrating to know that if that tower wasn't being blocked I'd have full voice signal and LTE.

[Brandonlmbrt]

Man I'm soooo ready for lte. -.-

[llm5505]

The tower I was picking up 4G on at Albemarle road is no longer active as well. At least we are starting to see some activity!

[drhenning]

It was nice while it lasted and it showed that Sprint's ready at some of their towers... Still nothing last weekend in Jacksonville, FL... I also noticed I got the Enhanced Network pretty much all the way between Charlotte and Jacksonville even when it showed roaming at times...

[drhenning]

4G popped up again in the Providence/Randolph/Sardis/Fairview area yesterday.... I wonder if it is tuned down some though since last week when I first got it, I was receiving a 4G signal inside.. Yesterday, it pretty much was only an outdoor thing.. 4G lasted till around RAMA this morning...

[aglutz]

so ready for LTE...this 3G is just unusable

Just read a post in the Sprint forums about somebody getting LTE in the I-77 @ I-85 interchange area. They ran a speed test and got in the 6800kbps range. You guys north of the city need to lock and load the Sensorly app and go hunting!!

You better believe I will be all over whatever is between Kannapolis and Harris Blvd in Charlotte the day it hits, lol. I'm in and out of Concord and Harrisburg every week and watching.

 

Oh, a buddy of mine that watches the boards but doesn't post drove through the Lake Wylie area on Sensorly, ran a speed test and got about 13 down and 9 up...pretty decent speeds. He also works in downtown Charlotte and had found no LTE.

I just noticed a new Sensorly spot has appeared at Crowders Mountain State Park.

[kendokken3]

Looks like there is a new spot ( or i haven't noticed it before ) at Providence and Queens Rd as well.

Robert was right when he said they deploy in a shot gun fashion all over the market ! That one is really random !

That was me. I went for a hike on the Pinnacle Trail and noticed 4g was lit up.

As I was driving to lunch today I passed a tower and saw a lady walking around the base wearing a bright green vest. I figured I'd stop by on the way back to ask if she knew anything about the tower upgrade but she was gone by the time I came back by the tower. I was really hoping it was some kind of final inspection before the tower goes live.

[aglutz]

Saw something interest today heading to work. Picked up a little bit of LTE at Exit 27 off I-85 in Belmont/Mt. Holly

 

The speeds were a little slower than normal, but it's nice to see a glimmer of hope!
