I ride on 85S and take the connection to 77N to get to work in the morning, and looking on Sensorly app on my iPhone I thought I was supposed to be passing through an area with 4g coverage a few exits before and after the connection. Maybe in the next few weeks, or has anybody else been able to pick up LTE in that area lately?

I hope that they work on the Charlotte area a little more in the upcoming weeks. I know we are a Second Round Market according to the updates but when the first round markets get closer to completion then we should be improving at a faster pace.

I dont think that this is the case. I believe that the sub-contractors are hired independent of each market so one market doesn't necessarily affect any others, Robert maybe able to explain it further.

That is exactly the case. Sandy may have caused them to pull some workers from various markets, but that effect should be just about gone.

i just mapped a TON of new LTE sites on Sensorly around my office tonight !! I drove around for over 20 minutes and never could find the end of coverage, they had to of lit up 5-6 towers today. Its all over the I-77/ I-485 area, Westinghouse Blvd, S.Tryon ... My office is completely surrounded with LTE now !! woohoo !!!

Nice! Looks like someone lit the map up on Statesville Ave between I-85 & I-277 too. I can't wait until they light Kannapolis and the I-85/Harris Blvd area up...and anywhere in between for that matter. :)

Well crap....I'm on Westinghouse right off I-77 and I'm getting nothing. Same claim of 3G with practically zero throughput.

I couldnt pick up LTE early this morning in that area either. I picked it up on S. Tryon / Westinghouse Blvd towards Steele Creek and dropped it 300 yds from my office !! I agree 3G today is really bad, Pandora is a no go and I can barely get a speedtest to complete.

 

Edit: and after looking on the maps last night I think it was more like 2 towers in this area that were lit up yesterday.

Sadly, this is typical for me here:

 

3-4 bars out of 5, 3G

0.12mbps down

0.01mbps up

1186ms ping

It's great that more 4g is starting to show up in the Charlotte area. Having some in the UNCC area would be lovely

It looks like somebody was on Statesville Rd and mapped a nice little stretch in that same area!

 

 

That's the place. I held the signal for a few miles while heading south, but not as long on the way back up. Got off at exit 28 to hunt a little, but the signal was weak and kept reverting to 3G. It was nice for the few minutes I got to play. Not sure if they're are moving north with their work, or moving towards Charlotte, but that's the farthest north it has come!

Unfortunately, it seems that spots are turning off rather than staying on. I would really love to see downtown turned on, but with the number of people who would notice it, sprint would have to deal with a lot of confused people.

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.

      Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
