bovicepacino Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bovicepacino Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Didn't see it yesterday or Sunday 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.

Sandy may have caused them to pull some workers from various markets, but that effect should be just about gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendokken3 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 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 !!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait until they light Kannapolis and the I-85/Harris Blvd area up...and anywhere in between for that matter.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, this is typical for me here: 3-4 bars out of 5, 3G 0.12mbps down 0.01mbps up 1186ms ping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill875 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I see a new LTE spot has popped up near Lake Norman (Cornelius Area) and just south of Belmont. Keep 'em coming A/L! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandonlmbrt Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Just grabbed an LTE signal on the way through Cornelius.

kendokken3 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Here was my exact location on i-77. It looks like somebody was on Statesville Rd and mapped a nice little stretch in that same area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandonlmbrt Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 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!

smkyle Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 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.
