Network Vision/LTE - Orange County Market (Anaheim/Santa Ana/Irvine/Huntington Beach)

Noticed Something interesting in all of my tests at 1 am to 1 30am, all the upload were capped at 20kb/s (prolly doesn't mean anything). I should mention that I was having no signal around 5pm few times in and out. Thought I share... (Westminster)

 

Here in New Mexico, there is a sector on one rural site that does this very same thing with a consistent slow upload speed. There is virtually nothing in that sector but an Indian Casino. The other sectors from the same site operate normally for the upload, just the sector facing the casino.

 

I think the casino is using upload over the Sprint network for something consistently. Either that, or the carrier has a problem with it for the past 3 years.

Today I got a pretty decent LTE signal in Newport Coast. It felt amazing it was totally unexpected. However, sadly the LTE signal is complelty gone ;( Why Sprint ? Why!?

 

Is there a tower around here that is getting LTE occasionally broadcasted that doesn't show on the map?

Where exactly? This isn't the T with PCH and Crown Valley is it? did you map it to Sensorly?

I am off of Richfield and La Palma. The signal is weaker so I assume I am getting a signal from the Tower near the 241 and 91 and Not the Lakeview La Palma site.

I agree.. I got some pretty weak signal today when I got to work off of lakeview and La Palma. I think the OC is about to LiTE up :)

Only accepted sites are shown on the map. Sites being tested do not, until they are accepted complete from the OEM.

I also took a pitcture of the site. I'm no networking expert but it looks like there are missing parts at the ends, like covers or something.

 

could it be they are waiting for backhaul? When it was up and running and I did speed tests right under it the average was only 15Mbps which seems a little low to me for a newly active site. does that have to do with the 5x5? When I speed tested the first Lakewood site I was averaging 27Mbps.

Amen! They just turned off the Yorba Linda site again.

 

It's becoming a joke that it's on/off/on/off/on/off. Turn it on test the damn thing and turn it off. All it's doing is pissing people off in the surrounding area because they think they are getting LTE then boom sorry to bad move along. LA county a tower comes on and IT STAYS ON. Once its off it should stay off till it will be left ON!

That statement is inaccurate.

There are towers in Torrance, Lomita, and Wilmington that no longer transmit LTE to customers since late last week, and each tower was turned on between October-December. It's somewhat frustrating because I built an expectation that there would be consistent LTE. But as I/we should all realize Sprint has yet to officially announce LTE launched in LA and surrounding areas. And until that time, enjoy the LTE wherever we find it.

Aren't Sprint phones defaulted to have 4G off? Pretty sure no one but us are freaking out over 4G. :P

I don't understand why they can't just turn it on and keep it on. When they activate a new cell site normally once it goes on air it stays on. There's no repeated on/off for weeks. Is LTE so complicated that they have to repeatedly test it for weeks or months before they can finalize it? Seems rather silly to me.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
