djsplitimage Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Downtown Ithaca, NY.....LTE lit up on my phone for about 2 hours while I was DJ'ing a party, from about 8:30 until about 11pm....here's the screen shot of the test I ran. Hasn't lit up again for me today but I'm holding out hope that LTE is arriving soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Nice! LTE hasn't been noted on the sponsor maps yet in Ithaca, so it was likely in testing. Hopefully it goes 100% live next week for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsplitimage Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah hopefully, I remember the 4G Wimax being activated sort of under the radar, wouldn't surprise me because of the proximity of Binghamton & Syracuse (about an hour North & South, respectively), that the same deal happens again.

travismheim Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've found a whole bunch of CDMA1X 800 all over Syracuse. None of it is shown on any maps that I've seen so far. My nexus connects to it when it falls back from PCS LTE. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's not enough activity to update them its probably not worth it. He will probably have one today, it seems Tuesdays is a normal update day. Also, he's just one guy, hang in there! By the way your lucky us here in Rochester won't see 800 for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way your lucky us here in Rochester won't see 800 for some time. 800 updates are done much less frequently. The reports do not come consistently or cohesively for 800 unfortunately.

burnout8488 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hopefully that means Binghamton isn't far off from getting 800 too. Upstate NY has been dry as far as 800 acceptances are concerned. Once it gets turned on I can finally get my girlfriend's family to leave Verizon, their house is on the fringe of 1900 1x and it's only partially usable. Going to be in Ithaca on Saturday, I hope that intermittent LTE site is on full time by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travismheim Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The weird thing is my EVO would never connect to it. Even if it meant roaming. But every time my nexus makes a call while connected to PCS LTE, it falls back to 800. Not sure what's up with that. I haven't had the chance to test incoming calls to see if it's the same. For the longest time I thought the exclusionary zone around Syracuse didn't matter when it came to ibez and 800 restrictions. Makes me wonder how long its been broadcasting here for.

Ran some speed tests using sensorly I'll be up there this coming Saturday, but will be on a wine tour bus, so I can't really determine my own path unfortunately. But I have signalcheck set to notify me upon new LTE connections, so I'll make sure to stay alert for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny this I noticed about the Syracuse/Upstate Central market, they were at first really fast with 3G and 4G acceprances but then Rochester zoomed right past you guys over there and seems like we are far more ahead... Strange how that stuff happens... Just my opinion and observations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnout8488 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 My Endwell 800, I think this is the Skye Island Drive site. It said "Odell Ave" briefly when my call was over: Hopefully this means the Binghamton area is getting turned on in a cluster, and that hasn't been reflected in the maps yet. Oddly enough, it was very difficult receiving phone calls last night. Two people sent angry texts asking why I didn't pick up. When I told someone to retry, I stood by the window, and it came in. It took about ten seconds of me flicking the answer toggle, and the phone freezing for it finally to latch on to 1x800 and actually answer the call. First time I had seen 1x800 at home, and my girlfriend did not share any of that joy with me during the call. Does this mean eCSFB really isn't working here, or are the delayed calls actually normal on eCSFB enabled sites? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchs Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) 4G LTE working on west side of Auburn. Slowly but surely, it's coming. Edited February 24, 2014 by patchs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnys8913 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 4G LTE working on west side of Auburn. Slowly but surely, it's coming. That tower has been 4G LTE accepted for a few weeks now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Can't find 1x800 anymore in Endwell, I think it must have been in testing temporarily. I hope it comes in full force soon though. Could really use it on the outskirts where there is limited coverage not too far from town. Ithaca had some fast LTE on Saturday! I had a -105 signal and it was still pulling down 17Mbps. Downtown should be a much happier place for Sprint users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what made them choose to launch Syracuse now. We have been mostly covered for several months with little to no activity.
