LTE is live in Downtown Omaha!  It just came online within the last hour.  I just pulled 1347kbps down, 1315kbps up with a 53ms ping using speedtest and am successfully, for the first time ever in Omaha, streaming a movie to my S3.  Whoo! 

 

I know there is still tuning to do and the rest of the city, but the fact that I'm connected by LTE is reason to celebrate!

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that?  All I know is my phone flipped over from 3G to 4G and my speedtest went way up.  I'm about 20th and Douglas streets.  Sorry that I don't use all the fancy stuff and that means I can't be trusted.  :(  I'll try to remember that when they turn on a tower near work.

Thank you BPHusker, glad someone believes me. Go Big Red!

 

Sensorly is an app that marks connections on a map. You should download it and let it scan.

I think that means I figured it out correctly.  :)

 

I get LTE in my apartment, but when I went to ground level I had 3G.  I don't know how to scan to see if I could get LTE there or not.  The same thing happened with my old Evo on the other 4G they used to have downtown.

My wife was around 48th and Normal Blvd in Lincoln at 9:00 this morning and was getting LTE signal. She had to send me a text and ask why it says LTE where it use to say 3G on her phone because she didn't know what it meant.  :lol:

It's marked on Sensorly. I drove by twice and didn't get a signal.

I don't know much about how towers work.  Is it possible I'm only seeing it because I'm above ground level?  I went down to the street and walked around for a few blocks and couldn't get any LTE.  I came back upstairs and it came back on the second I stepped off the elevator.

For a wireless nerd, red stick = blue balls.

 

:P

They might have it turned onto some low power mode for testing or something.  I wonder if this will be the next accepted tower.

 

Here are where I picked up LTE this afternoon...

Bellevue here.  I got some hits in Sensorly and my phone connected 4g for brief periods of time:  Switched quickly and seemlessly back to 3g.  Can't get 4g signal now inside my home.  3g is fast enough to play youtube video without caching.

My phone must be broken because I found very very little lol. I couldn't find it where Big merl found it earlier but I found it in another area and I think I uploaded it to sensorly successfully.

 

It is between 28th and 26th and Harney downtown. Sorry if pics are lame, taking them with my phone.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
