Recommended Posts

This is not directly LTE related but are any of you guys/gals having issues with MMS still? I recall a nation wide issue last week where people were having issues but its been a good 8-9 days still.

 

Upgraded to latest modem L710VPBMA4

On latest PRL 25010

 

Tried on bone stock rom and Cyanogen 10.1

Hey does anyone know the Network Vision status in DC?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Rob!

 

It's an active deployment area. Each site goes live after it completes and passes inspection. Some sites go live every week. That will happen until the whole market is covered.

I noticed that my phone goes to roaming when I am at home for the last couple of days. I used to have a very good signal while I was at home. May be they are upgrading the towers nearby. I live in Reston near the Reston town center. Waiting for the market to go live to upgrade to an LTE device.

Been seeing some LTE pop up in Manassas on sensorly. I have an appointment to do my taxes there this week so I'll probably roam around a bit and see if I can't pick up any new points.

 

Starting to wonder when/if they'll "bridge the gap" between all these spots in VA. (Front Royal, Manassas, Herndon, Reston, and DC). It'd be nice to smoothly stream spotify while driving around the area.

Any update for LTE in the Bethesda area? Thank you so much for your help and updates!

As Sensorly indicates, if you want to see LTE then roam in the area of Liberia and Wellington, near Harris Teeter. The tower closest that location is confirmed live.

I too had full LTE service at the Convention Center for the auto show. It was awesome. Downstairs not much signal, but upstairs and outside full signal.

 

Also, I saw crews laying fiber for WA33XC928 today in Reston.

I'm heading downstairs now. 4 bars, -81 dBm.

Its just curiosity lol i cant go there just wondering cause in map looks like almost al sites are nv complete

From what I can tell there's not a huge difference between downtown DC and up north in MoCo as far as 3G goes. I don't have too many complaints in either place. Where there has been LTE deployed downtown though... that's a different story! Hop on the red line and get off at Chinatown. You'll see.

I didn't see much LTE on Saturday at the Auto Show besides in the convention center itself. 3G wasn't bad in MoCo though. Had no problem using Tapatalk while we were at Chipotle in Silver Spring.

4G just came online near exit 160 on I-95. This is the Occoquan/Woodbridge area.

 

That site was just accepted yesterday. It's already on our Sponsor maps too. Thanks for the report. :tu:

it varies tower to tower depending on the load. Just like in my area (Riverdale) two towers close by one I can pull down 2mbps while the other I can barely hit 200kbps

Been getting 4G at home in the Hyattsville/Mount Rainier MD area since Friday! Almost didn't want to leave the house lol.

 

I did go to the Car Show Sunday, I wasn't expecting a 4G signal so I set my phone to CDMA only while I was there :( .

Why flip from CDMA/LTE mode? I see no difference in battery life at all nor ever have.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
