dstrait Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I enjoy hearing the updates from people who are seeing traces of LTE here and there in the DC market.

browning Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Has anyone heard anything more definitive on roll outs here? I'm in NOVA (Herndon area) and have the tower near my home completely useless - speed test just keeps saying try again. The tower directly across from my office (visible from my window) is almost equally as worthless. Not ranting but almost 6 months of virtually no service is wearing on me. I'm in the B'more market frequently and know the wait will be worth it but the lack of service at the moment is more than painful. I keep thinking they will turn the switch soon but I've been holding my breath too long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blynch87 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 PIcked up an LTE signal near Union Station tonight around 7:30 p.m. Mapped it on Sensorly but couldn't pick it up as I headed east. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapkoski Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 PIcked up an LTE signal near Union Station tonight around 7:30 p.m. Mapped it on Sensorly but couldn't pick it up as I headed east. Which side of Union Station were you on? It sounds like you were heading to H st... If so, I bet you were being teased by WA73XC422 (Maryland Ave NE & 2nd St NE). Anyone work around the Capitol building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep your comments within the confines of decency as presecribed by the forum rules. Wow... I'm smh reading some of the negative and harsh toned posts from the closed forum. We're close guys. Perhaps closer than most markets. In this time of Thanksgiving lets concentrate on what we do have as opposed to what we don't. Let me start. Three of the four towers around my house are 3G complete already (PWC). That's going to be sweeeet when they're lte complete - which I'm sure is right around the corner. Thank you Sprint for what you have given me. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munsterrr Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) You know. Having finally received my Ingress invite. This gives me an excuse to walk around the city for multiple reasons. I'll go for a walk during lunch and see if i can grow the sensorly map a bit For those who dont know what Ingress is Edited November 28, 2012 by munsterrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedub Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 [offtopic]still waiting for my ingress invite to come through, anything you can tell us about it that isn't already out there? new thread or pm if necessary[/offtopic] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enormous Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 PIcked up an LTE signal near Union Station tonight around 7:30 p.m. Mapped it on Sensorly but couldn't pick it up as I headed east. Thanks for grabbing this! I pick-up/drop-off my Bike Share bike right there every day, so I'll definitely be sniffing around the area.

blynch87 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Which side of Union Station were you on? It sounds like you were heading to H st... If so, I bet you were being teased by WA73XC422 (Maryland Ave NE & 2nd St NE). Anyone work around the Capitol building? On the east side. I think I would have gotten the one at 2nd and MD at street level if that were the case. I'm up high near 2nd and F NE so I wonder if I'm picking up WA54XC490 all the way up at 1st and P NE over the train tracks. There's another site on the unit block of I St NE but that one is not reported to be complete. Maybe it will be on next week's list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enormous Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Between cycling airplane mode and turning on sensorly I was still able to grab a few points north of union station while on the train too.

Between this and hunting down LTE for Sensorly. There will be plenty of walking. Some must read before you start Back on to subject. Wasnt able to pic anything up today. Curious how the antenna logic works now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachthelizard Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 No LTE in Reston again. I toggled airplane mode in a couple places hoping to get a whiff of the completed site there. No dice. I did get to experience LTE in the Shentel markets and can say it will be awesome when it comes to NOVA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazO Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I get much better 3G speeds average .87 down .80 up in the Largo/Landover MD area along route 202 picked up a LTE signal in Seat Pleasnt MD by the recreational center on Saturday not sure if that was coming from one of the towers transmitting LTE on Benning Rd in DC but it's progress I guess.

dcmidnight Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Was out in Alexandria this afternoon - between Ft Belvoir all the way to Old Town - no sniffs of LTE on this end of Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enormous Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just uploaded 456 more LTE points to Sensorly from my train/bike ride this morning. Union Station/Capitol/mall area. Tried to vary my coverage from yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheForce627 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 just picked up lte at pg community college. there is a tower on the campus. i mapped a few points on sensorly 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enormous Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Went for a morning constitutional, grabbed some coffee and 28 more points (we need a scoreboard! LTE MMO! ha) over near the Mandarin Oriental. Maybe this means that WA57XC015 is also sending out LTE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Stewpid Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Was turning on my Play Music to get my day started and noticed I was on LTE in Capitol Heights. Along MLK Highway close to the McDonalds. Did a couple of speed tests to confirm and the highest I got was 11Mbps. Hopefully it's turned on for good because that area makes me want to throw my phone out the window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
