Crickets? Check out the Baltimore thread. :P

 

The cricket is dead over there. Just swept him into the dustpan.

The retuned around Herndon, you will notice some new points going thru a neighborhood that I did on Sensorly. Soon as I step outside the door at home. 4g symbol lights up.

Sensorly is showing some very HOT LTE to the NW of Dulles airport on Old Ox Rd. Looks like some new LTE there.

I'll take a little drive sometime next weekend to map out the area to see how it is. Weird work schedule this week and last.

Has anyone ever gotten an LG Viper with the latest ICS update (or without it for that matter) to get an LTE connection in this area? I live right near Dulles and drove down old ox today without a peep of a LG Signal on the phone or sensorly.

Days pass and nothing no new LTE suburbs 3G slow as hell lets see when they start here

 

They've already started, and have been for months. In fact, if you look at Sensorly, you can even see fleeting glimpses of LTE in Rockville, MD.You probably also have a bunch of 3G upgrades in your own neck of the woods. Rockville is probably a lot easier to get backhaul in than out there (but still DC market) places like Purcellville.

Was it up? And is it LTE? That would be nice. Especially for testing LTE under pressure.

 

I saw at least four AT&T COWs along with Verizon (walked around the mall yesterday afternoon before lockdown).... I guess Sprint was trying to hide them from me.

    • 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?
