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.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
