At the Nationals Game today! My iPhone XS automatically connected to a private WiFi network “provided by Sprint” at Nationals Park. Check out the data speeds here during the game. Nice

I continue to be amazed at how quickly upgrades are occurring.  Yesterday I drove to visit my parents and then today I drove back.  On my way down, I had LTE all the way from my home next to the Hunti

I live on the Arlington/Alexandria border and I haven't seen any progress on 4G LTE rollout. However, I was visiting my parents this past weekend who live on the Arlington/McLean border and I noticed that I was connected to 4G LTE. You can imagine my surprise. Very nice connection speeds. Now when will if reach me where I live?????????

I see you have the EVO. In my experience, as well as many others, the EVO does not do a good job of acquiring the LTE signal in areas that aren't saturated with LTE. If you haven't tried toggling the phone in and out of airplane mode you may want to try that if you're in an area where you suspect LTE to be present.

With the new update the evo connects quite well without cycling with in seconds.

It does seem better but still not as good as I expected it to be. Still having to do airplane mode more than I feel I should.

 

Occasionally, even I need to cycle Airplane Mode to get a -90dbm or so LTE connection. It's because the network is in its infancy and the phone will need to most likely connect to a further away site to get an LTE signal, which consumes more power and is less stable and reliable.

Well, I either have a bad device or the improvements are being misstated. I have been 100 yards away from an active LTE tower and still had to do the airplane mode dance. And this is a tower that has been up and running for months.

To my knowledge there is a timer before the LTE radio cuts on, so of that timer doesn't trigger in range of a tower you may have to do the airplane mode dance.

What's happening in this market no new news since a long time. And rockville Bethesda in the dark. There has not been new news since weeks.

 

Probably holiday down time. The weather hasn't been exactly cooperating around here either.

Has anyone gotten any signal in woodbridge or manassas as of yet? I know that at least one tower near to lake ridge was down for service recently as i got no signal for 3 days.

 

Nope

Redskins in the playoffs!

 

LTE must be coming...

 

Redskins in the playoffs? I would have said that Daniel Snyder must have died. But then I saw him on TV during the broadcast.

Was there a cease and desist order place against this market because it seems like 2 weeks before christmas came there weren't any new towers that came online and the trend is still continuing unless everyone decided to stop mapping points with sensorly.

Become a sponsor and you will see the progress in our NV Sites Complete thread. Sensorly only shows what people report.

      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.
