Any more news about 4G in Lima, OH I'm only getting 3g now.

Ive been getting one bar of LTE for about the last 2 months every now and then. 

It will come on and stay up for about 5 minutes or so and then back to 3G. 

Not sure if this is some sort of testing phase or what?

i asked my friend down there and they said the 3G is alot faster than it used to be a few months ago. they mentioned that they used to get less than 800Kbps and now they usually average 1.5Mbps even during the day. overall they are quite happy with the speed increase so i dont get how you guys are saying 3G is slow.

This just for anyone in general and you, in the Sponsor section there are maps of Sites with info on what has been accepted. When LTE is present that backhal is there which also will run off the 3G as well so speeds will be much better has well. The towers in Lima are all 3G accepted meaning that new equipment is up and ready to go, but does not necessarily mean tthat backhaul is there or if it is Sprint needs to integrate the sites before they accepted it as 4G hence why they may be experiencing slower speeds due to old backhaul.

So I have a iPhone 5C now when the towers are fully completed will I have 4g lte & 4g when I turn the lte switch off?

Idk how iphones exactally work with being able to switch from CDMA to LTE, but if you can switch it than if its CDMA only you will only 3G LTE or Global mode you will Get LTE Sprint does not have just a 4G network besides the dieing wimax if you want to consider that has 4G but we dont have any wimax sites besides two protection sites, one in Toledo and one other i think its findlay off hand.

my sister has a 5C and it switches from 3G to LTE pretty quickly once a signal is picked up. funny thing is up here in cleveland the 3G speeds are also faster than they used to be at about 1.7Mbps but there is still better WiMax coverage than LTE. there is a place my mom likes to buy smokes and i was getting about 1.4Mbps down on 3G and she was getting like 10Mbps down on WiMax. i was so jelly of the speeds.

FYI.....I live literally 2 miles from the tower you are referring to. I have sat directly beside that tower and only have had one bar of LTE register on my phone. And it still goes in and out, so its not a constant signal yet.

Download CellViz when I leave the house it shows a line between my phone and the tower im connected to and it shows how far the tower signal goes before your phone jumps to the next tower im at home on collett and n street im connected to a tower hidden behind st ritas not the ones on top of the building.

FYI the locations at least for legacy (not sure about all NV) were offset from the towers by a few blocks. The locations used on the sponsor maps are to the actual towers.

 

Also it seems that there is work going on in Toledo market. I have been all over this morning and it seems there is no data from any tower at the moment. My phone is also only getting 1x from Michigan right now.

Well my phone is on LTE again.

 

Guessing by the widespread area I would guess it was something to do with how the towers communicate with each other.

 

Side note ping seems lower than last week. I was getting 75 - 100 ms I am now at 50 - 60 ms.

Oh wow @manley7878 how long did the signal stay up? LTE is moving closer to the city!!

Its a COW haha :lol:.....no im not serious, but its still off the same tower as before trust me you guys will know when you got LTE in Lima theres 6 towers. If its in Open ( i mean BFE no trees just farm fields) that one tower in ft shawnee could reach 10 miles possibly but the likey hood of that is rare, but its possible.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
