Yeah, I've been getting T-Mo LTE at my work in Holland the past few days. Gotta admit, 25-30Mbps is nice.

Okay since this hasn't been talked about much beside you Codie, Central Avenue and McCord, all old 3G stuff removed. Now they're still isn't 4G but just to let you know they're taking it down as quick as they put the new stuff up

I need a more concrete answer than just by the end of the year.  It seems Lima, Ohio will not even see Sprint 4G this year if possible can anyone get some strong answers for the Lima, Ohio area.

I am also wondering why the Lima area seems to be ignored.  I am in Van Wert and it seems this area is the Big Hole they forgot about.

Well that's about all your going to get for now. They are working all over the market tho seems like there's nothing much going on at all. There's backhaul at a few other sites in Toledo but no LTE with a few with upgrades..idk what Sprint,Samsung or these contractors are thinking right now.. We all want LTE but sooner or later it'll happen. Also they have to do them in clusters even tho we are not a moto market we have them all around our market which will cause all hell to break loose with dropped calls and such. I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking it's frustrating for us all trust me.Also should donate a few bucks that way you can see more information of what's going in our market here's a few sites once you become a sponsor http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/517-nv-sites-complete/http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3365-toledo-area-building-permits/ Edited by keelerman8042

So this is what is going on at the tower outside of Continental. I'm guessing under the tarp is the panels and rrus. but in the boxes not sure. hopefully nothing that is damaged. Those boxes look beat up pretty bad. They were also out in the pouring rain. You can also see the new base cabinets there next to the old. very exciting!!

Nothing very important happened monday either. figures with my day off.. but on my way to work today around 2 this is what was going on. people out working on everything. So on my break I drove back to the tower to see what they had done. it looks ilke they have 3 new panels up, and the RRUS are setting on the ground down there still. but its nice to see work happening. might stop in on my way to work tomorrow and see whats going on! hopefully better pics

today it looks like they have the rrus up, and they pull out the trailer they had there. but the boxes are still there. I'm guessing they are waiting on backhaul still. I'm sure that will take awhile not sure who they are using for backhaul, just a guess its TDS they are slow at things, and having outages all the time. hopefully it will be fiber they are bringing to the tower they brought it to the GOGO tower down the road. fingers crossed. something happens soon. playing the waiting game is hard lol

Sorry no photo..Bancroft n 23-475...Gear is going up the tower as I write this but, this spot has a shed (like Verizon) So, you guys keep an eye out for what's going on if you live in a certain section of town. We are a small group in Toledo metro area..inner city... Keep your eyes open.. I like to thank Ryan(third person )..LOL

    • 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.
