@redskykiter
Good to see a new poster around here. Would you be able to use a program like SignalCheck (or equivalent) and post the SID and BID values. I just wonder which tower you are connecting to. Would need on a good and bad day.

I can tell you for a fact that the closest tower to you has had this issue with one cell for sure. Off and one for the last month. Also when it happened for me I was constantly jumping around 6 towers.

Thankfully our contracts are up in May. Sprint has us until then....I think we've been on Sprint since 98. It's never been this bad.

 

Lucky, I'm regretting resigning. Half tempted just to pay termination fee tired of nothing getting resolved half people I call I have to call twice because when they answer first time all I hear is myself. Told sprint but it's always same answer "upgrading"

My problem I believe is tower SID: 4126, BID: 44852 (xAF34).  I'm assuming it's next to Rudy's Hot Dog on Summit. Signal bounces between 85-111dBm.  (however it seems fine right now)

missed one:

It's SID 4126, BID 514.

This one seems OK

Sorry no pic, I exceeded allotted disk space for attachments

Based on what I have written down for these towers.

Ketukkee Trail is the one behind Meijer.

Waldorf is over by I-280

Rudy's is actually the 514 (hex 202)

 

The last one has got me. That is a new 3G site for around here. Guess I really need to check that site Ryan asked me to a week ago and have been busy.


edit: I spend a lot of time in this area so these are the towers I have the most data for.

[redskykiter]

If it helps the BSL listed for 44852 is my address on 119th near summit.  

[redskykiter]

Sorry for spamming.  So I just figured out (by dialing *99) that I am connecting to someone's air rave... This may explain my crap signal??   Do air rave's have their own BID? If I'm not connected to this BID 44852 everything works fine.  Any suggestions on how to not connect to a neighbor's air rave?

Thanks @blkkatana.  I Spent the morning on chat and phone yesterday with sprint.  He tried to find the neighbor with the airrave and couldn't.  "WOW this person must really have that thing cranked to the max" Regardless, they are sending me a free air rave.

Is there any word on whether Toledo will get 1x800?  I enjoyed it in Chicago a few weeks ago and noticed near Monroe yesterday 1xRTT.

.... In a nutshell, yes. Each new network vision site has 2 new RRU's..1900 and 800.... As far in Monroe, those sites only have 1900 up... On the outside of West Toledo which where I live in sylvania, they been tested 800 only at one site

@redskykiter I have connected to that 800 site at my house when bid 514 was out. I was also connecting to the most southern accepted site in Michigan also.

 

edit: Check the screen shot for that. At my house I had a -105 RSSI -22.0dB Ec/Io. It would rate that as almost usable.

Driving around toledo today and saw a ton of work going on at a tower in Maumee not sure if it was sprint but location was 1760-1768 Indian wood cir. Maumee

[ryry4ya]

They're putting the hybrid cable in today..Douglas n Bancroft.... Everything else is set up, let's see how long this is gonna take to get accepted. This is a high-capacity site and it has fiber

Found a crew working on Reynolds Road near Ryan Road. There is two cabinets there also fiber is already installed. Let's see how long it takes them to get the antennas up

[Footballjim715]

Not much help here but saw major work being done at the tower right of Conant Street and Anthony Wayne trail. I would post bsl but I'm driving all day for my job. Had a ton of trucks along with a crane at the top of tower so if I get a chance to go by it again I'll post bsl.
