Network Vision/LTE - West Michigan Market (Grand Rapids/Lansing/Kalamazoo)

[Blueshirt]

I went to Lansing this afternoon and was able to get 4G on 69 south of Charlotte most of the way into Lansing. I put it up on Sensorly.

Good work, thanks for getting that on the map

Just out of curiosity...Did your travels have you on 94 before you headed up to Lansing? I'm wondering how LTE signal is at the 69/94 interchange.

[Blueshirt]

There wasn't anything at the exchange, and nothing south of 94 to speak of. I live in Coldwater and work in Battle Creek, so I keep checking that area.

[ShadowDrake]

FYI to anyone in Coopersville area it looks like the exit to 96 for coopersville has LTE in that area and could be investigated!

I had an LTE connection today while leaving work downtown Lansing and maintained it westward on I-496 nearly until the Waverly Rd exit. Got a bit better than 7.5 mbps down. Good thing to look forward to, can't wait til I can get that at home.

Yea thats from the tower on MLK and Holmes. I was downtown last week also and got the signal. It is nice to finally have it in the area. I just got it at my house in Potterville this weekend and my download speed is great than 20Mbps. Probably because I'm one of the only ones connected to it.

Posting this from the 4G LTE in Lowell!

Hey Guys-

 

Picked up some LTE on Rivertown parkway starting around 196 in Grandville. Went east and switched back to 3G before Ivanrest. after Ivanrest LTE came backup in Wyoming a bit on 44th st. before I got to Byron Center dr. And of course having an iPhone I couldn't Sensorly it

Anyone know what tower they switched on in the Grandville area?

I was by Rivertown last night and had some really fast 3g speeds but didn't notice LTE. I didn't pay attention while driving around that area. I may be heading back there tonight and will try to run Sensorly, it looks like others have mapped a little bit new in that area in the last day or two.

I had 4g this morning from M6 and Kalamazoo Ave heading west on M6 then 96 east all the way until where 196 and 96 split.

[danny1st]

clearly they are building out the freeways then filling in the gaps! can't believe the rate of live towers these last few weeks!

[MattVeltkamp]

Hey guys did a bunch of mapping in the HudsonvilleGrandville area. DE33IP507 near the m6 - I96 Junction is broadcasting LTE. I'll post some pics too.

I took a drive up 131 last night and couldn't connect to LTE at W Main. I got off, went west a bit, then turned around and went back south.

The only active LTE tower that I am aware of in the Kalamazoo area is at D Ave and US-131 (just south of the MI DEQ buidling on the southwest side of the intersection). It is pretty amazing the reach of that tower, but it is on top of a nice hill. If you look carefully as you cross the H Ave bridge over US-131 you can see the tower 4 miles away. Clear line of sight always helps!

Always get excited when I see a tech hanging from a tower, then I get disappointed when I figure out it is at&t... Saw Tech's hanging new panels on the lattice tower on Oakland between Cedar and Larch where you go under the railroad tracks. Double checked and it is not a Sprint tower. Looks like the other at&t panels I've seen in the area, they are very aggressively getting new hardware in their towers.

We had some problems in Potterville over the weekend with our 4G. It was showing we had 4G but on Saturday you couldn't actually use data at all while being connected to 4G. You could see that no incoming data was coming in. Was really strange but started working again mid yesterday. No compliants, just found it a little odd that it would just stop working like that. Seems super fast though!

Might have been a backhaul issue or maybe they were hooking up the 3G upgrades, I think that site was accepted as LTE only.

LTE now available on the tower at Meyers Lake and Belding Rd in Rockford. First found the LTE signal 2/27. It has been available each time through this area since.

Saw guys on the tower on plainfield ave next to lowes

Crew working on the site in Charlotte at Island Hwy and I-69 as I drove by today. At 75mph, I was unable to see which operator was getting upgrades but Sprint is one of the four occupants of that site. Lansing area members might want to keep an eye on that.

We have had 4G LTE in Coopersville MI for 2 weeks, see screenshot from my HTC EVO 4G LTE, Ping 60 ms, Down 14.4 Up 5.54,
