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

I was in Wayland at Gun Lake yesterday and SCP reported B26 twice. However, both occurrences were just seconds before dropping to 3G

There is some B26 active in that area.  About a month ago I was connected by US 131 Motorsports park.  I was at the gas station off the exit there.  Of course I didn't think to get a screenshot.

I've seen some Band 26 just recently start to appear. (Single site in Granville, single site in GR)

 

No Band 41 anywhere here. I suspect almost all our beautiful Clear sites will be binned without replacement.

Picked up B26 on M50 near alden Nash

B26. Greenville, MI. Lincoln Lake and M-57.

 

I have drove through Greenville as well, and I have stayed connected to 26 the whole way through. The network is congested at the moment as there are a lot of people in town.

Not sure if this was posted... B26, US-131, Mile 132-134. Looks to be a single site.

Some sort of a massive Mobile data issue that appears to be affecting the Lansing MSC.  At home in Portland, I was connected to the Kent St. site on the Grand Rapids MSC, everything was great.  Driving into work, the Grange Rd/Eagle site is the first on the Lansing MSC, and I've roamed or bounced crazy connections ever since.  No data, inconsistent texting/calls.  Only roaming works for sure.

 

I've seen my 1X connection bounce anywhere from Fenwick and Caledonia via 1X800, Verizon romaing, a site in Dewitt, East Lansing, Holt, etc.

 

With all the bouncing around, I assume that Network Ops is working on it.

 

Calls to first level CSR have resulted in no assistance.  Lots of tweets to @sprintcare, but no good responses.

Just jumping in to confirm no service in downtown Lansing.  It worked fine at home in Mulliken 48861 around 7am.

This exact thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago in Grand Rapids. I was bouncing between roaming and super weak, unusable 1x800 across three super-distant sites. (Although all on the GR MSC)

 

Then, three days later, the tower went live again.

 

Good news: 800mhz LTE went live on that tower when it lit (wasn't there before).

Bad news: They turned down the power of 1900 LTE. (Or adjusted / tilted sectors, or whatever). But they only touched it slightly.

 

This may or may not have any bearing on your situation. But just thought I'd let you know, your not the only person experiencing that kind of thing.

Just saw a tower crew in the Sprint rack of the site on Grand River Ave and Ingersoll Rd. They had some equipment but I couldn't tell if it was new antennas and radios or what. I'll keep an eye out over the next few days as I drive by it daily.

We have Band 41 going up in strategic locations and I noticed a recent GMO conversion on our side of the state. Things are still progressing.

[jefbal99]

Confirmed new antennas this morning, but due to the sun and traffic, I couldn't really see any details.

I counted eight cables coming off the antenna, this is the first B41 equipment I've seen in Lansing

They're called jumpers by the way and there's 9.

 

One for calibrated mini-dim and 8 for tx/rx mini-dim.

It was foggy this morning and dealing with sun/traffic, once I got past six and knew there were still two cables, i focused back on the road

 

I have my DSLR with me, so I might get some pics on the way home, just depends on timing because the boy has a soccer game.

[rage_kage]

It's happening!

 

 

South of Coldwater.

[Blueshirt]

The tower at Fenn Rd or at Coldwater Lake?

Coldwater Lake. Fenn doesn't have 8T8R panels up yet.

Found some band 41 south of Battle Creek, MI! I was only able to connect to it on the north side of the tower. 

 

 

[RCM]

Caught a little bit of B41 in Lansing this morning near GM Delta Twp. Lost the connection as I was preparing to take screen shots.

[rage_kage]

Tower on the West side of Coldwater has B41 up and running as well.

We need B41 in downtown so badly. -64dBm on B25 today is .30mbps or less today.
