The tower in Lockeford on 88 (coming out of Lockeford heading to Clements) doesn't seem to be 800... Though I do get 800 randomly once in a while >.>

 

Galaxy Note 2 PRL 2xxx disables SMR 800.

Just a small dumb (to me) question, when an LTE site goes live, does it broadcast all 3 spectrums of LTE or is every site dedicated to 1 of the 3?

Each site  will be different. Some will, some will not.  2.5hz looks to be launching in only dense areas such as S.F. and L.A. type cities as of right now.

I know there's a Collier Rd, perhaps that's "collierville"?

There's actually a small community called Collierville. It's located between Collier Rd. and Jahant. I had to look it up the other day on Google Maps.

I was in south sac yesterday, neighborhood by Mack Rd and Franklin Blvd, and decided to run a speed test. I pulled some if the fastest speeds ever (http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/703399412).

 

I know there are some Sprint/Clearwire towers close by but they don't look new. Any insight/idea how this can be?

Contractors will be working overnight on the sprint tower at UCD starting soon. No exact dates but my building manager will let me know when they finish.  Is it dangerous to be near a tower when fully powered?

Unless you stand directly in front of the panel antenna for a long period of time (hours) you'll be fine.

I'm just going to assume since its 11:53PM the tower you were connected to wasn't that loaded. Also, isn't that by Raleys?(Not trying to say Raleys brings good omens cause, its the ghetto.)

 

:edit: Oh and correct me if i'm wrong =/

Yes, it's the ghetto.

The test I ran was actually at 3pm in the afternoon AND indoors.

Biased Benchmarking. Bah! :P

 

Also .5 up and down really isn't horrible for basic usability on a phone for the most part. Of course video streaming is out of the question, but has it ever been viable under Sprint 3G?

 

Considering I only get a bump to 1.5Mbit DSL at home, .5 is a reasonable usage speed to keep my device off of WiFi lol.

How much do you pay for your DSL?

Believe its around $24 month for one. and $32 for another (2 lines for 2 separate buildings). Yea its not great but there are no other options in my area. Wave broadband will not expand the 3 poles to the 4 houses in the area unless we pay like $3K+ for it.

 

With Connectify Dispatch, I can pair the 2 1.5's into a speedier 3.0Mbit for Steam/Torrent/Game Launcher's...

Yes one of the lines is AT&T. The other is Covad.

 

I am stuck at 1.5Mbit due to distance. Tried 3.0 once and it was up and down constantly.

 

Just the sacrifice for living in the boonies a bit.

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
