LTE 1900 and 2.5Ghz is fine and dandy but depending upon the coverage and penetration of LTE 800 will be the only reason I stay, or leave, sprint.

 

Does anyone have any experience with LTE 800 than can speak to its speeds and penetration in buildings?

In foster city, I can get 3 Mbit on b26 when I am taking a dump with the door closed.

Same scenario, but in the upstairs bathroom, and I get about 5mbps on band 25 in Elk Grove. Downstairs, no LTE.

Hey I'm back. My ID was NeRD or NeRD_ with a NeRD Inside logo for my avatar. I deleted my old email account and forgot my password to this forum. I'm the one who mapped 109 miles in one night just north of Sac International Airport.

 

Is there a way to recover access to my account and change the email account to the one I used to create this account? Help, NeRD down!

Also I'm on Windows Phone now (8XT, and then HTC One M8 Windows on the 21st). Glad Tapatalk exists over here but I seem to be shafted on the Sensorly side.

Hm, picking up LTE in Rancho Cordova this morning as well, looks like from a tower in fair oaks, and data services are a bit wonky.  Can't upload my signal check pro screen. BCI 0AC00C00  Fluctuating between -91 dBm (28 asu) and -114 dBm (12 asu)

Did the kilgore tower in rancho go live?

I'll check when I am home in an hour or so. The equipment is running, so possibly. I didn't have anything this morning before I left for work.

No. Look at the signal reception. If you're near a tower that's live you'll have less than -80 dBm RSRP. You're getting a signal from the park site which is live.

I am now getting 4g LTE in Folsom at my work on east bidwell near blue ravine and at home (Orangevale) off Madison and blue oak. I mapped it yesterday on my way home from blue ravine down east bidwell and it dropped off around old folsom and picked back up around folsom auburn rd.

Thank God because my contract has been up and have seriously been considering dropping Sprint. Hopefully the speeds get better because the max that I have gotten is around 4 down and 3 up on speed test.

Only two out of 10 or so are live. The cluster was only fired up last week after all.

 

If you want to know exactly where and what sites are live feel free to become a sponsor and look at my progress map.

Yeah. Quite a few went live.

 

I've mentioned which ones to in my sponsor thread but I'm out and about 100 miles away from my desktop so I can't give a location.

 

What I can say is there sites live in citrus Heights, Orangevale, fair Oaks, folsom, and Rancho Cordova.

Don't get too excited just yet, pull off Greenback and back to the awesomeness of 3G, albeit a tinge better then it was last month.

 

I'm just excited for the future as long as they keep offering unlimited plans. I dropped sprint and went for verizon a while back so I'm well covered on 4G LTE until sprint gets its act together. I might actually just stick with verizon after recently seeing how thick their coverage is though. The difference is pretty major so sprint has to show not only some massive speed upgrades but coverage area upgrades as well. Unlimited nothing plans are worthless afterall.

I don't recall seeing anything reported about this Rancho Cordova site (unless that's what "the park" site was referring to- but at the time I assumed it meant "Security Park"). I took these screenshots yesterday on the way home from work (sensorly was running in the background as well, I also was running it this morning on the way to work and it was still 4G live):

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?

      Came back in operation between 7 to 9am.  Roaming on T-Mobile and AT&T never went out so most people would not have noticed.

      Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
