Network Vision/LTE - Winston/Salem Market (including Greensboro)

[map0824]

Sprint announced 34 markets today.  None that would really affect us.  I guess we just have to keep holding on.

The site covering that area was the one off of market near wendover. I think they finally adjusted the tilt of the antennas down. It was covering a huge area for awhile.

 

All quiet this week. Some sites that had been up were off today. For instance where Holden and High Point Rd cross. Have not seen LTE anywhere I have not seen it in the past. Just have to be patient.

I thought Highpoint and Holden was an antenna near the mall.  If it is coming from that far away I would be impressed.

everything you see in sensorly (inside city limits) is from 1 tower.

The one on Veasly st? Man I wish...

That 1 tower is covering about 25% of the city limits, maybe 20%.  Still that is a lot from one tower!!!

If it has not been done yet, it will be adjusted to match its 3g foot print.

So when a tower is first upgraded the transmitters are pointed almost level which gives you a huge footprint.  After testing is completed they are adjusted to a normal footprint overlapping the 3G from that tower.  That explains some of those spots where you get LTE and then it is gone the next time you go looking for it.  So I think there are two towers on in High Point and the one we know about in Greensboro, three others outside the city limits in Guilford County.

LTE could be there...if you're not toggling the data connection yourself it could be 15 min before scans.   There are apps to help with this.

That seems to be the theory but I haven't seen any evidence in that our market at all.

I go from Oak Ridge to Greensboro to High Point every day so if a tower is on I should see it at some point.  I always have my Sensorly on so I will know if I have found anything new.  Have been seeing LTE in the downtown Greensboro area but I think it is bleed thru from some where else.  The signal does not lead to a tower.  Also as Sprint switches its Clear wire  to LTE there will be better coverage but everyone will need new phones since that is a different frequency.  Rumors about tri band phones are out there but when where and how is still just rumors.  Talked to Sprint tonight and they are still saying that they will be done by the end of the year.  I get a strong 3G signal at home so if my nearest tower is switched I will know right away.

Supposed to be massively ramped up on installs and 3g conversions starting in November, I guess we will see how long it takes to finish.

I think I found the tower that covers my house.  It is just off Beeson Road, just off Hwy 150

[k4ax]

Near church street?

No this is in Oak Ridge, it is still a 3G tower.

Just took Wendover from 68 to Market, Market to Dolley Madison, Dolley Madison to Friendly. Sensorly on all the way and absolutely nothing indicating 4G in the entire area. Did they shut it down?

[map0824]

I think they adjusted the antenna's so the coverage will be a smaller area.  You need to be down near the sheetz to tell if it is off.  I got some of south east area.  The tower is between Millpoint and Kessee, between Thacher Dairy and Mcdonnell.  Very rural down there so you can't go on to many other roads there.

[map0824]

I mean the Sheetz near Holden not near Friendly on Market.

[map0824]

I think it is off.  I was near there today and did not get a signal.

[JJH]

Yep. Just ran from the intersection of Market & Walker to Guilford College Rd. and didn't detect any 4G signal.

[map0824]

Saw some spots of 4G, at MiMi's for lunch and had LTE but it went off soon as I started driving.  Also by the Y downtown.

[map0824]

In Winston today. None of the known LTE spots seem to be on.

[RightNow]

Asheboro was that way over the weekend. Known LTE areas we're 3G only and had no data for all intent. Ramseur lit up this week for the first time.

Where exactly? I had LTE all day at work.
