Picking up 800mhz this morning in Greensboro, at my home, off towers at Westover and Wendover, and battleground and Brian Blvd.   Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
