signalchaser Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Just took a trip down through Peterborough to Rindge. I had a steady 1x800 signal on the main drag and it was usable inside Hannaford with about 30-60k per second downloads. I am new to cell ids but it had the same number as the 1x800 signal I had in Lebanon on Monday. I am not sure if it is the same tower or not. Regardless, I also picked up a weak band 26 in Hannaford parking lot there tonight. I am able to say that the signal down there just edges out Verizon.

signalchaser Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I took a drive around the Uncanoonuc mountain again today. It seems that I wasn't able to get the 1x800 signal there like last time. Looking up some older data shows that Sprint or Nextel had permits for up there. They need to light up a tower there with 800mhz. Tmobile has most bands up there and the signal stomps on the surrounding area very well. Band 12 travels a good 12 miles west of there. Does anyone know the history of Sprint having towers online up there or if they are able to turn anything back on? I can upload some pictures if anyone can identify some of these old offline towers.

I do not believe that there are any Sprint sites in that area these days, 800 or otherwise. Coverage is sparse in the areas west of Manchester unless you're along 101 or 91. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So my parents are moving to northern NH...(dont ask me why 65 year olds would want to retire there). Coverage maps show no Sprint service but they have been looking at houses and said they had good data and voice coverage. If they kept Sprint would they breach their contract with all the roaming? Can I recommend US Cellular? They will be doing a lot of driving around NE and probably winter in SC or maybe FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppleFanBoy Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 So I'm vacationing in Maine this week and have been roaming on US Cellular. Got an email notification about my wife's line reaching 75% of her data roaming allotment. The email also said data roaming will be suspended after reaching 100% which is fine. I'd rather be cutoff than automatically charged for overages. We've been trying to limit our data use to email, Google maps, and some Facebook. I've seen mostly band 12 but occasionally I'll pick up band 5. Sent from my iPhone 6S Plus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, you have a good week of weather up here at least! If you like it hot. I assume you are at the ocean though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banananuts87 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Vacationed in Stowe, Burlington and Waterbury, VT. Almost no improvements to the network since last year. No band 41 and LTE coverage is spotty. The 3G fall back is poor and tons of roaming when on I-89..... Band 26 still isn't cleared to be used here correct?

Beautiful area...not so much for cell service though. One thing I found was that i was roaming on some carrier called "Devon Mobile Communication" now and then according to signal check. Never heard of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
