That would be awesome if they are right, I always struggled to get usable 3G at the airport on Sprint, that area really needed work.

 

I have been walking around Honeoye Falls and am at work now, no other sign of the mysterious 4G signal I had pop up twice at my house. I am therefore doubtful it came from one of the two towers in town. The signal was really weak, like -115 to -120 before it vanished a few seconds after, so I was definitely on the very edge.

 

I can only assume that it probably came from one of the towers farther to the south.

 

Hopefully all this news means that work in Rochester is going to start getting some momentum again!

I have just now caught up on the Rochester thread. I hadn't been able to read this thread since August. Some notes:   1. I am not behind on Rochester NV Site update maps and never have been. I don't

Yes, these people.   Being the face of sub-par Sprint service 50+ hours a week has really taken it's toll over the last year or so. Constantly telling people to be patient and promising them (becaus

When I purchased the note 3 on launch. The assistant manager said he had 4G at tinsel town before he entered the movies last week. When the movie was over it was gone. Told me, he heard by the end of the year most of Rochester should be live. Someone else said March 2014.

I just circumnavigated the airport with a quick stop to Tinseltown.  Only slow 3G the whole time.  I couldn't even get a 250KBps download from Speedtest.net.  No sign of LTE in the west side suburbs.

 

My LTE experience near Rochester has been limited to Dansville and Brockport.

Damn that's really sad :-( the customer that reported 4G at the airport must have been talking about WiMax or something.

 

I definitely did have LTE in Honeoye Falls south of the city though, even if it was only a weak signal for a few seconds. I am hoping they won't be too much longer with another big "lightning round" of upgrades.

She has a GS4 so no WiMax. Perhaps smoking crack though.

If only she knew that spreading false information would get everyone who looked at this thread's hopes up only to have them smashed into a million sad little pieces... Lol.....

Normally I wouldn't take a civilians word for anything but she was very enthusiastic about it.

Well that's just weird then. No idea how someone could be excited about seeing 4G when there's no 4G. Maybe she was right and they are doing testing or something over there, who knows.

Well I work on Marketplace Drive in Henrietta, and take 390 South to go home.  Hooked up to weak LTE Passing the THruway exit (Where I normally have 5 full bars of 3g) so I think I was actually connecting to a different tower.  Once I got past the Thruway overpass I was back on 3g, then another short blip just before the Rush exit.  I was streaming Slacker the whole way, no stoppages.  I'll fire up sensorly tomorrow (if I remember).

 

Great progress after a long dead period!

What are you using to get the signal strengths showing in the notification bar?

EDIT:  Never mind... Found it...

I found it browsing through this site, took me a while to figure out what it was but I'm really glad I did.

 

For anyone reading this, the app is called SignalCheck Pro and I really recommend it.

I used sensorly coming in to work today, mirrors pretty closely with the map on sensorly. Signal was weak again so I don't think it's coming from the tower next to 390. I'll drive around a bit after work and see if I can pick up some more lte

Very NICE :)

 

The tower I picked up on 390 near Hylan Dr. must be pretty far away.  I drove past the same spot about two hours later, this time going north, and didn't get any 4G on my phone.

 

Regardless, I'm stoked.  Soon!

To my suprise today, I got started getting 4G LTE today while out in Henrietta NY. I was talking on the phone when I lost the call and then I looked at my phone to redial and I saw 4G and was so shocked. I don't remember reading that the Rochester market had it 4G turned on yet. I haven't even found it on the Sprint list of cities with LTE turned on.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      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.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
