Network Vision/LTE - West Kentucky Market (Louisville, Evansville, Bowling Green)

[Nicodemus]

You said 800 is starting to spin up there in louisville are you talking about 800lte or voice 800?

 

As far as I'm aware of its voice 800.  LTE is still awhile away on 800 too.

Voice is all I can confirm. I do not have a Tri-band device yet. I do have an LG G2 preordered though.

[duddys31]

Well I was on the way home and theyre working on the comberland trace rd site. I got one of the sectors. I will check again in the morning.

[duddys31]

Getting LTE in my home for the first time ever. Near Frankfort and State st in Louisville.

Just hit 25/7 on the sensorly speed teston Story ave. Map doesn't show any 4g here, but connecting at 85db on my g2

[mdob07]

If you can, map it out on Sensorly.

[turin39789]

Running the trip map, not sure how it gets incorporated. Did another speed test near the silver dollar, same results

[turin39789]

Speed tests are showing up on map

I'm starting to pick up lte speeds around the Morgantown Road Walmart, in Bowling Green. When I opened Signal Check Pro the speeds were coming from both the WKU tower and the industrial drive tower.

 

Edit: It's also coming from the Briggs Hill site as well.

I had picked up LTE in Louisille/Shepherdsville for about 3 or 4 weeks with great signal strength.  Then suddenly it like they flipped the switch and turned everything off again. Why would they turn it on just to turn it back off.  I've been back to the 3g now for about 2-3 weeks again.

May want to check the settings on your phone. Even on my LG G2 with the CSFB issues, i have LTE nearly everywhere I go in Louisville. You can see mapped coverage on Sensorly. Shepherdsville you may or may not pick it up depending on where you are. The tower in Shepherdsville has not been converted yet. There is a tower near Brooks and another south of Shep that are LTE live. Shepherdsville is on the edge of both of these. Backhaul has been ran to the Shepherdsville site for almost 10 months now. Hopefully they start on it soon.

Well i just got my lg g2 but cant pick up lte but from one site even in lte mode is their some other settings that i can change to get it.

[duddys31]

Well I was wondering if anybody knew what was the hold up on the site on three springs rd is. Its had backhaul for 4 or 5 months for sure so I wouldnt think that could be the issue does anyone have any detailed info on this perticular site?

Getting 4G LTE all over Evansville, IN now.  Never seen a announcement about getting it but, it is here.

It will probably be included in the next launch. City is mainly done with just a handful of sites remaining. West KY had made huge progress in the past 6 weeks.

Which makes it ever sadder that the East side has gotten shafted.

The overall performance of LTE in Bowling Green has been fantastic. I have about 4 months left on my contract with sprint and was going to determine whether I stayed with the company based on it. I can definitely say, I'll be sticking with them a couple more years.

[duddys31]

Does anybody have any idea when the next launch of cities will be? And was wanting to know if in louisville can you pull band 41 from the protection sites or will they not get any lte love. Cause the one in bowling green has huwaei equipment on it and i thought that stuff was gonna have to be replaced?

Yeah man, I understand, its okay.  I guess I just thought that some little country town would be "last" instead of one of the biggest metro areas in the state.

[jonzjonz187]

They are still expanding in the riverport area. I got Lte at my job the weekend before Christmas. It's better than it is at my house.

[S4GRU]

I feel everyone's pain. But for how late the West Kentucky market got started, its progress has been impressive. One of the fastest deployment rates of all the markets.
