Irwinshere did fine by me. Kick the whiners to the curb. We don't host Sprint complaints. Period.   I could complain as much as the rest of you. No one is even disagreeing with them. But peopl

Anybody have any word on elyria or Oberlin. They turned on Amherst which is in between the two cities. They have 4G. Quite frankly I'm sick of getting dropped calls the last two weeks.

Work is going on in Elyria. There are several 3G 800 sites that I've been able to confirm complete.

No 4G yet?

 

Hope something improves in Oberlin.

I think they have to wait until all the sites on a particular cluster are done before they turn on lte. They can turn on the 3g one by one not the 4g. It is an issue with legacy sites.

Is it a different 3G then what Sprint had before? Or a site with 3G for the first time?

No. They can not turn anything on for any Motorola to Samsung market like Ohio. The whole cluster of a substantial amount of a cluster must be completely done before they turn anything on.

 

Motorola to Samsung hard handoff is a well documented issue and something sprint and Samsung does not want to experience again.

Well in the 2 weeks since my last post the data still sucks on Rockside between Turney Rd and 271. I get 3 & 4G blue data bars on my phone but no data comes thru (streaming just stops, no internet what so ever).  Maybe its my phone, I have a Galaxy Nexus, but I doubt it  - it works fine in other areas.

For the first time I have been on band 25 LTE in the Cuyahoga County Justice Center all morning. Still no LTE of any band in my office 16th floor of 55 Public Square.

Sweet-I was just at the BW3 at Richmond and Harvard, in Orange/Beachwood/Warrensville, and my Nexus 5 lit up with LTE... I made a call, and it immediatly went to 1xrtt/3g, and as soon as, and I mean instantly, when I hung up it went back to LTE CSFB seems to work really well.

That's always been an area where network changes happen fast, and the very nice Sensorly map has noted it thanks to all you trackers out there.

 

The main issue in Cleveland now seems to be wide swaths of the near- and far-Eastside that still have nothing. If history is a guide, many of those areas will take long if they ever get decent coverage. Neighborhoods like University Heights and Beachwood had useless coverage in many sections and it pains me to see how Sprint stores are located in places like Legacy Village where my phone switches to roaming every time.

 

When those are lit up, it'll be time to decide whether or not a new phone and contract are in the cards.

I live in Elyria, and have 4G a mile from my house, but cant even make a call on my street.  Luckily I have an Airrave in my home.

 

I was at the Sprint store near Midway Mall and their 'expert' there said "4G is completed in this area, what you have is what you are going to get."  of course he also said, "I live in Parma, and we have the fastest 4g in NE Ohio, 7 down and 3 up. I don't care if you are on Verizion, you won't get any faster than that..."   and "When I had my SGS3 I was getting 20 hours out of the stock battery, so you must have hacked your phone and messed it up to get 4 hours after the MK3 update.."

 

Really?  This guy is a doofus.  I showed him my speedtest screenshots over by Sams's Club that proves 24+ down and 7+ up, but he claims that must have been on WiFi.  I guess that little icon of the antenna with bars next to is was an error in the program, because he obviously knows.  And me and the other 10 thousand people complaining of meager battery life after MK3 are all obviously wrong...

 

I have been waiting PATIENTLY for 4G since the Evo 4G!  Come on Sprint!  Deliver on the promise for once!

I have an iPhone 4s and I can tell you that I start work at 6am in downtown Cleveland and the network is so fast at that time!  Not too many people in the offices so it smokes!  As 8 and 9 am approach though, the data becomes almost unusable and slow.  Not sure if they are 4g speeds at 6 am (which i doubt since my 4s doesn't do 4g!!) but whatever they are is sweet.  I just wish it was all day, every day, everywhere so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth paying the bill every month.

Usable speeds, not great but usable. Note the times.

 

It gets better. This is in an area with no upgrades other than possibly fiber backhaul and I'm not even sure if that's hooked up yet.

I can confirm that Montrose / Fairlawn area now has some LTE coverage. Nice to see the 77 corodor getting some LTE loving.

The site across from Copley HS on Ridgewood East of 21 has LTE, confirmed it the other day when I drove by.

I was inside a government building with plenty of windows today in a densely populated eastside suburb.

 

When I arrived there around 8am, there were 1-2 bars of signal inside the building. By 11am when I left, it had switched to roaming with no bars and my battery was 1/4 drained.

 

I hope this improves soon or Sprint may as well just close all their stores anywhere near or East of 271 because they won't sell a thing.

Most government buildings have high efficiency windows which block high frequency signal mostly signal above 1000Mhz.

I work in a government building too and it didn't seem to effect the early morning "decent" speeds, and I get worse speeds outside than I get inside so not too sure that being in a building is that big a deal but I could be wrong.

They are actively working in the Cleveland outlying areas. Should have progress near you in the coming weeks or at least months. The sponsor maps show where progress is being made. You should check them out.

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.

      I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
