You guys are in for a treat. Shentel is almost universally agreed to have the some of the best sprint markets anywhere.   Soon™   Sent from my Nexus 5

Warning: Long, but worth the read.  I just wanted to give a good customer service experience with Shentel. On one sector of the tower closest to my house (Woodstock, VA), B26 had zero data throug

I wonder what kind of errors sprint will see by using 310120, I wonder if they use GCI's on the back end to identify towers and if they will start to send some of that data out to New Jersey to the wrong site. Hopefully they have static IP or use the site name to identify what site gets what data sent to it.

 

On a side note I ran through nTelos yesterday I did not connect to lte. But I had my phone set to "lte only" and I saw something strange south of Morgantown WV I saw a 10 by the BW. So maybe 10x10 in Morgantown when lte comes on for sprint users.  2015-09-05%2009.37.02.png?dl=0

 

That's bang in the middle of the PCS D block and B block...which exact spectrum holdings did nTelos have?

Got a very weak LTE signal out in the parking lot of my work office up in the Northgate business park in Charleston, WV. Indoors nothing, but that is the same for all cell signals up here at Northgate.

 

Speed test showed about 300KB a sec.

Now that's promising. So far away from a native Sprint signal, that must be something good in the works. If you can next time when you connect, please take a screen shot of SignalCheck Pro and post here. Thanks.

312-190 is one of sprints like unused mcc-mncs right?

 Yes, it is assigned to Sprint: http://www.imsiadmin.com/ByHNIns.cfm

To me the weird thing is that this time and the last time I got this random Sprint signal is that when I run a speed test I get slow speeds. This time I got 1.3 by 4.1. However I was able to watch 2 Youtube videos in 1440p with no buffering and started almost instantly.

Try a different speed test app or a different server and see if it changes.

Exactly.  Sounds like the speed tests being run were not accurate.

So, this was unusual today - SCP showing connection to nTelos tower WITH location. I've never seen that before. Gotta wonder if something's happening . . .

(More wondering)

(Thought I took a screenshot, apparently did not)

EDIT: Here ya go - shows up on notification, but not the full screen:  (2nd EDIT - I found the setting in SCP that allows BSL address when a Note is present.  Duhhh!!!  OK, move along, nothing to see here . . .))

I have the same thing showing up as well up in Greene County. Never noticed it till I happen to see yours and checked mine. Always had the BSL on to see where the towers where btw.

An employee called my sprint phone from her Ntelos phone at 8:30pm and we both had HD calling. I had spoke to her 2 hours earlier and we didn't so I guess they just turned that on in the Martinsville/Collinsville area tonight. The BSL address started showing on the towers here recently to.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
