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

Sprints LTE is working great in Charleston WV. I'm pulling 50 down and 15 up everywhere in Charleston on my lg g4. It's the fastest LTE I've ever used. The LTE won't work on most phones. Haven't dropped to 3g since I've gotten the G4 2 weeks ago. I will post screenshots of amazing speed but the image is to big

Pulled a 45x7 there

I'm curious how wide of an LTE channel this is and if they have more than 1 carriers deployed out in nTelos land.

Why is there lte in waynesboro but not charlottesville? Ugh, hurry up.

Yeah, I hear you! Caught LTE passing by Waynesboro late this summer on my way to Staunton from C'ville. It's so hard to wait!

Charlottesville VA is long out of the way are you sure it's not Charleston WV.

 

As for the LTE some don't need "lte only" mainly people on galaxy s6 for some reason. nTelos is already rough without those handoff issues so it can be hard to tell.

 

Hopefully Pittsbugh was not as bad but it depends where you were. But that is a different thread.

It was odd. I was in driving through WV on I-79 (don't remember where now) and the SID that I was getting on 1x was 4379, which according to a website I had found, was Charlottesville VA. But now according to a web search, it is for Beckley WV and Morgantown WV (among other places). I don't have a huge knowledge of SID's so I got a little confused when searching. I was probably near Beckley when I was trying to connect.

 

And Sprint in Pittsburgh was great. I have heard many good things about that market and it lived up to it's hype. :)

Looks like optimistic spillover from a North Carolina market. Not actual coverage in your market.

Nah.. Ridgeway VA maybe but we are to far away from the NC line for that. This is new for the coverage maps, i check them pretty often.

Spoke to a few friends today who live in Charleston WV. Only one of them use Sprint (Boost), they are getting 4g. I asked her to do a speed test, install sensorly so we can get an update.

There are at least 2 band 25, a band 26 and 1 band 41 in some places.

SID 4379 seems to be all over nTelos. I was having issues in Beckley it may he to do with 312-190 showing up on I79(still couldn't connect). I find it strange that some areas it connects to that plmn and some places it doesn't.

 

If I hyped Pittsburgh I am sorry I am just suprised by the tech going up. There is still to many holes to recommend them.

 

Wait is that confirmed...??!! Charlestown WV?

Yes but it is hard to connect atleast UPdownLoAD and I both connected to LTE around Charleston. Some say the galaxy s6 connects easier.(ie without roaming) More info like a map and SCP database with notes can be found in the premier thread.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
