Shentel / Sprint LTE - (was ntelos - West & N&W Virginia)

[JDP121]

So the big news is LTE in Roanoke now??  So is cville on now?  Again I'm out of town so can't check.  But DC has LTE. 

 

Im in Ruckersville and picking up lte. So since Im picking it up there Im going to guess that Ch'ville is going to have it as well.

So far, most of the reports have been for Band 26. The Note 2 does Band 25 only. Until B25 is opened up in your area, the Note 2 will not pick it up.

What? Whoops maybe I spoke too soon.  Anyone else in cville seeing LTE?

[S4GRU]

It was said by Roanoke Rep that nTelos' existing LTE footprint in Charlottesville is pretty small. So even when it is turned on for Sprint customers, it's not going to be much initially. It will likely not grow further than what nTelos has done until Shentel takes over and continues deployment.

Nothing here in Beckley. ): But glad to see something of substance happening.

A friend here at work (Heiners) has LTE on his nTelos phone. Makes me sick ????

Just for clarification, are you people who are picking up nTelos LTE with Sprint phones doing anything extra to connect to it or is your device just registering on the network automatically?

I did a ##update#

Anyone else in cville?

NOTE IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE CONNECTING TO LTE USE THE FOLLOWING.

 

First change your network mode off of CDMA ONLY if it's been changed.

 

Than try the following

 

##update#

 

or

 

##scrtn#

(Iphone users use ##clear# or General->Reset->Reset Network Settings)

[JohnnyP]

Tried both on the Optimus G but no LTE

So, after my second ##update#, it's here (Ivy, west of C'ville)!

 

EDIT: Definite speed improvement over previous <1 Mps:

 

Happy Thanksgiving to us all! ????

I just connected to LTE in Beckley after a ##CLEAR# and two ##UPDATE# and some patients for it to get out of "No Service". Attempting to upload screenshots now but Tapatalk is not cooperating!!

 

Oh what a day to be alive [emoji276]

LTE on but for some reason having communications issues in Preston County about 15 miles outside Morgantown WV. Unable to get speed check to run on my 5s.

[Roanoke_Rep]

Does anyone else have a Nexus 6, I am pulling LTE according to SignalCheck Pro but I can't connect to Data unless I swap back to 3G only??

[shawneyboy123]

It only stays connected for about 60 seconds and then drops to No Service and then I get a pop up saying it could not connect to a cellular network and to turn on wifi and then it reconnects to 3G and I have to force it on LTE by ##UPDATE# again with my phone in the window.
