Seems like someone traveled I64 in Huntington, but still need to see what parts of the city can access...

That was me. I had to run to bestbuy. Held onto band 41 all the way from ceredo exit to almost 5th Street. And its blazing fast see my earlier speedtest screenshot.

Lte lights up on my Samsung s5 in Morgantown but doesn't let me access the network. Its bs and a huge tease! If someone has a fix for this let me know

Good morning all.  I did some mapping with Root Metrics this morning from Fairmont (Whitehall) to Morgantown (Westover Exit/Granville) and I got some different results.  Seems as if there is now LTE in parts of Fairmont.  It was spotty at times.  Areas were great from Nasa building to interstate.  Got spotty around east fairmont and just about a mile north of Goshen Rd, however I was at times hitting speeds of 25Mbps, but mostly from 7 to 14 Mbps..

For all you Charlottesville people on iPhones 6s or iphones in general.  What is your iOS?  I'm still on iOS 9.02 but then again I'm jailbroken too.  Just wondering if the LTE would be better on 9.1  I'm still getting spotty LTE in cville sometimes it will go to 3g then 1x then no service.  Noticed in Walmart section of town it's 3g and spotty LTE.

Be on the lookout for LTE roaming on US Cellular, which I know is in your area.  http://s4gru.com/ind...nt-lte-roaming/

Not sure if Huntington has it... Nobody here can even get US Cellular. I tried to activate one for my sister last month.

 added map outtake to US Cellular post.  Crosshatched areas are Sprint.  Same Color without crosshatches is US Cellular LTE.where you might get LTE Roaming.

    • Its crazy what MM wave is capable of in ideal conditions. I took advantage of some overnight work this week to do some testing on my way home.  https://imgur.com/a/zPNUWVs
    • I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.
    • Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.
    • Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
