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.

I knew I wasn't nuts. The lte lasted from west over to about east fairmont exit.

1900 was like 1-3mbit   2500 goes from 5-10mbit but it looks like spark isnt enabled.  it say CA is not configed

Wow that's fast dethalis, I'm 2 miles away from starkey but still no LTE for me. Maybe Sprint hates me?

On a positive note though, the 3G seems a lot better today, maybe because only me and the Boost guys are still on it...

Come on Lynchburg!  Let's go!  Our for a city on the rise and overtaking a lot of the others, it deserves some much needed LTE!

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.

My daughter's new 6s had been picking up LTE, but she says the signal is poor and speed is slow (compared to Maine)

Called Boost CS last night. Depressing.

Boost customers can't access LTE in this area until the Shentel acquisition....

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

 

[COMO83]

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

So in Fairmont/Morgantown we are roaming off of US Cellular (or may be...) Is there a way I could find out?

 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.
