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.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
