Someone posted a LTE test on RootMetrics near Liberty. I'll test it tomorrow to see if it's live... This would be the best Christmas gift ever!

 

Someone else in my office is getting an LTE signal but it looks like the speed isn't what it should be..he was only getting .9-1.1 mb. 

 

But things are happening!

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

Depends on the area. I've seen an average 8 to 14. Had one peak out at 30ish.

What kind of speed is everyone getting on the new SheNtelos LTE?

 

Super psyched to see some sites poping up in lynchburg, but I am trying to find the perfect time to switch back while still getting all the sprint incentives.

I generally get about 5mbps-10 and at home regularly get 15-25 Mbps. It's all about the area

Looks like what I need to switch...Thanks everyone. I am ok with dealing with spotty coverage for a few months to save $40 on our monthy and get new iPhones

It varies really. I've hit 26 down but in 90% of places it's about 6 down. Much better than the 3G of course. Oddly enough even when on B41 I can't get out of the upper teens in downtown Morgantown.

Yep, just tried some airplane mode toggles, profile and PRL updates, turned off work Wi-Fi - nothin'. Still get the no data until eHRPD switched back to EVDO scenario as always, too. LTE seems fine for me elsewhere.

 

EDIT: Just noticed the original post went out via the Sprint 1X 800 tower in Troy, way east of town, even though I'm smack dab in the middle of town. More transition squirreliness, I guess.

Ill be going back through UVa Corner and stuff in about an hour to pick a family member up from work and Ill see if I stay on LTE this time or drop back to 3G. Ill let you all know when I get back home. Ill map it again like I did this morning. Also just finished mapping some new area's up near the airport and down towards Stonefield area's as well.

Just went down Ridge St. After an airplane mode toggle, I was able to get and keep LTE (mostly 800) down to almost I-64 where I stopped. Mapped on Spotify, and, as always, logged on SCP. Probably need to send another log file to flompholph soon. ;)

I have been seeing "Sprint LTE" on 3 of our phones but not a stitch of data.

 

Have been trying in Chaelottesville since it first appeared. I have a 6S Plus and have tried everything, even banging my head against the wall with chat. My wifes M9 shows LTE and no data, same for my N6 before traded in.

 

Any ideas? Just wait it out?

Same here man and i guess we just have to wait but have you ported numbers in or anything like that? Just trying to find a common thread for those of us doing without

      Here's my personal best, as well as the maximum speed I was able to get over 5gbps USB tethering. Millimeter wave is definitely a lot of fun, and I wish AT&T and T-Mobile would deploy a lot more of it.

      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

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
