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

Yeah, but it doesn't make sense to me, working perfectly until the update this morning... maybe the uicc card I have isn't actually 4g?

There's a good chance this is the problem. UICCs control LTE authentication. It's possible the LTE part has been broken this whole time and there was no way for you to find out until now.

Your PRL does not control your LTE access.

In this case wouldnt the new prls have effect for the LTE Roaming+ and LTE Roaming?

No. PRLs do not affect your LTE connection. It is based on PLMN authentication and TAC. Sites broadcasting the proper PLMN will be able to authenticate your device regardless of PRL.

Could that also be the reason why I can't update the prl?

Not sure. Mine automatically updated last night with no problems.

Has anyone else noticed if they select the devices that are suppose to support the LTE Roaming+ and LTE Roaming that the Teal/Dark Teal areas go away? Or is it just me tried clearing out my cache a few times and still does it for some reason.

They haven't loaded individual device roaming coverages yet.

Thought it might be that but wasn't 100% sure.

Getting tired of the waiting game for today, so I am resorting to golden oreos dipped in hot coacoa...

 

It's the bomb!

I just enjoyed the birthday cake flavored oreos with some milk.

 

What a time to be alive!

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
