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

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
