Network Vision/LTE - Phoenix Market (including Flagstaff, Prescott)


MaxPower

Recommended Posts

There are 13 other towers between here and there within the same field of vision (I-17 to Central).  Must be another tower getting lit up.  

 

I'm well aware. I'm also telling you that it's entirely possible to pick it up from an elevated location.

 

The only way to know for sure is to get a screenshot of the LTE engineering screens from both locations and compare the serving cells.

LTE Signal on my iphone 5 - 53rd ave and Bell in Glendale

 

^^^^  this guy is a jerk ^^^^^

 

 

Edit...  we are in the same place but I can seem to get a signal

reset your radios 

 I reset radios in and out of airplane mode  rebooted even reflashed radios no go     but thanks.  I have been having ongoing reception issues with my gnex maybe this will be the straw that breaks the back and sprint will replace it for me

Usually the Gnex can pick up LTE decently. It just has issue big time with mapping. So don't map with Sensorly. It is usually the HTC EVO LTE and HTC One folks with issues picking up LTE.

Such a beautiful site.  I drove by the 42nd Ave & Bell location for a closer look.  Good news, it's HERE!   :tu:

Bad news, the signal cut off 1 mile from my house.  :td:

So jealous of the people who live in that apartment complex...

Mine didnt map either but I made it to grand and camelback before lte shit out

 

If you find that Sensorly isn't mapping and you are running a custom ROM then the developer of your ROM changed the carrier settings to something other than Sprint, so Sensorly just throws all of your points away.

Being a ROM developer/maintainer myself I'm just going to say.... that developer is an idiot!

 

Link to the rom your developing? Ive been meaning to change roms for a while perhaps I should go check xda and whats changed in the past month.

Was at the 43rd ave and bell rd one, awesome speeds, but the signal penetration sucks. Went to the gym on the north west corner of 43rd and lost complete signal of 4G.I also went to frys and lost the signal too. Hope they roll out the 800Mhz 4G soon.

based on previous roll outs in large cities, How long should we reasonably expect the network to be up and running city wide, from this point

 

It's going to be several months. You'll only see a few new sites a week, which means you'll get islands of LTE until the network is further along. The experience will improve week by week, but it will be a process.

Engineering tells us the plan is 27% with in the next three months, looking at when sites are slated to come up in glance, I could see this being a possibility. There should be a multitude of towers coming on in the next 3 weeks

    • 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?
