rkopsie Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I am seeing new purple on Sensorly on US 60 in Mesa around the Gilbert Road area. Has anyone had the chance to try the N5 in the Phoenix area in and around the LTE sites to see how the phone works in switching from 3G and holding signals? I also see someone mapped out east of Old Town... sweetness :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jontomosicz Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 My Nexus 5 at my house in Chandler will connect to LTE, then disconnect and drop back to eHRPD/1x. I think we have the eCSFB issue here in PHX. Has anyone with a tri-band phone had luck connecting to LTE in Phoenix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciege Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Has anyone with a tri-band phone had luck connecting to LTE in Phoenix? The first 2 days I had my N5 it connected to LTE fine, but I couldn't get any phone calls to come through. I could make outgoing calls however. I have since turned off LTE and I get and can make calls as expected. I've left LTE off for now until the issues can be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdaz19 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Just noticed that parts of ASU Tempe had LTE coverage today. Walked around campus, and there was better LTE coverage on the north side near University Dr. I'd map it on Sensorly, but I'm on an iPhone.

I drove all around the Tempe ASU campus last night trying to find and map the LTE but couldn't find it.

Lol, determined.. Jk.. I went by there on the 202 and never got a connection, thought it was odd.. Maybe drove too fast but that's great speeds for LTE I'm liking that, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working late and dropped a guy off at the condos right there and noticed I had a strong LTE signal so I parked and tested it out! I have noticed sometimes I have to reset my data connection for it to get LTE when I'm just driving around.

2ndchance Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Looks like I finally have LTE near my house (59th Ave & 101). It's been a week and stable. Speeds are ok, but not the 20+mbps I was hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Looks like I finally have LTE near my house (59th Ave & 101). It's been a week and stable. Speeds are ok, but not the 20+mbps I was hoping for. Until TD-LTE is rolled out across the Phoenix area, 20+Mbps download speeds are not going to be the norm. There's a reason Sprint advertises LTE speeds of 6-8Mbps. Not because that's all you'll see, but because that will be the speeds the average user sees. To get 20+, you need to have pretty good conditions. A strong signal, fairly close to the site, with few other users connected. As more sites come online, speeds may come up a little bit. In the Kansas City area, where nearly every site has LTE online, my speeds average between 10 and 15Mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utiz4321 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 The tower on Broadway and Dobson is broadcasting lte. Before you ask I have an iPhone so can't map it. But happy thanksgiving to me I get lte in my home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runagun Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Another good way to tell if 4G is on, look at the network maps on sprint. And if theirs 2 data speeds on the tower its most likely on. Not 100% right but very close. https://network.sprint.com/AZ/Phoenix/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savageman13 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 6LTE updates today. Moving right along! Now if only the tower by my work would be done. It has been dropping signal randomly, is that any indication of anything? I thought i saw them running fiber in the street on 48th and Baseline a week or 2 ago.

kx250ryder Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) For anyone in the know, is backhaul non-existent south east of the loop 202 in the towns of Gilbert and Queen Creek? Aside from a tower that just switched on near Higley and Chandler Heights (6 miles due west of me), I see no dark purple in the area on Sensorly.

Edit: punctuation http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5072-not-complete-maps/ This is a great resource it has two maps one that shows no nv activity at all and one that shows NON LTE sites these two maps pretty much tell you where you are waiting on backhaul if there is a dot in both maps then you are waiting on the contractor to put network vision up.. if there is no dot on the NV map but one on the non lte site then you are waiting on backhaul. best thing you could do is go ahead and donate to the site... and get sponsor status then follow the above link.
