Cloaker Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Also, I'm no expert, but I think the north tower is at highway 52 and I-25. Southwest corner of that intersection. There's a tower there. I was getting the highest speeds on the bridge. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philibuster Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hey guys. New to the forum. But I've lurked a lot. I mapped that Frederick tower a little more and did quite a few speed tests. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2 Nice speeds, but slow pings. What's up with that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnesShawn Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Nice speeds, but slow pings. What's up with that? Its a cell phone. I dont think we are going to be playing Halo or Counterstrike anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realch1nky Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I was snooping around a bit, and found a tower permit close to my house here in Parker. I have getting in-and-out signal and 1X for the past few days after full bars and 3g for the past few years. I was wondering if this had to do with anything LTE around here in the Parker area. I can drive to Sports Authority Stadium (not field at mile high. its where my local highschool plays at) where the tower is at since its only a 3 minute drive. I honestly don't know what the tower looks like and there has been a helluva lot of housing development in the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiutehcuhtli Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Nice speeds, but slow pings. What's up with that? likely due to the device and proximity to the tower. If you notice a few pages back on the couple of speed tests I ran a week or so ago on my Optimus G, I never had ping over 83ms. I will run some more tonight and upload the results.

I honestly don't know what the tower looks like and there has been a helluva lot of housing development in the area I doubt it is being worked on yet since it is still in review. I've been looking at the douglas county site as well (i live in Highlands Ranch). My understanding is that these presubmittals are a review before they submit the actual permit application. As for the tower, it appears to be a white pole in front of the fire station. Most poles in Highlands Ranch and probably Parker are stealth poles so it will be harder to track them. You can see the pole here: https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=8165+N+Pinery+Pkwy%2C+Parker%2C+CO+80134&data=!1m8!1m3!1d3!2d-104.733952!3d39.459148!2m2!1f29.56!2f88.87!4f75!2m4!1e1!2m2!1stBhCPy2YfDG-BytBoUX21w!2e0!4m11!1m10!4m8!1m3!1d98371!2d-104.8575216!3d39.6022395!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!17b1&fid=5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiutehcuhtli Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 sprint lte in colorado is too slow!!!! they need to go faster!! have you used it? near as i can tell from your innumerable posts you've never had lte appear on your device. my experience, as someone who uses it literally every night, is that the speeds are tremendous.

xiutehcuhtli Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yes, after re-eading it i see you are probably correct. Nevertheless, i love the lte speeds. Not as fast as what i see out of ATT and Verizon, but plenty fast. Everyone is going to be very satisfied once widespread deployment is finalized.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4 Beta It may not be other-worldly, but that's sometimes 2 orders of magnitude over what everyone else gets! And the occasional 40ms ping is eye popping.

Craig Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 I was in Minneapolis Monday night and was across the street from an LTE tower near the Mall of America. Inside with no direct line of sight to the tower, I got 26 down / 11 up w/ 50ms ping. I'm not worried about speeds once build out on all bands is complete. Back in Nov, I saw a tower near I-70 and Quebec with a cherry picker lifted up to it. I can't tell if there are NV panels installed as I'm flying by at 60MPH, but that is my guess for the next tower to be turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I'm predicting three more LTE towers in the Denver area soon. Area has been EV-DO most of the day. I have no real basis for three towers, just a WAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no real basis for three towers, just a WAG. I think I can support that WAG. Sounds reasonable to me.

Craig Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just to make it more likely that I score a success, let's call it all of the front range (minus Colo Springs of course since one man has single handedly pushed that deployment back weeks). I honestly have no idea, but there have been a lot of EV-DO reversions lately and last time that happened, we got out first taste of the LTE love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ew2x4 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) I'm in Colorado Springs. Service here is going nuts. 3G is usually a solid 300 kbps down, but it's jumping to 1.5 mbps down. Pings have been super low, in the 70-90's. Hopefully we'll see LTE soon. Or at least stable good 3G. Hopefully the troll didn't jinx us too bad.
