Network Vision/LTE - Colorado Market (Denver/Colo Springs/Fort Collins/Pueblo/Grand Jct)

[philibuster]

Is backhaul the biggest roadblock to getting LTE in Denver/Colorado?

Probably backhaul, and getting work permits approved. It's likely a pretty big hassle to get permits in the area. Which is why towers tend to pop up in less populated areas first.

Getting full LTE downtown CO Springs again. Speed is still slow. Pings arouns 60-70 ms, which is nice. I'm barely breaking 1 mbps though.

Seems like site acceptance has trickled in Colorado over the last couple of weeks. Good news is that at least Denver is issuing permits so maybe it will pick up here shortly?

what is the avg distance of 1x800 tower and how long does it take for a 800 tower to get accepted???

Go home. You're drunk.

They travel 3.141592... miles and get accepted sqrt(-1) days after Einstein flips the switch.

I haven't been here long, but I get the feeling he's a troll, not legitimately asking these questions. Lol

ding ding ding ding. He asks the same questions over and over. Most general questions like the one he asked have between answered many many times or simply have no answer, "like when will I see lte?"

It really is not entertaining. At all. And I think he's not a troll in the traditional sense. He's just too type-A about this whole LTE/NV thing that he doesn't actually read responses to his questions, or hopes that if he asks the same question multiple times, someone will tell him what he wants to hear instead of what is reality. Whatever the case, you will tire of it very, very quickly. Most of us just ignore him anymore.

Ok all you guys need to be nicer people i dont understand why u make fun of me im trying to learn about the network vision ok so stop saying im a troll and all that other crap about me if u dont mind thanks.

It would help if you didn't ask the same question - or nearly the same question - every time. Also, proper grammar and punctuation go a long way in getting people to respect you. Even on the internet.

 

For most of your questions, find the FAQ section in the General Posts part of the site. That should answer the majority of them.

Saw some activity here in Louisville today - not sure if it's for Sprint.  They've been working here all week at 908 Main st in Louisville.

 

Here are some pictures:

You should ask them, it seems like you're too close to them

[culasthewiz]

 I've tried but the guys doing the work don't speak any english (or they're pretending so they don't have to talk to me).

 

The company doing the work is Mastec if that helps anyone.

[narf]

Doing a little detective work, Sprint does use Mastec based on this page:

http://www.sprint.com/companyinfo/scm/supplierdiversity/success.shtml

Sprint developed a $120 million dollar, multi-year contract with Mastec for telecommunications infrastructure construction services. Mastec is the Hispanic owned business that ranked #1 in the 1999 Hispanic Business Top 500.

The first three look like it could be a Samsung NV antenna. Without being able to see the connections at the bottom, can't say for sure. The last image is for sure not Sprint.

The problem is I don't think you are trying to learn as much as you are hoping someone will give you answers, and to date I have not seen you contribute to the community.  If you have posted pictures, or speed tests or something, I certainly have not seen it.

I had brunch at The Bittersweet this morning so I walked down the block and took a few more pictures of the install at 908 Main in Louisville. To my untrained eye there seem to be a few panels with enough connections on them to be NV.

First one looks like Clear. Second not sure, maybe Verizon. Last one is the one we were looking for!

I have had a 4g signal in north colorado springs for a about 2 weeks now but speed tests have been poor to say the least i have been getting around .50 meg to 2 meg download speed with 4g signal what would make the speed so bad with a 4g signal on my htc one??

What's the signal strength?

It's the strength of the signal, but that's not important now.

 

Sorry, I had to.

I have used the LTE sites on the north side of the Springs and they are fast. From 8-20Mbps in my tests.

 

LTE performance is signal strength dependent. If you are getting slower speeds, you have a really weak signal. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2040-bars-lie-for-lte-signal-strength-how-to-determine-your-actual-lte-signal-strength/
