You should probably use a PM.

[coloradorockymountain32]

how do I do that?

[Dkoellerwx]

Does not compute.

 

 

You broke the internets...

Does this mean the 4g towers in the metro area may or may not have backhaul completed?

The sites that currently are broadcasting LTE have appropriate backhaul. That's a requirement to turn on LTE.

 4g requires the fiber backhaul.

but.

Not all fiber backhauled sites are running 4g (yet)

What is it then that the sensorly speed tests show 10ish mbps?

That just means that there is more than just you using the site. Or you have a weak-ish connection.

 

The max speed possible on Sprint's PCS LTE network is 37.5Mbps, and to get that you must have OPTIMAL conditions. That means line of site to the antenna, no other users on your sector, and no interference whatsoever. 

 

You add 20 users to your sector, sharing that 37.5Mbps of bandwidth, speeds are going to fall. But it's still better than 3G by leaps and bounds.

Good lord.

I just watched the legacy network nearly die a premature death when the Broncos won. Maxed out. 2 sites near the stadium redlined and had tech's stationed there to restart them and keep them cooled off.

 

Go Broncos.

[coloradorockymountain32]

so if I have a 800 lte tower less then a mile away from when it goes live then will my LTE Speeds go up in speed and is it like getting 800 voice mean better lte bars in my apt?

Doesn't Sprint believe in COWs?

LTE 800 isn't about speed, it's about coverage and signal penetration. Band 25 and 26 run at the same speed. The only time 800 will be faster is if the 1900 is more congested and the 800 has a better signal. But you can't force yourself onto Band 26 anyway. If the network decides you better belong on Band 25, that's where you'll be.

Yes, but not in this case. A COW is usually used for coverage in the event of a site down long term or an event in a strange location. There are 8 sites within range of the stadium, some have been upgraded to NV, some not. 

 

Those poor legacy sites near the stadium didn't stand a chance.

Ummmmmmm yeah I may have been one of those guys trying to start a funeral pyre with those towers, sorry.

Guys and gals, I used LTE Discovery Saturday at Parker road and 225, and got Lte for 5 seconds before my Samsung Mega reverted back to 3G. I did it multiple times. So all of you that have single band 4GLte phones should get coverage there. I got 4gLte coverage briefly on Hamden between Broadway and Sante Fe this morning. That suprised me because I have a tri band phone, and I hadn't seen any Denver sites that had been upgraded for Lte and the Tri band phones. With the information I am seeing on posts from yesterday, we are moving in the right direction! Cheers. Santa...

[AcctDeleted_Merlin]

Something big is about to happen in Longmont.
Possibly tonight. 
May have hit a snag, but sometime this week for sure.

[Carrilloevo]

I hope something happen in Arvada too lol

[Santa Claus]

Merlin, I have a Samsung Galaxy Mega, and am using the app Lte discovery. It turns off the radio feature of the phone, and picks up Lte coverage in the area for about 1 to 20 seconds, with readings, then reverts back to 3g. i understand why it is reverting, as I have a Tri band phone, and am waiting for the site updates. My questioh is this: I picked up Lte coverage from Havana and Hamden in Aurora, almost the entire trip to Hamden and Wadsworth this morning.(By running multiple test all the way down) My phone even switched to 4GTE by  itself at Hamden and Sante fe for about a block without me doing any searching.  The same thing happened yesterday. I also picked up 4GLTE from Hamden and I 25 South to 225, then East to Parker Road yesterday by running multiple tests. To your knowlede is GLte in testing stages in those areas, are am I picking up other company's signals. Thanks for all of your insights. We all appreciate you.

[Santa Claus]

That is something the Samsung techs are working on. I don't know for sure.
