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.

Think I set a new speed record, for my devices anyway. This was at Yale and Monaco.

Well this site just got upgraded. This was a gmo with legacy panels. Sorry for posting here but my password for premier isn't working. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

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.

Nice speeds, but slow pings. What's up with that?

Do you happen to know where that tower is?

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

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 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

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.

I think he's still ranting about the deployment rate. Let's just ignore the trolls.

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.

Some more speed tests for everyone. Speeds are solid not other worldly.

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.

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.

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.

I think I can support that WAG. Sounds reasonable to me.

When you say "Denver area" would that indicate Denver proper, or the Metropolitan area?

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.

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.  :D

with those pings it sounds like you might be on a site that has new fiber backhaul, just my guess though...not 100% confident.

Lets hope we get to see some lte towers going up soon. The whole dish-network bid is slowing down our upgrade.

 

where did you hear that the dish network bid is slowing down nv roll out? I don't think anyone has ever said that.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
