From the same exact spot in the QT parking lot 10 minutes later. 

 

It took me that long to get any kind of signal.

 

I don't understand how one minute it works great, the next minute you get nothing and then the next minute you get less than half the speed you got before.

Thanks to the selflessness of one of our members I now have a new shiny HTC ONE to play with! I am speechless! Its only a loaner but this is amazing!

Last night I had the Mifi at Urban Chestnut for an event and was pulling crazy good Band 41 LTE. I was feeling cocky, so I challenged friends with a Verizon phone & AT&T phone to a speedtest.

Speeds vary...even during speed tests there are peaks

I understand that, but not such a huge discrepancy. I went 8 minutes with no signal at all, not even 3G. I think they have some wires crossed or something. It is like this every day.

I noticed that Charter fiber was "installed" at the Bethalto tower and East Alton tower @ Airline and 9th. Don't know about connections.

 

So when we say that we're waiting on back haul we literally could be waiting on some one to push a button?

The Troy IL site is finally broadcasting LTE!!

 

Drove around a bit mapping on Sensorly, and got the SCIDs:  60 - 229 - 398

 

Got this in front of my house, slightly slower inside.  :)

I'll have to debug that tower because I think it's broadcasting up past Ladue rd on Lindbergh. Could be a 25/600Mhz site.

Well crud....I went out after work to try and get the HEX for St. Jacob. I was wondering why I had 4G at 55/70 and US-40...makes sense now. SCID 056257## is for Troy....I guess I didn't get St. Jacob....fooey.

Yes, that was my first reaction to a new 4G site:  Fooey!  ;)

 

Do you get it in your house? I mapped it all the way to almost Collinsville/Maryville

 

Sitting here with a -98 dB signal in the living room.  Down to -115 in the basement (a walkout that faces away from the site).  I'm about 2 miles from the tower as the crow flies.

Just like on the north side of town... no usable LTE. I visited both sides of town, drove right by both all three towers/water towers and did not get a single hit of LTE. Cycling data and everything. I think someone is messing with us.

Have you checked these recently? Dark purple around both sites in the north.

I saw you updated the SCIDs on the sheet. Did they match up right?

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
