lilg740 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Site at IL-255 and Vaughn Rd in Wood River, IL has RRU up finally! It was this one with the stupid cable hanging down that was seriously messed up on one sector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickie546 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Just grabbed this from the Osage Beach area. In Walmart parking lot. Was pulling about 7 Mbps down. Then I believe it dropped because it wouldn't do a upload test. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Got this just down the road from you, going to visit site this afternoon.

imekul Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 People have talked about the Spark speeds here and the LG Nexus 5s picking up on them. Is that the same thing as the 800 MHz coverage, or is that a totally different animal? I understand the 800 MHz is supposed to dramatically improve coverage and signal penetration. Also, are all St. Louis-area towers set for Spark/800 MHz? If so, is there any timeline on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeds on 800 LTE have the same peak speed limit as 1900, but 800 will often have a better signal than 1900 and will be far less crowded for the near future so I expect much better average speed on it than 1900.

There are some lte2600 towers active st louis, but need a G2 to get them, so far. lte800 is not rolled out in stl, have not heard any time line yet, though I hope they will start lighting up soon, 800 should help coverage a lot.

DaQue Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Yup I haven't heard of LTE 800 anywhere yet. Soon I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilg740 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yellow site? On band 41? On nexus 5? Screenshots please. Yellow as in 3G/4G. I haven't been able to pick up B41 yet either. I thought Lilg740 would be posting N5 update by now. Maybe he is the type that reads the manual. < nothing to see here, move along > Sorry. Picked it up at like 4. Got back to the office at like 4:15. Finally got it activated and got my MSL by 5. Ran around and did some testing. No problems really. Enabled B41. Ran out to the closest B41 site, no B41. It is a colocated site. I am going to try the one in Granite that is not colocated with Sprint. My wife went out tonight so i was stuck at home with the children by myself so no computer til now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilg740 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So AT&T will light up lte in sikeston on 11/21. Sprint, let's beat them to the punch! Ask and you shall receive my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesmann Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Picked up briefly on 270 near Gravois but the 270/44 tower was stronger. Gravois & Sappington Barracks in Sunset Hills Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlman314 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So I've notice with my G2 that when I"m going down 270 and I connect to the Missouri Bottom near 270 site I can connect to it. As I keep going on towards 70 that site does not hand my lte connection off to the Bridgeton City Hall site. Drops every time. Neither site is yellow. Any clue why that is happening?

snes Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Still haven't picked up LTE on the tower that was accepted, but I was just driving through town and picked up LTE for a split second. Very weak signal and it was gone before I knew it. It was definitely not one of the three towers around me (I just drove by all three and network cycled each time and got nothing). I'm wondering if the Moorehouse site is live. I'll probably swing in that direction later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
