TylerR Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I get .1 Mbps some times even .01 Mbps on LTE when near there. Been that way for a couple weeks or more. I am still on my Note 2 and its by far the slowest I have seen when on LTE. When its the worst Tapatalk has problems connecting while I sit there munching on goodies from one of the fast food joints. Are you down in the Dierberg's plaza when having issues? I've noticed that when connected to LTE down in that sort of valley (relative to the tower) my signal strength drops to -100 or below and my SNR values are low, between 0.1-2.0. Haven't ran a speedtest in that scenario though. But when I come up onto Veterans Memorial or Zumbehl, my signal strength and SNR both increase along with speeds, even on the same sector. I've always wondered what the deal is with that, some sort of interference maybe or just the elevation change. But if you're having issues with the site on all sectors, I don't know what could be the cause of that because that has not been my experience (on LTE at least).

Dkoellerwx Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 W Clay & Campus St. Charles, MO If you are on the east or south side of that site, I could easily see it being overloaded. When the sites south of it come online, things should improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomstang Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just came across this video on ebaumsworld....can anybody identify the equipment? It would be funny if it were Sprint, the next time somebody complains about NV progressing slowly we can tell them that THIS is the problem. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/83818223/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaQue Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looks like an Ericsson RRU for sprint to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerR Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Forgot to post, but it looks like work has started on the site at I-64 and MO River. Saw a crew there yesterday with ropes hanging down, and today the ropes are gone. I think the new panels are mounted but I cannot tell for sure, there are a lot of Ericsson-looking panels on the tower and I can't really get a good look driving by on the highway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for 4 boxes shaped like computer towers behind each panel. Like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlman314 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 So I got the Spark update yesterday and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with added coverage I now receive from Band 41. I have picked up 13 new B41 towers that I never had been able to connect to. Pulling decent speeds even when at like -115. Pulled 12mb down at that signal.

I have picked up 13 new B41 towers that I never had been able to connect to. Pulling decent speeds even when at like -115. Pulled 12mb down at that signal. That's my favorite part of Band 41. Speeds are good even with poor signals. I once got 10Mbps from a -130dBm signal. And I once pulled 3Mbps at -140dBm RSRP. Gotta like that.

etirkca Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Where exactly were you when this was taken? It may be worth opening a trouble ticket if it's in an area that should have good coverage. I will also need to see your engineering screen, or a signal check pro screen shot. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
