Will they ever lite up the tower in Vinita Park? That was the one that was suppose to reach far and wide for the 170/Page/Rock Road area I believe.

Did you ever check to see if work had even begun?

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.

I was happy yesterday when a LTE site went down near work.  I got my 3-4 megabits back...they fixed it overnight and my LTE is back to almost no speeds.  I'd take a reliable 1x site ;)

I'd love to pull 3-4Mbps on 3G. :)

More dark purple in Chesterfield at that Golf Club.

Ok now I'm curious enough to go check it out tomorrow (if I can figure out how to get back there).

 

In case it's somehow NOT Weldon Spring, are there any towers out there I should take a look at?

Here's hoping to you guys that you don't catch the Ericsson sickness that the NOLA, LA, and East TX markets have.  We've got about a dozen and half donut sites now it seems.  Our 4G active number is moving backwards in our stats.

 

Have you been seeing anything with the new sites like this?

I haven't been able to test out most of the active 4G sites as they are out of my way. Not a whole lot on my trip. Only time I see LTE is in Alton or Edwardsville from the Riverview site 10 miles away. That is unless I drive through MO to get Cigs and Gas then I get the same site but actually get real LTE from it and not just a glimpse. When more are active we might have this problem reported.

The site right there is at Wild Horse Creek Rd on the property of St Thomas United Church of Christ.

Strange.

 

I have two phones, one of WiMax and one for LTE. I work around the Rock Road and 170 area, traveling between sites on a route. 

 

I use my phone for everything, net, GPS, tracking packages, etc.

 

Anyway, this afternoon I was using my WiMax and everything was going as normal - Pretty fast and very reliable. Around 6PM everything slowed to a crawl. I rebooted the phone, removed the battery, etc, several times and nothing helped.

 

I then turn on my Galaxy 4 with LTE and I have LTE lighting up.

 

Not sure what any of this means. Maybe they are testing a tower or something.

NV work shouldn't affect WiMax, I doubt the two were related. Unless they just happened to be working on a WiMax tower at the same time.

So you are on LTE at 170 and Rock road? Can you dial ##debug#(type SPRINT if prompted for code) and go to LTE Engineering and snap a shot? or just tell me what is in the serving cell field and you signal strenght?

You are probably right, I just found it odd how it happened.

 

Right now LTE is working and 4G is not.

I am close to there. I travel this area in a 4 mile radius. I pulled in to get gas on the West side of 170 and that is where I noticed it. 

 

I will try, but I am not sure what LTE engineering is.

do you have that advanced signal check app? it has a short cut now for Samsung phones so you don't have to ##Debug# Sprint anymore.

Even the folks in Tyler Tx are seeing this with only a couple sites there. It seems isolated to Ericsson equipment so far across the region.

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.

      I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
