Poor radios? Poor chipset? Maybe something to do with the dual chipset that also causes the high battery drain? What happens is the signal reporting gets stuck. So you may have a -80 excellent LTE signal at one point and then you really have a -115 signal but yet it reports -80 to sensorly still.. making this huge swath of deep purple in an almost no signal area.

 

From what I can see I haven't polluted anything. I mapped the areas at the Goodfellow site and it looks correct to me. I just assumed sensorly gathered data from the LTE engineering area. How else are they going to get accurate signal strength data?

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.

On a side note, is anyone else in the metro area having voice issues? I know of at least 8 people that are having issues making calls. 3g 4 bars....phone says dialing, then starts counting, then hangs up....sometimes it will ring 1-5 times then busy signal. This happened to me in December and January...and has now started again. This has been happening between Alton and Collinsville.

Give it time, it will do it. I think you already saw one aspect of the radio crash with the 151515 thing. The New Orleans sensorly map had so many areas that members had to "map down" because it looked like a site went active when actually there was no site there at all, just a Gnex. Now I am sure it is going to take many passes to get the area back up when the nearby site goes active. There are many "scars" on the 4g map there still to this day. Luckily we got most of those folks to stop mapping and it has stopped. And these were bone stock phones.

 

All I can say is be careful as it can easily drive members crazy. But so can a Note2 with its ability to snag a site 8 or 9 miles away with ease.

My wife and I had a helluva time getting data sent back and forth today... text messages would get delayed an awful long time. I'm by Westport, and my wife is Downtown.

According to Sprint, there is no current network outage in my area. They gave me a $70 credit but they can't fix the issue...

Hmm. Maybe I should call and see about a statement credit, then...

My family and I have been with Sprint for close to 11 years. Whenever I have a problem i always go online and they give me a credit. I got $80 off last month for other issues and not having LTE yet.

So, since St Louis is officially started, should we still expect significant amounts of time between towers going up? I understand zoning and permit regulations must be a nightmare here. I guess I'm just wondering if were going to get bursts here and there or are we going to see one tower go up a week or something like that.

I don't know but I am a little concerned there are almost no reports of in progress sites.

Maybe Charter gave Sprint's contractors an 8a-noon window that they'll show up with the backhaul and completely missed their appointment? ;-)

I have some good news. My brother got LTE on his SGS3 at Lewis and Clark Blvd and Chambers road. He said that he ran a speedtest, but he lost LTE before it finished. It was either a weak signal or they had just finished testing. On sensorly, I also saw some points for LTE on Hwy H and some in Clayton. I will see if I can get LTE where my brother got it tomorrow since I will be close. I'll post back and let you know if I picked up LTE in that same location.

that looks like right on the edge of potential dellwood range, but hopefully its a sign of something new.

the highway h looks like a pull from the 270/lindbergh area, and the clayton blip was discussed earlier this week. I personally spent over half an hour driving in circles around the area but got nothing, but again lets hope for something about progress in the area.

Likely come in bursts, since they don't usually times things out to have a steady stream of completed towers. Many markets see several very slow weeks followed by a very busy couple of days. Then more slow time.

I am happy to say that I have finished the spreadsheet for the MO Market. I will be sending out a link on the Sponsor side. I am looking for reliable people to have editing access. Let me know.

Needing a couple people from Joplin, Springfield, STL, Columbia, Metro East to help with editing if possible.

 

If anyone has any suggestions as to the layout or information we are collecting please let me know!

I can hit a lot of sites in/around the mid-county area. The site along 40 in Richmond Heights is like 5 blocks from my house. Easy drive/easy access (it's on a soccer field). I can also collect photos/data on sites in progress for the spreadsheet around the Westport area. In fact, I can see a tower from my office window. :)

Do you want editing access?

      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.
