There are pockets of LTE just south of Ardmore in Havertown. It looks like there is a big hole surrounding the Bryn Mawr / Heverford / Ardmore area. Does anyone know if Lower Merion Township has hindered any Network Vision work? I hope Sprint can get major upgrades going there really soon; the US Open is at Merion in 6 weeks. There will tens of thousands of visitors there every day so The network is going to be put under a lot of strain...

I hope they will! At work, we're sponsoring a tent at the U.S. Open so I'm sure I'll be there quite a bit. Not that I know golf. But, I do like LTE! But like I said, at least Ardmore on Lancaster Aveue has LTE through Ardmore Avenue. I didn't veer off Lancaster Avenue to know how far north or south it goes.

I'm happy to report that as of last night, Ardmore went live. I'm in Wynnewood, and am getting some pretty decent speeds (~8-12mbps) and I took LTE readings up Lancaster Avenue. Ardmore was in the 3-4mbps range, and then it faded into 3G by Ardmore Avenue. No more LTE from there on up, though I didn't get any further west than Wayne.

It's possible that the site was offline. It's kind of common in unlaunched markets to take a site offline to work on it.

All of manhattan? I don't have a good sense of how much area is covered by one tower, though.

For sure. I toggled that on and off, as well as cellular data entirely on and off. I also power cycled the phone, and did airplane mode a few times. In short, I did everything I could think of.

Today, I also reset network settings and did the ##UPDATE# thing, and while I'm not in manhattan, I am next to a tower in the Phila area that supposedly has LTE enabled already, though it does not show up in Sensorly. However, that could just be that it's not been tracked.

So, I was in manhattan on Wednesday, in an area that clearly showed up as LTE on Sensorly, and no matter what I did, I could not get my iPhone to switch to LTE! I tried at various times during the day, all over midtown, but nothing.

I powered the phone on and off, toggled airplane mode, toggled cellular data, toggled LTE...

Am I missing something? Now I'm wondering if the tower outside my office (which shows up on the s4gru maps as having had LTE enabled) is actually enabled and it's me. Should I be trying something else?

Any suggestions from the gallery? Thanks!
