This Union tower carries a huge load. At times it is completely unusable. Hopefully it is in line to receive a HUGE upgrade with NV & LTE.

I tested last night after midnight and had a ping of 78ms! Just before posting this i had a ping of 858ms.

The union site is not the wimax site. (Actual confirmed wimax site is about a mile southwest. I live no more than a half a mile from the wimax site and the signal does not reach me. I had an 82 MS ping at the b.a movie theatre on Lynn lane this evening. Todays speed and ping times have been complete opposite of yesterday. I had a 1300ms ping! (On the union tower)

Here are my home site tests from yesterday around lunch. I had about -91dbm and its an eHrpd connection.

Yeah my default site looks weird. Its on the union high School parking lot. My secondary site is at 81 mingo and looks like a legacy tower for sure. Ill keep my eyes peeled for crews. So they are adding in between existing cells and reconfiguring the 3g frequency on each tower as part of nv? Im too excited for this, excellent pictures by the way.

My ping times have ranged from 80-130 with an occasional 225 or something. downloads average 1100kbps upload 700.

This is a serious step in the right direction for the Oklahoma market.

Finally!

 

Did you go to the TU game?

No I had a connecting flight to Vegas.

I just drove by a site with a full build in progress!!!!!!!

 

Edit: I will take pics but the reason I noticed was because I drive by the site 3 days a week to get to work and new panels were added in-between the existing ones. I only see one RUU behind them right now but I'm confident this is a Sprint site.

 

The site is located just past the i75/169 junction heading south toward Glenpool.

This is all so exciting! i hadn't seen ping times/3g speeds like this since i was in Memphis last month. And lte speeds were awesome as well.

i would like to add, i live just off 71 & Mingo. The past 2 days i have noticed a huge change. My ping times were previously 200+ MS. Since wednesday my ping times have dropped to 90-110MS (average 97MS out of 8 tests) average download speed of around 900 kbps and 600 up. Hope we continue to see this spread!

That looks pretty close LOL. I'm guessing the cases are in closed around that privacy fence

Yes, its all hidden!

I found a Tower in Bixby Ok today that appears to be upgraded. If i can confirm that this is a Sprint site that will make it the first tower that i have seen with an upgrade from Sprint in the area.

I took a picture of the tower (base station is surrounded by large privacy fence). It is located no more than 2 football fields from a Sprint store.

The location of the Tower is near E 106th St in Bixby. Just off Memorial.

Standing near the tower i was able to get speeds of 1.7Mb down and 0.8 up ( that is insane for Sprint around tulsa)

Hopefully you guys can help me confirm that this is a Sprint tower!

Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure that sprint won't do 10x10 at all, just multiple 5x5 for capacity purposes. Once phones (or tablets) start supporting carrier aggregation, 2 5x5 should perform as well as a 10x10 so going for multiple 5x5 channels seems like a better plan for me if I was sprint. Correct me if I'm wrong though

i did quote you but i like the idea of 5x5 and just running more as needed. Sounds like an efficient solution. I would love to see an LTE connection in Tulsa from Sprint soon, Verizon has had LTE here since mid 2011 and AT&T got it turned on in November.

All Sprint LTE is 5x5 initially with a max speed of 37.5Mbps.

So does LTE advanced come back and do 10x10 everywhere? or are they only running 10x10 in giant markets?

I have a question about the Oklahoma market. I have read that we are a market expecting to begin soon, and ive heard we may have live LTE in a few cow towns. Tulsa LTE is going to be a 5x5 and what about OKC? is it 10x10? I hope sprint anticipates the users in oklahoma better than they did with their 3g buildout. Our 3g is still very weak and spotty in much of tulsa. and especially dense suburbs like broken arrow. Ever since their roaming agreement in the rural parts fell through, and failed wimax Sprint's reputation in OK has gone to
