  1. Hi guys. I've just joined, though I've been following this site for quite a while.

     

    Anyway, I've read, possibly on this thread,that using Netmonitor it's possible to tell if you've connected to an upgraded cell site based on the Network ID. NID 1 for old backhaul, NID 200 for the new backhaul. Anyway, there's a portion of Ave. Jesús T. Piñeiro in Hato Rey that I drive through every day that has an LTE signal but NID 1 instead of 200. I've never seen eHRPD reported on my cellphone on that area. Is that a sort of testing phase?

    Same thing happens near the airport. The thing is that you can be connected to one site for 1x and another site for LTE.

    That is happening near Puente Teodoro Moscoso.

  2. Based on the Sensorly readings, I would guess that the closest tower, and perhaps even the other tower is not yet broadcasting LTE. This is not overly unusually, as we have seen many towers sit quiet even after being officially signed off. However, if it is still like this in a week or two, I would start wondering if something is going on.

    yes that's what I thought. That neither of those tower are broadcasting LTE because I cannot get LTE in many surrounding areas..

     

    Thanks for the info. Dkoellerwx

  3. Both are upgraded to 4G? Some of the other threads, especially in the Sponsor New Orleans and Dallas/Austin thread discuss using cell ids to determine which tower you are connected to. You would need to get into the ##DEBUG# screen to do that.

     

    Yes both are 3G/4G ready.

    Here is a little detailed map.. (Made with paint BTW)

     

    Red dots are 3G/4G ready near home.

    Blue dots are 3G ready.

    Circle is the area where I live.

  4. If you get better than a -95 RSSI signal on 1x, then once your closest tower is upgraded, you should get a great LTE signal. If you are getting a -79 RSSI 1x signal, but only a -110 RSRP LTE signal, than I would be fairly certain that your closest tower is not yet upgraded. However, I have had good experience with LTE at a -110 RSRP signal. It's not super fast, but generally faster than 3G.

    Both towers near home are already upgraded as per s4gru maps. I got eHRPD from both.

    But I don't know from which site I'm getting the LTE signal.

    The closest tower is half a mile or less.

     

    I do get 2-5Mbps with -110 RSRP.

  5. One question for those of you who have lte at your home.

    I usually get a -79 1x signal and a -73 evdo signal (RSSI) at my apt. Does that means that I will have a fair LTE signal?

    Sometimes it switch to 4G but I usually get -110 - -114 RSRP. I don't think that the closest tower to me is providing LTE.

     

    If you get 4G at your home can you post your level signals?

     

    Thanks

  6. It connected to 4G 4 different times during my trip back to work. That's good news for people in the metro area.

    While i was at my apt it was switching between three different serving cells.

     

    I think the site that I was connected to was the one near plaza guaynabo because my signal wasn't the best. I got another site less than half a mile.

    It also mapped some in Expreso Las Americas near Ave Pinero (Centro Medico Area)

  7. The Rio Hondo site will be up soon. Been doing random speedtests and it has given me speeds over 600kbps over the usual 200-300kbps. Note that this site will be a train wreck since its going to be shared with a shopping mall and over 10 neighborhoods around the area. No 4g yet.
