LTE went live just moments ago here in Clarendon, Texas

I have a few questions maybe someone out there knows the answers to

1. I live in a very rural area so 40mhz on 2.4ghz is very suitable for me. If I set my router to use only 40mhz on 2.4ghz what happens when a wireless N adapter that only supports 150mbps connects to the router? Does it just limit the speed of that adapter or does it reduce the whole network down to the slower speed as well as reduce it down to 20mhz?

2. This is an easier question: In my advanced settings to my adapter I have an option for "20/40 coexistence mode" and the settings are either Auto, Enabled, or Disabled what exactly does that do. I have googled and have only found answers to what these settings do on routers and not adapters.

Plainview, TX has two 4G accepted sites the other is complete as well on the 3G side but is waiting on backhaul for 4G. I don't know how long ago there were done though.

LTE showing up in Plainview today!

LTE is spreading fast in Amarillo!

Goes west on interstate 40 almost to Wildorado and now goes south on interstate 27 into Canyon. I'll be headed to Canyon this weekend and will try to map more extensively on Sensorly within that town while I'm there

Update: I was able to pick up Sprint LTE all over Canyon. I mapped the major highways and streets on Sensorly check it out! It actually went pretty far on my way to Palo Duro Canyon.

There were many sites in Lubbock today giving LTE icon but no connection with pings of 3000+ if any. Anybody know if there is any correlation to this and actual LTE service? Must mean the new base stations and RRU's have been installed right? But maybe no backhaul? Time will tell...

I was just about to post something similar to this up here in Amarillo. On the west end of town near the hospital district I was mapping with sensorly and I noticed even though I was connected to LTE, I had no data connection. Speed tests would not initiate, pages would not open etc etc.

Near interstate 40 and Ross-Osage, it is a different story. LTE signal is strong and with a fast data connection. So yeah, I think some sites are broadcasting the LTE signal but without data capability. I don't know enough about it except to only make that assumption.

I'm here in San Angelo and its 2:57 a.m. and 4G is on and its working strong. Fastest DL speed I saw shot up to 28 Megs... I'm sure they still have a long way to go, but this is a good sign for all of west Texas

 

Thanks for the update! Wow!

Update from here in Clarendon, Texas:

They are installing fiber lines all up and down highway 287 and at the tower site here in town they laid fiber line several months ago. It's looking good guys

They are working on towers on highway 287 between Vernon and Amarillo and along interstate 40 including where I live here in Clarendon
