Would you have prefered a clown that looks like Charlie Ergen?

A site can be accepted but not live. The pattern in DE so far has been within about 24/48 hours after acceptance they go live. I suspect some of your problems earlier may have been you connecting to the Duncan site while it was testing. -
Sprint Rep: Backhaul stops during the winter.

I am not sure the global effects of that party will be significant, but the local effects might be. -
Some of them where almost predictable! If I was in the mood (and had time) I might stir up some trouble by posting the truth...
-
I now feel dumberer after reading all the comments about the article....
-
They seem to be on pace to have most sites 3G completed by the end of the year...
-
I haven't been north of the canal in a couple of weeks so I can't comment.
-
Welcome! In the last 2 to 3 weeks we have seen 6 sites go live in Delaware. The good news for you is that they are all close by.
-
That is number 6 in Delaware for sure. Nice job finding it before the acceptance report that confirmed it. Someone needs to map it on sensorly though Now, who will find number 7 and where will it be???
-
How is it working in general? Can you stream audio without interruption? Maybe the speed test itself is the problem? Beyond that I have no other thoughts unless it is specific to your account or phone....
-
I am not in the area so I can't say if its your phone or the towers. Hopefully it is resolved quick.
-
I have never had a knack for explaining things but glad it helped. Another way you can see it is by looking at sensorly. If you know where a live tower is you will often see that the signal stretches to (or past) another tower that isn't live.
-
Since the phones can be connected to two towers, one for 1x and one for 3G or 4G, it could create an imbalance. The phones will hang on to that 4G connection for as long as possible. So as they move away from the Kirkwood tower they hand off the 1x connection to another tower but keep the 4G connection until the extreme edge of the signal. The result is you have more phones connected than what is typically expected. Once you have a couple of surrounding towers go live with 4G that should not be an issue. Of course it is entirely possibly they are back making adjustments and that is causing a problem too.
-
If you aren't getting better speeds outside, I think it goes back to the airlink being overloaded.
-
It looks like you are getting your 1x & 3G signal from a different tower. It is possible that the difference between 100 & 115 may be enough to go from a decent 6mbps to sub 3G speeds.
-
That could be it. From everything I have read LTE is very dependent on signal strength. 100-115 probably would fall in the poor to unusable range. What is your signal strengths for 1x and 3G?
-
What is the signal strength?
-
My guess is the one on Kirkwood is overloading. Since 3G is still getting acceptable speeds it probably isn't the backhaul but the airlink.
-
Your updates where fine.
-
It might, I believe this is what they have done with the sites that have 800mhz in Ohio. I am sure someone will correct me.
-
Yeah they can be connected to one tower for 1x and another for either CDMA or LTE.
-
It looks like you are connected to two different towers.
-
It sure looks like 2 on sensorly.
-
The first appears to have NV equipment up and all its legacy equipment removed. I would say the only thing that needs to be completed is the backhaul before this site is 4G accepted. The second looks like Sprint is on the second rack and again has NV equipment and no legacy equipment. Notice what appears to be a microwave dish is also present. Therefore the fiber connection maybe at another tower (that will have a similar dish pointing at this one).
