I found a nice LTE pocket way out in Rancho, past the golf course.

If it's one of the two out off of Hwy 16/Jackson Hwy then it's a tower that has been active for quite a while. They have great speeds out in Mather. The speeds have been bumped up in the past several months I noticed.

4G in Madera at Chevron.

Yes, revel in the horror that is 3G in the LCV.

At least I get 4G when I visit my mother in law and parents. I don't get it here at home. 

 

Soon. As in sometime before I turn 40.

She doesn't need to when she lives in the Sacramento area.

I'll be heading down to the valley for the weekend and will be in Fresno quite a bit tomorrow. I'll try to grab some Sensorly readings while I am down there.

Appreciate the info... I'm currently rocking the HTC EVO 4G LTE. So yea ... not sure if it falls under the "tri band" device... somehow I doubt it Thanks again.

Nope, they just started releasing tri-bands in the last 5-6 months, I believe starting with the Nexus 5. Evo 4G LTE isn't tri-band, unfortunately.

I'll be at Fresno State in a few weeks for a conference.

Can't wait to get that next time I'm in the area.

I don't know where Sac town stands but Clovis is probably next. Fresno... Fresno is mystifying.

 

 

Sacto still has to finish upgrades with a new contractor. Maybe late March, early April.

I got a hit of LTE on the east side of Placerville on 50 for a minute or so. Didn't stick, though.

Oh. Sorry to hear she had to have surgery.

It's all good. She has another one on Monday and a third later on that isn't as critical. She had to have reconstruction and stabilization done. She is doing good and is in good spirits. I'm home now, but I'm glad I could go down for a few hours.

No, my grandmother had surgery on her neck and I came down to see her.

Came down to Tulare for a day visit. I picked up LTE around Atwater and off and on south. Here is what I am getting in Tulare near the outlet mall. I will be in Visalia for a bit and will try to get more speedchecks then. I will run Sensorly on my way back up North this evening.

I am in West Sac today and no 4g near city hall. Meanwhile, Pooja is still fabulous if you like great Indian food.

SprintFreeMsg: Over the next month, the new network will be largely completed in your area. See new phone offer at http://sprint.us/upgrade1 Reply S to stop.

I got the same text back in October and I live in Rancho. It is a generic text to everyone.

That is the sprint site, but they're not working on sprint's rack.

Well, between the sadly dark cities of Bakersfield and Fresno, it looks like there may be more progress in Visalia. Spotted a lift in Cigna's parking lot today on Akers & Tulare, working on the North tower this time which should be the Sprint site, although I'm not sure which radios are Sprint's.

It looks like the top is AT&T, the second might be Sprint.

For several seconds this morning, 4G LTE flashed on my phone two separate times after I totally lost my 3G connection and the bars. This was off Kilgore Rd. near the Sprint building in Rancho Cordova, This also briefly happened about a month ago. Sprint has a tower in their parking lot. I did ask someone about it, they said they thought it was from a tower on White Rock Road....but no way to confirm this

That tower has been upgraded, as has the one on White Rock Rd. I am in that general area on a frequent basis and I have had 4G turn on for me on occasion. It has been maybe a month or so since the last time, but I notice it either super late at night or early on a Saturday morning. The signal could be generated from the live tower south of Mather, too, which has been broadcasting for many months now. Maybe they're going through testing still, but the physical upgrades are complete there, so far as I know.

Where's the Davis folks' cheers?  

Nothin. Not a G'Damn thing. 2014 and no LTE. Happy Tuesday folks 

*shrug* It's the norm around Rancho. Waiting for the rest of the area to be ready for a cluster launch.

This just in, from a connection I have on the project...

 

"I don’t have a specific timeline to provide, but I will tell you that you should be really close.  Really close to seeing that 4G/LTE light appear on your phone."

I occasionally (maybe a few on again/off again hits within about half an hour every other week) get LTE to come up on my phone at my house in Rancho and definitely driving around the airport in Mather. Surprisingly, I actually got a second or two of LTE when I was at the Carl's Jr. on Folsom and Mather Field Road last night. Here's hoping it is soon.  

 

 

Will they be doing a cluster launch for lte?

In the Sacramento and Redding/Red Bluff area, yes (so far as I know). Maybe a cluster launch for the Stockton area, too. The smaller towns along Hwy 99 and I-5, I'm not sure they will be cluster launched. 

 

Edit: I get LTE in Roseville when I have occasion to go up there. I had to go to the UCD Med Clinic over the late summer a few times and I had it consistently in that part of town.

Oh and happy holidays to anyone who is still around.

You, too. :-)

Rancho has pretty much all of their antennas updated, save maybe one tower (from what I have seen). They will likely be cluster launched with Folsom, Citrus Heights, Carmichael, and likely Sacramento, too. We're just waiting for the rest of the physical upgrades to be completed. I have gotten hits of LTE at my house in Rancho. There is a tower south of Mather that is active and has been for quite some time.

Something was definitely going on in the Rancho Area Yesterday. There was virtually no data connection all day yesterday. Have to see how today goes....

It's been like that for me at home for a few weeks now. I'm hopeful it is something, maybe signal testing or whatever. I have no clue. I just know that I can't hold a call for more than a minute or two without it dropping. 

Check out these BREAK NECK SPEEDS!!!! :-[
