Where in York? All the B41 I've seen is around the York Fairgrounds. Want to know if that's the only live tower so far or if there is anything else out there. -
That makes sense, I just thought it was strange that for literally a split second before dropping to B25 it would show me the 2nd B41 carrier. It's almost like they're teasing you lol. In any case, I'm definitely excited for the major upgrade that's on the way.

Can someone recommend a good series to watch on Netflix?
leozno1 replied to leozno1's topic in General Topics
Looks like I'm gonna be spending a rather unhealthy amount of time on Netflix over Christmas week and the next few months for that matter. Most of the shows suggested here have been added to my watch list. Thanks for all the suggestions guys! -
So I noticed this twice today both on the way to and from work. When reaching the cell edge of the B41 signal, Signal Check Pro displays that there is a 2nd B41 carrier, but it only displays for 1 second before dropping down to B25. I managed to keep an eye on it and take a screenshot really quickly before it went away. Is this normal or could this be a glitch from it being a recently activated and probably not optimized tower?

Connected to B41 in York, PA again today in the same area as yesterday. Here are some more screenshots. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

Any series that's available on Netflix please. Thanks for the great suggestions guys, quite a few shows that I have heard good things about, as well as shows I've never heard of before. I'll add them to the list. I'm glad House of Cards is getting a lot of mentions, several places say that the 2nd and 3rd seasons kinda slow down a bit so I was getting a bit discouraged to watch them but now I'm definitely looking forward to it. Also surprised yet somehow glad nobody mentioned the "ultra popular shows that everyone talks about like Game of Thrones, Walking Dead or Breaking Bad. -
Just recently decided to get a Netflix account and watch a few series' to see what all the fuss is about with all these popular shows everyone is talking about and watch some good stuff. I just binge watched the first season of Narcos this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it is. Next one I was planning on watching was either The Blacklist, Dexter or House of Cards. What other recommended shows are out there or if anyone has seen the shows I listed that would suggest I not waste my time, please let me know. Also Mods, if this Topic already exists I apologize in advance for making another. I didn't see an existing one.

Great news guys. I was just connected to B41 LTE in York PA. I was driving and just grabbed my phone to play some music and saw it. When I noticed I was on the intersection of Kings Mill Rd and Grantley road. Only had enough time to take this screenshot before I got disconnected to take other screenshots and or speed tests.

I mean in most cases outside of fast past online multiplayer gaming, the difference between say 35ms to 25ms would be imperceptible. If you play Halo or CoD online you would probably feel the difference, otherwise it would feel like it's a useless gimmick. I've never had a router that has Adaptive QoS so I can't speak from experience, I'm just saying what makes sense to me in theory. Hey, maybe you're right and it does jack squat. But just keep in mind that if you're just streaming videos or browsing the web, you won't notice any difference.
-
The purpose of QoS is to prioritize gaming to minimize latency as much as possible, it has nothing to do with bandwidth.

Just connected to the 2nd B41 LTE carrier in Lancaster on the corner of N George Street and Manor Ave, not far from Millersville University.

Holy Thread Revival Batman!!!!! After laying dormant for nearly 2 years, we are back in business! I just picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider but I still need to finish Definitive Edition first before I jump into it. Game is so good so far, I can't believe I didn't play it sooner.
-
Lol I see what you did there! I can't speak on the Gaming Accelerator from experience cuz my router doesn't have that feature but I agree that the GPN by WTFast sounds extremely gimmicky and I have no idea if it even works. I think there are too many networking variables outside of your own router that can affect latency, but I guess it can't make it run any worse (knock on wood) Good thing is that it sounds like an optional software install and you aren't necessarily required to use that feature. The Adaptive QoS on the other hand sounds pretty awesome, where it prioritizes game data through the router first, over a VoIP phone call through Vonage, someone FaceTiming on their iDevice or a family member streaming a show on Netflix, etc. over the same network.

I have yet to see a release date of when this one actually goes on sale. But I think if there is a product page up on Newegg, it's got to be going on sale very soon. If you don't want to wait and also want to save $100 you could always go for the RT-AC88U - AC3100 right next to it. It just recently went on sale and also offers 4x4 MU-MIMO and Beam Forming so you will have similar range. The difference is you don't get that insane 5 Gbps WiFi transfer speed. Ya'know, in case 3 Gbps isn't enough lol.

I vote the ASUS RT-AC5300 just because it's the most beastly router I have ever seen in my life. http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/2/9238057/asus-rt-ac5300u-triband-wireless-router-ifa-2015 In all seriousness tho, I currently own an ASUS RT-N65U and it hasn't given me a single issue and their graphic interface to adjust router/network settings is fantastic. Extremely well laid out, fast, and user friendly. My only regret is not getting one that has external antennas. Didn't think about signal strength throughout the house because at the time I was searching, my biggest priority was getting a router with Gigabit Ethernet as my previous Linksys router was limited to 10/100 mbps and it was bottlenecking my internet speed. Long story short, if I were to be looking for another router, and when I upgrade to one with external antennas, I'd go Asus again for sure.

I'm not sure what happened last night or if anything changed at all because of the whole WiMax ruling, but I woke up this morning to faster LTE speeds than usual. For several months while at my home I was unable to get speeds over 2 mbps on LTE. Then about 3 weeks to a month ago I was pulling about 4-5 mbps at home. This morning I woke up and my WiFI wasn't working so when I started scrolling through Instagram on LTE it was loading everything MUCH faster. I ran a speed test and I was getting between 15-18 mbps down and 4-7 mbps up.

This news completely ruined my day When you're this excited about a change this major about to happen and then at the last minute you get told you have to wait, it's extremely upsetting. How would you feel if your employer told you that you were going to get a promotion and a 30% increase in salary effective November 6. Then you get told at 3pm on Nov 5th that you have to wait 3 more months until it kicks in. I don't know about you guys, but I would be HOT!!

Thanks for the insight guys and for the rapid response. I actually would second RAvirani's question right above me and ask how long would it take for a second carrier to show up after the shutdown? Is that something that could be set up before hand in the months leading up to the shutdown and as soon as Nov 6 rolls around they just turn off Wimax and turn on LTE? Or am I oversimplifying the amount of work required to make the transition?
-
With the sheer amount of 2.5 Ghz spectrum that Sprint has at it's disposal, is it really a REQUIREMENT for them to shut down the WiMax Network for them to be able to deploy a second B41 carrier? Don't they have upwards of 100+Mhz of this spectrum across the entire country?
-
Nice! I guess I should start keeping an eye out when I'm driving around. I have noticed over the past few days that at my job in New Oxford, my LTE has gotten unusually slow (like 500+ ms ping on a speedtest) I'm not sure if this is any sort of sign of a tower that's being worked on. But since New Oxford isn't a highly populated town, I don't see Shentel installing B41 here so early since they will be focusing on their densest areas first. I'm actually surprised that Hanover falls under that category, but I could just be underestimating the scope of Shentel's initial B41 rollout priority.
-
Wow I can't believe that. I was just in Lancaster on Friday and Saturday at the Lancaster Family Resort right across the street from Dutch Wonderland, and at no point did I run a speed test or even notice if I was connected to B41.
-
I agree with you 100%. I currently work in New Oxford, PA and Sprint LTE on band 25 here is pulling 24 mbps DL and almost 7 mbps UL (outside the building of course). Meanwhile at home in York, PA, I'm hard pressed trying to pull anything over 1.5 mbps at home so I'm hoping at least 7 those 125 B41 Sites are in York. The areas in between York and New Oxford/Hanover are very lightly populated and I'm sure capacity in those areas are far from being strained. Two B25 carriers and a B26 carrier should more than sufficient in supplying enough demand for those areas for a while. Although I am on the side that is wondering if Shentel having to expand their focus, would now slow down upgrades in their existing coverage areas. Especially since they focus their efforts on places with the biggest needs first and nTelos territory is far worse than Shentel areas. Whenever I go to Smith Mountain Lake, I basically just put my phone away for a few days, as me trying to use my phone on nTelos is an exercise in frustration, so I'm glad to see that will improve in the future!

I mean I wouldn't mind improved battery life tho!

I think in any case, 5.1 should perform better than 5.0-5.0.2, at least that's the hope. So I'll be upgrading as soon as the OTA is available tonight.
