This tower is going to be delayed

haha, it's happened to all of us. -

Hypothermia, as mentioned in the article. -
Drove by a tower near my house today and saw a crew mounting a microwave antenna.
-
Tower closest to me is completely down today. Barely getting a signal from the next closest tower 6 miles away. I hope this means they're doing work.
-
Yes, power conservation at work.
-
One thing I notice with my GS3 is that the EVDO signal will generally hover in the -85 to -95 range when idle, and as soon as it starts passing data, will ramp up. Right now, for example, it's hovering around -88. Ran a speedtest, and it instantly jumped up to -71 to -75 dbm.
-
They're still having a fun time turning 800 on and off down here. Seems like it flip flops about every day or every other day.
-
Lafayette, IN near the intersection of 52 & 26. Can definitely feel the benefit of the 2nd tower they finished. I was pretty close to the tower here, with something like a -78 to -80 signal.
-
Same here.
-
Now, 800 has been active all day, but eHRPD disappeared. Not to veer too far off topic, but just to note: it seems like I always get slightly faster 3G on EVDO Rev A versus eHRPD. Whenever EVDO comes back like right now, I seem to consistently pull 2.1 - 2.3 meg down, while eHRPD seems to fluctuate more. Latency is definitely lower also, in the order of maybe 15ms on average.
-
2-3x less latency? Don't see that one happening (sub-70 ms?). For me, latency is about the same, or maybe a little higher if anything.
-
Out here in BFE Indiana, they seem to be having fun turning 800 on and off lately.
-
Sprint has had CoWs setup around all the NASCAR tracks for years. It probably helps that they are the title sponsor of the cup series, but I still can't believe they haven't done it at the ballparks in Chicago already.

Lafayette, IN
-
Odd thing I've noticed around here is 800 Mhz seems to come and go randomly. Before, it would disappear for maybe a day, then come back and stay on for weeks. Now it seems just a couple weeks after the sites switched from 3G to 3G/800 on the maps, I haven't seen 800 active in over a week. Must be related to testing or something.
-
stay with sprint or move to a different carrier?
ydoucare replied to pslee's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I think you ought to just wait it out and give Sprint a chance. I don't doubt you'd be satisfied with T-Mo, but you might be even more satisfied with Sprint if you're patient enough to stick around. -
Yes, quite a few. That tower he's talking about there had been broadcasting CDMA voice on 800 for quite a while (Aug maybe) up until a few days ago (oddly not long after it showed up on the nv sites complete map as 3G/800).
-
lol. You're posting on that very site. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/

This is the kind of comment I would expect from a casual Engadget user. In my best Christ Mortensen voice: C'MON MAAAAN

Looking at that lone site in Lebanon on sensorly, it looks like whoever mapped that one held onto LTE for about 7 miles down 65, which is pretty encouraging for us rural folk. Granted, at 7 miles, it's probably next to useless, but it gives me hope that me being 5 miles out I might be able to grab LTE at my house whenever it comes.
-
Yep, that's about what I was seeing.
-
Had some LTE in Lafayette as expected. Seen a peak of around 17 meg down, averaging probably 7 or 8. Looks like there's only one tower broadcasting (IN33XC039) though, so i'd say it held up pretty well.
-
Awesome! Looking forward to testing it out this weekend.

Update to CDMA Field Test to read LTE
ydoucare replied to digiblur's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Which modem did you flash in specific? Mine's been this way for a while. Running stock JB rooted now, but was running the last official stock ICS rooted also and it wasn't showing the BSID, SID & NID either. It used to work fine, not sure when exactly it quit. -
All the towers in my area are finally marked 3G/800 now after 800's been active for a couple months. Seen them out working on the tower again today, so i'm starting to get a little antsy.
