So far, most of the reports have been for Band 26. The Note 2 does Band 25 only. Until B25 is opened up in your area, the Note 2 will not pick it up.

So, my wife's Galaxy S5 is not seeing the LTE here. I've tried a number of tweaks from this thread to no avail. Based on Robert's comment, I checked to see if she's in the same boat, as I've only seen B26 at home. Lo, and behold (from Phone Arena site of Sprint version specs):

 

CDMA:

800, 1900 MHz

FDD LTE:

850 (band 26), 1900 (band 25) MHz

TDD LTE:

2500 (band 41) MHz

I'm guessing that the 850 for B26 is correct, but maybe a typo? If incorrect and it should read 800, then I'm stumped.

Is it usual to see an LTE rollout that doesn't include the "usual" B25 at first?

So, I'm wondering if/when this new signal data can be incorporated into Robert's maps. Not until after nTelos-land is formally under Shentel? Sooner? What say the powers-that-be?

Hope so! Most of the LTE I saw was 800, so I was a little surprised it wasn't holding up in buildings

Ok nice to hear I have a iphone 6s. Should be back in town tomorrow. Did you have to do a prl update or did your phone just connect?

Well, I did 2 ##update#'s at home this AM, and another profile update on the road, but it seemed fairly spontaneous. Hard to factor out my anxiety/excitement after all the waiting!

^{so is the concensus yay or nay for lte in cville?}

While running errands today, there was LTE *almost* everywhere, but my phone would revert to EVDO all to easily. I even had to do another profile update going up Rt 29 to Target. It seemed better in the near western part of Albemarle. I suspect there's some serious optimization that still needs to happen, although I'd hoped that was already done for the nTelos users.

Not that I'm complaining about having LTE, but I miss having the base location/address that I had with CDMA

Yeah, we gotta check the backhaul!

Will do. SCP logging already running. Don't know why I can't do both . . .

I just realized I'm going to Richmond airport tonight to pick up my daughter. I'll be curious how the transition between nTelos-land and points east is, and I'll run Sensorly to generate some data.

 

Fun times! ????

Sent a positive report in via Sprint Zone app - figured they don't get much good news ????

Good thing this is all happening on a Saturday!

(with apologies to those of you having to work today)

So, after my second ##update#, it's here (Ivy, west of C'ville)!

 

EDIT: Definite speed improvement over previous <1 Mps:

 

Happy Thanksgiving to us all! ????

Nothing in Ivy west of C'ville as yet

That welcome to Shentel map showed all of the current nTelos coverage (light blue, along with the current Shentel coverage in the Valley) with some expansion of the network (orange) as all of it being 4G (whenever)

 

(Edited for clarity)

Ok, I hope you get permission to share the map! ????

"Super tiny dot", meaning what?

Ok, how about C'ville/Albemarle County?

 

Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

I hope it's that Soon™

Maybe Roanoke is mistaking 4G for Syrian refugees.

(Sorry, too Soon™?)

nTelos is dying much later than it should have . . .

 

Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

So, a little less Soon™ ????

 

Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

When I'm on eHRPD in nTelos-land after a restart or profile update, I have no data connection for a few mins until it spontaneously changes back to EVDO

 

Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

Nope, nothing in C'ville yet. (I just returned home myself, but I've learned to not get my hopes up very much.)

Why is there lte in waynesboro but not charlottesville? Ugh, hurry up.

Yeah, I hear you! Caught LTE passing by Waynesboro late this summer on my way to Staunton from C'ville. It's so hard to wait!
