    Our old wimax phones can be cantankerous. Remember to have Wi-Fi off and reboot and try again before saying it is dead. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    This landed on my desktop: FYI: nTelos Outbound LTE Roaming Service Adds Coverage in Virginia & West Virginia - All Dealers Customers in Virginia and West Virginia will have access to outbound LTE roaming. An updated PLMN file will be pushed to LTE enabled android devices with USIM cards and LTE enabled Apple devices with CSIM cards each day (including weekends) starting 11/6.

    I think that has been that way for a while. However going to the Clear coverage map now takes you to the online Sprint Store, which is smart.

    WiMAX still alive in Columbus as expected (9.91Mbps down, 1.25 up), however Freedompop VOIP app not connecting. I will try again. edit Freedompop now appears to be OK.

    I would think the more extreme the ruling, the greater the chance that it will be overturned. Preferably at 11:58PM

    Not a lawyer, but this strikes me as overreach for a Massachusetts state court. Now we have seen 6 out of the minimum of 14 pages of this document. I would like to see the rest.

    I decided to take a quick look at how much frequency WiMAX was using. First let me note that my phone treated it like CDMA in terms of site reporting -- you must have a fresh connection from disconnected to get accurate frequencies from each sector. As previously reported, each sector at a site has different frequencies, each using 10Mhz. WiMAX does behave like WiFi in that frequencies conflicts between sites should be avoided. When I looked at a small number of WiMAX sites in one area, the number of frequencies rapidly grew before I saw any duplicates (generally facing away from each other). Thus given this preliminary information noted above, combined with speeds often seen, it is possible Sprint could gain up to a ten-fold increase in throughput over the same frequencies in an area by switching from WiMAX to B41 LTE CA technologies.

    I think the quietness is primarily due to the hyper-competition in the wireless industry. Once they figure out where Sprint spends its limited resources, the Duo will try to counter.

    Basically they are still waiting on Softbank for phone leasing and NGN financing arrangements. The phone leasing portion sounded basically done, but they need a few more weeks. More secretive on NGN. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    "I’ve provided on slide nine a status update for our acquisition of nTelos. Since the deal was announced on August 10th, we have made good progress in moving towards closing. Our financing has been secured with the retail syndication being oversubscribed without going into the flex terms. We received early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino review and all state regulatory approvals have been received. Our FCC transfer application is expected to go on public notice soon. We've extended offers to nTelos employees primarily in the retail stores and field operations. Our activities are proceeding well and we’ve had great cooperation with nTelos management team. Closing is still expected early 2016." - Christopher French - President and CEO, Shenandoah Telecommunications Co. (NASDAQ:SHEN) Q3 2015 Results Earnings Conference Call October 30, 2015 9:00 AM ET

    Approval process appears normal so far: http://ir.ntelos.com/press-releases/detail/1333/ntelos-holdings-corp-reports-third-quarter-2015-results

    Maximum possible speed remains the same, but users are divided over the two carriers, thus your speed can double. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    A .csv file would indicate export. Backup would have given you a .db file.

    What steps are you taking?

    The first person to find 10x10 in the Columbus market was nowerlater on 8/3 http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4742-columbus-market-mapspreadsheet/page-193#entry434099. It has also been found in the Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Seattle markets.

    Some phones like the LG G4 can actually track cdma signal strength while active on Sprint LTE (not Clearwire). This can be be watched on debug as well. It does not allow you to make a phone call and keep the LTE active. The LG G4 also keeps a list of LTE by Sid nid bid. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    I also wonder about the delays for new service with the four named firms: AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Frontier Communications Corp. and CenturyLink Inc.

    Around 7.5 down on my local site (was 14 in early days, well before B41 LTE). So far I have observed no WiMAX site shutdowns (unlike iDEN), rather I think Sprint has given WiMAX a lower priority over the last few months based on very limited observations. A number of the Clear B41 LTE sites in Columbus are now overloaded. No sign of improved backhaul or conversions yet.

    Another way to handle the 1x plus LTE SCP screens is to fully display both like Signal Detector and LTE Discovery. This issue is getting more and more common, thus should be dealt with in sone fashion. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
