Just got an iPhone 6+ and I'm curious if I'm getting Spark or not, I'm in Champaign - Urbana...Is there a way to tell? Thanks!
-
Looks like it's the tower on Lincoln Ave is broadcasting LTE, had a great signal when I drove past!!
-
I have LTE in urbana as well. I'm right off of airport road, by farm and fleet....
-
I just saw that on the coverage maps! Awesome!! Hopefully within the next few days!
-
Has anyone seen any crews working on CU towers lately? Speed in Urbana is still very slow and haven't seen LTE.…
-
Well it looks like the fiber at the Lincoln Tower has been buried - Looks like the one on university has been too............pic is the one at Lincoln tower!
-
I agree - coverage has sucked on campus this week (and a lot in Urbana too) - Has anyone seen any crews at the towers?!?

Lincoln Ave Tower Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crews have been working on the tower off of Lincoln ave - there is a trailer parked inside the fence, as well as the ropes for safety harnesses hanging from the tower......... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Looks like crews are working on the tower on Cunningham Ave, right by MTD! - They were up in the top part of the towers with the antennas
-
makes sense - what would cause it to change to that from eHRPD? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know, or can anyone explain what CDMAEVDORevA is? Just noticed this on a Speed test this afternoon in Urbana?!? It's always shown something different.......... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Did they tell you which towers? I haven't seen crews anywhere lately.....
-
I haven't been getting 3G around town either, but I haven't seen any crews working on the sites lately??? I've only been getting 1x in most places and it's taking forever to place calls......... EDIT: You are talking about champaign Urbana right?!?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
I saw that there a few weeks back - however I was by there yesterday and it looks like they have dug some more than they had a few weeks ago! It would be so nice of they get LTE going in Urbana!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
If you drive past the tower they are talking about, you WILL get LTE, and you will see they have been doing upgrades for several weeks there. Look around the tower and you will find posts that say something like "Fiber buried here"....I posted pictures of the exact same tower that is mentioned above (near parkland college)......I drove past it tonight and LTE was live. EDIT: Adding a pic to show my speedtest from the tower by Parkland College Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it is a Sprint Tower, it shows on sprint.com/network as well as sponsor maps....
-
Crews working on a tower by parkland college in champaign.....guessing that's backhaul fiber on the roll?? EDIT: They are also installing new orange-tipped markers that say there is fiber buried below around the tower as well as on both sides of the bridge that's by it.........

-
I realize that. But there are several sites that have the fiber markers near them, that weren't there a few months ago. They also have orange flags marking where it runs, like someone has or is about to dig there
-
If you go by some of the sites you'll notice some orange poles that say "Warning fiber cable below..." or something along those lines...I'm guessing that it is for the towers?? It would only make sense. Also driving by I've seen crews working on the towers. They have LTE in Rantoul, St. Joe, Tuscola, Mahomet, and other surrounding areas. I can pickup LTE around Walmart in Urbana, and off of Cottonwood Rd. in Urbana as well. It's getting closer.

LTE popping up in Urbana, IL around Windsor and Philo Road! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Anyone noticed any upgrades going on in Urbana or Champaign??
-
Just drove by a tower on University Ave in Urbana and noticed all kind of orange flags, as well as an orange pole that said "Warning fiber optic cable"........so I'm assuming and hoping that this is for the tower? If it is, how long do you think it will take to put in and enable LTE? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Well I can get LTE around Rantoul, IL...I've got it in Mahomet, St. Joe, Tuscola, Fisher before...That pretty much covers all towns surrounding Champaign-Urbana, so maybe we're next? Wishful thinking!
-
So this may be a stupid question, but since more and more sites around Champaign-Urbana are becoming 3G/800/LTE Sites, I've decided to keep checking on towers that are close to my frequent locations to see if I can see any upgrades taking place.....anything in particular I should look for?
