I am still on a 1500 family share plan with unlimited data and looked into switching my 5 lines to framily the other day and the result was a bill about $50 or so a month higher.  Not sure why.  Could have been that they included the monthly cost of new phone but it was certainly not worth the switch.

Did you upgrade any phones after January 2014? If so Spring charges a $15/month fee on top of normal Framily per line charges since you recently upgraded and are switching to the Framily plan.

Otherwise, it might not be worth it until you get 7 or more lines on your Framily ($25 x 7 = YAY)

I just purchased a home less than .5 miles north of CL03XC150 which is the tower behind Lyndhurst Municipal Court at Mayfield and Richmond.  The tower has great signal to the west but is horrific to the North.  Just a few feet from the tower and I am already down to -95 db.  At my house, where I can physically see the tower, outside I get -105db if I am lucky LTE and inside LTE is almost non-existent.  Worst yet, 1x/36 is about -98db inside my home.  Again I can see the tower.  Is there a reason this tower simply does not have any strength north.  Are there plans to add antennas or increase strength to anyone's knowledge? 

 

There is a tower north of Wilson Mills by Richmond Rd. but that does not seem to reach me either.

 

I am literally right behind Lyndhurst Park and cannot use the tower which is right there.

 

Additionally, the tower is at the Municipal building/courthouse and is also not usable from inside the building.  This is going to be a real problem for me if this is not remedied.

 

Any word on 800 SMR in the area.  There is 1 active at 271 and Mayfiled I believe but my G2 has never connected to it.  I have not seen 800 SMR since a test 6 or so months ago in the basement of the old courthouse on a Note 3.  At that time I was suing a custom PRL.  I can't imagine once 800 SMR is up and running a custom PRL will be required to connect though.

Have you called Sprint to report weak signal? They should be able to send out a tech to diagnosis the tower and make adjustments if necessary.

Isn't Axtel close to Vermilion?

Yea less than a mile south on Route 60.

Could it be from a tower on the turnpike?

I don't think so, since as I headed south towards 113 the signal went out.

Not really that many roads to drive down in that area to test, but I will try to get a better sample this weekend.

That is between the 2 and the 80 turnpike.

 

Small/rural is very subjective, I have noticed on here that a lot of people think anything smaller than New York City is rural and NYC is the centre of the universe.

Well its pretty much farmland. And has a population of just over 1000. But I agree with you for what others may have said.

From my drive from Sandusky to the Route 60 exit, i didnt have LTE outside of Sandusky. So I found it odd that it existed here, but nowhere else from what I could see.

Ill try to head up to that area this weekend and scope out LTE.

Not sure if its been mentioned in this thread yet, but i got LTE service in Axtel, Ohio the other day. Didn't have sensorly installed after updating ROM, but it was from Route 2, up to Mason Road i believe (maybe further up to around 113). Solid speeds, good latency calls worked, etc.

Next time I am out that way, i will try to remember to map it out.

Just thought it was weird that it was in Axtel, seeing as its quite a small town, unpopulated area.
