  1. Drove through that area on 81 near Lexington over the Christmas Holiday, and there was nothing to report just norm slowness of nTelos 3G.
  2. If that is the case then it could very well be another year to a year and a half.....................
  3. Well since they're losing almost half of their current customers, I am almost a little surprised that this didn't happen sooner. Also would anyone know why sprint users in Roanoke still havent been able to connect to nTelos' new 4G since they *should* be using the new sprint network vision gear here unlike in the Becky, Parkersburg, and Waynesboro markets?
  4. Their probably just barely hanging on at this point. Idon't know anyone that is on nTelos.
  5. Well at the same time nTelos is about 1% of the size of AT&T and Verizon as well as Sprint And Tmobile and really is there any difference on a phone if its getting 10-15Mbps or if its getting 30-40Mbps? what matters is consistency but this is where as i'm sure most of you know nTelos and Even sprint struggle. One moment its between 0.2-0.5 the next its 1.3-1.7 Am I satisfied with the Amount of money im paying?for the most part yeah, it is unlimited but here is the main reason why as im sure many of us here in nTelos land stick with them. Verizon, AT&T, and U.S Cellular with their share your wallet plans™ are way over my budget, with TMO you either have blazing fast speeds or unusable edge (witch is changing pretty fast ifImay add) which leaves Sprint/nTelos. Sure its only 3G but MOST of the time it does what it asked to do. Will you be streaming at 720P, no but at least its unlimited and a mostly fair price. Sorry for my off-topicness.
  6. Come on Ntelos! were rooting for ya! The sooner they open it up to Sprint customers the better but i guess from the looks of things its still in very early testing oh well better than speculation!
  7. Probably still in testing as to why there is no data. So this should be band 25 right? Can you post a screen shot from the engineering screen please! This is very exciting hopefully they open it up to Sprint very soon but progress is good oh if you dont know how to get to the engineering screen here you go To get to the lte engineering screen open up your dialer and do ##DEBUG# (33284) Hopefully your not prompted for a password I dont know the nTelos code (sprint being 777468)
  8. Also have to count the sites that they are on but dont own. Really all of these actions including the eastern market sell definitely make it easier for someone like Sprint/Shentel to buy them out on the cheap.Hope/speculation and sensorly are all we got out here in nTelos land [emoji3]
  9. Hopefully all the towers have increased backhaul once the 4G arrives (for sprint users) since the nTelos only 4G only gets between 5-10Mbps according to rootmetrics.
  10. Well it looks like nTelos is selling its towers in the western market. This looks like they may be setting themselves up for a buyout now since they're also dumping the eastern market. Sorry for the non hyper-linked URL it refused to redirect to the correct page... *Edited for your reading pleasure streetinsider.com/Corporate+News/NTELOS+Holding+(NTLS)+Enters+$41M+Towers+Sale+Agreement%3B+Offers+Prelim.+Q4+Sub+Metrics/10174649.html
  11. Yeah there are quite a few protection sites in the area. To my surprise, clear.com/coverage Is still up and running and it looks like there are about 9-10 sites in the whole ntelos area give or take. Most sites I used being: Blacksburg,Christiansburg,Radford, and Salem were good for 8-10Mbps most of the time (good ol' Evo 3D). Now if Sprint could somehow get away with upgrading these sites to band 41LTE only that would be great!!! (even with the limited range!)
  12. Just had a thought! What is going to happen to all of the Clearwire protection sites in this area? It would be awesome if they got a full build! Even just band 41 LTE would alleviate some pain, but I guess they'll just shut down completely later this year. Can anyone add to this?
  13. So does anyone actually have news on sprint/ntelos LTE?
  14. That's what I understands but there is not one tower that has been upgraded to lte/spark in 8 months. That seems almost uncalled for unless their planning to just flip a switch where half of their footprint come online with LTE (wouldn't that be nice!!!)
  15. I sure hope so but I would rather shentel buy them than sprint but beggers can't be choosers. Any LTE at this point would be MUCH welcomed. BUT as far as a buyout goes it would be a prime time with nTelos stock sitting at 5 year lows. Yes something has to be going on behind the scenes. I would certainly hope sprints new management wouldn't sit idily by watching nTelos play around with the word 4G while the 3G is rotting in place
