LTE spotted in South Brunswick:

I was picking up the signal all the way from the Regal Cinema in North Brunswick and immediately knew it was coming from the water tower in South Brunswick.

This is also where the screenshot was taken.

 

I didn't go any farther south but Rt 1 is straight all the way to Princeton from here so the signal must go pretty far.

That's right by the Mc Ds and burger king

lucky i get one bar of service if i m lucky

Really?? And isn't there LTE down there which should mean there is NV. Maybe u r just on the fringe of towers down there, once 800 kicks on that might help

It won't matter whether your phone is on as the change occurs on the network side of things.

 

To simplify it, your SIM card is your "key" to the LTE network. It contains a unique number known as an ICCID. Each time an LTE device wants to connect to the network, it transmits it's ICCID number. The network then checks to see if this number is associated with a subscriber, and if so the device is granted access.

 

So when you make this change to your account online, you're simply telling Sprint, "hey, when you see this ICCID please allow it to connect and use whatever services bmattox79 subscribed to!"

Thank you!

Are those shields on the other antennas to try to beam the signal mostly in one direction?

K cool must be a work in progress cause the data is hit or miss been trying to catch the guys working there to get some up close pics

With the cluster f@$& towers in my area we could play this game every day lol

Sprint / Clearwire 2nd rack. Alcatel-Lucent RRUs directly below attached to the monopole.

is that second from the top or bottom?

That tower hosts multiple carriers

Judges?? I'm sorry that answer is to general we need more specifics

Yeah most users don't care what band they r on as long as it has strong signal and good service. We tech geeks are a small minority that wanna see what band are phone is using, my wife makes fun of me all the time on my drives around looking for towers being upgraded

My signal has been pinned at 5 bars since I started having data issues in my home area. I'm thinking maybe new antennas are up but the backhaul is still a work in progress or being taken down periodically.

I don't think we have any matches yet, next player pick a star

took a picture of this tower this morning.  i think this is the tower i use when at home.  been having some data issues,text phone issues so im wondering who is on here and if it looks like there is any NV going on here.

hello all i want to know why my signal is fluctuating so wilidly i live in the central new jersey area can someone please give me a answer. it would be appreciated sincerely daniel

Central jersey is a big area I'm in the northern part of Middlesex county and haven't noticed signal fluctuation but some data interruptions in the past week, it seems every time after I have some sort of data issues the LTE on sensorly has gotten a bigger footprint so I assume there is a lot of NV happening here now!

thanks for the move to this topic!

 

Personally I am sticking with my current plan until they force me off it. In your situation though it may be best to take their unlimited guarantee since the price is the same and you are gaining unlimited voice.

we never ever even come close to the  1500 mins per month so im not too concerned about that.  my concern is that i have 19 months before my contract is up, i decide not to change plans and get the unlimited for life guarantee and then lose unlimited, i switched to sprint and dealt with horrific data speeds for years with the hope the network would get better, which it is, but that i wouldnt have to worry about losing my unlimited data.

Hmmmmmm decisions decisions

so with sprints new unlimited for life guarantee if you pick one of their new plans and maintain it, are we as existing customers on legacy plans ie everything data share 1500 going to get beat out of unlimited data at some point if we dont switch over now and lock in. 

right now with two iphones on my everything data share 1500 plan i pat 150/month before my discount, i have unlimited text data cell to cell,1500 everything else mins.  The new unlimited my way plan is everything unlimited for 150/month, so 3 questions am i losing anything in the fine print by switching from my current to this new plan, if i wait till february of 2015 when im up do i risk losing unlimited data, and are the still giving discounts on these new plans????

ive said this a few times here, while i cant wait for a consistent steady LTE coverage, just give me <=100 pings and a steady just over 1mbps on 3G and i will be happy.  I dont try to use my phone for my home internet so everything i do from web browsing, to audio/video streaming can all be done with those speeds.  I figure if network vision brings those kind of speeds on 3G along with LTE, i might be all alone crusing on 3G with everyone else fighting for LTE LOL

is there anyway for sensorly to separate mapping for 800mhz to show where that is popping up, that would be great to see on the map how the coverage is different from the pcs band

i think its only select markets my service on my phone has been going nutts lately and i think i know why lol

mine also been getting some where things happening data seems weird text slow...NV love!

quick question, sprint currently has the wrong sim card number for my iphone5.  i have had no issues except for the fact that when in an LTE zone i cant connect, i dont get any error or problems it just doesnt connect.  im going to goto sprint.com/manage my device/change sim card.. question is should my phone be on or off when i do this, does it matter?

tks

Just noticed some LTE the other day in Montgomery just inside Somerset County north of Princeton. I was waiting at a gas station there and noticed 3G seemed unusually quick so I ran a speedtest and got 1.8mb/s. Turned on LTE and it popped up. Seems to have spread in the past week too. Also found some in Bridgewater near the ballpark.

I noticed on sensorly in the last few days LTE seems to be exploding in this part of the market,,,finally been waiting forever!

You can fix this yourself simply and easily. Just log in to sprint.com, open the drop down menu labelled "manage this device", and select "activate a new SIM card". Boom done.

should i have my iphone on or off while i do this??

I Donated 10 bucks and still got sponsor i think 5 is the most reasonable number to donate

oh cool I was thinking I could prob do 10 to 20 but wasn't sure if that was enough awesome!

You could just put a little money towards sponsorship and all those questions COULD be answered.

hate asking but what's the minimum to put in to become a sponsor and have access to those maps, I'd love to donate as I use this site daily and it always helps me out

Sometimes to search function helps

I know CNJ has active NV upgrades goin on but they have all been down south of me I am in the more northern part of the market and haven't had speeds or connection issues like this in a year or so
